Would you like to dance…Chapter 3
"Fate…", Bette whispered back.
"Well, its either that, or we could just blame it on our two very full bladders." Tina smiled and wrapped her arms around Bettes waist, just a little bit tighter. "Somehow though, fate…or destiny, just sounds so much better to me."
Bette laughed at the woman nestled so comfortably in her arms. "Well, fate certainly sounds more romantic than saying…gee, fortunately we both just had to pee at the same time!"
Tina giggled, then looked back down at the picture of Bettes mother. After a long moment, where she found herself silently thanking the woman in the photo, for helping to shape the woman in her arms, she then let her eyes travel to the other photos on the cabinet. Bette followed her eyes, and before Tina could ask, she explained who they were looking at.
"This is my father…and this is my sister, Kit…she owns The Planet. This one is Kit with her son David, when he was about four." She stopped, then lowered her voice. "And this…is the last picture we have of the three of us." Bette picked up the photo and cradled it in her hands, her eyes filling with tears, again. "My parents and I went out for dinner at The Rainbow Room, to celebrate my graduation. My dad was so sweet, asking the waiter if he would take our picture." Bette and Tina stood in silence for a moment, both transporting themselves into the picture, visualizing the sounds of a restaurant…the music, the dancing, a knife scraping against a plate…laughter, and soft conversations all around…then hearing the waiter as he pointed the camera at the happy and proud family… say cheese!
"She died four months later, from a heart attack." She shook her head, still even after all these years, feeling a wave of disbelief. "A heart attack…," she whispered. "She was only 53."
Tina reached up and gently scooped up a lock of hair that was covering Bette’s left eye, and tucked it behind her ear. "I’m sorry, Bette."
Bette took a deep breath, and gave Tina a grateful smile. "Yeah, me too." She took one last look at the pictures of the people she loved, and turned back to Tina. "Okay…enough with the heavy stuff." She reached out and laced her fingers through Tina’s. "Come with me." She walked them through the kitchen, grabbing a bottle of wine and two glasses along the way, and led them through the French doors, out onto a large wooden deck.

Great chapter. Bette and Tina is so beautiful couple. Bette is so funny I like when Tina say she have never kiss a woman befor tonight, and Bette just shock. Now let see what they do next, post soon. Thank you!
Thank you for clearing up Tina’s background.
I was sure she was going to say: “I’m from the mountains in Wyoming, and I was raised by wolves. The pack has many members. I am but one among many…”
Another fantastic chapter from yourself please keep up the good work from both your stories
Loving this! I’m so glad you’re going with this story. Can’t wait to hear more.
OK –I’m getting the feeling this is like Douglas Adam’s increasingly inaccurate trilogy of the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy – I had to re-read the last lines again – I was sure I had missed something – you are going to continue aren’t you – not leave us hanging here!
I’m super late to the party but I love this! Thanks for continuing to write on this story. I loved the ending with Bette dropping her glass. Nice touch. Please post soon.
The waiting is killing me…..on both stories, Hope you will be able to continue soon, they are both totally captivating…..
Oh good, there’s more! If I’m not mistaken, you’ve begun another story, and that makes me very happy. I love the power of the attraction in this story and Tina’s directness. Go Tina. As always, looking forward to the next installment.
What a marvel! another chapter.
Loved!
