If You Never Say Anything to Me
Chapter 16
The days leading up to my appointment were the longest days I could remember. They seemed to start and never end. I spent time with Alice at The Planet and she could tell that something was off with me but she couldn’t put her finger on it. For that, I thanked the Gods. Her asking a million questions probably would have pushed me over the edge. Instead, we sat around drinking too much coffee and talking about too many things of no substance. Shane joined us once and made me uncomfortable. She kept trying to steal glances at me and it seemed that I caught her each time. I’m sure she knows something and I didn’t want to know what she knew or how she knew it. I couldn’t imagine that Tina had said anything to her but I had a feeling that she knew much more than she let on.
Kit and I met for dinner and that was good. She has become such an integral part of my life and a good sounding board for me. We only discussed Tina for a few minutes and then talked about other things going on in our lives. She was seeing someone new and was excited at the possibilities. I was happy for her. She deserved someone good in her life. Her past track record of men left a lot to be desired but this one sounded good. For one, he had a job. That was not always a perquisite for her in the past. Not only did he have a job but he was an attorney. I had just taken a sip of my water and almost spit it out when she told me that one. He was in the firm that was doing some work for The Planet and her attorney had introduced them. It was still new and a lot of unknowns but from her smile and body language, she was happy.
Since seeing Tina at the club, I had been making a conscious effort not to drink. During the day, it was easy because I had never been drawn to drinking during daylight hours. I could go swim or read a book to take my mind off things but at night I was challenged. I painted to take my mind off it and I painted late into the night. I was happy with the results and she was proud of me for putting my energies into something less destructive. She asked to see my work. She had never asked before. She had always supported my efforts with anything that I did but the art was something that she didn’t understand. Her asking showed me again that we were at a different place in our lives.

yesss i’m first. i love your story but 2 months i hope those 2 months past very fast. pps
They have to wait for another 60 days before they can go out? Really? I wonder how they’ll pass the time. Can they e-mail each other? Would that be inappropriate? Thanks a lot for this update, NAG! :>
”Yes on August 23, I can almost guarantee that I won’t say no if you call and ask me out.” – Your Tina certainly does have a way with words ;-)
Is it August 23rd yet. Maybe if they happen to run into each other hanging with Alice and Shane it will help push things along.
I had to smile. Am I rigth, that Tina blushed, when Bette turns around with her killer-smile? I can see it, and therefor thank you.
Sure hope August 23rd gets here fast!!! Great Chapter
Such a great story. Are you going to fast forward the 2 months? I don’t think I could last 2 actual months. LOL. PPS.
Ugh…NAG that is harsh, 2 months! 2 months? Obviously you didn’t like my Wednesday, Thursday, Friday plan. Alrighty then I’ll just wait. I see some intersting interactions in the meantime with the four of them showing up at the Planet and such. Sorry you’re so busy…PPS.
No there is no waiting until 8/23. More than likely, the next post will be up today and it takes care of the 1st month.
Great chapter, Bette will really have to practice patience for the next two months to keep from calling Tina. Knowing that she is interested and will accept an invitation to go out with Bette will help a lot can’t wait for Augest 23. PPS
i am really loving your writing… tina really knows how to commit without actually committing…
Oh come on! Two months??? That’s ridiculous. Hope the time passes by fast for all of our sakes! LOL PPS
2 whole months…dayum that’s long but I have an easy fix….we should fast forward two months within a few chapters..lol. Great writing NAG can’t wait for the next chapter ;-)
What a great story. I agree with everyone else in asking, is it August 23rd yet? : )
I get so excited when I see there’s been an update to this one!!! I can’t wait until August 23rd… and I’m so glad I won’t need to wait long for July 23rd ;) Another great chapter NAG, I love the way you write :)
Everytime I think it isn’t possible to love this story more than I do, I get blown away by another incredible chapter! Just WOW! I am thankfully that you will be posting again soon and it will cover the first month. I am so glad I’m not in Bette and Tina’s shoes-the next 60 days would be a killer! I hope they run into one another at least once or twice – exchange a little dialogue, winks, glances, etc… PPS
POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOST!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!
NAG, fabulous update as usual! I sure hope Agust 23rd comes in only 2 chapters maximum. In those two though they could run into each other at the Planet with the gang right???? I can’t wait until you update again…you are magnificent!
Yes, they are moving forward. Even though they have to wait for two months before they can have an official date, I hope that they will be able to be in the same area when Shane and Alice hang out. That is a great way for them to get to know each other outside of the office and “the date”.
I hope 2 months goes by real fast!! i think they will run into each other. tina is gonna make an effort to stay away for a while. :)PPS
2 months? It’s great that Tina wants to honor her professional integrity, I totally respect that. 2 months is a long time. ;-) I’m glad Tina and Bette think what they could have is worth all of this. And glad we the readers won’t actually be waiting that long. Just caught up with this story now, enjoying it a lot so far! Thank you.
Okay, just jump forward two months and let Bette call Tina. Or let then go out with Shane and Alice and meet up. Let they get to know each other in the next two months. Shane and Tina and Bette and Alice. They can learn a lot about each other. thanks
Very well done and if you make us wait 60 days I will scream.
oooh Tina is so professional & checking out Bette’s ass…way to go TK.
