Bette held the door open to let Lara board the elevator first. “Uh huh, and I think I also gave you a few tips on meditation a few minutes later, because you were complaining about the high stress in the kitchen that night.”
Lara consulted the paper that had the code to the elevator that Aerin had given Bette earlier that evening, and that Lara had written down as Bette repeated it out to her while the brunette talked to their hostess and friend. This would allow them to bypass the other floors, and give them access to the penthouse level. She tapped on the “P” circle. “So, yeah, I’ll try to see things from Alice’s perspective tonight. Even if it kills me. And I guess this will be a good way to practice going to my happy place the way you taught me to!”
Lara shut her eyes now to imagine the time she’d been lying under the sun, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, relaxing in the bow of a magnificent 60-foot yacht that one of Bette’s bazillionare friends owned. He’d hired her away from the restaurant she’d been working in, at a rate that would have been equivalent to a year’s pay for Lara, to be the on-board chef of the yacht while he vacationed and did some work. Lara had been looking to leave the restaurant anyway, and the work on board the yacht turned out to be extremely light duty, since her employer had entertained only a few times the whole time she’d been on-board. So the whole assignment had felt like a pleasure-filled, luxurious three week holiday in the South of France to Lara. And the pleasure didn’t stop with the amenities of the yacht, as her employer had asked her to join him when he went ashore, in order to help him keep preying women at bay. He took her to dinners and parties in some of the fabled restaurants that dotted the coast that Lara had dreamt about eating in. He’d even taken her to enjoyable nights out in the casinos in Monte Carlo. Lara had met a lot of new people over the three-week span, and had even managed to meet and date a woman who’d been vacationing in Monaco. When given the chance, she also got to pitch her dream restaurant that she felt the lower Chelsea area of Manhattan lacked.

Dear Lord, woman. You just get better and better. That was the definition of sexy.
Yes, i agree , sexy, very sexy!
Alice, one loud and weird girl. She never was my favourite character. Kick her out of the car and let her get lost.
Thanks for the update!
The book is ending soon, and that was the lead-in or appetizer for the next chapter, which will s-s-s-sizzle! Am debating whether I wrap the book up then or break the ending into two chapters. What say you? If I end it in one, the last chapter will make for a longer read.
Btw: I was advised recently that maybe I should consider writing in other places. I tend to write what I would read, and I look for rhythm, style, flow, voice, nuance, etc. in what I read so aspire to that when I write. These may not be the same things others here look for when they read, hence the advice. Since it takes some work and time to write, in the first place, (time I don’t have much of), maybe the advice-giver is right: it may we’ll be true that my idiosyncratic approach is not a good fit for readers here. Which is fine, btw.
Meanwhile, thanks for the comments @ssgogo93 and @Bibi28 ! I hope you’ll like how the book ends.
Long reads never bother me, it just means more wine.
This site has a rich history of writers of all styles and skill levels. Your particular style is unique, polished, creative, and very entertaining. I’m assuming this is the first and only site you post your stories. The FanFiction lane is an excellent entree into the world of writing, as it has a built-in audience eager for more creative stories that revolve around their favorite characters. You’ve evolved well beyond that. You’ve created your own world of interesting characters, each very colorful, distinctive, and lovable. You’re very talented and you obviously have many stories to tell. While I’d hate to see you go, you should definitely continue writing and perhaps explore different forums to share your work. Whatever you decide, please don’t forget your peeps here and let us know where we can find more @Skydancer musings.
Sky dancer!
Please continue with Bette and Tina’s storey and a little insight as to what happened to the gold and their lives together. Arron and Harley need to become the love of each other again!
I’m a. Believer!
I see you Tibetter001! Thanks for believing :-)
The gold story; Aerin and Harley — they’re coming back soon.
Will give you a head’s up when,
Keep warm til then,

Hi S.
Completely ecstatic that you replied, in fact I was so thrilled with the love and affection these two women have for each other I have continued with poems as well as lyrics to songs once again. I’ve always had an amorous nature and I have been blessed with a wonderful women who appreciates the romantic side of me.
B & T need more children to love on. I am depending on your good sense and writing talent to make their futures long and productive!
In Florida now but will get back to the snow and cold of Toronto soon.
Stay well my friend,
You may end this story in short form or long. Up, down, or sideways. Just as long as it makes you comfortable. If you are comfortable, we get more creative imagination. More imagination the better the read, and with your talent you would entertain the idea of moving on. We will certainly miss you here. Your material is so very appropriate here, This site was always good for bigger discussions and better arguments about all things L word. And when no one could decide what the production staff writers were thinking some one else would write a better edition and appease the masses. If you leave here please remember you will always have a fan club!
Hello,
Thanks for your comment! I’m thinking of writing differently, after this one concludes. Not so public; more intimate; and delivered specifically for a reader or small group of readers. Like a handcrafted cocktail, done omikase-style, by a bartender whose style you like. The drink takes some time to craft, has many layers of taste and flavor, but you wait patiently for your bartender to fix your drink because you know that she has time to do only a few such cocktails in the bar you’re in, then she’s off to do other bars. You’ll have to tell her if you like the drink, of course.
Let me know if you want to be one of them (one of the readers, I mean. Although I fully support drinking a cocktail, a handcrafted, well-prepared one, while you read. And only if you don’t drive after, of course!)
‘Til then, take care!
S
Intriguing, carry on
