Let’s give this another try, shall we?
She felt Bette grip at her fingers as she caressed her. She used a knee behind her hand to penetrate further while Bette reached with her free hand to provide the same pleasure.
They soon lay in a tangle of sheets and perspiration as they attempted to regain their breath.
“God was it always this good?” Tina finally was able to summon the ability to speak a complete sentence.
“If it was I think I must have blocked it out,” Bette managed. “Okay now we should go put some blankets on the couch.”
“I can’t move,” Tina barely raised her head to utter the words.
“You’re on top of me, you’re going to have to move,” Bette replied. “Unless you want to…” Her sentence drifted off as she rose her eyebrows and winked.
Tina made a show of rolling off of her and back onto the bed.
“I definitely can’t do that! Would you go take care of the couch?” she pleaded, with eyes wide, and lip out in a pout.
“Oh God, don’t pull that with me!” Bette said as she got up. “I’ll do it but we do have to get up. It’s almost seven and she won’t be asleep forever.”
“Just five more minutes,” Tina pulled the sheet back over her. “My brain is soaking in hormones right now; I need a little time.”
Bette smirked to herself as she pulled on some jeans, letting her eyes wander over the expanse of skin that was still visible as Tina tucked her head under a pillow. She picked up the bedding that had fallen to the floor and made her way to the living room.
***********
“We’re both so proud of you sweetie,” Bette finished the toast and raised her glass. “Congratulations.”
Angelica set her newly framed degree on the dining room table.
“What kind of wine mom?”
“It’s a 2003 Barolo,” Tina replied. “We bought the bottle the week you were born.”
“Oh my God, you know what that reminds me of?” Angelica laughed as she tasted of the wine. “When you and Mom were getting back together and didn’t think I knew what was going on! You must have thought I was an idiot.”
“What are you talking about?” Bette asked innocently.
“Please, give me some credit,” Angelica replied, rolling her eyes at Bette. It was a very Tina thing for her to do. She then turned to Tina. “Don’t you deny it either. I have a memory you know.”
“You knew?” Tina said sheepishly.
“Hello? All senses in tact…including hearing,” Angelica said. “You could have kept it down a little you know. It scarred me for life I’m sure. You thought you were being so sneaky. As if.”
“Well what do you think of that,” Bette asked Tina rhetorically.
“It makes me think we shouldn’t have waited eight months for me to move back in,” Tina replied. “‘For the sake of the child’.” She used air quotes for effect as she spoke.
“Actually, it was good I was around,” Angelica observed. “I think you would have rushed it again otherwise. You felt you had to put up the façade of not being together and it gave you a chance to talk things out.”
“I’m sorry, I thought we paid for an art history degree, not a psychology degree,” Bette pretended to look at the contents of the frame by tilting it up.
“How’d you get so damn smart?” Tina hugged their daughter close, silently shocked at how she grew up so quickly.
“I was lucky enough to have two parents who loved me, regardless of where they were in their relationship,” Angelica replied. “And I’m happy you decided to work things out. I know it wasn’t easy.”
“We’re glad too sweetie,” Bette replied. She stepped forward to be part of the circle.
They all hugged in the dining room of the house they continued to share, almost 16 years to the day after planting the grape vine that would come to symbolize their reconciliation as a family.

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. :-)

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. :-)
Jacky says

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.
