”Bette?,” Brom asked, his deep voice bringing her back to earth. “Um… sorry,” she responded, opening her eyes slowly as she massaged her temples, neck still rested against the curve of the couch.
“Having a hard time remembering those break-ups?” Mike asked with a twinkle in his eye. “Just how many break-ups have you had, anyway?”
Bette drew her head up further to look at Mike square in the eye, and asked with a smirk, “Wait … are you asking me what my number is?”
Brom laughed slightly, “Better you than me, I guess.”
Bette shook her head, “Hmmm… I’m not sure what that has to do with anything ….,” she started to say. “Or if I should answer that –“
Mike joined in Brom’s teasing laughter. He offered, “Okay, clearly a very personal topic. Maybe we should all share confidences so that we all feel like we’re exposing something to each other here?”
Brom laughed a little bit more, poking Bette’s shoulder good-naturedly as a full-blown blush crept up Bette’s face. Mike smirked, “Okay, fine, fine. I’ll go first, since I’m the plain-looking shmuck in the bunch. Um… fifteen.”
Bette raised her eyebrows in a silent question. Mike nodded, “Katy’s the fifteenth. And the last one,” answering her unspoken question.
Brom was silently tapping into his tablet as they bantered. Bette and Mike both turned to him. They exchanged glances then asked Brom together,“Well?”
He laughed slightly, “Just consulting my personal files here…. so I can give you an accurate answer. You know me … I like to be precise, accurate.”
“We know,” Bette smiled in bemusement. “But c’mon, Brom. Seriously … do you keep a file on all your relationships?” He shrugged nonchalantly, and smiled at each of them in turn.
Bette and Mike were both shaking their heads as Brom answered, “Well … 34.”
“Whaaaat?!” he asked Bette, slightly defensive, bracing himself for teasing from Bette.
“Nothing … nothing,” Bette answered, with a smile “I’d have thought it would have been higher.”
“Like yours?” Brom bantered back.
She coughed slightly, knowing her turn was up. Both men looked at her silently, with teasing smiles. Oh, yeah. This was going to be good. They knew Bette had been a “player” before Tina.

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
