Though she was still unsure what she would do, Meg left the lunch meeting feeling better about everything in general. Now came the hard part: could she accept that she was in love with a woman and stop fighting her feelings for Kate. And if she could, did she have the courage to follow through.

nogravyover 1 year agoYeah, I'm in the "Jade was too easy on Vivian" camp. I don't give a fuck how "drawn" Viv and Ari were to one another, they should have had the common decency to talk to Kate, in light of their history with her. In Kates's place, I wouldn't forgive them, I'd just forget them.
Anonymousover 8 years agoWas going to go off on a rampaige, decided to have some patience and read some comments. I agreed with most of them to some degree, read Shikes comments and really agreed. I am not sure why you choose to have Ari and Viv behave that way, with little or no forthought to the hurt they would cause. Could be that going down that particualar rabbit hole was difficult for you. Not sure but by trying to gloss over a major crossroads cheapened your story.
KarenEover 10 years agoaccept the Viv/Ari relationship.
The betrayal of Kate is totally unforgivable. After all that Kate did for her, even a naive sub like Ari should have had the ovaries to go to Kate and tell her she was uncontrollably drawn to Viv and wanted to explore it. Kate would have been hurt, maybe angry, but she would not have been betrayed.
The clincher for me was Ari giving her virginity to Viv, something that Kate was too kind to try to take too soon.
DCohen2349over 10 years agoOK, I get that EVERYONE could tell Kate was hung up on Meg. Hell, she says more than once that she has a crush on her.
But Megan has made it very clear that she is flattered but not interested, but Ari has the magic insight to see that Meg IS interested, an lo and behold, presto change-o, and Meg is seriously considering it? Strains credulity a bit.
And I agree with adidasgal, she should have clobbered Viv. When she walked into the office and "threw her purse on the couch", she should have swung it at Viv's head!
DCohen2349over 10 years ago"Ari told me that you were always gentle. You never pushed her or made any demands of her. That was sweet and kind of you but that wasn't what Ari needed. She wants and needs someone in her life to take charge of her, lead her, love and guide the submissive in her." - So why COULDN'T Kate take charge. Wasn't that why she and Viv didn't work, because they were BOTH dominant personalities?
"I never wanted to hurt you. I love you, I really do," - I'm sorry, gotta call BS on that one. If you love someone, and don't want to hurt them, then guess what? YOU DON'T HURT THEM! After her talk with Terry Ari should have gone to Kate, explained her feelings and ended it. Instead she LIED and CHEATED. Those are NOT acts of love!
"I hope things work out better for you with Viv than they did with me," Kate said. Sad, she took her purse and walked away, out of the apartment and out of the club. - MUCH too gracious. Should have told them both to go to hell, and tell Ari not to come crying when Viv dumps her.
adidasgalover 10 years ago"ALL FOR THE BEST!" my foot, c'mon Kate, where is your backbone. Kate should have followed her first instincts, i don't think anyone would have begrudged her that pleasure. Vivian's explanation to Jade about Kate's feelings for Meg, (lol) is an attempt to justify her betrayal to Kate and the amazing friendship they shared (lame, but true) BUT.... you have to admit though, the desire and sensuality between V and A is HOTTER THAN HELL! (ducking... LMAO)
sbrooks103over 10 years agoI can't believe how everyone in this story is so complacent with Vivian and Ari. "Oh, aren't they so good together, it's obvious they are really in love, it never would have worked out with Kate".
Viv and Ari CHEATED on Kate, Kate never had a real chance to work out with Ari because Viv interfered. If she was so damn sure it wouldn't work out, why not wait and then move in on Ari.
Frankly, Kate, Jade and Terry should let everyone know that their not safe with their girlfriends around Viv, that she doesn't respect boundaries.
I will have no respect for Kate if she makes up with Ari, let alone Viv.
sbrooks103over 10 years agoI can't really agree with Kate that it's "all for the best." MAYBE it is now, but let's track the story:
1) Kate IS a dominant personality; she COULD have given Ari what it now appears that she needs, but at the time Ari was damaged, just recovering from an abusive dominant. At BEST to come on strong would have been to take advantage of her, at worst it could have destroyed her. Basically Kate is being punished for healing Ari.
2) Viv is SUPPOSEDLY Kate's friend. Giving her the benefit of the doubt that she honestly felt an over-powering attraction to Ari she should have gone to Kate first, before making a move on Ari.
3) Ari supposedly "loves" Kate. Kate has made it ABUNDANTLY clear that Ari can talk to her about anything. If Ari felt there was something missing from the relationship that she really needed she should have talked to Kate.
4) Finally, she CHEATED! If she felt she HAD to go to Viv, she should have had the "balls" to go to Kate and say she needed to move on.
Finally, Kate is too kind, she should have clocked Viv. And decked Ari too if she tried ro interfere. I CERTAINLY wouldn't have wished them well. I really hope Viv breaks Ari's heart, and she finds that herself alone.
fanfareover 10 years agoThis is Dru's story and will develop as her muse dictates.
In real life a couple such as Vivian and Ari never last. Eventually Vivian will feel taken advantage of and resent that Ari is topping her from the bottom. Ari will keep escalating her emotional neediness as an addict or alcoholic always needs larger and larger quantities of their cravings. It will end disastrously, even violently for both of them.
Then they will go right back out and find the exact same bad relationship with another opposite. and the cycle of self-destruction will start again.
tokyoetparisover 10 years agoPleaasee let there be a story/character progression on Kate and Meg for the next chapter! I'm excited on what's going to happen between them. Oh and btw, you're a wonderful writer. :)
Anonymousover 10 years agoI love this story!!! I really hope Kate and Meg get together. Please keep it coming. I can't wait to read what happens next! :)
Anonymousover 10 years agoAs I have read the comments about what a terrible person Viv was for taking Ari from Kate, I think everyone should remember you are the author. It was your way to segway back to getting Kate and Meg together. I believe it was a really clever plot twist. Once again you have demonstrated your brilliant story telling and writing skills. I anxiously await the next installment. (Hopefully Kate and Meg find happiness forever together) Thanks for sharing your talent with us. You are truly gifted. ChristieP
Shikeover 10 years agoIn truth, I think Jade and Terry were too easy with the whole cheating thing. Especially with what happened to Jade and her ex-husband. My personal problem is not that Vivian and Ari got together, it's that they went behind Kate's back and then blew it off like it was nothing. Also Jade and Terry blowing it off doesn't fit with the characters that you've established. I hope that you can redeem this because if this story continues this easily I may have to stop reading it. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be ok with what happened, because it's happened to me and it took me more than a year to be able to forgive.
I do love you're writing and really enjoy your stories, in general, I just think you played this wrong and, while I actually see what Ari and Viv doing as in character, I don't seen how Jade and Terry reacted as in character.
Anonymousover 10 years agoThe problem with the whole Vivian-Ari couple is that it seems to come out of thin air. From our perspective, Megan had just been a passing fancy for Kate, and Kate was all invested in Ari... but only in this chapter do you reveal the fact that Kate wasn't really over Megan, or that Megan felt good with the attention.
