Reunion
Story written on October 28, 2012 by justkeepswimming.
Previously:
I pull a business card from my purse and make my way over to the woman who looked so familiar to me as my morning commute began. Because of course, I now recall who she is.
"Tina, I didn’t recognize you at first," Bette said. "The next stop is mine, but I wanted to make sure we could get in touch again."
"Wow…Bette," Tina started, taking the card that was offered.
"Call me at the office this morning if you have time," Bette said as the train slowed. "I’d love to see you again. Catch up."
"I definitely will," Tina offered with a genuine smile.
I grab my umbrella from where I had been seated, give her a wink across the few rows that now separate us, and depart with just a bit more of a spring in my step than when the day started.
Chapter 2
‘Who is she?’ Tina thought to herself.
The woman who had gotten on the subway shortly after she did looked so familiar.
‘Maybe I’ve just seen her on this train, and that’s why I think I know her,’ Tina tried to justify her recognition as an every day coincidence.
Tina couldn’t tell for sure, because of her position a few rows back, but shortly after the woman boarded, she appeared to fall asleep.
The rest of the trip into the city centre was unremarkable, and while she tried to determine where she might know the woman from, it was impossible to get a better look at her when all she saw was her dark hair falling over raincoat covered shoulders above the seat back. She eventually resigned herself to not being able to figure it out and went back to reading the article she had printed off before leaving her apartment.
She wasn’t far from her stop when she detected movement out of the corner of her eye. She quickly realized the woman in question was standing in the aisle, immediately to her left.
"Tina, I didn’t recognize you at first," Bette said. "The next stop is mine, but I wanted to make sure we could get in touch again."

“I’m happy as long as you didn’t just call your home number and pretend to leave a message for Bette,” Alice said. – That my friend was LAUGH OUT LOUD FUNNY!!! I’m actually glad the first chapter was a fantasy, otherwise it felt too easy for me. If they are going to get together they need to work for it! :-) Thanks!!

Hi, jks! =) It’s been a while. Anyway, the Tina in this chapter is starkly different from the confident and playful Tina in Bette’s vivid daydream. Can Tina’s academic mind conjure up a similar fantasy or will this fantasy only play out in Bette’s very fertile imagination? (How long was that train ride, btw? It’s amazing how a simple smile from someone she didn’t recognize at first opened a floodgate of detailed, step-by-step fantasy. And it happened early in the morning, on her way to work. Bette’s subconscious is simply amazing!) Will the fantasy clash with the present reality of their lives? I wonder if anything will come out of this chance encounter, of this fleeting moment. If they can make something out of the little sparks that flew from their brief, fleeting encounters ages ago. Will their attraction to each other last this time around? The first chapter could have worked as a stand-alone post but you definitely have plenty of options on where to take this story. You’re on a roll, jks. Thanks a lot for this treat and write on please! Good health and inner peace, jks. Cheers! =)

I think they need to meet for some dim sum after Bette gives her a museum tour… : ) So glad you are writing swimingly. I hope this East Coast storm is giving you time to write!

No phone tags. Just a early afternoon coffee. Tina cant have dinner she has Alice so lets see how it goes. I like this very much thanks
teegirl says
Nice. I hope they don’t end up playing phone tag. ..although that could be interesting. Maybe they can meet later for lunch or maybe Bette can invite her to the museum…so many possibilities.

I wonder how much progress will have been made by the time Tina meets up with Alice? Thanks for the post, jks. :)

I like this story, great job
Dainty says
Great update. A very interesting turn of events with Alice being in town and we discover that Tina is insecure for some reason, and a procrastinator. Well, let’s make sure that she answers the phone when Bette calls back. I wonder if she will do more to find out things about Bette before she sees Alice again. Hopefully Alice will do it for her since she might not do it for herself. Can hardly wait. thanks for posting.

Well since everyone else’s comments are seeds 😄 allow mine to be the ho, oops 😧😕 uh I meant hoe. You know, the tool (in this case metaphorical) used to cultivate the land (your pages) in order to plant these seeds 😁 Okay, so now it’s up to Bette, well maybe she would be caught up at work and not have time to check her messages. Dragging this out, I know. Well some lesbians love drama. That’s my contribution. Can’t wait to read the next installment. Thanks 🐠
lodeerca says
A Bette and Tina beginning maybe? And with an interesting twist! Great!
azmama says
I love Alice being the wing (wo)man for Tina. We know that Tina crushed on Bette in college. What did Bette think of Tina? Why didn’t she make a move in college? She must have noticed Tina to remember her 10-15 years later? Tina may be insecure but in a big city, it is sometimes easier/safer to fall into your little world and not venture out of your groove. Bette might of crushed on Tina if we recall Bette’s sexy dream. Keep it going b/c I certainly don’t have the imagination to do so but I love reading your stories. :-)
