Chapter III – Yes, I’m Ready
How would I know if I was? If she was?
Jade shut her eyes temporarily to keep from looking into the abyss that was represented tonight by the snow-peppered, dark, brooding, but strangely affecting Park that lay outside in a winter’s silence. Please tell me: is this love? Or is this simply a deep, deep lust that’s pulling us to each other? If the latter, “taking a running leap” into the abyss would likely lead to a disastrous end that would be impossible to recover from. And the last thing she wanted was to be the cause of any kind of pain to Rian.
But if you stare long enough into the abyss …
Jade felt her phone vibrate in a side pocket of her pants and extracted it absentmindedly from her pocket. She swiped on the screen.
A text from Tina.
“Did you enjoy the reception? Heard from a friend that it was very nice.”
She stared at the message confusedly, but only for a second. Another text:
“Do u think you both will find some time tmrw pm for tea or something?” (emoticon)
Jade recovered. “I’m not sure. We had an argument.”
A pause. And then:
“Sorry to hear about that. Not the best time 2 have one.”
“About Rian.”
Another pause. And then:
“Do you want to talk?”
“No. Messaging is fine.”
“OK. What happened?”
“Rian & Dan were in the reception.”
“I see.”
“Everything was fine but Dan had to go. And then F had to go.”
“So it was just you and Rian left @ the reception?”
“Yeah. And we had a blast. I’ve never had so much fun with anyone @ a party.”
A pause.
“Bette is next to me. Can I bring her in?”
“Of course. She and I have talked about … well… a lot of things.”
“I’m glad.”
“Jade: Bette here. So F is upset with you?”
“We’re upset with each other. She crossed a line.”
A pause.
“Jealous about Rian?”
Jade exhaled, fingers hovering over the glass surface of her phone.
Rian. The name alone was loaded with so many things.
A sound from somewhere behind her made her turn around.
Rian was leaning against the door jamb, wearing a gown of flower-printed, thin gold-and-blue silk, elegant and shimmering.

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.
