Chapter III – Yes, I’m Ready
Rian shook her head lightly from side to side, and sat away from Jade reluctantly. She accepted the pills and hot beverage Jade offered to her. “This is very sweet of you, babe. Real honey-ginger tea – such a nice treat for my throat!”
Jade leaned over and dropped a kiss on her hair. “The real treat was sleeping next to you all night, with you in my arms, and having you wake up in them on a beautiful Christmas morning,” she murmured against Rian’s hair, as she dropped another kiss.
They fell quiet, lost in thought, as Rian sipped her tea. When she drank it all up, Jade took the cup and saucer from her and laid it on the night stand. Rian leaned over to rest her head against a nook on Jade’s shoulder again.
She turned on her side and slipped her arms around Jade’s waist, head still nestled against her shoulder. “I was thinking …”
“Uh-oh …”
Rian squeezed Jade’s waist lightly. “C’mon, this is serious.”
“I know it’s serious. That’s what I’m afraid of.”
Rian drew away slightly to look at the dark-haired woman. Gone was the slightly mocking, half-teasing smile of this morning. Jade refused to look at her. She was pensive, and chewing on her lower lip.
“If you’ve ever been hurt, ever experienced that deep, searing pain that annihilates you, and you think that you can’t take another step, wake to another beautiful morning, or even just laugh,” she started to explain.
Jade looked down and sighed. “No, I haven’t.”
“Going through that kind of relationship is so important for your growth, Jade. Experiencing the peaks and valleys, and even the “stable” in between, knowing these various parts of what it’s like to love someone, struggling with balancing your feelings and needs with those of the one you love, or think you love…”
Jade turned to look at her then. “As long as I have you beside me ….”
Rian shut her eyes and let out a sigh. She leaned into her nook and felt those strong arms envelope her in a warm embrace.
They stayed this way for a few minutes longer.
“My boss is getting married in a few months and she told me something really interesting just the other day, before she left to catch her flight with her fiancé, to spend the holidays in the Caribbean.”

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.
