“She likes to push the boundaries where she can,” Tina said. “More than once I’ve heard the phrase ‘mom doesn’t make me eat that’.”
“Sorry,” Bette said. “Sometimes I’m too lenient with her. I just remember how much of a battle it used to be when I didn’t want to eat something.”
Tina took a seat in the armchair across from the sofa.
“The differences make her flexible. Maybe we’re raising a diplomat as a result.”
“Have you noticed how she negotiates too?” Bette asked. “She gets her way and makes me think it was my decision sometimes.”
“She can be devious,” Tina agreed. “But I’d rather chalk it up to superior intelligence instead of a tendency towards being manipulative.”
They spent some time extolling the virtues of their daughter before there was a lull in the conversation.
“Did you end up re-scheduling your date?” Tina asked.
“As a matter of fact…no,” Bette replied.
“You have had a busy week, if you haven’t even been able to do some schedule shuffling,” Tina said. She had a drink of mineral water and awaited Bette’s reply.
“I actually talked to her and explained that I didn’t think it would be best if we went out right now,” Bette said, as her hand absent-mindedly played with the base of the lamp that rested on the table beside her.
“Oh?”
Bette’s eyes met Tina’s gaze.
“I don’t think it’s realistic for me to date someone else if I’m going to be spending time with you,” Bette said.
Tina pursed her lips together to hide the smile.
“I’m happy to hear you’re willing to give it a try…dating me again, I mean,” Tina said. “It’s odd for me to feel awkward around you. It’s just like when we were first dating.”
“How come you sat on the chair instead of beside me?” Bette asked.
“Well, like you said, I was pretty relentless earlier in the week,” Tina replied. “You know what my intentions are, so I thought I should let you figure out how you were going to respond to that.”
“And if I invited you over?” Bette patted the couch and tilted her head slightly.
Tina took a long drink of her mineral water before she set it down and stood. Her feet felt rooted to the floor, but eventually she took the first step and made her way over. She tucked one leg under her as she moved to sit sideways on the couch, facing Bette.

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
