    Author Notes:

    Edging back to reality

    The conversation was quickly over as Bette made work her excuse to end the call.

     

    Tina hung up the phone and turned to face the Cheshire cat grin of her friend.

     

    “Oh girl, you got it bad,” Sharon said resignedly as she shook her head.

     

    “No, in fact, I’ve got it very very good”  Tina laughed as she settled in to tell Sharon her story.

     

    _________

     

    “Thanks for letting me chew your ear off, Shar,” Tina said as her friend was leaving after their extended heart to heart talk.

     

    “I’m glad you’ve found someone who makes you so happy,” Sharon said as she reached out to hug Tina goodbye. They had clearly turned a corner tonight, from workmates to friends. It was a relationship they were both happy to foster.

     

    “I’ve got a late night ahead of me,” Tina said with a sigh.

     

    “It won’t take you long to run through that contract,” Sharon waved off Tina’s concern quickly. “You’ve done these a hundred times.”

     

    “I hope you’re right,” Tina said. “And thanks for understanding about my standing you up this afternoon. You know that’s not me, right I just got distracted.”

     

    “Distracted,” Sharon laughed. “Is that what you kids are calling it these days?”

     

    “Okay, enough out of you, I have work to do.”

     

    “I’ll see you in the morning,” she was soon on her way down the hallway.

     

    __________

     

    “Alice are you sure you want to hear this?” Bette queried into the phone as she sat at her office desk surrounded by stacks of paper and artists’ catalogues.

     

    “Bette, I’ve honestly never seen you react this way to anyone,” Alice started. “And neither one of us reacted this way when we were in our brief but somewhat painful dalliance. We both know we’re better off as friends, and friends dish on new relationships.”

     

    Bette smiled at Alice’s succinct assessment of their short-lived turn at being more than friends.

     

    “Alice you know I love you like a sister” Bette began.

     

    “Please stop with the sister references, Bette,” Alice protested. “Sisters in Deliverance maybe, let’s not get carried away.”

     

    Bette laughed out loud.

    1. I love where this is going. The pace is good, not too fast but not too slow, either. Bette’s concerns about a relationship interfering with work are very realistic. Thanks, I can’t wait to see where you take us next. :)

    10. I loved the picture of Bette picking up the pen to stop her self twirling her hair around her finger, only to use the pen to doodle Tina’s name on her pad.
      Beautiful. Thank you

    13. I was thinking…. was Alice smoking weed?..”with the demotivational tool” phrase. But then you confirmed my suspicions with the “partaking of the herb” statement.LMAO
      That was lovely how you phrased it.
      Lovely chapter.

    15. Nice to see that Shar is now more than just a co-worker for Tina. She needs someone like her that she can turn to if the need arises.

      Who knew that Alice could be so lucid after firing up! I think her point about balance helped to make Bette feel more at ease in combining both work and a relationship. I also think that it was smart to point out that Tina is a busy woman as well, as was evidence when Bette wanted to see her the following evening.

      Bette caught herself contradicting her earlier comment to Alice…but will she heed it?

      Lovely story with a delightful rhythm to it. Looking forward to the next stage of their relationship.

    16. Another great chapter. I can relate to Bette’s concern about work, been there a time or two. Hard sometimes to concentrate. Looking forward to next chapter.

    19. This is one of my absolute favorites. I love the fact that their work is interrupting both of them (although Bette seems to be more bothered by it). It’s cute to see the first steps of their dating relationship and that T is not bothered by her switching to a woman now.

    21. JKS this is just heavenly. Reading your chapters gives me this goofy smile on my face. Congrats on your award. This story is sexy and steamy even when it is rated PG…now that’s the sign of a gifted writer.

    23. Yes, the mind is the ultimate erogenous zone. And relationships that originate in the mind are some of the most satisfying. Shared thoughts are a wonderful prelude for…

      Whatever.

      Tina, girl, I hear ya about the sore body!

      JKS- I’m glad you’re okay with the occasional prodding. You just pull this stuff out of your hat? I can see it. I can SEE what you’re talking about! Their interactions are so very real!

    26. This is such a great chapter…after such a wonderful weekend, the best thing to do is process it with a friend…and I loved that Tina called her at the gallery. I hope they get to see each other on Tuesday, if Monday is a no-go.
