The Flower Effect – Chapter 4
Tina sat back and starred out at nothing in particular. If Shane had observed the ways in which they were reconnecting with each other, even before each of them had admitted it to themselves, maybe….just maybe what was happening between them could provide the future they were each so desperately looking for. Maybe, they really did have a chance after all.
“You know Shane, if you had asked me a year ago, if I thought that Bette and I would ever have another chance to be together, I would have told you that you were crazy. Bette was with Jodi, and seemed happy. That night at She-Bar a few weeks ago when she kissed me, it changed everything. I knew it was wrong to pursue her, she was in a relationship, but I couldn’t help it. I love her Shane. I always have.”
Shane sat and looked at her friend. “I know TK. Anyone who sees you two in the same room can feel the energy, the connection that exists between you.”
“You want to know what I’m most afraid of Shane?” asked Tina.
“What’s that?”
“Fucking it all up and losing her again.” Tina looked down as she continued. “I survived losing her once, but just barely. It has taken me a long time to get back my confidence and rebuild that trust that I had in her and in our relationship. If one of us messes up again, I don’t know that I will bounce back again and it scares me.”
“Tina, I understand that, but don’t you think that Bette is the one you should be telling this to?” Shane simple stated. “Only you and Bette can work this out. You have to do what you think is right for you both as individuals and as a couple. You have to know that nothing would make all of us happier, than to see you two back together, but that has to be up to you and Bette to decide…not us. It has to be because you both want it, not because your friends want it for you.”
Looking over at Shane, Tina knew she was right. If Bette and her were really going to make it work this time, they needed to talk to each other. They were the only two who had the answers. She stood up, grabbed her purse, gave Shane a hug thanking her for lunch and the talk and then quickly walked out the door.
It was time for Tina Kennard to be in charge of her own future.

okay so does this mean while tina is at lunch with shane, kit went to go see bette???? why must you write drama,lol make it easy!! LOL :)
YAY~!!!! I was thrilled to see an update from you T! To think, Tina was going to see Kit! What a terrific dialog between Tina and Shane. I loved this line, as I am sure you know….”Having that one special person to share it with, who accepted you as you were, didn’t try to change you to be something or someone else>” Good stuff my friend. Thanks SO much for making my day complete. ** HUGS **
I love this story! Your writing is so captivating especially the notes attached to each flower delivery. Can’t wait for Tina to arrive at Bette’s.
Go to her Tina, a very good chapter Taz, I loved the talk, sometimes you need to hear it from another sources to know it’s the right thing to do, Shane struck me as a wise person despite all of her flaws but I know people are not all bad and full of flaws and they are not all good, they make mistakes that can change their lives forever cause they suppose to learn from them. Thank you dear and post soon
Hmmmmm…so if Tina went to see Kit, who turned into Shane, then the knock at Bette’s door may be Alice…to impart some advise to her?????
So….. Bette’s hoping it is Tina on the other side of the door, but Tina has gone to see Kit…… who just happens to be on the other side of Bette’s door…. Well, that is my theory anyway. I look forward to the next post.
at least u both know and vaule what u have
Shane is so sweet,Only the two of you will know. In the world you need to do what is best for you not anyone else. That is hard to do sometimes,but love has a funny way of changing things. thanks
Now, where is Tina off to and who is knocking at Bette’s door? I hope that Bette does not freak out tooo much. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
I am glad that Shane could be there for Tina. Now I hope Tina goes to Bette and starts working things out, so they can move forward.
Go Tina!!
Another great chapter. Looking forward to more soon I hope.
So happy that Tina had that talk with Shane and Kit would have probably told her the same thing, more or less. Now on to see Bette and tell her how she feels. Grat chapter. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. PPS
Get to Bette, Tina!!
