Chapter XXII
Bette frowned slightly, but accepted the cup he gave her with a small smile. As he handed Tina her cup, he laughed slightly, “I know … not as good as what you or Bette make for me.”
Tina thanked him as she took her cup, “Don’t be silly, Brom. I’m sure the tea’s good. And of course, please do stay the night. You’re welcome here anytime, you know that.”
Bette blanched slightly when she sipped the tea. Pretty strong cup Brom made.
Mike laughed lightly at her reaction, and at Brom’s subsequent rueful head scratch.
“Ok … I’ll sign off for now. Brom … thanks for everything. And we’ll connect later?” he asked.
Brom nodded, and, as Bette gave Mike an air kiss, Brom tapped on the “disconnect” button on Bette’s screen.
Tina set her cup down, and continued to caress Bette’s hair. “So, why don’t we grab some dinner?”
Brom shook his head, “Not for me thanks. I have a lot to do, and, um … maybe I’ll just order in or something.”
Tina could tell from Bette’s body language that the brunette was also disinclined to head out. “Look, why don’t we just all order in? Baby?”
“Sure, T,” Bette answered, still slumped against Tina, lost in thought. “Why don’t we go check with Alice, and see what she wants?”
Tina shook her head, “Alice is joining Elise’ family for dinner. They invited her about half an hour ago, and so she went to join them, while I headed home.”
Brom’s phone rang. He thumbed the glass screen, and answered the call, giving Bette and Tina a quick smile of apology while he turned away and walked to the other end of Bette’s home office.
Tina continued to stroke Bette’s hair, in the meantime, kissing the top of her head occasionally.
“What do you say, baby? How about I fix us something for dinner, for a change? I got some flowers, champagne. You can read me poems from that book you got for me in San Francisco –“
Bette smiled and gently grabbed one of Tina’s hands, and began to kiss the blonde’s fingers slowly. She thought about the Chinese proverb they’d heard at a recent yoga class. “Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.”

Love this story. Keeps me guessing. Thanks
Hi thanks for the post! I’m sure its going to be someone we least expect it to be. PPS
I’m so glad you are back. Thank you for the excellent update. What a tangled web Bette does weave! There are so many twists and turns to even venture a guess who presents the most danger to Bette and Tina. Is it Eric seeking revenge against Tina? Is it that Lauren person? Her family has a huge art collection to archive. Not Kelly or Jodie, please. So many questions to be answered. Please continue to post.
Omg, this is a amazing story.
I am not sure i ever commented, but this story has everything, Love, danger, intrigues
I wonder who is after Bette and Tina. Maybe a (supposed) close friend of them.
Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Great chapter!!! I so hope its not Jody going after Bette. This story just keeps getting better. Thank you PPS
Hi there, Thanks for checking in! Hope you’re all well (and warm. This snow season is hanging around too long, don’t you think?)
Am trying to figure out how to add a music file — the last scene in this chapter can be way cooler (or hotter!) with the song I wrote the scene for/to. I don’t think what I tried, in trying to hotlink the music, was working. Have figured out the last few chapters for the book … and they rock! (according to random people I asked to preview outlines for them). Just trying to find the time to write them all out. But let me know what you think as they roll out :-)
Oh, the plot definitely grows thicker! Spencer’s the obvious choice of bad guy… too bad that they didn’t let his surname slip, else Tina may have been able to help. That omission may prove costly…
Glad you’re back, post soon! Cheers :)
Oh my, this is very intense and interesting. I hope that the girls are not put through too much danger. Boy oh boy Bette was a busy girl.
Hmmm… I wonder who is after Bette? Can’t figure this one out and that’s a good thing. Post soon please!
Please just let me express my enjoyment of your writing skills and your creativity. I have been a silent reader probably longer
then you have been alive. I am one of the “old school” generation much experience with dial phones stamp and letter for mail and a dictionary for spelling check. But, due to my desire to continue to read your talent I have traversed the electronic midfield to stay with the new site. Though the idea was very intimidating to me, all for the sake of reading your entertaining stories. Please continue to do so and I promise to move forward with this electronic wizardry Thank you for your creations
Love them and they need to be safe
