Chapter III – Yes, I’m Ready
“T … can you please get that?” Bette had mumbled, lying faced down on the pillow.
Tina felt for the wireless handset and somehow found the strength to put it against her ear. “Hi, Mike. Yeah, a little breathless. No, I can talk. Um … tonight?”
She let the handset fall from her hand on the pillow, the speaker side still close to her ear, as she took several deep breaths.
“I see … um, ok. Give me half an hour. I’ll see you in Sarabeth’s .”
After hanging up, Tina had turned to Bette to tell her what Mike had said. But the brunette’s even breathing told her that Bette had fallen fast asleep. Twenty minutes later, after a quick kiss on those luscious lips, Tina left their room quietly. She went to check on Angelica. Their little girl was fast asleep also, snoring slightly. Tina adjusted the bed covers over the sleeping form and kissed the plump cheek, smiling down at their angel. These two exhausted loves of my life. So, so lucky, am I.
Less than ten minutes after exiting through the metal gate, Tina got to the Upper East Side café that she’d suggested to Mike – a neighborhood favorite. Upon entering, she immediately spotted Mike, who’d been keeping an eagle eye on the door. “Hi Mike!” She waved at him. The café would be closing in an hour, and she knew she’d have to wake early the next day. While she was glad to see their friend, she wanted this to be quick.
She made her way to the table their friend and he stood up, a wide grin splitting his face, clearly happy to see her. He drew Tina into a warm hug, and then pulled the chair for her. Now I feel bad for wanting this to be quick, Tina thought to herself.
He nudged the cup of tea that he’d ordered for her and a plate of the famous cookies that Sarabeth’s customers ordered by the box-ful, sometimes.
Tina laughed and eagerly popped a chocolate “chubby” into her mouth, biting half of it off. “Thanks, Mike. I’m suddenly hungry, actually.”
Mike laughed and sat back, taking a long sip of the hot chocolate that he liked to indulge in whenever he was in New York. Katy, his wife, had teased him that Mike had started to indulge in hot chocolate “only after Bette introduced you to all of those deadly hot chocolate drinks. You’d better add a mile or two to your runs in the morning after each one of those!”

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.
