    The Moment I Fell

    “Thank you. Let me grab my purse real quick.”

    I opened my passenger door and reached for the strap of my bag. Bette readjusted her grip on the bag so that her free hand could hold mine as she led me back up the walkway to her open front door. Following her, I could detect just a hint of her perfume as it tickled my nose. It wasn’t overpowering like some women who bathe in it, but it was just enough to make me inhale deeper in an attempt to smell more of it; more of her. There was something about that popular 90’s unisex fragrance that just mixed well with her natural scent.

    We walked inside where her stereo was playing top 40 radio. She shut the door behind me.

    “What’s on the menu tonight, T?”

    “You like salmon, right?” I asked.

    “Love it,” she answered with another smile.

    “Good.”

    In the kitchen, she had a bottle of white wine already open and set the bag down next to the two empty glasses.

    “Okay, what can I help you with?” she asked as she poured us both a generous share of the bottle.

    “Point me to your baking dishes so I can doctor up the fish and you can be in charge of boiling the red potatoes and getting me a steamer for the green beans.”

    “I can boil a mean pot of water.” She bragged as she handed me the glass of wine. “To our first Tuesday night sleepover.” She raised her glass to mine.

    “May it be the first of many.” I said as our glasses clinked softly. We both took a sip and stared at one another for a second before leaning in again for another kiss. As our lips met, I was again teased again by her perfume and I set my glass down to bring her in closer to me. At the conclusion of our kiss, I buried my nose into her neck and took a deep breath, kissing her just behind her ear as I hunted for that scent again.

    She chuckled as her hands smoothed down my back. “Did you miss me?”

    I pulled back so we could make eye contact once again and smiled brightly at her. “Yes, I did.”

    1. This is only a one-off. But I suppose if you’re keeping score, this could potentially be a second part to the last fic I posted.

      I have so many unfinished story files sitting in my documents folder, it’s not even funny. I’ve realized that as I get older, the times when creativity and inspiration strike are fewer and farther between. Time is the great equalizer, but there never seems to be enough of it, especially when you’re struggling to find that healthy work-life balance.

      I hope you are all doing well and are happy and healthy wherever you may be.

      Cheers!

      • Hi, meloveslu! :D Thanks a lot for this lovely, fluffy, quite polished one-off! I’ve always loved your stories and I truly hope you’ll find the time and be inspired someday soon to put the finishing touches to your creative projects. And let me guess the identity of the third writer who “inspired” you to share this one-off. Is it BEG who broke her 11-month silence to post an update on “Home Again Part 2”? I heart that story and that writer too.

        Thanks again and have a lovely, productive new work week! :D

        • Fantastic guess MightyMouse! You should be a detective ;-)

          Appreciate you reading. When I find time to finish some of these bad boys, hope you’ll be there with more of your wonderful flattery.

          Xoxoxo

    2. Hi, thanks for the story!

      So, it’s second part of “20 years”? – good.

      And about your comment – what are your three favorite writers, who posted last month? BenMac, Cella?

      P.S. Interesting – how many comments will be about “Playing by heart”? :)

      • Hey Zhenya!

        Yep, I think it could be a follow-up to 20 Years since we don’t know where Bette is coming home from. I didn’t really plan it like that, but t seems like it works right?

        You certainly named 2 of my 3 faves. I’ll let you do a little digging around to discover who else may be a favorite of mine ;-)

        I’m willing to bet many of these comments will have some mention of PBH. It is definitely the largest unfinished file in my documents folder ????

        Thanks for reading!

        • Hm, third author? Pie, skydancer, Valerie? ;-)

          And of course, i would be happy if you can give proper final for your biggest story ( and maybe give inspiration another two writers with unfinished busines :) – kins40 and peculiar), but i understand that it might be difficult for you – too many time has gone and hard to get your mind back in storyline again.

    3. Hi Meloveslu,

      I am always happy when you find some time to post a story! And i hope you find the creativity and inspiration to post those unfinished stories. Maybe Playing by Heart?

      I hope you find the right balance between work-life.

      Thank you so much for sharing this story with us.

      • Bibi!

        Thanks so much for reading. Makes me warm and fuzzy inside when you come out and support my stories. I hope you’re right about getting some more inspiration. One of these days, I could surprise myself and finish up that story you’re asking about.

    4. Love the flow and pacing of your stories. And this one, what a sweet, elegant feel to it. I wish I had the writing chops to pull of a story in the in the first-person. You on the other hand, have mastered it. Outstanding, young lady.

      • Oh please! Writing first person pales in comparison with the ability to weave an in depth plot line with serious subject matters that continually keeps the audience guessing as well as engaged.

        But I will graciously accept your compliment and revel in the fact that you read my fluff anyway. Thanks!

    5. So glad you posted and like everybody else I’m hoping for more even though I understand the difficulty to write when life is hectic. Thank you !

    6. Great to see you posting again and I must add my pleas to the others for you to finish your stories where you have left us hanging wishing for more :-)
      You know which ones they are!
      Thanks for this please post again soon

      • Sassy! So glad to see you caught this one! I hear your dog whistle. It’s always in the back of my mind and occasionally an opened document on my macbook that just stares at me, daring me to write the ultimate ending. Just have to find that window of opportunity to seize the inspiration. It’s much harder than you would think,

        • I am not unaware of how hard it is and appreciate very much your getting inspired and the time to put it into words.
          Still would love you to find the inspiration and the time :-)
