Because You Love Me – Chapter 3
“Thanks Shane, bye.”
Meanwhile at Bette’s house
Bette slowly flipped through all of her clothes, carefully choosing what she would wear for lunch. After choosing the right out fit she gave herself a satisfied smile in the mirror. She decided on a pair of loose fitting Gap khakis with her favorite burnt orange long-sleeved fitting shirt. She lightly applied her makeup and pulled her curls back into a loose ponytail.
‘Perfect,’ she said to herself. ‘Okay, it’s one o’ clock, I just need to call in the food and everything will be ready.’ She set the lunch table for the food, placing a soft pink rose inside a small glass vase in the center. As she was walking toward the bathroom for one last touch-up, a silver frame sitting on the fireplace mantle caught her attention. The shiny frame held a picture of her and Tina. It could always her smile no matter how many times she’d seen it.
Bette held the picture close as she sat down on the couch. She smiled to herself, remembering the exact day it was takengraduation. The expression on both their faces was priceless, pure accomplishment. She slid the picture out of its frame and flipped it over to read the writing that she had already memorized by now.
B.
WE DID IT! Can you believe that we have graduated from college?! I still remember senior year of high school, frantically copying each other’s notes before our finals. I wish Mrs. McDonald could see us now as college graduates.
I know I’ve said this a million times, but your friendship means everything to me Bette, absolutely everything. You’ve been with me through thick and thicker (I really don’t remember any thins!). You’ve always been my comfort before there was even any pain. You are my best friend, and I love you Bette, nothing can ever change that.
Yours forever,
T
P.S – We have to get real jobs now! Ugh!
She laughed a little as she slid the picture back into the glass. Not even realizing she was crying, a tiny tear fell onto the picture as she walked it back to the fireplace, but she quickly wiped it away with her thumb.

WOW!!! what a bantastic start to a story. looking forward to more!
Amazing and wonderful – this is so great and I really like the way Bette used the painting to open up their communication….she is a clever girl :o)) By the way – don’t be nervous about your writing Damien, it’s such a kick to read and always put a BIG smile on my face. I’m sooo looking forward to you’re posting again.
Ha! the comment above should have said FANTASTIC! not bantastic! …sorry!
Ok that’s odd? I just posted a comment but after refreshing, I didn’t see it. Hmmm?Anyways, I’ve been a long time reader and commenter of the pages but time has been scarce and I’ve had to ration it as need be. Well I love you story. I enjoy the angle, i.e. Bette and Tina being long time friends and soon to be lovers(?) That’s a risky jump to make. It raises the argument, is being ‘in-love’ worth more than just being ‘loved’? I’d like to think so but then that’s just me. Also, the way you helped Tina to express her feelings using the painting as a segue was masterful and bodes well for your story. I’m really looking forward to how you handle the changing dynamic of their relationship.
Wow. That was excellent. Looking forward to more.
aww sweetttttttttt
hey Damien, this story is great and I hope you post soon. you Bette is amazing, so sweet. I like how your Tina seems to know what she wants, eventhough she may be fearful of what is to come. she doesn’t seem to be as flaky as she is sometimes portrayed.
