Angelica was soon splashing water around and bobbing over the surface.
They were still working their way around comfortable communication because of the circumstances of their separation, but each time did get admittedly easier.
”How’s Karen?” Bette asked. It hadn’t taken Tina long to realize Henry was merely an excuse to leave Bette. Tina dated selectively, and had been seeing Karen for a few months.
”We’re not really spending much time together these days,” Tina replied as she reached to keep Angelica within a certain radius of her position.
”You’d think I would have heard from Alice,” Bette said with a smile. She didn’t want to feel smug that a fulfilling personal relationship was eluding Tina, but she couldn’t help it.
”That was my assumption,” Tina replied with a shrug. ”Are you seeing anyone?”
”With trying to finish up my dissertation, working full time and making time for her,” Bette nodded in Angelica’s direction. ”I don’t think a relationship is very realistic.”
”Do you want the ball?” Tina asked as she saw Angelica struggle towards a brightly coloured ball floating in the corner of the pool.
”Yes, please,” she did her best to articulate the words.
”Why don’t you take advantage of the fact I’m here to watch her Bette,” Tina said. ”You can swim while we stay in the shallow end.”
”I think I will,” Bette replied as she stretched her body out to slice through the water.
Tina watched as Bette’s lean arms drew through the water with seemingly little effort. The sun reflected off the glistening skin of her back as the muscles obeyed her every command with a precise response.
”Fuck,” Tina whispered quietly.
”What mommy?”
Tina was brought from her reverie by her daughter’s words.
”Nothing sweetie,” Tina replied. ”Why don’t you sit on the steps in the shallow water and we’ll play with the ball while your mom swims?”
”Okay,” Angelica replied.
They all enjoyed the heat of the day, contrasted with the cool of the pool, each one lost in her thoughts.
*****************
Bette reached the end of the pool and went up the stairs to get her towel from the deck.
”Just about time to dry off,” Tina announced as she pushed the ball toward Angelica. Again, her gaze was trapped by the vision of the water running down Bette’s legs and gathering on the pool deck.

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.
