    Friendship Foundation Chapter 5

    Bette didn’t struggle with the thought for long. So what if Alice thought she was interested in Tina. Alice didn’t really have a say any longer, and Bette had no intention of actively pursuing someone that was in a happy relationship anyway. They were friends. If she wanted to call her for lunch, she would.
    "Hey Tee," Bette greeted Tina’s voice with the term of endearment she’d started using. "I was phoning to see if you’re free for lunch tomorrow."
    "I only have an hour – I wouldn’t be able to meet you anywhere," Tina wished she could spare more time. She’d seen Bette only the day before, but every time they met, they realized they had even more in common. 
    "I’ll be in your neighborhood," Bette replied. "I can bring something to your office."
    "That sounds like a nice break from a hectic day," Tina replied. She hesitated before she spoke again. "Bette, can I ask you something?"
    "Of course, anything," Bette replied.
    "How does Alice feel about all this time we’re spending together?"
    "We made our break up official on Saturday," Bette replied. "I haven’t talked to her since then."
    "Oh, I’m sorry," Tina was taken aback at the news.
    "Nothing to be sorry about," Bette said. "She initiated the conversation and we agreed for the sake of our friendship it was time to move on."
    "So, now you’re back to being friends?" Tina was interested in how this dynamic would play out.
    "We’ll get there," Bette said. She was surprised she hadn’t heard from Alice yet. But it was only Monday. 
    "Do you want to talk about it?" Tina offered.
    "I hope we can get there," the sadness came through in Bette’s voice.
    "I’ve never dated someone I was friends with first," Tina didn’t know what to say to console her obviously distraught friend. "I think I’d be too scared to lose the friendship."
    "It’s harder than I thought it would be," Bette admitted. "But it’s only been two days. I have to give her more time."
    "You can’t call her? I thought she initiated the conversation?"
    "Only because she could tell I thought it was inevitable," Bette said. "She wasn’t there yet."

    1. That was some delicate testing of the waters, there. Bette’s efforts to put in a good word for Eric seem to be exposing his shortcomings instead. And thus things progress… subtly. Thanks for taking the time to post. :)

    2. This is a real world story! So happy this time Bette has the integrity to not hit at someone who is in a relationship. The dialogues are delightful. I feel like eaves dropping!

    3. Realistic dialogue and situations. Bette almost seems uncomfortable or unsure of herself in this developing relationship. Or maybe she is waiting for Tina to have an epiphany? Just enjoying every chapter.

    4. I have to say that I would never venture in that direction with a UFF (unidentified flying female). Especially with a friend. Kudos to Bette and you too swimmie 🐠

    5. Ah, the tricky waters of falling for a friend, difficult to navigate the potential for reward is great – but so is the risk, it takes courage. Women do have this amazing ability to stay friends. Thanks for the update, I like how this tale is swimming along.

    6. Thanks for another wonderful chapter. Loving the comments from the other readers too. Your little messages are certainly coming thru ‘everything a purpose & a purpose behind everything’… very well written and certainly most enjoyable reading. Fantastic!
