Chapter XXII
Mike smiled, “Bette, you les girls don’t have the monopoly on bad breakups, you know. Straight people have rough break-ups, too.” He added with a wink, “As I’m sure you remember.”
Brom eyed her with mirth, and asked, “Sooo…. you dated guys, too?”
Mike must have remembered a conversation they’d had when they started to work more closely together on the initial case concerning the cache of art that she’d stumbled on in Europe, Bette thought with a smile. Early in their work relationship on that case, as they were taking a break during one of the all-day sessions Mike and the team ran to train Bette on what she needed to do to find out more information about the cache of art she’d found, he was telling her about the ribbing he was getting from other senior agents, who’d heard Mike was working closely with “a supermodel” type. While recalling the story, Mike told Bette that he had let on to the other senior agents that Katy had nothing to worry about, since Bette was dating women, besides being so beautiful the brunette was ”clearly not playing in my league, anyway.” As they shared a laugh over the story, Bette then admitted to Mike that she had dated a couple of boys in high school, and several men in college, “to spare you any possible surprises, in case one of those guys decides to dig out more information about me …. and springs the fact that I dated men, on you!”
Now, as she returned Brom’s surprised look with a smile, she broke the news to him, too, capping it briefly with “…. but only ‘til college, Brom. For some reason things never worked for long when it came to relationships with guys. Then I had my first experience with a girl in college, and never…um… looked back since then.”
Mike jumped in when he saw Brom was about to tease her, assuring her, “Don’t worry, Bette, we won’t grill you about the boys. Well … not now, at least!”
Then he turned more serious, “But Brom is right, do you remember anything that stands out when you broke up with those women I mentioned?”
Bette leaned back on the couch that she and Brom were sitting on, resting her neck gently against the back of the couch. Despite the tension she was feeling, a smile played on her lips when a pleasant memory about the unusual couch floated unbidden into her thoughts. The day the couch had been delivered, she and Tina had “broken” the couch in. With a naughty smirk, Tina had observed, as she was about to make love to Bette, “this is a perfect make-out couch for us, baby. Just the right proportions for us…”

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

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
