Just The Girl 2.0 – Chapter Fifteen (based loosely on HYD: Returns)
A chime pulled Tina out of her reverie. With a groan, she lifted her head and stared at the screen. Gazing at the source of the sound, hazel eyes went wide. Despite telling herself to remain calm, she couldn’t help the sudden increase in heart rate that she experienced when her inbox reloaded and a new email came in. It was an email alert from Facebook, the only social networking site that she still religiously visited. She had damned Twitter to hell a few days ago. Dammit, she cursed herself for having forgotten that she had configured her account in such a way that an email would be sent to her every time a certain someone updated her profile.
The link was staring at her – taunting her mercilessly.
To click or not to click.. that is the question.
CLIIIIIICCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!! Her heart shouted. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Her mind objected. CLIIIIICCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!! Her curiosity shrieked. NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Her resolve yelled. CLIIIICCCCCCKKK!!! Her finger screamed.
CLIIIIICCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!! Every cell inside her seemed to shout. So.. she did. With lightning movements and before she could even regret it, her finger tapped the link, causing another window to pop out, bringing her straight to Bette Porter’s private Facebook profile.
Changing tires was tiresome without you, was the heiress’ current status.
And despite wanting to close her lids, Tina’s hazel eyes opened wide and took in the image that was right under her status message.
It seems that Bette had updated her page from her mobile.
Created a new photo album, uploaded a picture. Yes, just one. But it was enough to make Tina cover her quivering lips and cry-smile like her father did at the airport.
My Precious TiBette, was the title of the album. And the caption under the picture contained these precious lines: Needs new tires, a working radio and maybe even a fresh battery; but in my eyes, its imperfections pale against its deep abiding strength and timeless beauty. Granted, it needs a few more work.. some tweaking.. a little more loving, but in time, it will be even better and stronger than before. It is the envy of all, but it only fits two. You belong to me, and me to you. <3 Trust. (One week and three days to go).

Damn number one and number two on her list. Maybe she should stick to number three from now on?

I did a little happy dance when I saw your post! I have to say the chapters were a little short…LMAO! Such a gut wrenching time for B & T. Beautifully written!

Thank you Alchy for such a wonderful and long read! You did a great job of weaving the scenes together. I love the Tina-Ken teasing, Bette – Sonja “recovery/addiction” moment, 3-step recovery for Tina, Sam/Bette’s conversation and the Tibette car. So very, very, very clever!!!! Ok…I sense that “Keith Arden” is somehow connected to a certain “Kate Arden.” Hm…looks like a black cloud on the Tibette reunion horizon. But…I cling to the hope that Ken’s almost secret sharing of perhaps an engagement is in the future. You know that small ray of hope is what is bringing your readers back!!!!! Get some rest Alchy…get your creative juices a break but come back real soon…we need our Alchy fix!

Your story always satisfies, Alchemy. You get some of everything in here, and it’s all fab. I loved this chapter. Here’s hoping that Tina can stick to #3 on her list, and I hope Bette can do the same. Great, great update, Alchemy. Thank you! :)

Brilliant chapter Alchemy – you always take such care with detail, emotion, characterization – amazing ;-) As someone said abt the previous chapter – one thing Bette still needs to learn is how to take Tina off that pedestal and treat her like an equal. Relationships mean sharing – both good things and bad – IMO that’s the biggest repair they need, the only truly important one. I loved seeing Tina & Ken again – what a great father daughter dynamic they have. I see Tina is still eating her pain, haha! The flashback was great and so was the bittersweet ending.

That was awesome, love seeing Ken and Tina together again.
