Wednesday, three months later
“I think I should start dating again,” Tina said, as looked up from her side of the sofa. She and Bette were watching TV tonight. Her roommate was home early more often, ever since she sold her gallery to the Peabody Foundation and became the full-time dean of the California University’s Art School. That meant Bette made her fantastic dinners three out of five times a week, much to the delight of Tina’s stomach. Bette glanced at her, and then went back to the TV.
“You’re still okay with men coming into your house, right? You know, just in case?”
Bette smiled and shook her head, chuckling. “Well, aren’t we a little predatory.”
“No, I’m just clearing it with you, you know,” Tina explained, moving Bette’s arm to force the brunette to look at her. “I just feel like the time is right and I could go out again.”
“Do you want me to write you a reply slip?” Bette asked, turning to look at her.
“No,” Tina drawled out. “I just want you to say yes.”
“It’s a yes, then,” Bette said, drinking her Pellegrino. “Whatever makes you happy.”
Tina then reached over and hugged Bette tightly. “You’re the best housemate ever.”
Don’t I know it, Bette thought, shaking her head as Tina put an arm around her and squeezed her, as she continued watching Deal or No Deal on TV. I’m the reliable one.
“She’s going out,” Helena said, as they all sat on Alice’s bed. It was Friday night and there was nothing else to do except to hang-out at Alice’s place. “And you’re here.”
“What?” Bette asked, as she took a swig of her beer. “What do you want me to do? Make her dinner? Light up a few candles? Watch her canoodling with some smarmy bloke?”
“No,” Shane interjected, as she finished off her third can. “You should be there instead, making her dinner, lighting up the candles, and canoodling with her instead of the bloke.”
“You’re losing your mojo, Porter,” Alice said, shaking her head. “To a straight girl.”
“She’s not just a straight girl, okay,” Bette replied, slighted. “She’s a good person.”

In four each should be able to see how the other feels. Tina is always giving Bette a hug. Did she ever just keep her in her arms and kiss her. Do we call them women of steel? Love this,story Post soon.
It’s like one big waiting game alright, but I’m enjoying the journey. PPS.
Really enjoying this story..something’s gotta give, and soon!
Keep it coming I am enjoying the story
u didn’t disappoint me afterall they both had an eiphany. they just need to talk but guess they’ll just get drunk and then fall into each other’s arms…seems like they are both avoiders…who need their friends to do an ‘intervention’…pps
Great story.I cant help but remember a friend crush of my own with the whole drunk as a skunk scenario:-)cant wait to see how long they can keep it secret and if they will end of telling each other about their feelings …..in rehab;-)
great chapter… please post soon…
I love your story!
wondering what the next installment will bring us. Enjoying it!
Amazing story! PPS!!!
You have drawn a wonderful parallel between the two of them. Both too fearful to take the next step. I can’t wait to see who finally is courageous enough to take the risk. My bet is on Tina…PPS!
oh im ever so giddy. more?
Yep, they both need to just spit it out! Bette needs to take Tina 3 Tylenol’s for her hangover and have a chat. Love this story!
Somebody’s got to make the first move…who will it be? Love this story! PPS
Nice update sounds like they need the gang’s intervention to get them together! :)PPS
Maybe Alice just needs to blurt out what she thinks and make Bette and Tina deal with the consequences. :)
Someone need to do something!
