Never Can Say Goodbye
Not telling & nice dodge but I’m still waiting for my answer
Tina I wish you knew how hard this is for me, I key in my 2 letter response and rise from the bed intent on finding her. I just make it to the bathroom when I receive another text
Have I ever told you that you are very predicable Porter I get it too much too soon huh ok I can do slow how about a kiss
Oh god Tina your not going to make this easy for me are you…. leaving the empty bathroom I send my reply and wonder what feels heavier my heart or my feet.
Where the hell is she I make strides towards the only other room she can be hiding in. I tentatively open the door to the spare room mindful that she could jump out from behind it, she’s not in here but she has sent another text
Now your just playing hard to get and you know how I love the chase. I’m only going to ask you one more and just so you know the answer can be found in the numbers 937
I scan my keypad and the answer glares back at me. My heart rate increases ten fold as I wait for the text that I know is coming. I walk to the bedroom window fearful of the question glad that it is so easy to lie in text.
“Do you still love me”
What was a second ago beating furiously
Stopped
Shocked that Tina is standing behind me silently begging for the truth….the soft touch of her hand on my shoulder stuns my heart to a beat…she applies some pressure tempting me to turn around
For the first time this evening I allow myself the luxury of gazing into her hazel eyes, and how I wish I hadn’t…..the wall that I had painstakingly erected with the force of a bulldozer came crashing down
Had I ever seen them more revealing than they are now…..
Vulnerable
Hopeful
Adoring
We had been drawn together by a force stronger than our combined will to resist, it couldn’t be denied then and despite my righteous intentions I felt powerless to deny it now.

Well hard work pays off, im glad they are finally off the phone and talking. Now maybe a little playtime can be had
Skimmer, whilst I’m over the moon that you’ve posted, and such a great chapter at that where they’re face to face and finally taking…. *takes deep breath* youstoppedinthemiddleofasentenceandthatisjustsososonotonandicannotbelievethatyoudidthatandyousobetterbepostingsoonorelsei’mgonnahireyourkidstomakethenext6weeksatimeyou’llnevevereverforgetandnotforgoodreasonseithersopostsoonlikenownowNOW. *breathes* Ta, skimmer! :)
So glad to see your post. Looking forward to more.
Hungry?! Starved! Thanks for the tiny morsel! Regular feedings would be lovely, but family comes first, enjoy the kids! PPS!
Great Place to stop!!! Have fun with your kids. Thanks PPS
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting today! I’ve been waiting for an update to pull me out of lurking! You’ve done it again…making my heartache for these two. pps!
About time Bette talked…or their relationship is over b4 it barely commenced.
Exactlywhatjp22said!
Glad they had a little talking but, Bette needs to tell her WHY she feels this way. And she should have told her that she could have everything she wants also. Gosh, hope they talk really soon. Thanks for posting.
Wow. I’m not sure there’s anything I can say that no one else has said yet, except this: Where’s that NC chapter, Skim? I can think of 21 reasons for it lol
Keep them talking and work thing out!
AH!!! come on you can’t leave us like that.
And I’ll second jp22 comment. SOON
Nice stopping point…..baaaaad Skimmer! Thanks for the post though. This is such a sweet painful story.
Brilliant, awesome update. I’m glad they’re off the phone and talking face to face. Now let’s hear what Bette’s fear is all about. Thank you Skimmer for posting :)
Well at least they are talking…..but they just need to trust their love the rest will take care of itself
I would light up with pleasure now! :o) This was a good chapter like always.
Skimmy…I have never known you to be so cruel…telling us you’ll not be able to post much and then leaving us with that wacking big cliff hanger! OMG now we have to wait to hear the story where we are finally going to see why Bette doesn’t want children. Well, I’ll just have to steel myself for the long wait…try to write something when they go to bed please.
Diddo as per jp22. PPS
Hey Skimmer! I’m all caught up now and popped in to say I’m loving this story. I’d repeat what jp said but…I just can’t get enough air in me to say that all at once! Thanks for taking the time to post :)
OMG, you had me hanging on every single word. I can feel their pain every inch of the way. Just fantastic.
Thanks for the update. This is so heartbreaking to see them struggling like this. I hope that in telling her story Bette can get some closure about whatever it was that happened and open her mind to the possibility of being a parent….Please…..
