TINA- “No no no…it’s ok…totally ok. I appreciate it…you’re sweet and I’m speaking in enigmatic and nonsensical phrases and I…well…it’s all so…I’m sorry….it was so easy to talk to you the other night and sometimes I feel compelled to unburden my soul…it’s odd…but…you know… I feel like I know you or…”
BETTE- “What?”
TINA- “I’m meant to know you…like there’s a reason…”
BETTE- (An anxiety triggers whatever words she could muster…she chuckles and smiles to lighten the discussion…) “Oh now, don’t get all heavy on me all of a sudden…you’re doing the right thing…you’re searching and in that search, as Lia said, you’ll be finding an awful lot. We all do. And some of us, like you, are so lucky that you find people like me!” (She chuckles but Tina just smiles a bit…) “So, at least you know you’re on the right track. I mean look at me…you thought YOU were lost…nah…I’ve been mulling over the stupidest things these days, feeling like I’m not going anywhere and trying to move forward….and then…here you are….maybe I’m meant to meet you too. But it’s all part of the adventure. Who knows what’s in store or what all these people and landmarks on the journey mean or what is meant to happen…it just is…and I guess we just take it…take life, all of its grand and not so grand events, people and gestures, as it comes.” (Bette’s words sounded kind of off topic to the blonde. Tina almost felt disappointed, like Bette’s words were comforting on the one hand, but deflating something growing inside her…Bette seemed to discount, without even knowing it, the uncertain yet burgeoning thoughts in Tina that were trying to make sense of this ‘chance’ meeting in life between her and this woman, this intense and beautiful woman who only weeks ago was unknown to her and a half a world away.)
TINA- “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” (She looks out to the ocean.)
BETTE- (She’s not sure why she’s not happy just now. Suddenly she doesn’t feel as hopeful as she mysteriously did before…just a sinking and fearful feeling of having lost something…a moment of possibility had seemed suddenly to have gone even before she appreciated its presence…) “Do you still love her?” (‘Oh no…what am I saying,’ Bette quickly thought…too late…)

Merl this was an awesome update! Something about this line just popped out from the page —- “Bette, when you are engaged in the search of life you can never be lost…you seek and you will find…your heart, your soul, your life. When you’ve stopped looking, when you sit there and move nowhere, when you look around and just let life find you…then, you are lost…” I think if there is one small little “life lesson” if you will, it is just a profound piece right there. Thank you for that lovely shout out. I am very much aware at how meaningful the personal shout outs and opening author’s notes are to the readers. I’ll warn ya though, once you start them, they come to be expected!!!! LOL! Thanks so much for the update Merl, post soon won’t you??? ;-))
Ah crap, I hate when that happens. That “I love you, you like me” thing. But it probably is more rare that the feeling is mutual. It take it that with B & T they will eventually discover the feeling IS mutual.
love the dialog but what “recalcitrant” means? i was too lazy to check my dictionary…and don’t worry, my next chapter is coming and it’s hot and sexy…i think LOL
“Man I hope you’re straight…a quick though painful end for my heart to bear…” – number of times I’ve felt this = countless!thanks for the quick update!
Absolutely love this story. I liked shane being protective of Justine and asserting herself when she corrected the pronunciation of her name, loved it. and, well, your slow dance with B & T is enthralling. you could feel Tina just tripping over every word and Bette having small heart attacks at the thought of what Tina really meant! Please post soon, I’m hooked and I need my fix.
So gooooood to read..>Thank you, very much!
So Bette already knows that feeling of loving someone and they not loving you. So Tina and Bette do share something, the case loving someone who does not love them. I think this time that situation will not be an issue. This story is probably closer to a real life situation than most of the stories. You get the real feeling that they are scared to get to know the other. Tina’s feelings sound so real to me (maybe because I have been there).
THIS IS SO GREAT!
I´m glad Justine has Shane as a friend and that S hopefully looks out for her a bit. I think Tina should go to the gala and maybe B+T will realize that they already found each other, they just don´t know it yet. And don´t worry I will keep on reading, this story is too good to miss.
Merlin if i knew the answer, i would tell you. There’s a reason that your the writer and i’m the reader. Now 4 pages where getting somewhere. That was great as aways. I think tina needs to listen to her gut feeling and not with your head, she knows she likes bette, why not take the chance. Love is a fantastic feeling and let the girls find it the merlin way.Thank you just don’t keep me waiting to long
Hey there, i forgot to mention, i’ll take my hat off to anyone that attempts to write a story and for that i thank you!!!!!!!!! thank you
T, it’s not how many words you use, it how they are conveyed. You my dear do an amazing job and I can’t get enough of this story. Thanks for the update.
