    Chapter XXVII – Empire State of Mind – An Equal and Opposite Reaction

    Jules fell quiet, and then teared-up, knowing how Diane would likely respond to what she had to say. But she had to ask anyway.

    “Time can run short, I realized. For any of us. I was about to say earlier, as we started to make love, that I talked Bette’s ear off about it on the way back here. And at one point tonight, while you were kissing me, I felt I needed to show you how much I love you.”

    She paused to gather her courage, and took a calming breath in before she continued.

    “Marry me, Diane.”

    Diane gave her a small, regretful smile. She mouthed, “I love you so,” and then turned on her back, staring up at the ceiling as she fell silent.

    Jules rolled on top of her, and held her head lightly in place.

    “Are you waiting for someone else? Someone like a man, maybe?” she asked lightly.

    Diane gave her a hurt look, and Jules instantly regretted asking her those questions.

    “What about you, Jules? Could there be someone else out there for you? Maybe one of those hot rich girls throwing themselves at you in The Play Room? Sexy women with nothing better to do than burn through their parents’ cash, make themselves beautiful for you, and buy you stuff? What am I saying … why shouldn’t they buy you stuff? Aren’t they more in your league than I am, than I ever could be?” Diane shot back, feeling the sting of Jules’ questions.

    Jules pursed her lips and gripped Diane’s head less gently now.

    “They’re not in your league, D. No one’s even close. How could you think that way? Didn’t I just ask you to marry me? Haven’t I been asking you to marry me? Just you, right? I haven’t looked or thought or felt anything about anyone else. I don’t know how long I’ve been asking, but I will go on asking you for the next twenty years,” Jules answered, no less irritated.

    They looked back each other, panting slightly.

    And then Jules read something in Diane’s suddenly warming sky blue eyes … something softening. She continued in a lighter tone, “Or maybe I’ll just drug you if you don’t agree to marry me at some point over the next twenty years. Then find someone in Vegas who’ll marry us. Get George to fly us to Vegas while you’re out. Ask Bette and Tina and their kids to come along to witness it.”

    1. Wow Jules and Diane are not Bette and Tina but that was so hot! There are so many twists and turns and you never really know who to trust. I love it! Thanks for posting.

    2. I’ve spent the last three weeks reading “Let It Happen”, “Love Soul Heaven Hell” and “Empire State of Mind”. I’m a sucker for a good love story and an even bigger one for a love story with mystery, action, and intrigue. I particularly enjoy FanFIction when the author takes the characters in directions different from the original series. I’ve enjoyed how Bette turns out to be some business genius, who is sought after by the world’s movers and shakers. Yet, despite her enormous success in the business world, art still plays and important role in her life, and her life with Tina. I am riveted by the connection between Bette and Tina throughout these stories. Despite their rocky start, their connection remains the axis upon which these stories revolve around. They’ve weathered former suiters, art thieves, fighting factions in a war zone, greedy gold thieves, and rogue intelligence agents, and their connection seems to grow stronger and stronger.

      I also enjoy how you keep tying earlier scenes to the current plot line. It’s as if the first two stories laid out all the puzzle pieces and in the third story, we get to see how Bette finally puts all those pieces together. Clever, quite clever. I have a sneaking suspicion that her rescuer, Harry, from the caves, will eventually play a role in wrapping up this gold mystery. I can’t wait to see how this all plays out and whether you have another sequel planned for us. You have some crazy, mad skills as a writer, and I hope you continue to share those skills with your readers.

      • What can I say….. thanks for the read through! Glad to note the broad storyline “coheres” for you, the independent reader. I must confess there is a future arc I’ve written out, but still mulling over. Do let me know if it works (if I can manage to insert it before this one ends).

    3. Welcome back Sky!! I was wondering what was happening with Tom. I hope the antidote will work for him. His Mom did I want a legacy for him( yes I know his legacy is Tina and Bette’s baby). Is the mystery killer the woman that Tom’s mom contacted. Philby has to be stopped. Glad to see Bette and Brom make up. Diane and Jules have to get married. Diane has to trust her heart. Jules only wants her. I love all the intrigue and backstory. Bette and Tina would be the best guardians for the gold and Peter’s fortune. Their big hearts and giving souls would make them the true protectors of the world. Keep this marvelous story coming with all its twists and turns. I love it!!

    4. Oh my, I was blessed with 32 pages of bliss. My reward for threatening the life of his first born if, my computer tech could not fix my computer, in a timely manner. He was instructed to fix it now or die trying. Discussion on phone that could have started an International incident. But, he did, and I read and reread my reward. Very much worth probably the beginning of WWIII! The episode is amazing and everything is coming together as a good novelist desires. Maybe, Diane should speak with Tina about jumping into forever with J. Tina had somewhat of the same concerns as Diane. And look how well that turned out! Please keep writing and I will try not to threaten the life of anyone else!

    5. A New Chapter! That pleasant surprise.
      You have a great story in his
      hands, mystery, romance and lots of action.
