(Bette smiled and moved a step closer…)
BETTE- “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt but…”
TINA- “It’s ok. What…wow…what are you doing here?”
BETTE- (She smiles…) “I guess I could ask you the same question!”
TINA- (She blushes…) “Sorry, I just mean…”
BETTE- “No no…it’s ok…it is quite a coincidence…I…I actually come here a lot.”
TINA- “Oh.” (She smiles…) “Time to think?”
BETTE- (Nodding…) “Yeah…you?”
TINA- “Yep.” (She searches Bette’s face…) “You must be working hard on that gala…”
BETTE- (Standing next to her now and facing the ocean…) “Yes, very. But actually it’s falling into place. I’ve been working like a dog these past several days so fortunately I’m only really dealing with finishing touches now…thank goodness. I hate 11th hour craziness…I always hated that, but always seemed to end up in it…but this time I think I’ve got it covered….I think!”
TINA- (Smiling…) “I’m sure you do.”
BETTE- “Positive?”
TINA- “Yes.”
BETTE- “Hmm. Ok…I feel better now…”
TINA- (Chuckling…) “You seem like you’re in control.”
BETTE- “Control? Wow. I’m impressed.”
TINA- “With my bold attempts at judging you?”
BETTE- (A little dramatic…) “No, with your accurate assessment of my abilities.” (Tina laughs…) “You laugh?”
TINA- “Mhm. So, gallery lady…what’s really up with the evening reckoning with the ocean and all its majesty?”
BETTE- (She looks at Tina as the blonde continues looking ahead while following Bette in her periphery…) “Probing now huh?” (Tina turns to look at her and is surprised by the feeling in her chest as she gazes upon the moonlit face and its lovely smile. Tina feels herself blushing and turns to look forward again as she chuckles to evade a reckoning with self-exposure…) “Yes, if you must know…I’m trying to clear my mind.” (Bette looks at Tina’s face and then joins her in looking out toward the ocean.)
TINA- “Pernicious thoughts?”
BETTE- “Nothing quite so exciting…just a lot of clutter…or something…” (She turns to Tina again…) “And you, my new mysterious friend from the East Coast?”
TINA- “Mmm. I think this is some sort of painful learning phase for me.”
BETTE- “Learning? Last I checked such a thing was fulfilling, not painful.”
TINA- “Yeah well, this ain’t much fun…I’d rather be ignorant I think! Or I’d rather be enlightened in a much easier way…” (Her tone sounds a little more serious.)

Merl this was an awesome update! Something about this line just popped out from the page —- “Bette, when you are engaged in the search of life you can never be lost…you seek and you will find…your heart, your soul, your life. When you’ve stopped looking, when you sit there and move nowhere, when you look around and just let life find you…then, you are lost…” I think if there is one small little “life lesson” if you will, it is just a profound piece right there. Thank you for that lovely shout out. I am very much aware at how meaningful the personal shout outs and opening author’s notes are to the readers. I’ll warn ya though, once you start them, they come to be expected!!!! LOL! Thanks so much for the update Merl, post soon won’t you??? ;-))
Ah crap, I hate when that happens. That “I love you, you like me” thing. But it probably is more rare that the feeling is mutual. It take it that with B & T they will eventually discover the feeling IS mutual.
love the dialog but what “recalcitrant” means? i was too lazy to check my dictionary…and don’t worry, my next chapter is coming and it’s hot and sexy…i think LOL
“Man I hope you’re straight…a quick though painful end for my heart to bear…” – number of times I’ve felt this = countless!thanks for the quick update!
Absolutely love this story. I liked shane being protective of Justine and asserting herself when she corrected the pronunciation of her name, loved it. and, well, your slow dance with B & T is enthralling. you could feel Tina just tripping over every word and Bette having small heart attacks at the thought of what Tina really meant! Please post soon, I’m hooked and I need my fix.
So gooooood to read..>Thank you, very much!
So Bette already knows that feeling of loving someone and they not loving you. So Tina and Bette do share something, the case loving someone who does not love them. I think this time that situation will not be an issue. This story is probably closer to a real life situation than most of the stories. You get the real feeling that they are scared to get to know the other. Tina’s feelings sound so real to me (maybe because I have been there).
THIS IS SO GREAT!
I´m glad Justine has Shane as a friend and that S hopefully looks out for her a bit. I think Tina should go to the gala and maybe B+T will realize that they already found each other, they just don´t know it yet. And don´t worry I will keep on reading, this story is too good to miss.
Merlin if i knew the answer, i would tell you. There’s a reason that your the writer and i’m the reader. Now 4 pages where getting somewhere. That was great as aways. I think tina needs to listen to her gut feeling and not with your head, she knows she likes bette, why not take the chance. Love is a fantastic feeling and let the girls find it the merlin way.Thank you just don’t keep me waiting to long
Hey there, i forgot to mention, i’ll take my hat off to anyone that attempts to write a story and for that i thank you!!!!!!!!! thank you
T, it’s not how many words you use, it how they are conveyed. You my dear do an amazing job and I can’t get enough of this story. Thanks for the update.
