Lost & Found, Ch 11
But the look in Bette’s eyes, back in her office at the gallery, wouldn’t let this charade of thoughts continue…Tina hoped that her own eyes were not as revealing to Bette that evening as Bette’s had been to her. Or maybe she misinterpreted it…maybe Bette…maybe it was just her natural sensuality, her pensive state, her intensity…maybe that’s what Tina had seen in those dark and alluring eyes. Maybe all of this is a figment of her imagination or a byproduct of being a recent victim to love’s painful journeys. But, glancing once more over to Bette as she sees her smiling at one of Shane’s comments, Tina can’t…she just can’t ignore it…Bette’s friendship is a gift but Bette’s impact is enticing her heart and mind into a far more complicated feeling…a far more invasive engagement… ‘oh please don’t break my heart…please don’t…’ she thought to herself…)
EVANGELINE- “Well, ladies…Jeff…I am so pleased to meet you all and spend time with you. I hope we do again sometime!” (They all comment in return.) “Justine, come on, I take you home eh?” (Justine nods.) “Elizabeth…I love you and congratulations for a wonderful reception!” (She kisses Bette.) “Tomorrow, ok? I pass by maybe. Or Monday at the gallery. We talk about San Francisco.”
BETTE- “Ok.”
EVANGELINE- “Ciao everyone…bonsoir…” (They all say goodnight to Lia and Justine. They chat as Bette takes some things to the kitchen. Shane is engaging Tina in a conversation as the others continue their chat.)
ALICE- “Well, I guess we should go too. Dane, I’ll give you a lift. Bye guys.” (They get up and say goodbye.) “Bye Porter! Great night!” (Bette walks over and says goodbye to both and they leave. Bette chats with Jeff and Shane and Tina suddenly notice there’s not many people left.)
JEFF- “Hey, shall we call it a night?” (Tina nods.)
SHANE- “Great night Bette, thanks.” (She says goodbye to Bette and then to Tina as they all approach the door.)
TINA- “So tomorrow Shane…I’ll be waiting for your call.”
SHANE- “You got it. I should be done by 5, so I’ll give you a shout after that.” (She waves and leaves.)

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!
