Tina rolled her eyes once she was left standing alone in the kitchen. She leaned back against the counter and blew into her cup, contemplating throwing some ice cubes in it so she could drink it quicker and be that much closer to vacating the premises.
Hoping Jodi would feel the vibration, Bette knocked on the bathroom door before turning the knob and opening it slowly so as not to scare her. Standing in front of the mirror, brushing her hair and wearing just a towel, Jodi’s attention was drawn to the door. She smiled as she saw the mug of coffee Bette was handing her.
‘Thank you,’ Jodi signed.
“You’re welcome.” Bette signed back and said aloud. “Are you sure you can’t stay for a little while?”
‘I need to get back to my loft. Last night’s dancing got the creative juices flowing.’ Jodi eyed Bette as she signed. ‘I wish I could have been dancing with you. That would’ve gotten other juices flowing.’
Bette blushed and gave a nervous chuckle. Without speaking, she signed back to Jodi, ‘then stay and we’ll see what we can do about those juices.’
Jodi grinned impishly before pointing to her phone. ‘Tom’s already on his way to come pick me up.’
“I could’ve taken you home.” Bette found her voice again.
‘It’s fine,’ Jodi answered as she picked up her coffee and squeezed by Bette to return to the bedroom to get dressed.
From the kitchen, Tina could only hear soft murmurs from Bette but couldn’t make out exactly what she was saying to her girlfriend. Soon, she heard footsteps coming back down the hallway to the kitchen.
Knowing it was just a matter of time before she would have to face Jodi, Tina made up her mind to leave. Taking one last sip of her coffee, she set the cup down and made her way back to the living room.
She passed Bette in the middle of the kitchen who was focused on retrieving her own coffee mug.
“Tell Jodi thank you for, you know, bringing me back here to crash.”
Bette noticed that Tina barely touched her coffee.
She only nodded her head as Tina gathered her things to make her hasty exit.
“I’ll see you when you pick up Angelica.”

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!!
