The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 6

“Chris, you’re late. We have to leave in like 30 minutes,” he said.
She huffed, puffing out her cheeks and said calmly, “I’m aware of that. I’ll be ready. Can you grab one of the bottles of Glendronach 18 year and gift wrap it?”
He shrugged. “Fine. I’ll wrap it. What color are you wearing?” The event was black tie. Henry liked to match his bow tie color and pocket square to her dress.
She huffed again, jumping out of the Lexus SUV. “I don’t know. They didn’t have my dress. They lost it.”
“Chris, this is why you don’t wait until the last minute!” he said.
She glared at him before grabbing the dry-cleaning bag from the back seat. “I’m an adult, Henry. I’ll text you the color. I’m going to go upstairs and find something that works. Crisis averted.”
Now he glared at her, rolling his eyes as she walked past. “Get it out now!” he yelled behind her. “We have to behave in front of everyone.”
“Like I don’t know that,” she muttered, stomping up the stairs. In the closet, she pushed and pulled hanging clothes until she came across a teal dress she liked. It was an off-shoulder, long gown with a split in the middle. And it had pockets! She texted Henry a photo of the dress and grabbed its hanger, placing it on the bed in the master bedroom. She took a 5-minute shower and then brushed her teeth. She applied her makeup in record time and spritzed her body with a soft fragrance. Her hair still looked great. She found a string of pearls and pearl earrings and found the teal, four-inch pumps that had been dyed to match the dress.
When Tina looked at herself in the full-length mirror, she smiled. She could feel the sands of time racing against her, but she took a picture of herself with her phone anyway. She met Henry at the bottom of the steps. He tux now had the addition of a teal bow tie and matching pocket square. He was holding the gift-wrapped box of scotch in his hand. Though his look was still soured, he couldn’t help the brightness in his eyes at watching Tina walk down the stairs.

I’m glad that you gave to us Tina’s side of story. But i really confused – Tina married to Henry? In second time? What happen to Eric?
Great to get to know this Tina. Learing about her life makes me think that Bette can not only improve the situation of “Bette 2019” but of “Tina 2019” as well.
I love that Tina already feels some kind of connection to Bette.
Looking forward to their breakfast meeting :-)
This 2019 update to RoomMates has been an intriguing saga for sure. I’m trying to fill in the blanks and have come to the conclusion that the young Tina was not able to bring herself to tell her parents about Bette and their relationship. So her life continued along the expected path of hetero script. Right????????. and so did Bette’s as she chose Sidney to marry.
Cant figure out in my tale what happened to Eric though????. In my story he had to have made a play for Tina by threatening to “out” her to her parents but then ????? this is where my 2005 version falls apart. Auh well, that’s why U’re the Author ????and me the neurotic reader ????????????
Uhmm it seem Tina and Henry are playing some kind of charades with the family.. they all seem to be wearing a mask at this party… did get to meet sissy but she must be a pill or knows Tina’s secrets. Great phone call giving Tina a bit of a slow burn, my favorite way to have her in. Lol.. thank you
In 2019, Bette and Tina meet for the first time when they bump into each other on the street. This is not a continuation of 2005 but a completely new reality. Bette has transferred from the 2005 reality to the 2019 reality with the memories of 2005. Its going to make Bette look like a lunatic if she explains how she knows Tina’s nickname or even why she is so attracted to Tina. Her best bet is to face today’s reality and figure out how to get Tina into her life. In the meantime, she is still married and so is Tina. This has become a very intriguing story.
Good writing….can’t wait for more.
So intrigued now with this story!
Thanks for posting regularly, loving it!
