The Hardest Thing

I wrote a one shot! Well, it's 43 pages in a Word doc and that might be too long for an o/s, so maybe it'll end up being a two shot or more.   


I put a lot of heart and soul into this o/s, and it has become my new "baby."  BfL Browns has been begging me to continue it, but that won't happen until "After All" is finished.  Browns had first (and will have last) crack at it, and it's been through a few different betas at PTB. It's off to a few other people at this point as well, who are looking it over for consistency and flow.  When they're done it'll probably be posted.  


Just to give you a taste, here's a bit of a teaser...

I hadn’t meant to fall in love with Bella, but it happened anyway.

I wasn’t expecting it.  Falling in love with her turned my life upside down, in both good and bad ways.  It showed me what true love and passion could be like.  I felt alive when I was with her.  Life made sense with Bella, and nothing had ever felt so right.

Or so wrong…

I knew if I had told Angela, she would have forgiven me, and maybe even given me her blessing.  However, admitting to my wife that I had fallen in love with another woman was unthinkable to me.  I knew it would destroy her, and I couldn’t do that to her or to our marriage.  Angela had been my best friend for more than twenty years, and you don’t just walk away from that, no matter how right something else might feel.

Keep an eye out for it and let me know what you think! 

Updates

I've been MIA, I know.  

So sorry for the long delay in getting Chapter 17 out to you.  Real life is kicking my ass...well, grad school is kicking my ass.  My head has been in the wrong place to write this chapter since it's basically full of fluff and love and what my "Beta for Life," Browns, calls creamy filling.  Somehow writing papers about social justice, racism and sexism just doesn't give me the mojo I need to get this chapter out. 


That being said, I do have 4K written and we haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet.  I'm hoping to spend some time writing tomorrow and maybe (cross your fingers) finish it then. At any rate, please know I haven't given up on the story...it's just taking a lot longer than I had ever planned to finish it. 


I hope you're all still sticking with me. I'll continue to tease and such on Twitter and here.

Chapter 17 Teaser

Almost four hours later, we were pulling into the resort.  Bella had fallen asleep just after we had stopped for a quick bite to eat. She’d ranted and raved for a little while about my refusal to tell her where we were going and she was not happy with me about it. Ten minutes into our trip she stopped talking to me. I looked over to find that she had passed out in the seat beside me.
