(Jeff walks into the kitchen.)
JEFF- “Hey there…you’re not in bed yet?”
TINA- “Hmm? No…no I’m not. Restless I guess. Jeff…I gotta go out for a bit, can I take your car again?”
JEFF- “Now? Tina, it’s late, it’s really late…I don’t think…”
TINA- “JEFF! Please…I need to do something…”
JEFF- “Hey…relax…just tell me where you’re going…I’m not gonna stop you but at this time of night…you gotta tell me…can’t it wait? Why don’t you let me drive you?”
TINA- “No, I have to…I want to be alone. Please…I’ll be fine…I’ll be an hour, tops.”
JEFF- “Will you call me please?”
TINA- “It’s late, I’m not gonna call you, you should be asleep by then…”
JEFF- “Call me. How far are you going anyway?”
TINA- “10 minutes away…”
JEFF- “Oh. Ok. Keys are on the counter.” (Tina goes to leave…) “Tina…” (She looks at him…) “You call me if you need anything, ok?”
TINA- (She smiles…) “It’s ok…I’m fine…I just have to set things straight…ok? It’s just too complicated…I gotta just clear the air…” (she looks at him and gives in a bit…) “I’ll call to let you know how long I’ll be, but right now, I should be back within the hour. I don’t think this’ll take long. Just gotta get it off my chest.”
JEFF- “You sure you don’t want to just let it ride, until morning maybe, give you a chance to sleep on it…” (She shakes her head…) “Ok. Be careful.”
TINA- “I will. Goodnight.” (She leaves.)
(‘I must be crazy,’ Tina thought to herself as she drove. She wondered what she’d say, what she’d do. Was she really any more clear on things than a few hours ago? No…but she didn’t need all the answers right now…just a little bit of truth to set her free…well, at least enough to relieve her of this ‘stuff’…she could worry about the rest later…but she knew she just couldn’t agonize like this and she didn’t feel right…and she felt impatient…and…while this wasn’t the most rational move in the middle of the night…well, who cares, she probably already made a fool of herself in any case. She finally got there and parked just out front. She got out and walked to the front door and breathed…that’s about all she could do. ‘Oh my God, what am I doing here?’ she whispered to herself. Tina looked around… ‘the Saab is gone! Oh for pete’s sake…she’s off with a girlfriend and I’m here ready to make an ass of myself…’ Tina deflates. She’s overwhelmed by both relief and sadness… the Saab’s owner is probably in someone’s arms right now and she’s here on her doorstep, like a lost puppy… ‘damn it Kennard…’ She moves back from the door and sits on the front steps. It’s quite, so quiet she feels and hears herself with an amplification she doesn’t appreciate right now. She rests her head in her hands, closes her eyes and ponders her fate…tonight, tomorrow…her mind sees darkness and listens for the unmistakable sound of her weary heartbeat…as she sits alone, waiting for enlightenment.

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!
amazing fiction!
