"Act without thinking, you mean?"
Teresa looked down at the floor. How was it that Tina could know her so well in such a short period of time. She blew out a puff of air and once more made eye contact with the inquiring blonde,
"Yes. My life has been quite planned…Distractions aren’t at all commonplace."
"So, I’m a distraction?"
"No, that’s not what I mean. This is not at all coming out right."
Tina smiled, "Breathe, Teresa. Just talk to me."
"I am so incredibly attracted to you, Tina. But… my life is complicated and I don’t know if I can give up everything I’ve worked so hard for."
"Who said you’d have to give it up? I wouldn’t ask that of you."
"I know you wouldn’t, but…"
"Teresa, this process of self-discovery isn’t easy. I know what it’s like to have your entire world turned upside down – I went through it, too. And I can appreciate that you have a career and being with a woman might complicate that, but…can you honestly walk away from this, whatever it is? That kiss…My God, Teresa that kiss was…"
"I know." The brunette confirmed in a hushed tone.
Tina took a few tentative steps forward, "You need time to figure this out. I get that. And I’m happy to be along side you every step of the way. If I need to be your friend first, that’s okay. I’ll wait, Teresa. Because the only other option at this point is for me to turn around and walk away and I can’t do that. I care for you, so much so I can hardly understand it myself. But…Whatever time you need however long it takes – Let me be a friend."
Tina’s promise of friendship was heartfelt, but the blonde knew in her heart that being friends with the Superintendent would never be enough.
"Spend the day with me – as friends, okay? We’ll get rid of Alice and we’ll go do something fun – go for a run or to a museum."
"I would love that, but…"
"Don’t tell me you have to work."
"I don’t have to work, no…but I have some errands to run…I’m watching my niece and nephew tonight."
"So you’re babysitting, then?"
"Yes."
"Not running away?"
"Not running. No."
"Good."
For a moment, neither of them said anything, they just looked at each other and smiled. Teresa lifted her hand slightly in an effort to reach out to the blonde, but stopped herself, choosing instead to fold her arms across her chest. The blonde noted the defensive posture but chose not to acknowledge it. Instead, she busied herself with the coffee as her cautious friend looked on.
Teresa watched in silence, replaying the conversation in her head. The blonde was willing to wait for her. She couldn’t remember the last time anyone had made such an offer. To know that Tina cared enough for her to put aside her own feelings was revelatory. But it also brought about Teresa’s own troubled introspection. Was Teresa, her self, even capable of loving another person wholly? As confusing as it was that the object of her affection was a woman, the concept of having an actual relationship was even more puzzling. You do not spend a lifetime of compartmentalizing feelings and emotions only to let them free at a moment’s notice, no matter how beautiful or accepting the requesting person was. The idea of having a life outside of work was scary enough, but nowhere near as scary as the actuality of having one and fucking it all up. Like her father had. Like Jarek had. It wasn’t so much about trusting Tina as it was about trusting herself.

I knew there was a reason you were on my fav authors list… ;-)
Thanks for the new chapter early :) I am loving how this story is working it’s self out. How they are taking their time.
Thank you for posting. I love the pace at which this is unfolding, it’s perfect.
Awesome – you have really taken this story in a fantastic direction. Thanks for posting again.
Great chapter! This is a very difficult thing for Teresa, I hope she takes her time and think about it. Tina too, it’s hard enough being a cop’s wife. Imagine being the wife of the Superintendent. That’s a lot.
So good. I love how they are trying to work out their issues within themselves before starting a full fledge relationship.
so Tina is patient and all but what about us – do you expect patience from us as well. I mean frankly I can’t wait any longer – help us out here.
This is certainly the most unique story on the site, expertly told, a delight to read and captivating your readers.
Thanks so much for thinking of us and not letting us wait until next week, we appreciate it so much. Great chapter too. Now they both have something to think about and Teresa has to figure out if she can have it all. Somehow I think she will decide that to know that the possibility exists and she could have a love and understanding like no other in her life with a beautiful and spectacular woman that would make all others pale into insignificance will give her quite a lot to think about. Love this story. Thanks for posting.
You described their feelings with surgical precision. Thanks for posting.
A bonus round! And much-appreciated!
Sooo good.Thank you for the update.PPS
Damn this is so good and love it, hope they will talk more and get to know each other and be with each other. Please post more, thanks!
Don’t be silly Teresa, who wouldn’t love Tina? PPS
The plot thickens! Friends 1st huh? I hue it a week of cold showers before Tina &Bette jump each other (lol). I definitely don’t agree that Alice’s interruption was a good thing, but it’s good that Teresa was able to cut loose and relax for at least one night. PPS!
Thank you for the story scaf!!! :D PPS
Thank you for posting again so soon. I hope Teresa doesn’t take too long to process, because I’m getting anxious. PPS!!
Whoa scaf…. Thanks for posting – especially when it’s during holiday! :-) and back to the story… I feel sorry for TC somehow… “..The idea of having a life outside of work was scary..” OMG! so sad!! Luckily she meet Tina!! :-) now is time to let her live her real life to the fullest! ;-) PPS? Thanks! :-)
What a delightful surprise to open up this site and find you had posted once more. Yeah!!!! Ditto, azmama’s words and I look forward to your next post when you have time and inspiration.
perfect! Can’t wait to read more
You are my hero. I love this story and I am so happy you posted another chapter. You made my day. So good.
Soo good! Thank you for taking the time to post again for us. Wonderful job and, in spite of sounding selfish, please post again soon. Really love seeing how this story is playing out.
You’re so talented!!!! I love this story!!! wow!!!!! Keep it up.
Hi scaf, I think that Theresa is making tentative steps here. Not quite out of the closet but more like opening up and accepting that she fall in love and have an adult relationship with another person. Yes, it is messy however the benefits of feeling alive and in love far outweigh a life lived alone. Tina was so supprtive and honest with her,. I do hope that this pair continue forward. A mesmerizing read. Many thanks and hop eto read more real soon. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
This story is just so awesome. Thank you so can’t get enough of it.
