Reunion
Story written on December 11, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
"What time again?" Alice asked
"Seven o’clock," Tina replied. "Shane said she’d come as well, but you know how that often turns out."
"Remind me who Shane is again?" Bette asked.
"She lives in my building," Tina replied. "We kept running into each other in the hallway and then I saw her at the Planet a few times and we got to be friends."
"The Planet? Seriously?" Bette said. "That’s my sister’s place."
"Kit’s your sister?" Alice asked.
"Everyone knows Kit," Bette laughed. "She’s the straight hub of the lesbian community in West Hollywood."
"See, we would have re-connected eventually with all the commonalities we seem to share," Tina observed.
"She’s the only scientist I’ve ever met who’s so flaky when it comes to fate," Alice rolled her eyes. "Has she been giving you her theories on destiny?"
"As a matter of fact, yes she has," Bette confirmed. "But I admit, her point of view is starting to gain some traction with me."
"Winning another convert over to the dark side, I see," Alice glanced sideways at Tina as they approached her car.
"Mock me if you will," Tina replied. "But I’m not likely to be swayed given the fact that I’m dating the woman I’ve always thought was the one for me."
Bette smiled to herself in a self congratulatory fashion. Admissions of love and affection in the heat of the moment such as they had shared were one thing. But when you start speaking of those expectations with your friends, it implies a new level of emotional commitment. She started to wonder at what she could do to match Tina’s declarative statements about having found the person you expected to spend your life with.
They placed their bags in the trunk of Alice’s car and were soon on their way to Bette’s.
*********
"Spending the first part of winter in a cooler climate makes it seem so warm tonight," Tina noted. "And I find it very relaxing here. I love your yard."
They were seated on the long bench on Bette’s patio enjoying their evening tea.
"I know we’re spending Christmas eve with your parents, but otherwise you might as well stay here, rather than stumble over Alice once they’re gone," Bette said. "We’re going to have a long enough stretch of time apart, it would be nice to enjoy some togetherness while we can."

Just loving this story. Perfect advice to tell loved ones that they are loved while you can.
It’s the end? :(( That was a great story, I can’t believe Tina bought a ring too hahaha, also on another note, how is it possible that Bette wore the ring onboard and Tina didn’t notice? hahaha oh well, either way, this was great, thanks jks! :)
Happy wall watching everyone 🎅🎄🎁 thank you swimmie!
this is the right ending!.. thanks.
Are you kidding, the end! Oh Swimmie, no. We don’t want it to end yet. Can we get a sequel at some point, pretty please? Wonderful story, Swimmie. Loved it. Thanks for sharing.
The END…OMG??? Well, I guess it couldn’t last forever. I have to say though, you’re writing is the best. Thanks so much for this story. I loved and am hoping for an epi. Pretty please…if not, can I please request you come back with another B&T tale? :) Thanks and Merry Christmas!
A Merry Christmas to you, JKS! Loved the story, thank you. So nice to have a happy ending.
Merry/Happy _____ to all! What a sweet story — looks like you stopped before anyone bumped into any walls. Thanks so much and best wishes to you and yours for the holiday season.
Wow, that end came up too soon. Thanks for a great story! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope you come back with another story soon!
simply perfect
JKS, I’m not ready yet for this story to end. But I am consoled by the thought that another fine fic fom you will soon be in the offing. I hope this couple have not acted in haste. I believe that it generally takes 6 months for the masks to descend and reality to portend. Well, since 20 years after freshman year would make them 38-39 or so, I should assume they know themselves well enough to toss caution and mortgages to the wind! You could revisit them after their crash course in matrimony and let us know what developed. Two, dare I say it, spinsters might find cohabitating a challenge. Thanks. Me and my kin prefer “Merry Christmas!” to one and all …!
“I bought you a ring for Christmas,” Bette said… “Wow” is right ;)
Wonderful story
Sweet ending to a lovely tale. Thank you, jks, and Happy Christmas/Hanukkah/wall-avoidance to you! Cheers :)
The end ?Too early for me but thank you for a beautiful story.Please continue writing and happy holidays for you.
What? There is something wrong I think with the format. Thank you for this lovely story.
I loved how you ended the story. It really was the only way to do it. Don’t disappear too soon.
Thanks for another great chapter and a sweet ending. I like it that some stories don’t always have to have intense drama in them. This was a delightful story.
Wonderful and enjoyed every word. Thank you
Merry Christmas Swimmie! Thanks for giving us this sweet story and hopefully there will be many more stories next year.
Great story, thank you.

May be you’ll consider returning with a sequel sometime?
