    Author Notes:

    Tina gets to Bette’s the day after the night before. (B/T beginning)

    Tina glanced at the clock in her office again. It was only five minutes later than the last time she had checked. She sighed. The day was shaping up to be unbearably long. She couldn’t stop herself from thinking about Bette, what they had done, and what it meant.

    She sat with her hand in her palm, absentmindedly doodling on a piece of paper and lost in a daydream about Bette. They were eating a dinner by candlelight, and Bette was rubbing her foot over Tina’s leg while she chewed a piece of lobster… Tina slapped her pen down on her desk and gave herself a good mental shake. She was a professional woman with a successful career, not a twelve year old with a crush.

    But I feel like a twelve year old with a crush. Tina rolled her eyes at herself and looked at the clock again. Five more minutes had passed. Yes!

    Someone knocked at the door and Tina nearly jumped out of her skin. She took a moment to collect herself before she called “Come in!”

    A curly mass of red hair peeped around the corner. “Hey! Can I come in?”

    “Sure Leigh, come on in.” Leigh was a friend, but not a particularly close one. She was the first acquaintance Tina had made when she started working at Alphaville. She was a smart girl and an attractive one, but somehow Tina had never allowed herself to get very close with her. There was something about the woman that Tina didn’t really trust.

    Leigh entered the office, peeking at the paper Tina had been doodling on before sitting down on the other side of the desk. “Busy, huh?”

    “Oh,” Tina said, flushing. She took the paper and shoved it under a script. “I’m just distracted.”

    Leigh cocked her head and studied her. “What’s the problem?”

    Tina shook her head. “It’s nothing. Did you want to see me about something?”

    “As a matter of fact, I did. I was going to ask if you and Eric wanted to double with me and Rex tonight. We were going to check out that new comedy down at the Wilshire, Holiday from Veal. A friend of mine is in one of the starring roles and I can score as many tickets as I want. Oh, and maybe grab a bite beforehand?”

    1. Now I’m in love with the story. I get the romantic side of everyone, wanting them to open up and etc but they just met! I’m a true believer of the whole “taking it slow” thing. It seems more real. I can’t imagine Bette being the kind who would happily admit she’s in love within a week or so. And it’s the first time Tina’s with a woman, it would be only human to feel insecure especially given the player she fell for. This is the Tibette begnning I’ve been looking for so long. Keep it up.

    3. OK, I think you’re doing a fabulous job with this–I can see both Tina and Bette acting exactly like this at the beginning. I would have liked to know Tina’s response to their intimacy. NO, I don’t mean that you needed a fullblown NC17 chapter, not at all. But perhaps some internal thoughts about the night they spent together. Because we all do know how different–perhaps even overwhelming– it must have been for her. Sorry if this seems critical, its not meant to be. Its just that you’re doing such a wonderful job of painting this Tina and her internal life, I’d like to know more. THanks for this story; its really very special.

    4. really enjoying this story i think this is quite like real life, you’re not gonna open up and confess how you feel after seeing someone twice and sleeping with them twice, i’m loving how this fic is playing out at the minute, i’m sure bette is having the same insecurities as tina!

    5. i read your last chapter at work and for some reason i couldn’t leave a comment… anyway… Pagash is so right,,, its so typical of B&T not to talk… hoepfully this will change… after breakfast tina should say whats on her mind… loving your beginning…PPS

    7. A fascinating beginning you’re creating for us, omalley. The window you’re giving us into Tina’s internal journey is so interesting. Thank you and PPS!

    9. Maybe Tina is right, slower would be better for all concerned. However, we know with the first blush of romance, slow is not one of the things some people think of. I can imagine how Tina feels, she is loving what is happening but at the same time is scared out of her gourd. After all, Bette is th eone with experience and she is not, at least with women. I really think Tina at least needs to tell Bette how she feels, I think Bette will understand and slow down for Tina’s sake. I don’t believe we’ve seen this beginning written and it is much needed, thanks for doing it. Really like this story. PPS

    10. Loved the length of the chapter and the unspoken internal dialogue. Bette speaking fluid French? Now that would be something to hear — particularly in a non-business venture. Woo!

    13. Another good chapter omalley! Really both of them have had over reactions to everything…maybe since they jumped right away into a sexual relationship they just don’t know enough about each other. That’s O.K….I’m sure that you will remedy this in the upcoming chapters.

    20. Dainty is right. “Slow” is never one of the words that comes to mind when I think of new love. Oh sure I might think, “Yeah I’m gonna take it slow,” but it never happens. I mean, really, what defines slow? Not having sex till at least 2 months of dating? Not moving in together till after 2 years of dating? Slow is different things for different people, but slow is definitely now what I would call this story. PPS!

    23. I loved how you portrayed Tina’s struggles during the dinner date and during the meeting at The Planet. You’re doing a fantastic job with this, and I’m enjoying it immensely. Thank you so much for the story :)

    24. BTW – you are already on my list of favorite authors, but I don’t recall your previous work. It’s obvious from the quality of your writing in this story that there is great cause for you to be there. Thanks!
