Out of Closet (B&T time-travel romance), Ch. 13
“What’s wrong?” Elizabeth asked with concern in her voice, “Are you not feeling well?”
“No, I’m fine, I just…um…got dizzy suddenly, you know, it’s so hot in here. I just need fresh air…to breathe, to cool off, and I’ll be just fine,” Alicia quickly moved out of the closet and went outside, passing by Elizabeth without saying one more word.
Elizabeth went after her and found Alicia nervously smoking outside. When she saw Elizabeth coming out of the house, she tried to hide it but knew that she was unsuccessful and just threw the cigarette away.
‘Why is she so nervous?’ Elizabeth thought with worry as she walked towards Alicia. “It’s okay, Alicia, you don’t have to stop smoking…I mean, I was shocked before but you know how it is here? I heard that for working women it is normal to smoke cigarettes. It’s just in a ‘decent society’ it is frowned upon. So don’t stop on my account, but let me ask you this, why are you so nervous and uneasy? Did something happen?”
“No, it’s nothing…just nothing,” Alicia answered but her hands were shaking contradictory to her answer. “I think a little fresh air will do me good, I’m already feeling better.”
“Well, if it is fresh air you are looking for, then why don’t you join me and Christina for horseback riding?” Elizabeth asked, still feeling concerned about Alicia.
“Okay, why not? I told you before it’s not my thing but I think it will do me good, let me go and change. Can I borrow some of your horseback riding attire?” Without waiting for Elizabeth’s answer Alicia went back to the house and came out ten minutes later, wearing Elizabeth’s long riding skirt, white blouse and long satin gloves.
Elizabeth went to change as well and soon they were on their way to Christina’s house. They were riding really slowly, engaged in a small talk about arts, the upcoming art festival, Katie and her marriage, or the latest gossip that Alicia has plenty to share. Christina and Elizabeth knew that their important talk would have to wait. They needed to be alone for that, even though Alicia was well aware of their feelings and their dilemma.

Hey B&TF, you know how much I love this story and I’m always waiting patiently for an update. Now with this revelation you’re going to have to hurry up and post soon because this is getting good by the second. Somehow I missed this story when you first posted so I have no idea of what is yet to come. So please, don’t leave us waiting too long! xx
OMG ! OMG ! OMG ! Great chapter !!!!!!! Can’t wait for more ! This is so exciting !
Finally Bette is here and she and Tina are meet. Alice is funny but thanks her for saving Bette. I still thinking that peoples try to kill Bette and Christina is Christina’s husban. Please post soon, thanks!
The blast of light where Elizabeth and Alicia were standing, was that someone being shot or the two of them disappearing into the future? Okay, I have lost my brain and can’t seem to find it.
I feel so silly because I got so weapped up in what was happening that my heart was pounding. I still am so impressed at your skill in weaving all of the threads together.
Once upon a time, a friend and I bought an antebellum house that was barely standing (It had a swimming pool on the property with antique mosaic tile we were interested in… crazy story… let’s just say we where young and had crazy ideas, lol)… Anyway! I wish I had paid more attention to the closets than that pool, LOL! I just love how you’ve brought Elizabeth through the closet to the twenty-first century!!! I’m all about a touch of elegance from the past within a wardrobe *wink*
i woke up this morning to the thought of the ride back when elizabeth was shot and remembered that its sunday and there should be another chapter… so imagine the smile when i saw that indeed there was one and longer that the last one too :) thank you for a great story cant wait for the next chapter…
LMAO at Sunkissed’s comment, ‘I wish I had paid more attention to the closets than that pool”… LOL! Anyway, B&TF, that was just WOW!!! That chapter was amazing! So tense and filled with the triggers of emotion, and angst, and fear, and confusion, and most of all anticipation for more!… I had thought that they would meet through the phone (with a 21st century’s Elizabeth) or through a telepathic experience.. But, no… Bette/Elizabeth is finally here! They are finally together, well at least into the same dimension. I’m guessing that it will take a little more time for them to properly meet, but I’m delighted already that we (you) had them see each other for the first time… Now, I’m really curious about this mystery about Elizabeth’s death, which was in fact Christina’s?… Anyhow, that was a great turn of events, certainly created by a brillant mind! Kuddos to you, and can’t wait for more! Thanks and PPS! K ;)
Wow amazing story, you got me all excited there, I can’t wait until they meet, and begin their journey together. Thanks T&B, you are truly great. Love
Yay, finally they have met.. sort of! Thanks for the update, can’t wait for more.
Wow B&TF, you are full of surprises. I thought that Bette and Tina would meet as people in present day, but you have Elizabeth time travelling forward. This is great and really intriguing. This is really a good story and I hope you update again soon!
