Chapter III – Yes, I’m Ready
Rian nodded and sat on the other end of couch, leaning against the cushioned arm, tucking her legs under her.
“Let’s not start with that question, Jade,” she finally answered.
Jade gave her a rueful smile and nodded. “Yes, of course.”
They fell quiet, sipping on the tea, exchanging friendly smiles.
“So, do you really think you’re coming down with something?”
“Yeah. Feel a scratchy thing in my throat. That’s a tell – bad cold or flu or fever or something. Maybe just a one day thing.”
She sipped on the hot beverage several times, drinking as much of the chamomile tea as she could.
Silence again as they eyed each other.
Finally Jade cleared her throat. “Umm … I have a crazy question that’ll be easy to take care of. At least that’s what I think.”
There was an unguarded, vulnerable piquancy in her voice.
A slow smile crossed Rian’s face. “You can ask me anything, you know that.”
“You and me … our friendship … this thing between us that we’re trying to figure out,” Jade started, hesitatingly, “it’s not a passing whimsy to you is it? Or even if not – you don’t only see me as a playmate you talk to from time to time …”
She faltered and then stopped talking altogether when Rian’s supportive smile changed.
Rian looked at her instructably. Her eyebrows knit together; there was a faint irritation in her eyes.
“Why would you think that?” she asked, finally. And then she sighed, “that whole line of thinking wasn’t yours, I’m sure.”
She licked her lips and then took a long sip of the tea in her cup, almost draining it, eyeing Jade, shaking her head slightly.
With a heartfelt sigh, Jade stood and walked closer to where Rian sat, and took a seat next to her. She laid her tea carefully on the coffee table, and pulled on one of Rian’s hands, enfolding it between her own. Rian’s hand felt slightly clammy but warm from holding the tea cup. Maybe she WAS catching a cold or something.
“You’re right. That’s not how I think about you at all. And I know that while you think I’m young and have a lot to experience in life, still, you believe in me, and respect me,” she said slowly.

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.
