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

    “You would, huh? Stay with me for twenty years, and then drug me to get me to marry you?” Diane asked softly with a smile.

    “Yup, I would, blondie. And if some guy like Tycho or some other duphus manages to steal you away from me, I promise you I will steal you right back before then,” Jules answered quietly, with a light laugh, hoping the light humor would skim over the worry she sometimes harbored that Diane could, indeed, wind up with someone else. She keeps on denying it, but maybe that’s why she hasn’t answered me.

    Instead of flashing irritation as they’d done earlier, Diane’s eyes remained soft as she gazed back at Jules, conveying her deep love for the auburn-haired beauty. After a few minutes, she broke their silence. “I just want to be perfect for you, Jules. You deserve the perfect woman, and I want to be that woman for you. I don’t know, yet, what I am – so clearly, not perfect. You’re the only woman I’ve ever slept with, and I don’t want you to wake up one morning wondering whether I could change my mind about that.”

    Jules sucked in a breath, and asked, fearing the answer, “You couldn’t be more perfect, baby … but could it happen? Could you change your mind? Go back to men, maybe?”

    Diane shook her head, and teared-up upon seeing the anguish in her beloved’s face. “I couldn’t change my mind about how I feel about you, Jules. Ever. You know that, baby.”

    “Then marry me, Diane.”

    “I will marry you, Jules. One day.”

    She reached up and ran her hands through the silky auburn tresses of her beloved, and began to pull on her lover’s head, feeling an urge to kiss the hurt away. It tore at her to see Jules this way. But at the same time she knew Jules wouldn’t accept an answer in the manner they both wanted until Diane was ready.

    Diane said softly, “I hope you’ll keep on asking me because one day I’ll whisper something to you when we’re in a moment just like this.”

    Jules shut her eyes, willing the moment to happen soon, and asked, “And what will you whisper, D?”

    Just before their mouths met, Diane answered, “Yes. I’ll whisper “yes, I will marry you, Jules.””

    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
