(The evening moved along. The friends enjoyed each other’s company and regaled one another with stories of the reception, filling in Tina and Jeff. Bette was quietly taking in the sight of her friends. She stole watchful glances of Tina now and then and wondered what was going through her mind. Bette struggled to forget…just forget it…erase the awkward moment they had shared and chalk it up to odd moments of inconsequential value, especially within a lifetime of what she hoped would be friendship, though she didn’t know whether their paths were destined to intertwine, platonically or otherwise, in the years to come. She thought that since she didn’t get much further than putting their wine glasses on the counter and not really saying anything, that she didn’t have to worry about any lasting issues or things that should have been left unsaid…not much was really spoken, though she worried how much her eyes may have revealed to the blonde. For her part, she didn’t know what, if anything, the blonde had been holding back or what she would have said if the gang hadn’t showed up at all.
Tina was enjoying hearing Alice and Lia share their stories as she sat, safely between Jeff and Justine. But the safety of controlled proximity was tenuous and breached throughout the evening by Tina’s continuing awareness of where Bette was and how she looked in those moments when Tina dared to gaze at her. She wondered what Bette was thinking, what Bette was about to say to her before Lia and company joined them.
Tina thought many things to herself…Maybe she was over thinking things…maybe Bette was just concerned to see her in deep thought and was just going to ask her to share what was on her mind…but how could she? How could she possibly share the craziness occupying her mind? It was incomprehensible to her as it was…she didn’t know what to think, let alone share it. Bette seemed familiar to her, in the time she had gotten to know her…so quickly…so easily…she felt so engaged and so at peace with her…she seemed to relax her, yet all at once unravel her…what was this? Why, why…why is this happening again? Was this her new heart break in the making? The second woman in her life to ever do this to her? What a wonderful friend Bette was and could be to her. Why is the promise of something so great now threatened…why did the confusion of her history have to resurrect and rob her of a decent friend? Did it have to? Is this what it is? Another foray into a love she could not understand, could not escape from, yet could not have? ‘Just let it go…let it go,’ she thought to herself…why complicate things? Just pretend the earlier moments in the kitchen didn’t happen. Bette’s just tired and her intensity just made Tina uncomfortable…that’s all…this didn’t have to be anything more…

T, that was a great chapter! I wasn’t sure just what your Author’s Notes meant (a little lengthy BTW)LOL, but once I read the chapter, I realized just what you were referencing. It’s good to know that I am not the ONLY Chicki in the world! ROFLMAOOOOOOO!!!! You sure had me grinning! Thanks and Post Soon!
I’m glad they finally made it past all the past girlfriends (and the other party guests) to get together (at last). I think given the late hour that Tina should stay there until the morning (at least).
You out did yourself..my heart was palpatating. It was beautiful. Is this the end or the beginning?
Beautiful. I loved the dialogue between Bette and Tina – funny, yet touching.
Hello…thanks to the small crew that’s still hanging in there with this story! Seems you brave few are diminishing! Should I have put an “R” rating on it? :) I just don’t do R/NC17 stuff too well, so I tend not to travel that road too often. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you all for reading and commenting. I hope you have enjoyed this story. I think that this chapter could work as a fitting end to this story, so since the cycle of “lost and found” was closed in this installment, I think this will conclude the Merlin tales…at least for now. I don’t know what, if anything, is next, but I hope that if I continue, whether through this story or another, and whenever that may happen, that you will join me again. Cheers everyone. Thanks so much for all your support.
**sigh** (long peaceful pause) just wow, really, really wonderful, felt every word, just think I’m gonna sit here and wallow in it for awhile, don’t mind me…
So sweet. That was lovely, Merlin… but don’t end it there!! Of course I’ll be reading, regardless of rating. Thanks for the post.
So sweeeeeet! :) Thank you a lot, darling! So mature and and also so adolescent ;)
I was just saying in the last chaptert that I wished Tina would stop running. Glad to see it happen so soon. Great post T.
Man I am so far behind. I am on vacation and not near a internet connection most of the time. I finally was able to catch up with the last two chapters. It seems that both women have been terribly hurt but yet can not seem to stay away from each other. That is what love and companionship can do to someone. The yearning that is able to jump start one into going after the the one that he/she wants. They say that it is better to have loved then it is to never have loved. Whatever is true both are very painful.
That was awesome and love it. Please post more, thanks!
