Friendship Foundation Chapter 9
Story written on January 12, 2013 by justkeepswimming.
Eric rested with his eyes closed, enjoying the sensation of being inside her even after his orgasm left him entirely spent. She let an index finger trace a line down the center of his sternum towards his navel as she sat astride him with a self satisfied smile.
"That would have been a good way to end last night too," Tina said.
"Instead, you just fell asleep, frustrated as hell?"
Well, no in fact, she didn’t fall asleep frustrated at all. She fell asleep completely and utterly satisfied. But she certainly wasn’t going to admit to Eric what she’d done to alleviate her frustration. And she’d barely admitted to herself who she’d been thinking about while she did it.
Chapter 9
"What has gotten into you this weekend?" Eric asked.
He didn’t want to seem ungrateful but…damn. Tina had been all over him since she arrived the previous afternoon. He barely had time to recoup his energy when she was…well, again, he didn’t want to seem ungrateful.
"I missed you all week," Tina said. "I’m accustomed to seeing you more often. There are usually at least two nights during the week when one of us stays at the other’s place, and this week there weren’t any."
"Making up for lost time then?" he asked. "I like it."
"When are you going to want to head into work?" Tina asked.
It was Sunday morning. The trial’s second week was set to start the next day, and whether or not it appeared to be going their way, Eric was going to want to be as prepared as possible.
"I suggested we meet around noon," he replied. "That gives us time to have a late breakfast and I can still get to the office in plenty of time."
"I’m going to give Bette a call," Tina said. "See if she wants to do something this afternoon."
"I’m going to jump in the shower," Eric replied. "Let me take care of breakfast babe – don’t start anything."
Tina waited a few moments for the shower to come on. It’s just that she wanted a little bit of privacy. She had nothing to hide from Eric. They were having a wonderful weekend. There were things to work out. But being here seemed the same as it ever was.

It’s great to hear the little one is doing much better. The chapter is great. Poor Tina her subconscious is playing havoc with her everyday reality. Even though eric never matches up to Bette in any way Tina still has to come to terms with her feelings for what is traditional, comfortable and safe. Her waking hours are really confusing and she is not so sure especially when the green-eyed monster raised its head when Bette told her that she had a date. Love the story, keep up the good work Swimmie. Have a great weekend. Thanks for posting.
You know I love it.Thank you .PPS
JKS – You haven’t lost me…I’ve read every chapter and love each one. I actually like that you’re going into the details of Tina’s relationship with Eric. It gives us a deeper understanding of just how difficult Tina decision could be. Eric is really not a bad guy and Tina just hasn’t met the right “person” for her. Maybe she’s just been blocking her true feelings all these years. Love the pace of the story and glad Bette is letting Tina figure it out on her own. PPS! :)
The pages flew by to quickly. I can’t get enough of this story. Thanks!
Still here. I can’t believe I missed this posting. Tina doesn’t want to seem too eager even though she is, oh what to do, what to do. At least she has admitted to wanting to f**k Bette. Great post with the internal struggle.
I’m still here, too. And I really love this story. Thanks for posting ♥
I love this story and am looking forward to each and every posting! Tina can’t really have her cake and eat it too, life doesn’t work that way
Totaly enjoy your stories, take all the time you need to tell the story you want to tell. I for one will read to the end :)Thanks for sharing.
I am a bona fide fan. Great story, well told. Sharp, provocative dialogue. Just delicious!
Is Tina acting so amorous to convince herself of her heterosexuality? Or is she truly bisexual? Or is she going to walk on the wild side?
Tina is feeling too sexual just by being around Bette. I hope she realizes that soon. I don’t think we should rush her to drop her boyfriend all at once when her attraction to another woman is for the most part still terra incognito to her. Have a little patience, I say. This is turning out to be a perfect little tale of adventure and discovery. And thanks for this Eric. Terrible Eric is my absolute pet peeve in fanfic.
Great post swimmie (no emoicon, I’m using the PC). Well played on Bette’s part, intentional or not. Although, in some cases this tactic can also go in another direction. A direction in which Tina would feel dejected (without understanding why) and learn to bury the unexplored feelings. Of course this would only work if Tina were not the jealous type, but she is. This makes me happy and grateful that I learned to read and comprehend LOL. Thank you ;)
HahHa poor Tina
I just caught up with the last few chapters of this story. I love it. The way you describe what each of them is thinking is so realistic. I’m glad that Bette is hedging her bets by keeping herself open to a relationship with someone other than Tina. It seems to be causing Tina to see her own feelings more clearly.Can’t wait for the next post!
Hey JKS – i just got all caught up on teh last four chapters and I love it. love the pace, love the story, love it all. PPS!
Tina is slowly realizing she is hooked. Thanks for the update, enjoyed it
Would it be to much to ask for a post daily??? I’m sooooo hooked now!!!
Loving the story, loving the pace. PPS.
I think it’s important to understand Tina is physically attracted to Eric. It’s the cause of her present state of confusion. How could she be a lesbian if she has good sex with a guy? What makes her time with Bette different? It’s an important exploration of character.
thank you, my friday did improve a little. anyway, i was LMAO at this chapter. I really enjoyed Tina’s internal conversation with herself. i do it a lot, only out loud if no one is there LOL i can totally understand her struggle and now it’s like a game for them both. Can’t wait to see who will crack first
I see that Tina wants to have her cake and eat it too — perhaps a nice mocha cake is looking better than the golden variety with vanilla frosting, but there’s comfort in the familiar even if it’s a little boring… What to have for dessert is not always an easy choice. I’m definitely interested in where this story is going. Looking forward to your next post. Glad to hear the little one is feeling better – stay well.
It would be extremely amusing to “fry” Tina slowly. But Bette is in love and would never do that. It would be fun though… You write Tina’s frustration so well! After reading this chapter, I was equally frustrated.
JKS, you haven’t lost me! I love the slow burn on this story. Its more like real life. The title is “friendship foundation,” and many relationships, both straight and gay, can develop from friendship first. Your stories are always well written, with a great mix of both inner and outer dialogue, much like some of the famous ones on here (AllyEmmerson for example). Keep up the great work, and for all those who want instant gratification, I’m sure this story will be working up to a very steamy first time between out two ladies.
Jealousy is working somewhat in Bette’s favor, but there’s only so far that will ride out. Tina’s got some decisions to make, and her confusion about what she’s feeling for Bette is palpable. And then there’s the fear factor… Until Tina’s ready to first fully admit and then explore what she’s feeling, Bette’s life can’t come to a standstill. Great post, jks. Thank you! :)
I hit the”done” button, darn it! We’re getting Tina’s inner thoughts now. Love the layers love the realism. Loving the natural progression, both of them considering “will this love prove false?” I hope no one blinks and they will continue toward each other. Reading this arouses memories of the thrill of new love. Tina’s relationship with Eric makes the story more realistic as one woman’s transit on the continuum of sexual identity. I don’t think anyone sees a beautiful person of the same sex and immediately changes sexual orientation. Rather, I believe certain meetings along the path of one’s life can present opportunities and options. I am with you on this realistic path. Keep up the good work.
Tina is so hooked. And I am hooked on this story. I need more just like Tina needs more. She needs to end it with Eric before she gets pregnant. Pps
I’ll stop with the flip comments. The tone of Tina’s thoughts seem to indicate that she
I am really enjoying the comments for this story. I find them thoughtful and thought provoking. Reading those above gave me additional insight into the chapter. Thank you, fellow readers!
Excellent love how this story is written. Thank you
I’m still reading JKS. You haven’t lost me. I love how you’re letting Tina explore and examine her feelings. She’s coming around slowly. I like that it’s not a wham bam kind of story! Keep posting and I’ll keep reading.
Best line of Tina’s “Why does she have to be so fucking accommodating!”. That made me chuckle not because it was meant to be funny but because we’ve all been in a similar situation where whatever that person does we have to read into.
Another great update. Looking forward to your next post.
Your Tina is a perfect example why so many lesbian women don’t date bisexuals. How about you give us some sexy time between Bette and some girl, I really need some brain bleach after reading how Tina enjoys banging her bf.
You are too generous on providing us chapters of this story and I thank you for that. Your story, as always, is such a lovely read.
Thank you for sharing this story. I love it! Love all your stories by the way.
Once again late to the party. Ditto to all the comments as there’s not much that hasn’t been covered by everyone else. It simply one of the best stories on this site with the insight into each character’s perspective and perceptions of the growing intimate relationship. When a person believes in the mythology of relationships and gives in to society’s values and not their own, it takes a while for the truth to break thru the veil. Tina is slowly getting there. Bette also has to keep living her life. Thank you!
