“Where is it?”
“Where is what?” Bette leaned against the counter so she could see Tina.
“The piece she’s working on?”
“Oh, it’s on the roof of her loft apartment downtown.”
“Oh.” Tina sat back down on the couch, noticing that it was still a little wet from her clothes. “Sorry about your couch.”
“You already apologized.”
“No, I mean for getting it wet.” Tina said, cursing herself for how suggestive that sounded. “I guess I should apologize for our impromptu pool party last night too if we kept you up.”
“Yeah, who’s bright idea was that?” Bette said with a bit of a smirk. “Let me guess. Alice?”
Tina breathed a chuckle. “Actually, Alice didn’t even join us. Shane was the mastermind behind that one.”
Bette smiled, knowing she could never be mad at Shane.
“Did you know she used to have sex in our pool?” Tina inquired while simultaneously chastising herself for using the possessive pronoun so naturally.
“Somehow, that doesn’t surprise me.” Bette rolled her eyes at her reckless friend and grabbed three coffee cups from the cabinet.
The coffee maker beeped indicating that it was ready for serving just as the old pipes in the house squealed signaling the shower had been turned off. Tina’s heart started pounding, knowing that at any moment, Jodi would be joining them.
Bette pulled the creamer out of the fridge and set it on the countertop. “You still take it with just cream, right?”
“Yeah,” Tina replied as she stood up and walked to the kitchen with the awareness that her time alone with Bette was in jeopardy. The steaming liquid was poured in all three cups and Tina chose which one was hers before doctoring it up. “You wouldn’t happen to have a to go cup, would you?” She asked quietly.
The brunette looked at her with a furrowed brow. “You don’t have to leave right now, T.”
At the sound of the familiar consonant, Tina closed her eyes and drew in a deep, unsteady breath. Bette observed Tina’s nonverbal response and swallowed hard. “This is awkward, Bette.” Tina whispered.
“You don’t have to whisper,” said Bette in an even tone and taking a sip of her own coffee. She picked up the third mug and began walking back toward the bathroom.

Very nice story; it has been a very long time since I read a new post of the events in TLW, thanks for bringing it back, I wish you would write more frequently. Is there any possibility for you to continue ‘Playing By Heart’? that is also a great story, pity that it is unfinished. Thank you si much for posting I really enjoyed this one.
A very nice story. Thanks for the reminder of a great series and some wonderful scenes.
Can I add a plea for you to continue with “Playing by Heart” Please. Even if this is not possible please post again soon.
Great story! It is great to read about Tina’s thoughts and how she came to the conclusions that Bette is not in love with Jodi and how they still fail at communication.
And most important that she decided to go after Bette.
Like the others i would like to see a update from “Playing by Heart ”
I really appreciate this short stories, thank you for posting them!
Great read. I’ve missed your story telling. Glad you posted. Thanks
Thank you so much for filling out, this gap in history.
All Stars .
Thank you so much for this post, I can`t wait for more ,please post soon.
Thanks for the new story, I, too share the sentiment of the other readers hoping you will continue with the story “Playing By Heart”. Please come back soon!
Happy to read this post and as others have said, would really like to see more of “Playing by Heart” thank you. Hope they will start talking to each other more and not “at” one another. And if Bette would just admit to herseld how she really feels about Tina then the rest will fall into place as it should. Thanks for the post.
Hey ladies! Rather than reply to each of your comments, I figured I would just leave a general comment thanking you all for reading this one and for your resounding encouragement to finish Playing By Heart.
Would you be mad if I told you I have three more chapters written and they have been waiting in the vault until I was done with the entire story? Yes, I have been holding out on you, but I have been updating and revising the original story to reflect up-to-date technology and fix some grammatical and mechanical errors. It’s taken me over a year to do this, like I said in my author’s note above, writing and proofing is difficult with three jobs to keep me busy and very little time for a social life (let alone a love life, but that’s not important right now).
I’m taking a page from some of the other older writers and am going to re-post the entire story in one book that way you can easily find it all in one place.
I appreciate all the encouragement and the demand is overwhelming. I’m very touched that the story means so much to you. Although there is a bit of pressure to make sure it’s a worthwhile ending. Hopefully it won’t disappoint.
Hugs and kisses to you all,
MeLL
“she truly did want Bette to be happy; that it’s what you do when you love someone – you let them go, even if it’s at the expense of your own happiness”
Certainly one of the most painful yet true thing…
At least, we all know that Tina will be able to break this curse and get her beloved Bette again.
An other painful yet true thing : fanfictions can really be a solace for those who will never have this kind of chance in their lives…
Reading your note, here, from two years ago, I’m truly grateful to be there right now, discovering your stories so many years after I thought I lost the old site forever…
Life is such a rainbow of mixed emotions, it’s quite fascinating.
So you found some of my old stories, eh? Thanks for giving them a read! It’s always nice to see new readers dust off these old posts and bring them back to my attention. Hope you enjoyed this one!!
