“Did you think you were going to be able to do whatever you wanted and I would simply take you back?”
“You’re not the only one who’s always gotten her way, Bette,” Tina replied. “But whatever future we have together is going to be with us as equals. I’ve found a footing that I didn’t have before. And I finally like who I am again.”
“I like who you are again too Tina,” Bette replied. “But I need more than that.”
“I’m more patient than you think,” Tina said. “And I also know things about you that no one else is privy to…”
“Like what?” Bette was intrigued.
Tina settled into the big wing chair in her home office. She might not be an artist but she had an element of creativity about her.
“I know your favourite vacation was when we spent three weeks drinking and eating our way across Italy, punctuating our trip with museum tours,” Tina laughed. “I didn’t think I was going to be able to get you home.”
“But you reminded me of why we should come back,” Bette reminisced. “You said as enjoyable as it was to make love all over Italy, nothing quite compared to the comfort we have at home.”
“It was a beautiful trip,” Tina smiled. Bette had recalled exactly what she had hoped about that holiday. Why did some phrases stick themselves verbatim into a person’s memory?
“Yes it was,” Bette agreed. “You do know how to bring certain memories alive don’t you. I’m not sure that’s very fair.”
“All’s fair in love and war,” Tina laughed. “And in case you’re wondering, it’s love I’m talking about.”
The easy conversation flowed into the night, marked by happy memories of their time together. When they finally disconnected the call, they both had smiles on their faces, and Tina held on to the renewed hope that more happy memories were yet to be made.
Chapter 6
”Bette, there’s something up front for you,” Tara, Bette’s assistant, had called mid-morning to inform her of the delivery. ”I would have had him bring it to your office but I knew you were in a meeting.”
”I’ll be right there,” Bette said, as she slipped her glasses off and set them on the desk.

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
