“Angelica loves it, so while I don’t swim for exercise as much as I used to, we’re out there almost every day she’s here with me,” Bette replied.
“The custody arrangement seems to be working well,” Tina offered.
“While she’s young, going back and forth a week at a time does seem to be the best solution,” Bette agreed. “It really allows me to focus on required school work during off weeks, and I’m less likely to procrastinate because she doesn’t really let me have a schedule when she’s here.”
“She does like to be attended to,” Tina laughed at the understatement.
“You’re enjoying working at the studio?” Bette asked.
“Yes, so much. Helena has given me a lot of decision making powers, even though she’s still very much part of everyday operations,” Tina said. “She’s been a good friend too. Especially lately.”
“She really has mellowed since my first interaction with her,” Bette said reluctantly. She knew Helena had a big role to play in calming the waters she had stirred up with the ill-advised attempt to gain sole custody of Angelica.
“You’ve mellowed too Bette,” Tina hesitated to state the obvious.
A silence descended upon them again before Tina worked up the nerve to speak.
“Are we going to talk about earlier?” Tina asked.
“We’re so good at ignoring our feelings, I think we should do that until it all explodes,” Bette said dryly.
“Always masterful with a sarcastic barb,” Tina replied. “I’m serious Bette. I think we should talk about what happened.”
“We almost kissed,” Bette said. “But we didn’t. And even if we did, we’ve kissed before and nothing’s come of it.”
“Bette you know it’s different now,” Tina said quietly. “And I know I was feeling like I wanted to do a lot more than kiss you this afternoon.”
“You don’t think we can share a kiss and have that be all that happens?”
“I’m only speaking for myself,” Tina said. “I don’t know where you are.”
“Move a little closer,” Bette patted the surface of the couch beside her as she encouraged Tina to alter her position.
“I don’t think I should,” Tina balked at the invitation, unsure of what Bette was hoping to demonstrate.
“Come on Tee, please?” Bette’s voice took on an air of innocence.

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
