Alice shrugs.
(Alice) This will work for me
(Bette) Oh good Al, I’m relieved
They smile at each other.
(Alice) Well let’s move on then. I’m happy for you, I truly am Porter. I don’t have to understand it to see how fucking relaxed and happy it makes you
Alice shrugs and Bette smiles at her. Alice glances around the table.
(Alice) OK, I’m going for a swim
Alice picks up her phone as she stands from the table.
(Alice) And I’m putting on this album I want you all to get into, I’m fucking obsessed
They all smile at each other and take a sip of their drinks as Alice sets up the music and jumps into the pool.
A short while later, Bette, Alice and Dana are enjoying the water and Shane lies in a sunlounger sipping her beer.
(Alice) Do you like this song?
Bette frowns over at her from the other side of the pool.
(Bette) Alice, I can’t hear you. Can we turn the music down?
(Alice) What?
(Bette) Oh for fuck’s sake
Shane laughs as she stands and makes her way to the table, turning down the music and then checking her phone.
(Shane) Hey, Bette, I’ve got a couple of missed calls from Tina. Is she trying to get onto you?
(Bette) Oh, I don’t know
As Bette pulls herself out of the water Alice leans out of the pool and checks her phone as well.
(Alice) Oh, yep, her and Helena are out the front. Is your doorbell still not working?
Bette walks to the sunloungers and reaches for a towel.
(Bette) No, it’s not. She knows that though, but I guess I didn’t hear my phone over this music
Bette pulls the towel around herself and gives Alice a look as she makes her way inside.
Bette makes her way to the entrance and opens the door to Tina and Helena waiting on the doorstep, with Tina holding her phone to her ear. Tina cancels the call and smiles reassuringly at Bette when she sees her anxious expression.
(Bette) I’m so sorry, I didn’t hear my phone. Have you been here long?
(Tina smiles) Well… a little while
Bette cringes as she glances between them and Helena smiles as she steps past her and walks into the house, placing her hand on her shoulder affectionately as she passes. Tina then smiles and steps towards her, wrapping her arms around her waist.

I’m here! I’ve been waiting! Gonna read now. Whew!
Thanks, K. :))
Great to see a new chapter!
Still wonder a bit how they see this not as a committed relationship but if this is how it works for them, i am very happy for them.
Sad to read the story almost comes to an end.
Truly enjoy your stories!
Okay… so they have worked out that they are girlfriends indefinitely….. exclusive, in love but not committed. They can make plans together but not long-term plans. I’m not sure how they define long term but okay… perhaps it means not permenant such as buying a house together or getting married. They are fine as long as things are for convenience and not commitment. For me commitment is an expression of intent not a guarantee. Someone can say to you they will promise love you forever. They are expressing their intent and even pledging to use their best efforts to fulfill that promise. But there are no guarantees in life whatsoever. They are acting like a committed relationship just not labeling it as such. And by not labeling as such, they both can avoid their phobias of being in a committed relationship. They will both will be free to come and go as they wish and to lead the life they want to live. Just as in any committed relationship. As long as what they agree to is a matter of convenience not commitment at least in their perception, things will be fine. I guess my thoughts are how in the world did these two ever get to the concept that commitment was a trap of doing something they really did not want to do? I’m with Alice…. I’m not sure I understand. I’m not sure I ever will… but okay.
Thanks for the chapter…
Officially, “spring” is (sorta) here so good U took a much deserved break!!!
The missed calls, Tina taking too long outside… i seriously thought something bad was or had happened to Tina.
I originally had it that Tina left to go and pick up Helena and I realised it totally seemed like I was setting up for an accident! So I changed it but I guess the vibe is still there a bit hey? Sorry about that!
Hahaha yes! And i was thinking that the “accident” will knock some sense into tina about commitment! (Hihihi)
But then i read your notes, 1 chapter to go. (Aww,) We can’t squeeze an accident with just one chap to go.
Anyway, im great with the keys!
Great way to show how much Tina needs a key.
Great, all in love and Alice is confused as always ;)
I love them but they would both be devastated if they broke up so call it what you want they are already committed. Would love to know what causes Tina to be so afraid of commitment. What would happen if something happened to one of them and only family is allowed to visit etc?
