The elevator bell jolted Bette from her reverie.
“Goddamnit,” she said aloud as the doors opened to the main lobby of the gallery. She walked briskly toward Tara’s desk and was greeted by a familiar scent.
‘I must be losing my mind. That can’t be,’ Bette thought to herself.
“New perfume?” Bette asked as she breezed by Tara’s desk.
“Actually, I just realized there were perfume strips on the edge of my desk. It’s a beautiful perfume though. I just don’t know what it is.”
“I do,” Bette said. “Could you hold my calls for about 15 minutes?”
“Sure.”
She picked up one of the perfume strips and walked purposefully to her office. She placed her purse in the top drawer of her desk before picking up the phone and dialling Tina’s cell number.
“Good morning,” Tina answered. She noted the caller ID before taking the call.
“You are relentless,” Bette started. “Did you leave the perfume strips this morning or last night?”
“I’m glad you’re appreciating all my hard work!” Tina laughed. “But I told you…”
“I know, ‘all’s fair in love and war’,” Bette finished Tina’s sentence. “Just one question though… How did you manage to change the elevator music in my building?”
“You’re kidding?”
“Not kidding,” Bette replied.
“Well, I guess the Gods are on my side, because I had nothing to do with that one.”
“And just how much did that dedication cost you? We have a child to put through college you know.”
“Good news there, I donated two escorted visits to an in production movie set for the radio station to auction off at their annual fundraiser.”
“Can I expect more surprises over the course of the day?” Bette asked.
“Count on it.”
“Care to offer any hints?”
“Now that would take away some of the fun, wouldn’t it?” Tina replied mischievously.
“I have a low tolerance level for surprises,” Bette commented dryly.
“No surprises. Just…” Tina considered her next word very carefully. “Reminders.”
“If you know me so well, I’m sure you know where my mind has been for approximately the last 30 minutes,” Bette said quietly.
“I hope you’ve been thinking about the day we spent in Malibu,” Tina replied with a smile. “Followed by the night we spent together.”

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
