Chapter 17
Two days later… Monday
Tina was tapping her four-inch nude Prada shoe on the floor while impatiently waiting for the elevator door to open. And the reason? Well that very surprising, short yet meaningful call last Friday night had made her quite restless the whole weekend and now she couldn’t wait to see Bette to get some more details of her “three conditions”.
Ding…
“Good morning!”
Tina’s heart skipped a beat. For seven years of coming into her office she was so accustomed of seeing her former assistant James, a six foot boyish looking man greeting her in the morning with a cup of her favorite coffee but today that wasn’t the case. Instead, a drop dead gorgeous brunette was now standing in front of her holding a cup of espresso. She was wearing a soft silky black long-sleeved blouse neatly tucked into a pair of well-tailored pants, hugged by a slim matching belt. Her sleeves rolled up and daringly unbuttoned her top to expose a small of cleavage.
The blonde bit her lower lip and she thought how was it possible that a simple innocent greeting could turn into something so sensual especially at 9 o’clock in the morning? Oh maybe because of the sound of Bette’s voice and her sexy smirk were the reasons why Tina was feeling all hot and bothered all of a sudden.
“Good morning to you too!”
Bette smiled as she hand the coffee over to the hazel eyed beauty, their hands touched for a brief moment yet the feel of electricity that went through their bodies didn’t go unnoticed.
“How’s your weekend?” the brunette asked as they walked towards Tina’s office.
“Good and yours?” answered the blonde
“Great!”
Bette took a few steps ahead of Tina and opened the door for the law firm owner
“Oh thanks Bette but you don’t have to do that”
“I know but I want to” the brunette said, her voice a little low then winked
Tina cleared her throat, such a small act from the caramel skinned beauty but the effect on the blonde was quite profound, she then walked inside her office only to be surprised at the beauty waiting for her
“Oh wow!”

Hello my dear ladies I’m here again! Sorry if it took me a more than a month to come up with a new chapter. The last time I post I was in the hospital, I thought I had a Dengue Fever which is a deadly decease in a third world country like mine if it won’t be treated right away, good thing it wasn’t. But to those who were worried and concerned I’m super okay now but I was really touched by your kind words so from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!
Now to make up for my long absence this chapter is longer than the usual. Several things will happen in this chapter to move the story along. Some of the things that you’ve been waiting for you will see in this chapter. Now I know that some of you are getting frustrated all I can say is please have more patience. You know I respect all comments, suggestions and opinions but only if there are conveyed in a respective manner. As far as I know writers in this site are not getting a single dime and so after sharing our time despite our busy lives to create stories that hopefully all of you readers can enjoy, we, writers deserve respect, just like we writers respect our readers.
I know I have some stories that are still unfinished and intend to finish them but it will take time. If you will wait for me then I’ll highly appreciate it if you decide that you can’t then I’ll certainly understand that too.
tibettenation1— No I don’t work in a hospital. I was sick at that time but I’m feeling super okay now, thanks! I know you want them to get there, believe me I want the same thing too but if I’ll do that it’ll look that they are rushing things and I don’t want them to rush because it might just ruin everything but I promise that when that “time” happens I’ll try my best to make it so damn worth to wait (-; I think you’ll like this chapter, well I hope, thanks my friend!

Aiyahnah—HI girl sorry if I left you hanging about the hospital thingy didn’t mean to but I was sick at that time but I’m perfectly okay now! Thanks!
You have a point. Money was Bette’s motivation why she agreed with Tina’s indecent offer but after everything that happened between them esp at the lake house, she took care of Tina and for her to hear Tina telling her about still giving her the money even if Bette changes her mind is somehow hard to swallow. Good thing that little problem/ misunderstanding has been settled quickly. A lot of things will happen in this chapter and they are now in the getting to know stage and Bette will show that she’s not after Tina’s money, you’ll see. You know sometimes you make me think that I know who you are but never mind me I could be wrong (-; Anyway loved the lengthy comment so please keep it coming, take care sweetie!
Sharod—Hey I see that you been reading my previous stories, thank you! Hope you will like this new chapter too (-:
TibettesGal—Oh thanks for catching up and for liking this story. Exciting things will happen in this chapter so hope you’ll enjoy, cheers! (-:
bubcris1—First of all thank you for reading. I was sick for a few days but I didn’t say that I wasn’t capable of finishing my stories or I’m not going to finish them. My aim is to finish all of my stories but it will take time. Do you think I’m no longer capable of finishing my stories that I should have another author finish my stories? If that’s what you think then I don’t have the option but to accept that because that’s your opinion but I have to say that I feel offended and disrespected by your comment. Writers of this site don’t get any monetary reward but we love to hear what the readers can say about our works. In this world, if you want respect you have to earn it and I truly believe that we, writers have earned it therefore we deserve some damn respect.
Lastly I just want to thank a silent reader for reaching out to me and giving me a constructive criticism. I truly appreciate what you’ve said and followed your advice. Thanks so much you know who you are and I hope there’s a smile on your face as you read this. I would love to know what you think either here or in private, thanks!
To everyone and to my dear SILENT READERS hope you’ll enjoy this new chappie and please let me know your thoughts, thanks in advance!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Hi phacey!
I’m getting caught up with this story and will comment once I can get through all of the chapters..But so far I am loving what I am reading….Your stories are very well written and I am enjoying them!
; )
Such a good chapter. Can’t wait to see Bette and Tina’s reaction to Angie invitation. Loved it, thanks
Lord! We are left hanging! :( I loved it! I can’t wait for the b’day party! I knew Tina would buy her that dress. So romantic! Now, if only she could take it off Bette. Too soon for that! That night will be off the hook and chain! PPS
Me again! I loved Boo message to Tina! She was too cute! PPS
Hi Phacey,
Do you skate? I’m willing to bet you do!
I love this story and that’s the reason for the impatience for the next chapter, sorry! Anyway this was a nice chapter and a long one so thanks.
Sorry you have been ill and glad you are better.
Keep well and let’s have another chapter soonish, please, after all tis is a bit of a cliff-hanger!
Wonderful news that you are better! So glad!
I loved this chapter – very sweet. Looking forward to the dinner and the party. Thanks, again, for sharing!
So glad to see you back posting. Very happy to hear that your illness was not as serious as dengue fever. Thanks for sacrificing your time and strength to provide us this entertainment. Tina and Bette seem to making progress on their relationship. Angie is the deal breaker. I hope Bette does hold it against Tina for befriending Angie. I hope Tina’s dream of a family with Bette and Angie comes true. Please continue to post and thank you again for your time.
So that’s where you leave it huh? Just plain wrong. …
Bette and Tina are heading to the right direction and rushing them might ruin the magic. Its nice that you let us take a peek in Bette’s life. So she came from a well off but dysfunctional family i wonder what happened why she left Montana and moved to Texas? Very cute first date and Angelica is so adorable. Can hardly wait for a new chapter but do it in your own time thanks sweetheart!
This story is so charming and well written. Just delightful! I am happy you are feeling better. Write when you can.
I m so glad that you are back and alright !thanks for the wonderful updates!But,come on!How can you hang me there like that ?!for how long this time? God,it’s killing me!come back soon,pleaaaaaaase!
PACEY! you had to see that big smile on my face when I saw your story with new capítulo.Você forgiven for taking so long !! Thanks to the good God, you’re recovered from dengue. I’ll wait patiently Buddha a new update. “Lovers of the Night” is phenomenal, my heart beat so hard when I was devouring this story so captivating and beautiful. I agree with you, they have to walk slowly in this relationship that is full of love and respect you have with each other. Love, love, love this story.
10 stars.
Thank you for a great update and is getting better and better. Nevertheless that is great that you are back and happy that you are okie. I like the relationship between TB now to get to know each other better. Pps….
Thank you for your kind words. I love al your stories, so i will wait patiently for your updates.
I am glad that you are feeling good now and that it will stay like that.
The slow build up to their relationship is simply amazing!
I feel sorry for Tim, but i am glad Bette was honest to him.
Angie, she is one cute and amazing girl, that message on the phone, unforgettable.
Tina should now know that Angie is the daughter of Bette, after hearing the adress. That must be quit a shock.
You left us with with a cliffie, hope that you don’t let us wait for to long.
About your comment over respect, i totally agree with you on that. You writers dedicate much of your time and talent for writing stories. I appreciate that in great respect. If you dont like a story, stay away.
very good to hear that everything is fine with you and that the disease was not so serious.
I loved the chapter, but you know ;)
I love this story, the slow burn with them (not all stories stand out, but I feel like I fit in it)
I like that they get to know each other more and more: the subtle flirting between the two women is so sweet.
I really liked the picture when Tina listened to music and imagining the perfect family moment (though unwittingly, because Angie is really Bette’s daughter)
You’re a real tease us, right? ;)
the scene while shopping, it was amazing!
I loved it so much they are the first but not the official date.
Angie is a sweet kid, she was so cute on the phone message. I’m curious to see what Tina felt when she listen to the title? whether she realizes immediately that Angie Bette’s daughter? I hope this doesn’t create a barrier between them.
I look forward to the next chapter!
Love this so much and can’t wait to see Tina’s reaction and Bette too. Please post more, thanks
What a comeback! I agree with azmama this is a very charming and well written story. Tina is in love and Bette is slowly but surely falling in love and I liked it that you are taking your time with these two. I was smiling the whole time starting from that scene when Tina was daydreaming of her perfect family in the lakehouse until Angelica made that adorable phone call. Tina buying the beautiful black dress reminds me of the movie Pretty Woman so romantic. Sorry for being impatient sometimes but I just love your story and I can’t wait to see their romantic dinner and the birthday! Please post soon!
Phacey thank you so much for updating this story. Yeah it’s been a month since the last time you updated this but this longer chapter is worth all the wait.
I get that some of your readers got impatient of waiting for your updates. But I agree that life can be so demanding sometimes and you, devoting some of your precious time to write wonderful stories for us to enjoy are highly appreciated. And yeah, readers must know that you (and other writers here) are not being paid for your efforts, so the least we can do is to be thankful and wait patiently for your updates. And I believe that nobody… I mean NOBODY can replace you, or is capable of continuing your stories no matter how good an author she is. So please carry on with your stories and we, your loyal supporters believe in your skills and talent as a writer and we will read anything you post… no matter how long it would take… until the conclusion.
This is a nice chapter by the way. I like where it is heading. Loved the skating scene (it made me wished I know how to skate).
Tina buying Bette a dress and inviting her for a dinner, being her boss, for me it appears like it was a peremptory request. And who can turn down that invitation? Well anyway, they’re in the getting to know each other and dating stage, so I think it makes sense.
I’m excited for their date and for Angie’s birthday party. How they would react when they would finally meet and Tina discovering that her adorable friend Angie is Bette’s daughter.
We’ll be waiting for your next update. Just post anytime you can. Thanks!
absolutely love this story, can’t wait for the next chapter, wish they’d get it on though lol x
Sorry to hear of your health issues. You are one of my favorite writers on this site. I love this storyline. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This slow burn phacey is painfully delicious :)
Please continue it…i really enjoys your writing.
..hi phacey.. im glad that you’re ok now.. wow!i love this story….you’re the best writer ever!. :-) can’t wait for the next chapter. Take care always. Godbless
This chapter definitely made up for the long absence so thank you for coming back! Sometimes I hate slowburn but I can never hate this in fact I’m so loving it! I love the unofficial first date and I think its lovely because Tina has shown another side of her to Bette. Finally Angelica made that phone call and its was so cute and clever I just love that kid(-: Another cliffhanger phacey so I hope you won’t make us wait too long honey. Looking forward to their dinner date pps!
Hi Phasey! I’m very happy to know that you are well and recovered, also that you could give us a new and long chapter, it has also been so sweet. I am very impatient and desperately waiting your updates (I love your stories and how you’re telling). But also understand and appreciate very much the effort of yours and all the other wonderful writers who selflessly delivered here his work to the delight of all.
I loved the whole chapter. Each line has been enjoyed and appreciated.
The scenes to start arriving in the elevator have become classics; make the starting chapters equally high in emotion.
I like to see Bette reflect on the destiny, the meeting of the two through a working page on the internet. Before, Tina had told her his ‘little secret’ (end ch2). Then the meeting Angy’s birthday would be a bombing for both.
Great story..please continue it. Waiting the update.
I hope you are doing ok. It’s been awhile and we miss you. Hope to hear from you soon. This is one of my favorite stories.
Ready for Chapter 18 phacey – please been nearly 2 months since Chapter 17!
Really love this story.

Heck Phacey sweety don’t leave us this way…it’s been too long and this is a very good story…Boom!…Will Bette get the surprise of her life when Tina shows up to Angie’s party!..Pow!….Awesome story Miss Phacey mam!..thx!..
Hey, Phacey it’s 2 months tomorrow since Chapter 17 and we are still in the ‘dark’ here waiting on Chapter 18!
Please put us out of our misery and post!
Truly, truly sorry for the long wait ladies, and yes cellphone48, I am well so thanks for all the prayers (: Please know that I haven’t forgotten you all and I’m still working on the new chapter. Already written more than 4200 words but it’s not enough and when I post again I want you all to be happy (hopefully). I’m crossing my fingers that Chapter 18 will be ready ASAP so please watch out (;
Thanks for replying! Thank God you are alright! Can’t wait to read chapter 18. We have no choice but to wait until you post it. PPS
That was a great chapter. I can’t wait for Angie’s party. I loved how Tina was able to help Bette get over her fear of ice skating and sending her the dress was awesome. I also enjoyed Angie leaving Tina the message and described herself as being a pretty little girl, so precious.
