Breathe– Chapter 9
“Anything that has absolutely no bearing on the world we live in,” Tina said, her head now back and eyes closed. “How bout why a Seattle Police Detective drives a BMW and lives in a million dollar home, “Tina said lightly. “I’d like to hear that explanation. I’m sure it will keep me awake all the way back to your iron rod gate and circular drive”. Tina stole a glance at Bette, wanting to make sure she knew she was kidding.
She leaned forward and shifted towards Bette when she saw her face darken. “Bette what is it?” she asked, the previous light tone replaced by concern.
She was just about to ask again when Bette, obviously trying hard to keep her tone light and failing miserably, said “I’m not sure that story falls safely under, what was it you said, the having no bearing on the world we live in category.”
Tina waited to see if Bette was going to continue and then asked quietly “Do you want to talk about it?”
Bette leaned her head back for just a moment and sighed as if she carried the weight of the world on her shoulders. She looked at Tina, and bringing her hand up to her face softly placed it along Tina’s cheek, her fingers extending into her hair and barely curling around her neck.
Tina closed her eyes and leaned into Bette’s touch. “Does this make you uncomfortable?” Bette asked, her vulnerability lying naked in her quiet voice.
Tina quickly raised her hand to cover Bette’s and held them both tightly against the softness of her face. “How can you even ask that, Bette?” Tina asked. “I know I said I didn’t think of myself as ***** up to this point in my life,”
Their eyes met and Tina knew the meaning of Bette’s raised brow. “Alright,” she corrected, “that wasn’t exactly how I said it.”
“That’s an understatement,” Bette interrupted. “You said you weren’t *****. No ‘haven’t thought of myself as *****’, or ‘I haven’t been ***** up to this point’. I think your exact words were I’m. Not. *****.” Bette’s paused placing a period between each word for emphasis.
Tina smiled as Bette’s playful tone. “What? Were you taking notes Detective Porter?”

Nice – you write a good mystery. I’d read this if it were a book – I am reading it – & will continue!
I am sure you can manage a few more sleepless nights to keep writing. When the creative juice is flowing you have to keep going- you won’t be able to sleep anyway with the story running in your head so you may as well stay up to write! Right?
So when can I have the next chapter???
This story has a huge grip on me, I’m wanting to read it like it is a novel, I just can’t wait for the next chapter.
So are the women in the pic’s look like tina, or does she know them??
