Letting Go – Chapter four
Bette’s eyebrows locked as her eyes were glued to the necklace, “A key?”
In the box was a silver necklace with a charm on it, a key. It wasn’t just any key that could open a front door, or a simple lock, or even a diary book. It was a truly unique key that was well designed. It stood about an inch and a half in height, and about half an inch in length. The cuts and curves of the key were well shaped; truly different from any key that could just be bought at a jewelry store.
“It’s stupid isn’t it,” Eric asked, as he assumed that Bette didn’t like the gift from her reaction.
“No…it’s…what is it for, why a key?” Bette’s mind was full of questions.
“I know it sounds cheesy, and it’s kind of embarrassing for a guy to say this, but…my heart…” Eric answered. Without trying to sound like too much of a sap, he continued, “Well, it’s because she’s so hard to shop for, I never know what to get her.”
Bette just stood there in shock her mind couldn’t be taken off the idea of “the key,” and Kelly was a little jealous, but she had nothing more than a crush on Eric, so she jumped into the conversation.
“Aww…that’s so sweet Eric, I bet she’ll love it!”
Eric realized the time he had spent chatting, and figured it was time to go to his table to find Tina. “Thanks for the opinion ladies, I’d better going now. Tina should be out any minute. I’ll see you later Kelly, and Bette, it was nice meeting you.”
The three exchanged goodbyes and watched as Eric left to get seated.
“Sweet isn’t it?” Kelly said after they watched Eric leave.
“Yeah, sweet…”
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Tina was making her way to the restroom, and during her walk, she realized the scent again.
‘It’s that same scent from the library. Who or what is it…‘
As she reached the restroom, Tina was beginning to feel guilty. She’s out with Eric, the man that deeply loves her, and would want nothing more than to spend the rest of his life with her, trying to make her happy, but she felt nothing, nothing close to love for him.
For the last two years, she wanted to end the relationship, but she couldn’t bare to do so. Her sisters constantly told her that Eric wouldn’t and couldn’t truly be happy if she didn’t end things with him. She would be holding him back, Tina’s sisters were right, but no matter how hard Tina wanted to, she didn’t have the courage to break up with Eric.
Tina’s mind and body continued to focus on that scent, she was addicted, she wanted more, she was drowning in it, and she didn’t want to be saved. It was like a drug she couldn’t get enough of. She couldn’t shake it out of her head. Her strong reaction to something so strange and unfamiliar was scaring her. Yet, her heart rate increased and it beat like never before, never like this, not even for Eric.
‘I have to break up with Eric. I can’t continue to lead him on like this. I just can’t…‘
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Those feelings Bette first felt two days ago were back, and they became stronger than ever, especially after Eric showed her the key. Bette didn’t know what to make of her feelings. After all, it’s not like that key belonged to her, and it’s not like she was even the slightest bit interested in Eric.
‘What is this… ?’ Bette tried to figure out what those feelings were. She was getting anxious and she couldn’t help but tell herself ‘That key is mine…‘
Little did Bette know, her heart was unconsciously opening up, and she was becoming vulnerable; to something she didn’t even know. She would welcome this journey with open arms, and no matter how difficult things got or how much her heart may hurt, she wouldn’t turn back, she couldn’t.

Very nice update Smile. I truely love it. Can´t wait for more to come…post soon. We do want our girls talking.
Nice chapter…although I had some problems following it so I had to read it a few times. I guess I just have to get used to your flashback signs…maybe you could write flashback…you know I’m not very smart. LOL! I personally love the sweet and romantic stories the best…but to keep readers really hooked to your story, you could mix little (i.e., small amounts) drama into this. Of course your the master so you do what you want and I will happily continue reading your story….but since you asked, I gave you my opinion. Kiitos!
Damn this is good and can’t wait to see what’s next. Post soon, thanks!
oooOOOOoooo, I get it. A different charm, I thought that Bette got it back, then when you said charm, I thought Tina was wearing Bette’s charm around her neck. D’oh! HAha, this story is great, and yes I WILL continue reading! Please post again soon!
