The message ended.
Bette was nothing but relieved at the cancellation. Now she could spend the night at home relaxing. She put the juice back into the fridge and instead pulled a bottle of cabernet sauvignon from the rack on the counter. She poured herself a generous glass and went back into the living room. She picked up the portable phone on her way, and sat down on the end of the couch.
She hesitated only for a moment before dialling Tina’s number.
“Hello?” Tina answered.
“Thanks for everything today,” Bette said.
“You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re thanking me and not cursing me.”
“Why would I curse you? Some beautiful memories came back to me over the course of the day.”
“Sometimes I’m still not sure how you’ll react when you’re not necessarily the one in control,” Tina finally said.
“You are in control, I will admit that,” Bette said.
“So I’m succeeding in my efforts to woo you?”
“You have my attention. How about that?”
“Good,” Tina didn’t want to press too hard.
“Are you busy?” Bette took a sip of her wine right after she asked the question.
“I just walked in the door. Are you having a drink?”
“Glass of Yellow Label,” Bette said.
“I thought you had a date?”
“Cancelled.”
“Well I’m not going to lie and say I’m sorry to hear that,” Tina said. “But how come?”
“She got caught in San Francisco and couldn’t make it here until later than originally planned.”
“Oh,” Tina was disappointed that Bette didn’t have a hand in the demise of date night.
“But…I had a pretty emotional day, so it’s just as well,” Bette said. “If it’s okay, I’d just as soon talk with you for a while before I make myself a bite and turn in early.”
“I’d like that,” Tina replied. “A lot.”
“Where’s Angelica?”
“She crashed as soon as I got her in the house,” Tina said. “If you don’t mind I think I’ll pour myself a glass of wine as well.”
Tina set the phone down to attend to the small errand.
She retrieved the phone and walked into her living room, sitting with one leg tucked underneath her.
“Did you enjoy lunch?” Tina asked.
“Of course. Delectable as usual. And the flower was a nice touch.”

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
