“There’s a place around the corner I went with my mother. It’s a bar really, but they have food and a band,” Tina said.
“A straight bar?”
“Well, yeah.”
Bette shrugged. It wasn’t her first choice, but if it was Ok with Tina, it would be Ok with her too tonight.
The bar was crowded and loud and Bette knew right away she wasn’t going to stay long. Getting a table was a dream, so they sat at the bar.
When the bartender arrived Bette turned to Tina, “Margarita?” she asked, expecting Tina to order one of her favorites. Instead, Tina greeted the word with an involuntary shudder thanks to the memory of too many of Mary’s margaritas just a few days earlier.
“Uh, no, thanks.”
“Really?”
Tina waved her hand dismissively. “Too many with my mother. I’ll have a light beer.”
Bette shrugged. “Ok, me too.”
Conversation was difficult thanks to the volume of the music so they only exchanged a few words here and there. They ordered some food but both of them ate lightly.
Suddenly the bartender appeared with fresh beers.
“We didn’t order those,” Bette said.
“I know,” the bartender smiled and pointed behind them. “Courtesy of the gentlemen at the table under the mirror.”
They both turned to see two men seated at a table for four who smiled and waved. Tina’s mouth opened slightly in surprise and amusement, but Bette muttered “*****” as she turned back toward the bar.
Tina took out her wallet and left money on the bar for their bill. Then she picked up a beer in each hand and said to Bette, “Come on.”
“T?”
But Tina was already heading, with her slight limp, toward the table. Bette stared after her for a moment until Tina turned again and said more forcefully, “Come on.”
As Bette watched, Tina placed the beers on the table and said with a smile,
“Thanks, but you should keep ‘em guys. The night’s still young and you might get lucky.” Then she turned and took Bette’s hand and led her toward the exit.
Tina was laughing as they burst out onto the sidewalk. Bette was still in awe.

Thanks for continuing this story. It is one of my very favorites.
I guess I should be glad you don’t post more often, else I’d get hyperbolic anxiety trying to suppress my slavish praise.
I guess I should be glad. But I’m not!
Love this story.
It’s a fave of mine also. So glad you are back.
Eek – the format! Sorry folks, I’ll try to fix it asap.
Glad you’re continuing!!!

Beautiful chapter, I hope you continue and SOON.
If I could I’d free you from all the writer’s blocks you feel
Give you courage because your writing is so real
Yes, I would, if I could. (Dont’ hurt me, Regina)
Your imagery is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. That scene in the pool was stunning!
Thanks for adding another beautiful chapter. Please post soon… :p
Hello Massmom: It is such a treat to see this wonderful story back up for all of us who has missed it dearly. I loved how they ended their night in that calming and sensual water. “Desert Hearts.” Ah yes one of my favorites. I am hoping that we will soon see another update. Excellent as always.
This is wonderful!
Ahhh. Every chapter a gift. Always miss you when you’re gone, always appreciate it when you’re back. Thanks so much for continuing.
AHhh Massmom, my heart strings are being tugged so hard right now. The way you tell them is so moving. I love how Tina is leading in her halting way and how Bette is following. You get the feeling the Bette would follow Tina anywhere. Thanks for this chapter I know how writing this can be such an effort. It is so appreciated here. Thanks
Great to have you back! this is a great update….thank you
I think I’m going to have to see Desert Hearts again because I missed the reference. If I had to guess, it would be Tina returning the beers to the guys??? It’s been a long time since I’ve drooled over the desert women….
Glad you were able to write this chapter. The emotions are raw and true. You are able to take the characters we all know, put them in a place we don’t know, and we still recognize these women because your portrayal is so authentic! Yeah Massmom!
I missed you and this story. I’m not a writer but I do understand the concept of writer’s block. Hope you’ve been able to over come it b/c I’d love to see where this story goes.
Bittersweet. Good though. I missed your posts. I hope you’ll be able to post again soon.
I am so glad you decided to come back to this story. I was wondering what ever happened to this story. Please continue…..great job with this chapter, the emotions are very real.
i hope you know how missed you are when you are not around. this continues to be one of my favorite stories out there and i always look forward to reading more.
