“I want to know about you?” Bette said suddenly as her body sat up as if on cue with the words.
“Know what?” Tina said in immediate response, obvious that her closed eyes did nothing to hide the fact that she was also not in the least bit relaxed.
“You, everything about you, your favourite colour, did you have a pet growing up, what you do for a living, what colour are your bedroom walls…”
Tina opened her eyes and looked upwards. She took a deep breath as she absorbed the questions Bette had asked. Her head turned towards Bette where she saw an almost longing look in her eye. There was a desperation evident to know all there was to know about Tina in the short time they had left together.
“I want to know about you Tina…, I want to know what makes you tick, what food you like, what your favourite music is, what you like to do to relax, what job you do…” Bette’s voice was almost pleading.
“Bette…”
“Tina…”
“One thing at a time…” Tina smiled gently.
“We don’t have time for that…, we only have today left.”
Tina’s smile dropped from her face as she looked down at her hand’s. She was all too aware of how little time they had left, and now that the clock was ticking there seemed so much desperation in Bette’s voice that it began to scare her.
“I know…”
“What are we going to do?” Bette asked suddenly, aware that the sound of her own voice wasn’t one she recognised of herself. Bette Porter didn’t do pleading. Bette Porter was strong and yet in that very moment she felt anything but strong. She needed to get a grip.
Bette took a deep breath, picked up her bottle of water and slugged it back until the bottle was empty.
Tina watched as Bette changed her composure, how could someone do that so collectively that in one moment they almost pleaded and the next she was composing herself by just drinking water.
Bette screwed the top back on her bottle and looked back at Tina, she took a deep breath before she spoke, “okay…, I didn’t mean to just fire all those questions at you like that…”
“It’s okay…” Tina said quietly.
“No, you’re right. It should be one thing at a time regardless of it being our last day.”
“Bette…, I’m confused…”
“What about?” Bette asked, suddenly puzzled.
Tina scoffed, “doh…” she said as she waved a hand back and forth between them.
Bette chuckled, “oh right…, sorry my head is a bit all over the place…”
“Mine too.”
“It is?”
“Yes, it is. I don’t know what to think about us, about what’s happened between us and what I want to happen in the future…, if there even is one…”
Bette looked down at the empty bottle in her hand. The first thing she needed to know was how many miles separated them when they got home.
Bette looked at Tina and slipped her sunglasses onto the top of her head, “where do you live?”
Tina smiled, it was a start. “You know this one question and our answers probably hold the key to all the other questions we both have?”
“That’s why I thought maybe it should be the first one…” Bette said, almost afraid to hear any answer that Tina would give.
“Okay…, who should go first?” Tina asked tentatively.
“You…”
“Okay, we both just say the town and state…”
“Yeah…” Bette said, knowing her heart rate had increased in those few seconds.
Tina took a deep breath, she knew in her heart of hearts that this wasn’t going to be straight forward, she hesitated as her lips parted ready to speak, “…Richm…”
“Richmond, Virginia…?” Bette finished the sentence without thought.
“Yeah…, Richmond, Virginia… You now…?” Tina said as she swallowed the lump that suddenly appeared in her throat, which may have been caused by the hollow look that had just appeared in Bette’s deep eyes.
“West Hollywood…”
“California?”
“Yeah, California…” Bette said in a quiet voice.
Tina raised her own voice as the information settled in her mind. “Jesus Christ, could we have both lived in the same country and been any further apart?”
“It seems not…”
“You know that’s about…”
“Two and a half thousand miles…”

Hello Jobadge o/ Thank you for coming back and continue writing this story… :-) I am looking forward to read more of your masterpieces! … Though it seems now is a good time to sit and hold on tight after reading this chapter … :-/
Brilliantand proof that form is temp and class is permanent…now what about Situations ? pretty please x
Happy with the update. Moreeeeeee
So great to have you back, missed this story. Thanks for posting.
Hey Jo, that is the second good thing to have happened to me today! Progress on a special project and a post from you! 2500 miles is a great distance indeed that will mean stretching those heart strings a great deal! This is tugging at mine already! Mind you for BP I’d swim the distance …… Thank you for posting! :0)
Thank you for posting another chapter. Now they just have to figure out what they are going to do about the distance. It’s not so bad. :) I look forward to more.
Thank you so much, Ive missed your stories, please post more.
Hey now, I thought Ally was the drama queen!! You’ve been spending way too much time with her! ;) And yet, I love this chapter! Thanks so much for coming back and resuming this wonderful story… Hi, my name is Kword75, and I HAD been several months without a Jobadge dose! But today I succumbed again and I am now back to being a Jobaddict! Please, I need more!…
Really enjoying the story…don’t go away now..
oh man, it’s far…sounds like my life, i hate long distance…let’s hope they can manage to get closer….so glad to see you posting :)
Awww I was hoping that they would both be southern California girls. :(
Hey ;)loving the update…and loving that your writing again…always worth the wait. catch ya soon x
Had to go back and read from the beginning as something tells me that Tina is holding back an important piece of information. I get the feeling that Richmond is not truly where she lives… maybe she’s there for a limited time?? Can’t wait to see where you take this. Fantastic reading!
The way Tina was stumbling over telling Bette of her hometown sounds like she lives somewhere else or is moving to a different town. Maybe she is waiting for Bette to commit before she tells her the real story? PPVS
Say it ain’t so, Jo. Is it too late to give one or both of them superpowers? You know, like Superman. Let ’em fly!
Well bummer, I don’t think that is one of those lets have coffee distances, but more like holiday distances. Ummm, maybe a move is in the future for one of our fair ladies.
Yea–You came back with it! I was so glad to see you were resuming this story! Can’t wait for the next post!
In my diluted romantic brain I thought they would both say California, but no – would have been too easy. Looking forward to their solution and your next post.
Thank you for another amazing update. Love this story but did they need to live so far away from each other. Thank you again love your writing.
I m hoping for a happy end.So glad you are back.Thank you for the update.
I WANT MORE ! I WANT MORE ! I WANT MORE ! I NEED MORE !!! JO, how can you do this to us ?? ;) Seriously, where is the rest ? Great job in keeping the suspense up !!! I kinda believe they’re going to find a way to work something out, but how and when ?
