Would She? Part 2
Henry had been talking about getting a tattoo on his chest or getting a red sport car. That midlife thing men go through. They had walked through shops that offered piercing and tattoos.
Tina was teasing him, whispering in his ear that she would get her nipples pierced if he would do the same. Henry had looked at her like she was crazy and then laughed until his sides ached.
At the last shop they had stood side by side, flipping through the volumes of skin art resting on the counter, pointing out to each other pictures that appealed to them.
“Hey, how about this one?” Henry nudged Tina’s arm . Tina leaned over and her eyes fell on a panther hiding in cover.
“Umph, you don’t want that. Panthers are incestuous animals.” she had quipped, and then pushed her book over to him and pointed to a picture of a penguin.
“Penguins,” she said in her softest baby voice, “penguins mate for life.”
Henry hadn’t appreciated that bit of information about panthers. He’d taken offense at it. Thought that she was ridiculing him.
After that, he’d had become quiet. They had left the city soon after that and the drive home was tense. Tina had opened her mouth numerous times to speak, but each time had decided against it.
Henry’s jaw was set and his eyes narrow as he cut recklessly in and out of traffic. Tina was nervous, scarred and confused. She didn’t know what she did to put Henry in such a foul mood.
Tina began to hum. Henry had thought he had heard right. A soft humming, a quiet drone that made him perspire and caused the hairs on the back of his neck to stand on end.
He glanced at Tina sideways and cocked his head a bit in her directions. He listened, and when he was sure about the tune, he jerked his head back and shifted into fifth gear.
He hated that damn song.
Even the happiest of couples fought, Tina told herself. They were just going through a rough patch. They reached the place in their marriage, the place where the road they had been traveling for the kids mounted, and they had to adjust themselves, move into four-wheel drive, and work together to conquer the proverbial bump in the road.

You really need to read and remember. Then the piece fits together. the past .and now Thanks for bring this back. thanks
I so love this story. WOW!!!! I can not wait to read more. Thank you PPS
Don’t know what happened to the rest of my previous comment, But great chapter. At this point, I think Bette should go for Candace,which offcourse will hurt Tina when she finds out,but oh well.
It’s like reading your favourite novel over and over again, you know what is coming but you can’t stop reading it anyhow. Thanks for this experience.
I really really like this story, thanks for re-posting…
Just skimming at the moment to recommit the story to memory. This is better than I remember!
At least we won’t have to wait long between posts, since we know it’s already written! You know how I feel about Candace, anyway! I’m also skimming right now, but I will take the time to really read through because I remember so much liking this when I first saw it!
Add me to the crew that is just skimming along. I did not like that Bette hooked up with Candance but I kinda like their coupling in this story. Tina, I wish I could give her swift kick to her dumbass.
Everytime I read a good story, I guess more importantly a well written story it amazes me. You have tied me up again, waiting for more on wondering where you are going to take us on the new chapter…exciting, again!!
tina= dumbass
Wow… This just makes me wish this was a book so I could skip class and keep reading. Can’t wait.
My favorite person
Love this, and if you really pay attention the bouncing back and forth makes sense and brings it together. Will just have to wait for you to do it.
