I Will Not Let You Fall
It was half past eleven when Sam popped into Tina’s office to find the blonde getting her jacket on and collecting her purse, if a bit in a nervous haste.
”Whoa, you’re leaving?” Sam questioned, eyeing the blonde quizzically.
”It’s lunch break, duh.”
Sam lifted her eyebrows. ”You don’t ever leave for lunch breaks. I was gonna ask you to come with me to the food tent.”
”Not today,” Tina said, hurriedly placing her phone into her purse.
”Are you having lunch with your heart surgeon?”
”She’s at work,” the blonde blurted out carelessly and walked toward the door where the other woman was standing in her way. ”Look, Sam, it’s not the time. I’ll join you at the food tent tomorrow,” Tina stated, letting her impatience show. She ignored Sam’s suspicious demeanor and gave her a half-sorry look before forcing her way out the door. Instructing her assistant to hold all her calls, the blonde left the building.
The nearer she got to the destination, the more anxious and excited she became to meet Bette. She was dying to see what person her ex-lover had become over the years, had she changed much, how she was holding up now and, more important, whether she still cared or not.
All the parking spots were taken at the entrance, so Tina had to park across the street. She climbed out of the car and was trying to cross the street when her eyes fell on a familiar lanky figure. Tina froze for a moment.
From across the street, Bette was leaning against a lamppost, casual, relaxed, as if she could wait forever, but at the same time she appeared deep in thought as she looked straight ahead motionlessly. She was wearing a gray pullover sweater, the sleeves rolled up, over a white T-shirt with its tail hanging out over her blue jeans, frazzled at the knees, white sneakers on her feet. A baseball cap was slung low on her dark-haired head, the brim covering half of her face.
Tina stared at the sight of the brunette. She didn’t remember Bette having a liking for this type of clothing. Tailored pant suits with button-down shirts, black most of the time, had been all she had preferred to wear in the past. Now it seemed that gone was the smart, austere attire in favor of far more casual clothing. Then it dawned on Tina that Bette’s state of mind might’ve had something to do with such change, the state of mind that was probably softer and more tranquil now than it had been ten years ago.

Great to see another chapter from you, thanks!
Ok, so Tina has long-term girl (thanks god she’s not Helena), but she’s not in love in her. It’s good. What’s not so good that her parents obviously like her girlfriend. And what’s bad – how Bette was cold during their meeting and how quickly she left. I just hope Bette will agree for next meeting with Tina.
So, waiting for the next!

Hi Valerie
Thank you for this wonderful chapter.
Wow, it was very easy to vanish the ten years of separation between them; after trying to move on and make their lives with other people, just one encounter and their hidden feelings came back, it couldn’t be different, their love was very intense, a love forever.
But if their love and life together ten years ago was hard due to Bette’s criminal life, and Tina’s fears and family situation; to pick up the pieces and glue them together now, won’t be easy.
Thanks, Valerie for this wonderful and interesting story and please post soon.

Thank goodness, Helena is gone. I’m glad Sam is just friends with Tina. I don’t think I would have been able to stomach them together. LOL. Bette seems a lot more sexier, with her more bruting and mysterious self. I’m siding with Bette right now. Thank you so much for the update. I’ve been looking multiple times a day, since your last update.

Geez so heart wrenching. Tina seems on the out side to have moved on with her life but on the inside she’s a mess..Shes still living the next day ten years back when Bette told her to never come back…nothing has changed for her. Bette was in a bad place when she said it but she really didn’t mean it. She just didn’t want to hurt Tina or bring shame to her by being in that place. She loved her enough to let her go. The love is still there now if they can just get out of their own way and talk., they will find their love again. Thank you very much enjoying your story.
