BETTE- (Looking at Tina and formulating some sort of smile…) “Date?” (It’s about the only word she has said to Tina since the gang arrived…)
TINA- (Surveying the dark eyes quickly…) “She’s sweet. Jeff…” (Bette’s eyes follow the blonde’s movements…)
JEFF- “Ready to go. Bette, thank you. I hope to come by for the private tour soon. I’m really sorry I couldn’t make it tonight, but it sounds like it was great and this get-together was wonderful.”
BETTE- “Not a problem, anytime.” (As she’s greeting Jeff goodbye, Tina disavowed her of any notion that after Jeff began to exit Tina would be then left standing in front of her for a goodbye. Instead, as Bette was finishing shaking hands with Jeff, Tina just waived goodbye and backed out the doorway as Jeff followed. Bette closed the door. She made no stops on the way to grab a glass of liquor and then headed for her perch near the pool. She sat there looking at the handset of the phone she had taken with her. She was trying to think of women she knew, with whom she had enjoyed a good time in the past, who would love to get a call from Bette Porter, even at this late hour. Damned if she could think of one right now…at least no one who would oblige her… ‘what am I thinking!’ How could she be sitting here actually thinking of calling someone so she could get out of this house and spend the night in just anyone’s arms? ‘I’m not this frustrated am I? This is stupid,’ she muttered to herself. She put the phone down and laid back in the chair… ‘good job Porter…it was a success. So much to be happy for.’ She closed her eyes. And then she opened them… ‘Damn it…’ She stands up and makes a b-line for the living room. She grabs a jacket and her keys…out the door…into the Saab…and an almost angry ride to the shore.
Bette walks into a wall of wind and sound of the ocean waves smashing the shore…and her spirit revels in it…the release, the energy that overwhelms her own as almost nothing else can…and the small bits of peace that start to invade her inner sanctum… she breathes deeply as she traverses the sandy shore and encounters more walls of intermittent wind and roaring waves that sooth her agitated mind by the sheer force of their reverberations. ‘Katie, wherever you are, I hope you’re happy…I hope you found love and I sure as hec hope you’re causing no one pain. As for me…I wish you were here to explain it to me again…lecture me about what I did to you…the bad and the good…mostly good as I recall…remind me how to do the good without the bad, like you told me once… ‘Bette don’t crush that heart of mine that’s so hopelessly in your hands’….what about MY heart? Who’s going to hold it?’)

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!
