Reunion

"And ramp up the distraction factor," Tina replied. "I do have work that I need to accomplish today, you know."
"Anticipation is part of the fun," Bette said. "And technically, I’ve been anticipating a night with you for almost 20 years."
"Can I remind you that I’m easily intimidated by a stated lack of recent experience?" Tina replied. "I don’t want to think about what lofty expectations your fantasy life has managed to generate."
"Very lofty…"
"Bette, stop it," Tina knew she was teasing her. She kind of liked it. But she was also nervous – it had been a while since…well, since anyone.
"We have two whole days," Bette assured her. "And beyond if you would rather slow things down."
"Let’s not get carried away," Tina said. "Who said anything about slowing down – you’re only here for seven more weekends…"
"I’m suggesting that we take things as they happen, rather than having quite so many expectations of what will or won’t happen," Bette said. "The time we spend together is more important than what we do with it."
"Thanks for saying that," Tina sighed. "I knew you were teasing, but confidence in this arena is not my strength."
"You managed to tap into a degree of confidence last night," Bette said. "And whatever we do will only be enhanced by how we talk about it. That’s what I love about dating someone so adept at saying what she wants."
"I think arousal is as good as alcohol at lowering your inhibitions," Tina explained. "And last night, both played a role."
"I don’t think you can blame the one glass of wine you had," Bette countered Tina’s theory on what had precipitated the previous night’s interaction. "You finally decided to let your guard down around me."
"Part of it is our long standing history," Tina said. "It helps. In some respects, I still think of you as the person I knew 20 years ago. And I know I’m more confident than she was."
"Sometimes I still feel that’s who I am," Bette said. "I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I was a freshman in college."
"But then I consider what we’re doing now – in our respective professional roles – and I realize we’re different people simply by virtue of the amount of time that’s passed."

They are so cute and sweet, love them!
I love this story…they’re so sweet and i feel a bit of a voyeur exploring the city with them. Pps
Things are certainly progressing nicely. Thanks for the post, jks. :)
I always knew that Tina’s “come here” had a magical power.
Another excellent update. Thankyou
Swimmie, so Bette’s in Toronto for only seven more weekends. Does that mean seven more chapters? Since they were doing the tasting menu did Tina order Fission chips? *palm face* How about that tattoo I suggested a little E=MC2, never hurt anyone, I mean…it’s relative…to the story…Great update.
Spectacular dialogue as always…diggin this story! Thanks!
Such a great story, thanks.
omigoodness! Bette may have not been experiencing any symptoms of acrophobia in the tower, but I was feeling quite light-headed and nauseous! LOL Oh, the power of the well-written word! Thanks, Swim! Been silent, but enjoying.
Again-I love your stories.Thank you for the update,nice.PPS
Thank you for the update. Lovely story… all things happen when its the proper time. Guess it must be that time, 20 years later.You write about their time together so well. Most excellent!
Thanks JKS for sweet amazing chapter! Those “come here” is working on its magic already, I think! ;-) your story makes me wonder about the 20 years they spent apart.. Somehow I feel sad of so much time being wasted, but if that’s what it takes.. Well, what can we say?! Anyway… PPVS! Enjoy the chapter so much!! Thanks for sharing!! :-)
=) Can’t help but smile at how the ladies have been getting closer and closer. I love their conversations punctuated by kisses (or is it the other way around?) whenever they’re together. It’s been a treat watching their mutual attraction blossom in the last four chapters. Thanks a lot for this lovely story, jks! Reading this is a good tonic after watching the heart-rending episode 4 of “The walking Dead”. Anyway, can’t wait to read about their next interaction. Cheers! =)
