"Damn" Bette exclaimed aloud as she became more awake and glanced around the room. "Tina?" she raised her voice in hopes that Tina was still wandering around the house getting ready for the day. There was no reply. "God damn it." She slammed her clenched fist down on the surface of the bed, the bed where she expected to have Tina by her side. She walked into the kitchen and spied the note on the table. She walked over and picked it up with what could only be described as a scowl on her face. She felt the tension melt away as she read it.
"Babe, I know it’s only Tuesday, but we have to start planning ahead if we hope to see each other before we enter a retirement home. Saturday is date night. No excuses. I’m making the plans. Be ready to go at seven. T"
Tina walked back into her office after the Board Meeting ended. She picked up the phone to make a call, and instead took the message that was waiting for her.
The smile spread across her face as she heard the message.
"Thanks for the note this morning Tee. I know you have a crazy day todayso do I. But I wanted to let you know I’m putting my imagination to work thinking of the ways I’m going to drive you to the edge of sanity on Saturday."
They had been living together for over a year. The first months had been characterized by one word: togetherness. They both made every accommodation for the other by shifting schedules, declining business trips and avoiding evening meetings. Gradually, they both came to appreciate how unrealistic it was for them to constantly be putting their careers on the back burner. One meeting at a time, one business trip at a time, their schedules had become less and less compatible. They still saw each other, but they were both so tired when they did interact, that often the result was simply a dinner together and an early bedtime.
Tina deleted the message and then awaited the dial tone to call Bette at the gallery.
"Bette Porter," came the voice on the other end of the phone.

Your B&T “snippets” are amazing and highlight the best parts of being a couple… this situation is SO Realisitic. Sure you have to work a little harder and make some compromizes… but the rewards are worth it. Who wouldn’t love to put a little surprise in someone’s lunch time. ;) I’ll be having my lunch break tomorrow from 12:30 to 1:30 eastern in case anyone’s interested. ^^
I for one prefer the posts when your snippest run in a small group to complete an idea. But I’ll take your writing anyway you need/ want to give it to us.
wow that sure was an appetizer!
rrr what a passion
make it goodddd ;)
Bring on the NC-17!!!
Crack. Me. Up. Have to tell you my favorite line: “Did we establish a dress code that I haven’t been made aware of?”
These two display an incomprehensible amount of self-control. Swim, I just don’t see how you’re going to avoid the inevitable…
Ah can’t wait to see Saturday night and yes bring on the NC-17. Ok post soon please, thanks!
At this point in time, aren’t Bette and Tina in their twenties? Much energy and no need for sleep right? LOL.
Having the opportunity to read your work is a blessing. Thank you for considering the feelings of your reading audience.
“NC17, NC17, NC17” I’m just following the lead….and I will personally take more postings over longer chapters. Thank you for the great story.
WooHoo! Oh! huh! LMAO! Oh! Gosh hurry up I can’t WAIT Bring it ON LOL! Thanks!
Excellent as always. I like you to post any time you like and as often as you like. OK that’s a lie. I like you to post every day LOL I like a couple of chappys together to make the whole.
Oh, I’m so looking forward to mid-week appetizer and date night. This snippet allow us to see two people who are so much in love working hard at their relationship even though it feels like they are running an obstacle course. However, it’s nothing that a little planning won’t take care of. That’s just life!!
It’s sad to see that down the road they will let the obstacles take over their lives, whereas once, they were consciously working to get around them. But for now, let’s enjoy the bliss.
JKS, however you serve up these snippets, I will be waiting patiently cuz I know the wait is well worth it. Thanks.
2 MONTHS?!?!..lol
NC-17 NC-17 NC-17!!!!!!!!!!
this story is so sweet and…hot Please continue!
hmmmmmmmmmmm… reading on
JKS…here’s a little Snippet for you. I’ll gladly read this story in whatever format you utilize. Love your writing!!!
NC17, NC17, NC!7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Fins, How frustrating. for both of them. Are people really this busy? If so, I consider myself very lucky that I don’t work in such a high pressure/time demanding field. I think I like the more frequent, shorter chapters…but that is me.
JKS, I love these little “snippets”, whether they are single chapters or go on for a few. This is such a realistic situation for them to be in (unfortunately), and it’s great to see them recognizing that they are at a fork in the road, and trying to take the right path. As much as I would love to have the opportunity to read one of your amazing NC-17 chapters at the conclusion of this period of angst, I certainly understand that life isn’t always conducive to writing those things, and whatever you decide to do will be fine with me. I’ll still be here trying to wait patiently for the next installment. :)
mmmmmmmmmmmm jks very good. readin on
VAN – lets get all chanting NC17, NC17, NC17. do you think jks will take the hint?
“…been since we…had some quality time together.”
“the wheels were turning as to how she might plan a brief rendezvous at the gallery, worthy of being called an appetizer to saturday nights main course.” what a beautiful mind, tina.
“im the woman whose name youre going to screaming this saturday.” hell yeah!
“how did the last two months disappear on us.” aawwwww.
“do you have time?” i do, if tina doesnt.
what a decision. more or longer. thats too much to ask my brain to do this early in the morning. I.love.this.story. and i love how you write it. thanks.
Cannot wait for Tina’s lunch……..
love this snippets…more, short long, just more :)
Almost a quickie…and, being more selfish than Bette…I’d have gone for it. However…here’s to the hoped-for-longie scheduled for the weekend.
Same as Van and Albeez – NC17, NC17, NC17 !!!! Please :o))
I prefer shorter posts closer together and max. 2 too 3 chapters pr. story.
I’m looking forward to the next…
I just adore your writing style, you have one of the finest awareness’ to detail I have ever encountered. You never waste words, every one so finely used in your story. Thank you, … simply wonderful.
My choice, …. post long and often – was that an option ? …
That was great
I very much enjoy these insights that you are providing us. There is a truth that resonates on some level to most I would venture to say.
It’s always frustrating when life intrudes on romance. Thankfully, Tina took the bull by the horns and reinstated ‘date night’. Even better is Bette realizes as well the need to make time for each other. Two months ia a long time, but getting a handle of their lack of quality time together now will help bring them back together. That should help to illustrate just how easily it could get out of hand if they don’t work at it now.
Snippet away…long, short or medium…often or whenever you can…whatever you want to do is fine with me!
wooow..cant wait to see Tinas little surprise over lunch..it will be hot for sure.ok great chapter post soon
