Provocations Linger- chapter 1
A voice from Tina’s cell reminded her she was still on the phone. Excusing herself from Bette for a moment, Tina’s eyes remained on her as she returned to her call.
“I’m sorry Sam, a friend caught me by surprise and I missed most of that,” she admitted.
Her caller excused her, agreeing to talk to Tina in the morning after she arrived in NY. Tina ended the call still looking at Bette.
The brunette was ridiculously beautiful, as always. She was wearing a black, off the shoulder sweater and white Capri pants, perfect for a long flight, while still simple and elegant for whatever lay ahead in NYC.
Aware that she was staring, Tina acknowledged it, “You look great, Bette. It’s good to see you.”
Bette experienced a small amount relief at Tina’s seemingly genuine comment. She murmured her thanks and then, more audibly told Tina that she looked beautiful too and that it was wonderful to see her.
A loudspeaker called for boarding:
“American Airlines flight 5 servicing passengers non-stop from Los Angeles to New York’s LaGuardia Airport is now boarding at Gate 30. Our first class passengers and those who feel they need a bit more time are invited to board at this time.”
Exchanging an uneasy glance, Bette broke the silence. “Looks like we are going to get out tonight after all.” Her smile was a little off. Tina recognized Bette’s anxiousness.
“Are you in first class?” Bette asked, praying she was.
“3-A,” Tina smiled lifting her boarding coupon for Bette to see.
“1-A,” Bette smiled back.
Tina nodded, not sure what to say. She wasn’t at all sure she wanted to invite Bette to sit next to her on the all night flight but also thought it would feel more than strange to sit two rows apart for 2500 miles.
“Why don’t we board and see how crowded first class is?” Tina reasoned, “If it’s not too full we can…”
“Move back and forth, depending…” Bette agreed.
“…on what we’re doing. I’ll need to get some sleep but we could have dinner together.” Tina expounded.
“You’ll be able to sleep? Ugh. You’re lucky. I can’t do it. I get all screwed up on these flights.” The tall brunette made a face, pretending to work a large kink out of her back.
Tina smiled at her sympathetically then shrugged.
“I like the redeye, it’s usually a quiet flight and I can pretend I don’t lose a work day on either end.’ She held Bette’s eye adding quietly, “I catch it a couple times a month.’
Bette understood that Tina was telling her something about her life and filed it away.
“Let’s board and get our luggage settled.” Tina suggested again.
She couldn’t believe Bette was standing in front of her. Bette.
“Fuck.” Tina uttered in amazement.
Bette laughed in spite of the tension, and nodded her agreement.
“Yep.”

Intensely sad ending to their relationship. I do hope this is a new beginning OR are they both re-attached?? That would be too sad. PPS.
