Reunions Reunite: The way we were. Chpt 1
Story written on February 18, 2007 by justloveB+T.
My heart winced as a warm delight rushed through me, the infamiliairity of both sensations scary, as I invented a combination to the locker I had been asigned to have.
20-09-14-01
At least THAT I wouldnt forget…
But why? I wondered, stealing another glance in the direction she has dissapeared in…
Why did she make me feel like this?
Why did I see those hazel eyes every time I closed mine, as if I had looked straight into a lamp, the light incised into my retina?
Why did I feel that, no matter what happened, I HAD to see her again?
And the dawning threat of the impact of all of this…
For why had I just made the combination of my locker, the name of a girl I had barely even met?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A slight tug on her hand brought Bette back to reality, and she smiled, remembering Tina’s many efforts to find out the combination of her locker. Asking casually, little tricks, it had become a game they played, a game in which the brunette had stayed inflexible and had never given in.
It had been the key to the one secret she had kept from the gorgeous blonde before her, a secret so intense, it had made her feel special and guilty at the same time… It had made her feel all sorts of emotions at the same time… All those sensations that now rushed through her veins again, feelings she had tried to suppress, clearly without success… Bette searched the eyes before her, for a hint of disgust or anger about the day they had parted and what had followed… But she couldn’t find any… Hazel eyes, without a hint of distrust, glanced deeply and shyly into hers.
You haven’t changed a bit, T…
The brunette stated hoarsly, and as Tina gave her a radient smile, she swallowed hard to help her calm her racing heart…
Isn’t that what people always say at reunions? I can’t say the same for you, though…
The blonde took a step back, still not letting go of the soft hands, her head slightly cocked to a side to take in the appearence of her once best friend. A sting of hurt and guilt flashed through her eyes, invisible to most, but not to the brunette who knew her so well. It confused her, to see those emotions in those wonderfull eyes that still haunted her dreams. Because somehow she never had expected… She had thought the blonde might be reserved, maybe even wouldn’t want to see her… But now she felt Tina’s hands were trembling as much as her own… Could it be that she hadn’t cared about the secret? Could it be that the brunette had misjudged her possible reaction? But then why had T never contacted her again?
At once the option dawned to her….
Could it be that Eric never told?
Bette blinked as that thought entered her mind… It would explain so much if it was true, but why would the man do something to protect her? The brunette opened her mouth to ask about the quarterback that was her soon-to-be-husband the last time they had seen eachother, but Tina spoke first, reaching out to the long locks that fell across Bette’s face…
I don’t know what makes the biggest difference, your hair, your smile…
The brunette blushed shyly, looking away from the wandering eyes…
I guess the braces paid off… And I wear contacts these days…
The blonde cupped Bettes face with her hand, gently forcing their eyes to meet again…
You look ravishing…
She uttered, breathless, and a strange feeling overwhelmed her, because at once she saw the strangeness of their conversation… Looking in Bette’s eyes she realized the brunette hadn’t changed at all, but she knew she herself had. Her best friends beauty had always reached beyond her appearance, and more then once Tina had found herself glancing at the precious face on the pillow when they had a sleepover. Maybe Bette didn’t change that much at all… Maybe they had it all wrong, because she felt like she was the one who had done the changing… She sighed, looking sadly into the darkbrown eyes that knew her like no other… And allthough she didn’t feel like the girl she had been in highschool, certain emotions rushed through her now that reminded her of that time of her life…
There was the anxiety to be judged, the vulnurability and the need to hide, but, underneath it all, there were those eyes… The only eyes that could make her sense that rare enstranging feeling…
For the first time in almost 14 years, Tina Kennard felt safe…
