For the majority of dinner Bette remained silent. It was almost as though she were a fly on the wall, although she could be sure that the general small talk was for her benefit, and not necessarily the way that the conversation would be going if she wasn’t there.
"So, you’re a city trader, huh?" Bette tried to join in the conversation, and at least seem like she was making an effort with Eric, much as it pained her.
"That’s right" Eric was definitely not forthcoming.
"Must make you a decent wage"
"I do ok"
"He’s just being modest. He does really well, don’t you honey" Tina rested her hand on Eric’s arm, and Bette just stared, wishing that it was her skin that was making contact with Tina’s.
"You two never told me how you know each other" Eric changed the subject quickly.
"Oh, me and Tina go way back" Bette answered quickly before Tina could say anything "High School. Both got screwed around by the same guy. Then realised that we were both better off without him, and in fact, men in general" Bette flashed a smug smile.
"Really" Eric finished his food and sat back "I thought you never dated in High School honey?"
"Just once. I don’t know if you’d even really call it dating. And he was such an asshole that I didn’t think it worth trying again. Right Bette?"
"Right. Stick with the girls and you have a much better time" Tina struggled to read the look on Bette’s face. Either she was a really good actress, playing the woman who just left a relationship, or there was something really bothering her.
"Well, dinner was delicious as always babe" Eric stood up to clear the plates.
"Thank you" Tina smiled.
"Yeah, it was great Tina. If you don’t mind, I’m gonna head up to my room now?"
"Ok, if you’re sure. I’ll check in on you later" Tina said gently.
If only you meant it, thought Bette as she climbed the stairs.

At the end of the working day Carmen had invited all the admin department out for a drink. Tim declined, saying he had to get home to his wife and baby, but Lara and Marcus agreed.

Eric did it. Oh wait Eric wants to do it..Insurance money maybe?Good way for him to get out of here and let you get on with Our TiBette.. Great story.
I’m enjoying the story and I also think that its Eric behind it.Maybe something did happen between Tina and Lara and that’s why she let her stay.Interesting tale.PPS.
Wow B&T’s first kiss is sweet. Yeah I also think is eric behing this and hope Bette will kick his ass soon and she and Tina can be together. Anyway please post soon, thanks!
They will really need each other sooner than later. The kiss was so sweet. Eric wouldn’t say much about his job.Hope he can’t get Tina insurance.Surely she not that stupid to have him on it. thanks
stomach problems….now B is gonna have to cook and pack lunches or over see what T eats and from who…..man. Did Tina have a lesbian relationship b4 or something.

Can I suspect Eric? Just the hesitation over his job thing.. Hmm.. Seems suss to me. Great job! I’m liking this a lot :) Post soon, ADx
Whoa! If Tina is so good at reading people why can’t she read herself. She is obviously struggling with how Bette makes her feel, let’s remember she is the one that initiated the kiss then again it might be that she is just upset by what happened with that jerk Eric. PPS
Nice, the first Kiss. Peggy thinks that Lara oder Marina would like see Tina dead. I also have a bad feeling of Eric. Can I hvae for today one another Chapter PLEASE!
