April 1999
The days leading up to the artist dinner at the Bette Porter gallery lagged on and on for Tina.
Half the time, she was on autopilot, day dreaming about the event and how it would feel to see Bette again…to stand in her presence and soak her in.
The other half she was so wired she could barely manage to sleep at night. She was averaging about 4 hours of sleep give or take, and when slumber did find her, she was greeted with Bette’s delicious smile in her dreams.
She felt like she was completely losing control of herself…but she also didn’t really seem to mind. She began to like the way she was feeling…so alert…so alive. She liked the way thoughts of Bette Porter made her feel. It was all so unfamiliar…and so strangely exciting. Yet, this alone also scared the shit out of Tina.
Work had been out of control busy for Tina, but she somehow found time to sneak out for a shopping break on Wednesday afternoon during her lunch break. She had on thing in mind…finding the consummate dress.
She walked up and down designer row, knowing exactly what she wanted but failing to find it. This time, she wanted to take Bette’s breath away, and not just any dress would do.
Suddenly, Tina stopped dead in her tracks. She stared intently into the shop’s window display for several moments before turning her body to face it full on.
The dress was mounted in a way that Tina could see the reflection of herself in the clear window, wearing the dress. She stood for awhile, considering how she could possibly ever pull off wearing a dress of this magnitude.
It was incredibly sexy…feminine…suggestive. It was perfect.
Tina suddenly felt reprehensible. What exactly was she trying to accomplish by wearing this dress? Did she not have a boyfriend??? A boyfriend who adored her…
Tina lowered her head, staring at the ground.
She knew Eric loved her. She just wasn’t sure she loved him back anymore. This wasn’t a recent development…they had been drifting apart for quite some time now. She had settled so deeply into the routine of the relationship that she had neglected to truthful to herself…she was not in love with Eric. Bette Porter had nothing to do with that. That was Tina’s fault…she owned that completely.
Tina took a deep breath and without another moment of hesitation, approached the shop door. She glanced one last time at the dress, waiting for her to wear. She bit her lower lip to suppress the smile creeping acoss her mouth.
Tina reached for the door and sashayed into the shop with a mission.
TBC
next time: the artist dinner…i promise;)

Can’t wait to see the renewed start of the fire within them both once they see each other in real life and not just their dreams! PPS and I hope you feel better soon:)
Looking forward to the artist’s dinner. Fire, if you’re sick, you’re sick. We can wait until you’re feeling better.
Thanks for posting! You really should rest and have some chicken soup and get better, but I appreciate your effort. Get well soon!
That was a very nice chpter,I love how Tina is coming to grips with the way she feels for Bette. I hope you get better soon get some rest and post when you get a chance.
Deeeelish! Do hope you feel better soon so you can keep rubbing those fire sticks of yours together. Truly bothered by this story in the best way possible. PPS
Feel better soon! Thank you for the post!
I hope you get to feeling better. I so loved this chapter. Thank you
I could almost see the gleam in inas eyes.plus the devilish smile. She is tired of just dreaming she wants the real thing. She admited that she doesnt love Eric. So the playing field is open. thanks
I’m sorry you feel pretty awful. I hope you feel better soon. Can’t wait for the artist dinner and for our girls to see each other again.PPS:)
Hope you feel much better very soon. Get your rest, eat some chicken soup it really is good for what ails you. This must be a killer dress. Please give us a full blown description when you tell us about the dinner etc. Post when you can.
Short, long, I appreciate anything you post…so thank you!!! And I hope you are feeling better…
You must rest if you are sick (that is the mom in me) and we will all be here ready to read when you feel better. I did enjoy the little chappy though…; )
Can’t wait for the artist dinner. PPS
PPS…FEEL BETTER : )
I hope Bette’s ready for Tina this time because I have a feeling she is going to be on the prowl. :)
That was great!
so wanna see Bette’s eyes pop out when she catches sight of T in that dress!!! Thx for posting.
Eric is gonna think that dress is for him,lol little does he know it’s for bette! :)
I’m agreeing with everyone else, we need a healthy firestarter, to keep the fire going strong! Thanks for being a trooper and giving us Tina’s shopping spree.
Ok Only because you promised, hahah… Very nice “short” chapter and no I couldn’t let it go, anyway I liked it so much, Tina truly shouldn’t feel giulty The attraction usually happens when the relationship is in danger, it’s a sign that everything isn’t working as it should, she tried right? she can’t pretend that it’s not there.Thanks dear and I hope you feel better
Ohhh you kill us sweetly. I have to say that I understand Tina though, it’s not so easy to be with someone and attracted to other, it’s much more complicated than just a relationship in danger. Anyway dying to see Bette’s reaction to the dress, bring it on! (when you can of course. let me just copy toby4ever words… if you’re sick you’re sick, just lay and rest sweetie).
hmmmmmmmmmm… i can’t wiat for the dinner.. bring it on
