“I do actually,” Bette replied. “I’m enjoying the evening. I’m not even going to do any reading tonight.”
“How are you managing working and finishing your dissertation?” Tina asked. “I know how stressed you used to get when you were just working, and while it might not be my place, I worry about you.”
“I’ve learned to relax a bit more than I used to,” Bette replied. “I’m also better at delegating responsibility. And I guess ultimately I realized there are things that are much more important than anything involving work.”
“I really enjoyed kissing you this afternoon,” Tina said. It was stated as fact, such that it was hard for Bette to read where Tina was hoping such a statement might lead. “It’s just as well there were other people there, because I…didn’t want you to stop.”
“I’m not quite sure how I should respond to that,” Bette replied.
“Well I was thinking on the way home,” Tina started. “I broke up with Karen three months ago with the intention of pursuing a relationship with you.”
Bette was surprised at the admission, and her silence encouraged Tina to continue with her explanation.
“I’ve had a lot of time to get accustomed to the idea of being with you as more than a friend,” Tina said. “To the point that it just feels right to me again.”
“You’ve been contemplating this for a while,” Bette acknowledged.
“And I realized I have to give you more time, and the assurances that I’m here to stay, before you can accept me back into your life,” Tina concluded. “I’m not going anywhere. I know what I want. I want you and me and Angelica to live together as a family. And I wanted you to know this isn’t a whim. I’m planning my future. Our future. Together.”
Bette was briefly without the words to respond to Tina’s speech.
“I appreciate that you are letting me know this,” Bette finally managed. “Because from my perspective, your interest became apparent only yesterday. And you’ll forgive me if that seemed a bit sudden.”
“That’s exactly my point,” Tina replied. “I loved you from the moment I saw you. And even with everything that’s happened between us, that love never stopped. But my ability to trust you has been challenged. I’ve dealt with that, but now I realize I have to address the fact that you no longer trust me.”

Oh my God!
I am so happy that you are back!
I love your stories, i read them more than once over the years.
But i don’t have time to reread this story, have to work very early in the morning , but i hope to read it when i am back tomorrow. I am looking forward to it!
You are a incredible writer and i do hope that you will find the time to write more! For now, thank you again for returning!
I was so happy to see your name again, I love your stories, off to read now,, but please continue to post more stories.,, please post soon.
Thanks for the shoutout! You’re an incredible writer with a natural style that pulls the reader in and makes one sorry when the chapter/story ends. Your writing demands rereading many times. It’s just that enjoyable. :-)
Brilliant, thanks so much for this. 62 Pages of pleasure.
Enjoy your stories which are good to read more than once.
Look forward to keeping on swimming :-)
I love this story, as I always enjoy reading your work!
Loved it, thanks so much. You are such a good writer!
Glad you are back,I love your stories.
I certainly remember this story and I love it more now. Thanks for updating the language so the profane language is present. It’s not that I am a complete potty mouth but let’s be realistic. Several of the stories that have transferred over have blanks or asterisks instead of the actual language. In my opinion, when this happens, the stories lose some of their authenticity and the characters lose their edge. I realize that it takes effort to fill in the blanks especially in longer stories. So thanks for doing that.
I find stories harder to read with the asterisks inserted…it’s like a jolt of reality interfering with my escapism. I had to get to the task of editing them out. I do plan to work on more stories; some easier than others because of where the files are. This story was first posted almost 10 (!) years ago, so the digital file was more challenging to retrieve. I’m not much for cursing, but the occasional well placed F-bomb can really get someone’s attention.
@JKS I can’t believe this story is almost 10 years old! It reads now as fresh as it did then. I really love your stories because they are so well written with realism, humor, sarcasm and authenticity. It also helps that for us ORs (Original Readers), it follows canon for the characters and storylines. :-)
WOW, what a fabulous surprise seeing you back here, JKS! So glad you found your way back here and have even edited! Let me know if you have any questions or need any help!
Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing again!
Thanks for your effort of editing and for giving us this wonderful story again.
It’s still as beautiful as I remember it from reading your story for the first time a few years ago.
Finally I managed to finish reading!
I was slowly reading this story.
And I confess that it was a great trip.
Pretty and wonderful.!
And to think that have passed since the 10 years, but
It remains very current.
The entire universe.
Don’t remember seeing this before and it was wonderful, took me back a ways. So great to have you back giving us something to read from you. Wish other former writers would come back to us, all of you are valued and missed greatly. So many of the stories are not completed, would be so nice if they were. Again welcome back, looking forward to more. Thanks.
Loved this! I love your writing. I’m so glad I’ve come across your stories, be it years later but better late than never lol
