She opened it just as they were coming up the walk.
“Hi Mom,” Angelica said. “Mommy said I didn’t need to put my bathing suit on until we got here, so I’m going to go change now.”
Angelica marched past her with her backpack slung over both shoulders and a rubber ducky gripped lightly in one hand.
“Okay sweetie,” Bette replied as she opened the door wider. She was one determined little girl.
Tina took another step inside as well, but didn’t quite know what to do as she passed Bette. Bette had left with some haste that morning, wanting to ensure that Angelica didn’t see that she was still there.
“Did you get a lot of writing done?” Tina asked as she set her bag on the floor and slipped off her shoes.
“I did, yes,” Bette replied. “The creative juices were really flowing. So to speak.”
Tina grinned in response.
“Have you perhaps tapped into a cure for writer’s block?” Tina asked.
“I believe further clinical trials may be necessary before I can reach that conclusion.”
“Do you have a research partner in mind?”
Bette brushed a tendril of blonde hair from Tina’s brow and tucked it behind her ear.
“We’ll talk more later,” Bette replied.
“We haven’t really talked at all,” Tina said quietly. “I know that wasn’t the plan but…”
“But we found something else to do that was a lot more fun, and it doesn’t mean we’re going to ignore what we know we need to do.”
The bedroom door opened and Angelica strutted out in her bathing suit.
“Ready,” she announced.
“You know you’re just going to be playing by the pool while we do some gardening,” Tina warned her.
“I know,” Angelica sighed and put her hands on her hips. “But I have to be ready to go in the pool when you two are done.”
They both struggled not to laugh at her mature wording, laced with impatience.
“You know you will lose pool privileges if you go in without our permission?” Bette asked.
“Yes Mom,” Angelica heard this speech every time they were about to go into the back yard. Even though she was a good swimmer, Bette’s thought was that it wasn’t possible to be too cautious around water.

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
