If You Never Say Anything to Me
Chapter 21
It may have 2am when Bette and I got off the phone but I was too wired to sleep. I replayed the conversation we had just had. I thought back to being at dinner with Eric when she initially called. When I excused myself to go outside to take the call, I wasn’t thinking it was her. When I heard her voice, I felt warmth throughout my body. I hated to have to ask her to call her back but I couldn’t talk to her like I wanted to knowing that Eric was inside waiting for me. I was so happy that she was in for the evening and would welcome a call when I was finished. I walked back to the table, thinking that I would finish with Eric and then go home and call her. I wasn’t expecting his calling me on the call as soon as I arrived at the table.
“Can I take it from that smile that would be a woman that you have an interest in?” he asked with a smile of his own.
“What? Umm…maybe. Yes. She and I have not gone out but I think when I call her back later, she’s going to ask me out.”
“Tina that’s great. You really like her don’t you?”
“Eric, this isn’t fair to you. I don’t want to get into this and hurt you.”
“Tina, remember I’m asking you the questions. I’m ok. I love you and want you to be happy. I may not initially have wanted us to break up but I do know that you were right. We were friends at the end and nothing more. I’m your friend now and wouldn’t be asking you anything if it hurt me. I am truly happy for you if this is what you want. Your smile tells me it is.”
“Thank you Eric. She is someone I want to know more about. I’m excited at the thought of a date with her but a little scared.”
“Why are you scared?”
“I’ve never been out with a woman. I know it probably is similar to a date with a man but it’s new and frightening.”
“It’ll be fine. Get the date first and then call Shane. She has enough experience and she can tell you what you need to know. This is what you want and need to do. Don’t be scared Tina. It’s going to all be ok.”

I love that Tina is not threatened by Bette’s admirers. BTW, can Tina come in for a night cap ;) Great story, PPS
nice one…looking 4ward to the follow up.
Oh NAG you little devil…I just knew it was going to end just as they kissed! That was an exceptional update…you are too much. So, what happens after the kiss…it’s surely too soon for nookie…they’ve only spent 11 hours together! Whatever it i, I know it will be great, ’cause you’re writing it.
Ahh…the first date and the first kiss! I can’t wait to hear the story from Bette’s perspective. I whole-heartedly support Bette asking Tina in for a nightcap… Thank you for updating the story so soon!
Hahhaha I knew you were going to stop there “barely at the kiss”. Bravo to Tina feeling secure even with Bette admirers lurking about.
it’s a wonderful story…but did you have to end it there?!!! lol…. pps
And so it begins… So satisfying, NAG. Thanks for the post.
Love this,but did you have to end it there?? The comfort they have together,Hope they become friends a while before they become lover. thanks
Wonderful update, NAG. Loved it, of course, I always love your stories. You write our girls so very well and you always show their undying love and respect for each other. This was a great first date and surely Bette will invite Tina in for a nightcap and also t show her the pool since she has invited her to use it whenever she wants. PPS
I look forward to each and every post from you. I love the dialog in your stories. PPS
I love seeing a new chapter in this story! This is my favorite right now and that’s saying a lot because I love your other one too.
Really loving this story and the frequent posts. You’re a terrific writer.
Heck she turned the car off she should have let her walk her to the door for that kiss and asked her in for another coffee to make sure she doesn’t fall asleep on the way home.
mmmm…that felt good
wow love it! perfect 1st date… can’t believe you stopped with the kiss – actually, I can, I knew you would ;) I love the pace of this fic and their relationship. Looking forward to… what happens after the kiss? the 2nd date? Love your work!
as nervous as tina was the date was huge success. i love those kinda casual dates. it was nice that bette was honest about some of exs where at the reading…tina seems to be comfortable with herself which is a good start. i know she has a ways to go but she didn’t go run off and hide!:)PPS
Very interesting first date – “here Bette try a slice of my life and interests and I’ll cook and thenerve you cake for dessert”. Very relaxed and cool first kiss. but you are a bit of a tease for leaving us there.
Lovely! So sweet – – like reliving some of those first dates with the thrill and anticipation of things to come!
Since it’s so late why don’e you stay the night Tina! lol PPS
Almost Perfect. Perfection would be going on after the first kiss. LOL. PPS.
Oh, don’t you just hate it when the bloody blue button doesn’t work! Sorry I’ve not commented before but I love your stories! Although to end like that is just plain cruel! PPS
1st Eric is a great person and truly a friend to be able to put aside his own pain for Tina’s happiness. 2nd the date was well worth it and I can’t wait to see how it will actually end. PPS
First date, first kiss, any other firsts? A reading by Radclyfe alone would have got them going.
Oh NAG, I finally got caught up with this story and you leave me hanging. VERY NICE chapter, but when does Tina get a tour of Bette’s house and a swim in the pool? PPS :o).
loved it! can’t wait for thier second date!
very nice… and i also think tina should go in for a night cap… maybe a moon light swim… love that they are being honest with each other… now let the romance begin… PPS
oh, ok so we can’t be sitting in the car all night kissing, WHAT HAPPESS NEXT? Thank you L. Md
Wow, what a great idea. I figured that Tina would cook because that is Tina, but the reading was something new. I loved the laid back version of a date. The kiss was the icing on the delious chocolate cake. I would have loved a piece.
