Ready When You Are Ch.26
Tina had left Bette’s house in a rush. She waited on the doorstep for her cab to arrive, and ten minutes later it pulled up beside the sidewalk.
She piled her luggage next to her and sat down in the leather seat, leaning her head back against the head-rest.
"So, where to?" The driver asked, staring at the blonde in the mirror.
She wasn’t sure whether to head straight home. She didn’t feel annoyed at Bette, more confused, a sense of unease had settled in the pit of her stomach. She felt like she maybe just needed to talk to someone about it.
Tina leaned forwards slightly to give the cab driver Alice’s address.
She had been to her apartment once before a few weeks back, after helping Bette escort home a particularly drunken Alice. She knew that she would probably be home, seeing as she was a free lance journalist. She didn’t really know who to talk to when it came to the brunette, but out of all Bette’s friends, Alice probably knew her the best.
Tina paid the cab driver as he placed the last of her bags by the side of the building.
She scanned her finger over the buzzers, searching for Alice’s name. Once it was located she pressed the small button, leaning against the wall as she awaited a reply.
"Hello?"
Tina frowned as an unfamiliar voice echoed through the speaker. Maybe she’d pressed the wrong one..
"Umm hey…Alice?"
"Oh, right…no this is Dana, Alice isn’t here right now."
Tina let out a soft chuckle as she leaned forward towards the speaker.
"Hey it’s Tina…I just, I came round to speak to Alice about something…but it doesn’t matter i’ll come back another time." She said, turning round to grab the strap of one of her bags.
"No, no wait."
Tina turned back round as she heard a shuffling sound down the intercom.
"She should be back soon, i’ll buzz you in."
Before she could reply, the door to the building buzzed open. Tina turned back round towards the door and kicked her bag into the reception area, swinging another one over her shoulder.
"Hey!"
Tina turned her head towards the stairwell, chuckling as a smiling Dana approached her.
"Hey." She smiled, dropping her bag down on the floor.

Dana’s level-headed… Tina got a kind listener without all the hyper excitement and inability to keep a secret that comes with Alice. Bette maybe kinda made the wrong choice earlier, but I think the ensuing talk and making up might rectify her mistake. Thanks for the post, Hardy. :)
Great update. Little bit of drama, but it is all good. Looking forward to more.
Oh cool, Bette may give into her desires after all. Loved the interaction between Dana and Tina.
I like Tina/Dana friends,…I don’t think I have ever read where someone went to Dana outside of Alice. That was nice..
So resultsonly slides into the top spot as first place poster {frustrated sigh}. LOL @ your author’s note! For the record, I am a long haired brunette *looking around…not that there’s anything wrong with being bald* Loved the chappie! I like that Alice is kept out of the loop and Tina confided in Dana (most like to sometimes write her as a goofy character – me included!). I hope that Bette puts the pedal to the metal (I’m talking a hefty speeding ticket!) and races over to Tina to make things right. Now we readers are eagerly awaiting the next chapter which will come very soon…right Hard-tyz? {I swear if I find a paint brush at your place…}
DAM — brwnsuga (aka Thumper) has topped me too! That’s it, I’m outta here… LOL!
Dana sounded rational. Bette needs to tell Tina how she feels and that this new relationship is new to her. Tina needs to give Bette a little time to adjust, she is good for Bette. Great update. Please continue.
I’m hoping the next chapter will come as quickly as it takes Bette to speed over to Tina’s apartment! Like today, maybe??? LOL Please post soon!
Glad that Dana was there for Tina when she needed a friend. Many thanks for the awesome update, Hardyz. pps.
Great advice Dana. and I’m glad Bette’s seeing the light a little! PPS:)
I’m glad Dane was there for Tina. Let Bette loosen up and go for it. PPS
Great update. I like the Tina/Dana friendship as well. Go Bette Go – go see Tina and tell her how you feel. Thank you :)
