Do you remember when… Chapter 2
Tina glanced at the clock as she began stirring the sauce she was concocting, her mind formulating how long she would have left to prepare the rest of the meal, shower and change before Bette came home from work.
Her fingers held the bunched thyme as her hand and wrist flicked the knife as she deftly chopped the herb. Scraping the blade sideways across the cold marble chopping board her palm caught the neatly hashed fragrant plant and she tossed it into the slow simmering sauce.
She absentmindedly wiped her hands on the back of her jeans, flicking her hair behind her ear as she walked to the refrigerator, picking out the fresh vegetables and tuna steaks, her thoughts passing over their hurried phone call earlier in the day spurring Tina into the quick decision of the how she had wanted to make sure Bette had a nice relaxing evening, following her hectic day at work.
The phone call came from Bette as she was gulping down a quick sandwich before an urgently arranged board meeting, receiving the tender words of concern from her love as Tina whispered her support for the stressed woman, the promises of a relaxing evening and time spent together, making it all better as the rushed words of endearment ended the call.
Bette felt the stresses immediately lifted from her as the quite words from her partner floated through her ear, she momentarily halted the pacing in her office as she heard the blonde woman whispering that everything would be okay, that there was nothing to worry about and above all, how much she loved her.
As the conversation once again played through Tina’s mind, she was unaware that the front door had opened, her busy thoughts finding many subjects to cover while preparing their meal.
As Bette opened the door, she moved to put her bag and jacket on the chair, dropping her car keys silently onto the plump cushion. She turned slowly, seeing the busy blonde flitting from one worktop to another, the kitchen towel thrown over one shoulder as she aimlessly worked on the vegetables, completely engrossed in the task at hand and completely unaware that she was being intently studied.

Naked twister — for gods sake you have no shame woman – naked twister ?! i really have lead a sheltered life – but as always your writing leaves me in awe — i bow at my knee great imperial jedi FF writer ally xx
i wanna play twister! great chapter, so cute ;)
‘As the shower head sprinkled the steaming hot water over the entwined bodies the stove continued to bubble, the temperature continued to rise, continued to build as the simmering liquid began reducing and reducing, until the flavoursome concoction began to sizzle, to dry, to slowly burn…’ Somehow I don’t think this had anything to do with what was on the stove. OMG I can’t get enough of your writing. I wish you had all the time in the world to do nothing but write for us. Sorry it took me forever to put a real comment, but I was busy going back and forth between 2 message boards discussing the L Word convention this November. =D Oh, and I have no clue what movie was described here. =/
That was so beautifully written, and with an added slice of humour. Thanks.
Hey, Lamentamini, the movie is “The Green Mile”. Which is a great movie as is your writing Jo, I love it have read from the beginning and am bad at leaving comments. I hope you grace us with another chapter soon! :)
Well what can i say that i havnt already said about this chapter…and all the others before it….Touching, Romantic,Funny…..well…the thought of naked twister conjures up all sorts of thoughts..lol…but in the end all i can say is great trip down memory lane for them…and beautifully written as always…looking forward to more like this..
naked twister with some oil…come on Ally..spread your wings. ; ) Thanks for the wonderful update…
Such a great premise for a story and so beautifully executed. Your writing is exquisite and this story is just pushing all the right buttons! I really can’t wait for more, I adore your posts.
Perfect! Just perfect!
Perfection!
Sounds like a great first date to me, especially the ice cream. Hey ice cream and naked twister sounds fun!!!
Jo….amazing. It would be sheer delight to have someone speak to me the way you write. Pure pleasure. You writing just keeps getting better. What a treat for us!
I always wondered what happened after the initial meeting at the gallery. With your last two chapters you have brought the fictional characters of Bette and Tina into human terms. I am not sure if I am saying this right but you have shown us the inner workings of what took place. As a reader I get to experience their fear, gazes, their hunger, and the beginnings of a loving relationship. It helps to put their love into perspective so that us humans can understand. I have never played twister let alone naked twister. That gives me an incentive to learn quickly.
Jobadge that was great. Loved it.
it’s so nice when they are ‘happy in love’;great writing…looking forward to more ‘remember whens’…I always wanted to know what happened from when they met up until we met them…more soon please…
Amazing writing..it was perfect!
i think we should have another writers convention and all get together and play naked twister LOL…wonderful chapter, wonderful memories
How incredibly endearing…your imagery is crystal clear. so well done. twister these days would put me in traction.with either of the girls naked it would be cardiac arrest.sue
Heart failure just thinking of Naked Twister with those two. I loved this you have filled in a lot of what did happen after the Opening at the Gallery thanks
a good memories! i will think in play twister more often and maybe… why i didn’t think in that before???? absolutly lovely! happy weekend
Loved this chapter! All in one it was sexy,sensual,erotic,romantic,sweet, happy,humorous..and other names you can throw in there to describe this reader feelings. You manage to do this with each and every single chapter. It truely is amazing! Thanks again for continuing this fanabulous story! Post soon!
JB-I knew you what movie you were talking about before you even mentioned Mr. Jingles! Who didn’t cry at the end? I think the saddest part is the ending thinking about the prison guard (can’t remember his name) and Mr. Jingles living all those long added years after receiving the ‘John Coffey’ effect…having to watch all his loved ones die, and continue to live so much longer…him and Mr. Jingles…and if a mouse could live that much longer, how much longer would he live? How lonely he must have been. I so love this story, and I think B&T are both ready for a little naked twister now! LOL! Too funny about Tina forgetting to turn the stove down and burning up all the pans – how symbolic. Can’t wait for more!
wow! love those trip on memory lane, beautifully written, you feel all the emotions and depth of your character..well done as always..yup! naked twister sounds much better than strip poker.
1st brb
Ohhhh that was so sweet, very touching and f…… cute – I loved it, but I always do so no surprise there right!! The banter you’ve created between our girls is so spot-on and full of love and humour, it’s beautiful. I’ll not even comment on the naked twister thing, I’m sure you know what my thoughts are LOL. Your writing is so….uh I’m lost for words, but I’m sure this is the way Tibette’s first kiss and date really happened. So thanks for enlighten us where I.C. has not.
Wow, just awesome writing, Jo! Thanks.
see i told you–you don’t have to write just NC-17 chapters, that you would still have as many readers no matter what you write, because you are just that great of a writer. loved this chapter.
Hey JoB, That was delightful. I adore your teasing and romantic rememberings. Your has such a light yet deft touch in creating a magical moment in Bette and Tina’s lifs together. Never thought “The Green Mile” was a great date movie but just look how wrong I was. Capital punishment brought these two together. Their playful banter was awesome and honest. It is this openess that put you it a class of your own. I can’t wait to read the next memory. Thank you for this pleasure. Your Loyal Fan.
They are so cute and sweet, and can’t wait to see they play naked twister. post soon please, thanks!
