Ready When You Are Ch.16
Bette stormed into her office and slammed the door shut behind her.
"Fuck!"
She took a deep breath and massaged her aching temples. Her day had not got off to a good start.
The brunette tugged her arms out of her suit jacket as she crossed the room, discarding the garment onto the couch. She made her way around the desk and slumped down into her chair, slowly closing her eyes as she tried to calm herself down.
As soon as Bette had arrived at the gallery that morning, she was met with a barrage of requests, rearrangements and reschedules that hadn’t made her life any easier. Her long, weekend vacation had definitely come at a price.
But the main cause of the brunette’s frustration was the absence of her girlfriend.
Tina hadn’t called yet this morning, and after a few goes at trying to reach the blonde and getting her voicemail, Bette had become restless.
Now the brunette was taking it out on everyone around her.
She reluctantly opened her eyes and grabbed her cellphone off the desk.
No new messages.
"Great.." She muttered, dropping the phone into her bag.
Bette idly tapped her fingers on the surface of the desk. She had a mountain of paperwork to catch up on, but her mind was distracted. She decided she needed to take a break, especially after the hectic morning she’d had.
She stood up from the desk and grabbed her bag, heading out her office and up to the front desk. Bette smiled slightly, seeing the fear etched into James’ face as she approached.
"James, I’m going for lunch." Bette said, casually walking past the desk and towards the front entrance.
"Erm..okay, I’ll take messages." James replied cautiously, not daring to remind his boss about the mounting pile of work in her office.
"Thank you James." Bette called over her shoulder as she disappeared out through the doors.
She was glad to get some fresh air to clear her head as she walked down the street. The gallery seemed to be suffocating her.
Usually when work became too much to handle, Bette would call Tina. The blonde’s voice was able to soothe the brunette when nothing else could. She really needed her right now.

And what happened……. This is torturing me. B&T need to get back together again. They are both miserable. Great update. PPS.
Aww poor girls. That’s so sad, they’re both battling with their own little misery. I hope they can talk soon and Tina can be back in Bette’s arms. That will be a great relief for both of them. Thanks for posting!
They are so miserable apart. I can understand Tina trying even though she knows that nothing will change with her father. I hope that they hear the others voice soon.
Get Tina a better battery in her phone and talking to Bette! PPS
the girls seem to be having an awful time without each other.
New love is too cute, how they miss each other when they are apart! TEE needs to phone home. I don’t trust Tina’s family one bit though, dying or not.
I hope they connect soon this silence is torture! I also hope Tina’s family will be kind but where would the drama be if they were PPS
Aww, so heart breaking when they are apart….hope they get together or at least talk very soon. Thanks for the post. pps
I can’t believe Tina hasn’t called Bette yet! I know she’s got a lot going on, but wouldn’t you want to talk to your girlfriend. and poor Bette is going outta her mind with worry. Hope they get to see each other very soon! PPS:)
Have this gut feeling Tina’s dinner won’t go well… would be glad if I was wrong though ;) Please let her call Bette. PPS!
They just need to be together. Tina is just going to make herself miserable by going to dinner and Bette is miserable just sitting in LA. pps
Tina needs to get a new battery or a cord for re-charging and in a hurry too. They are both miserable and missing each other like crazy. Of course, Tina’s parents don’t make it any better by being silly. Tina’s father may as well give up trying to get Tina to change her mind and leave Bette. He just doesn’t understand that his demanding love is no longer that powerful and tht nothing would make Tina leave Bette. Poor crazy man. Thanks for posting.
Great update! Hope they will talk soon they are both missing each other so bad! :) Thank you!
