(Alice) Well that is nice to see
They both turn to her and smile.
(Tina) Hey Al
Tina and Bette share a sideways glance as Tina steps towards Alice and hugs her.
They all settle outside and spend time enjoying the sun and the water. Tina, Alice and Helena are in the pool and the others nearby on the sunloungers. Bette’s cell rings and she mouths ”James” to Tina as she stands and retreats inside for the call. Tina smiles as she watches her go, and Alice calls out to her from across the water.
(Alice) So TK
Helena raises her eyebrows as she swims past Tina.
(Helena) TK?
Tina shrugs.
(Helena) I think I need to come up with a nickname for you
(Tina smiles) I don’t think I’ve ever heard you call anyone a nickname
(Helena sighs) I know, but I feel left out
Tina laughs and then turns her attention back to Alice.
(Tina) Yeah Al
(Alice) How far ahead can you two look? Could you plan a holiday?
(Tina smiles) Yes Al, we’ve been talking about taking a break. It’s the long-term we’re not focused on
(Alice nods) OK great. Well do that, but I think we should all go away somewhere too
(Tina smiles) I think that sounds great
(Alice smiles) Great. Helena, you too?
(Helena smiles) Sure Alice, you can count me in
Bette leans out the courtyard door with her phone held to her chest.
(Bette) Tee, did I leave a briefcase at your place?
(Tina) Shit, yes, you did. I brought it over but it’s in my car
Tina starts to swim to the side and Bette smiles and waves a hand at her.
(Bette) It’s OK, I don’t need it, I just wanted to check where it was
Bette smiles at her and returns inside, and Tina continues making her way over to the edge and pulls herself out of the water.
(Alice) Getting it now?
(Tina) Yes, I may as well. Back in a sec
(Alice nods) OK
Alice watches Tina disappear inside and then turns to Helena.
(Alice) I guess you’d be pretty happy with how this has all worked out with them?
Helena smiles as she looks over at her.

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?
