Chapter III – Yes, I’m Ready
“I thought I’d been in love before, yes.” Rian answered. “I told you I’ve had a couple of intense relationships.”
They looked at each other in silence, looking deeply into one another’s eyes, feeling their way through an uncertain, dangerous vertex.
The phone vibrated in Jade’s hand, which she’d held loosely on her palm.
“Are … are we meant for each other?” Jade asked hoarsely, her heart in her throat. She wanted Rian to see in her eyes the full extent of her desire for something like “yes” to be the answer to this all-important question.
“It may sound like a simple question,” Rian whispered after a beat. The silence between them grew thick. “But …”
Jade nodded, unsure about whether she could trust herself to say the right words, or any words given the jumble of emotions she was feeling. Her heart felt like it was beating out of her chest.
The phone vibrated again.
“Here, let me answer them,” Rian said gently, and then took the phone from Jade after the tall, dark-haired woman nodded slowly, emerald green eyes still boring into hers, waiting for an answer.
“It’s complicated,” Rian tapped out.
“yes, it is.”
A pause.
“If u want, we can tok f 2 f. it took a while & a lot of pain b4 we figured tings out. Stil wrkng @ it. Hapy 2 share. Or we cud just listen 2 u. No pressure. ”
Rian tilted her head to one side. She raised an eyebrow in a question.
Jade gave her a small smile. “What do you think?”
“May be a good idea,” Rian answered. “New couple, struggled, they say, but young. They offer another perspective. And Tina vouches for them, so …”
Jade took her phone back, and tapped out, “Tx a lot. Yes, wud luv 2 tok. Saturday?”
Rian stepped back, an arm loosely hanging on to Jade’s waist. They smiled at each other.
A minute later, a response came,
“Brunch. Jules’ place. Wil text details.”
“Ok. Tx again.”
They exchanged a long look as Jade slipped her phone back into her pants.
After a while, Jade took Rian’s hand; they interlaced fingers, and then Jade tugged on Rian’s hand to lead her to the nearby couch.
“I know I asked you a big question there,” she started, and paused after accepting a cup of tea from Rian. “Thanks, Ri.

Nooooooo, please update quick. I hate cliffhangers. Thanks
This was the natural end of the chapter, sorry had to cut it there. But am posting the concluding chapter to the story tonight/early tomorrow morning. Hang in there.
Sky why only another chapter? Ok I guess we have to wait and see what happened to Rain and Jade. Great story otherwise.
Never want JADE to experience the hurt that BETTE felt that day on the bridge OMG i was physically sick i knew TINA was in over her head but when she told BETTE it was as if i myself was there too.JADE may not rally back like BETTE but she will have the same support system i hope.SHE’s a fighter and for that i have hope that she will make it thru whatever lies ahead.thanks
Ok, must admit that i didn’t had the time to read this marvelous story earlier, but Skydancer, why do i have the feeling that Jade’s heart is going to be shattered?
It seems Rian knew that she wasn’t available to have a relationship with Jade, is that why she was so persistent that Jade experienced more loves, heartbreaks etc. ?
I don’t have a good feeling about the letter.
You promised to update soon, i am waiting patiently for it.
Thank you for this incredible story!
Hey, wait a minute. I already just had a Heart Attack and now you are trying to give me a second one?Okay, I will keep reading because it is that good but, I am going to stay connected to my oxygen and heart monitor!!!
Hope you are recovering well! Do take care.
*** Dear all, posting an update now. ***
Ok Sky, you can’t just leave us here. What the hell? I know that Jade needed to grow into her relationship with Rian but as a widow? No!! Please give them a chance to form that love bond that appeared when they first met. Jade’s girlfriend was just a superficial child. She did not have the depth that Jade requires to flourish. That women is Rian, Please keep her safe and bring her back!!
I’m suspecting this letter will not bring good
news, and that jade will suffer.
Going to next chapter.
The entire constellation.
