    Friendship Foundation Chapter 10

    Bette set the book she was reading down on the coffee table before she stood to answer the door. 
    "Hey Tee," Bette said. "I was going to remind you I said to just come in but…can I take something?"
    Tina passed a grocery bag to Bette, and then followed her into the kitchen.
    "I have to go to New York tomorrow," Tina said. "I talked to my boss just before I left the office."
    "That’s good timing," Bette replied. "I mean, at least Eric is still busy with the trial this week. What’s taking you out of town?"
    "The Board of Directors wants a practical perspective on what a merger with a larger studio might result in," Tina replied. "I leave in the morning."
    "You should have brought what you needed for the trip," Bette said. "I could have driven you to the airport from here in the morning."
    "Bette," Tina paused, as if assessing Bette’s intentions. "I can’t stay over."
    "Why not?" Bette asked innocently.
    Tina shook her head.
    "I have a driver coming to pick me up in the morning," Tina finally said. "A ride to the airport isn’t necessary."
    "How long will you be gone?"
    "I’ll be back Friday afternoon," Tina replied. "I haven’t even had a chance to talk to Eric yet. Do you mind if I use your phone?"
    "Help yourself."
    It became apparent that Tina was leaving a message rather than talking to him. She returned to the kitchen and started unpacking the ingredients for dinner. 
    "Not answering?" Bette asked.
    "I’m sure they’re out for dinner after the day in court," Tina replied. "I would have been more surprised if he picked up."
    "And I’m here about to get a home cooked meal," Bette said. "Lucky me."
    "There’s wine…that one," Tina pointed to a particular bag. "Why don’t you open it while I get things started."
    "You thought of everything," she observed. Bette walked by Tina and let her hand run across her shoulders as she made her way past.
    Tina glanced over at her as she stepped by her.
    "Bette."
    "Yes?"
    "Don’t."
    Duly admonished, Bette let her gaze drop away from making eye contact with Tina.

    1. A few more things: I love the cooking scene’s allusion to the famous Stir-Fry Sex in Season 5. Something was definitely cooking in Bette’s kitchen aside from those yummy-sounding vegan fare. It’s the second time we’ve seen Tina regroup, regain her composure in the kitchen. Interesting. Now that their mutual attraction and lust have been established and subtly acknowledged, I wonder what will be the turning point for Tina. I think lust and curiosity will not be enough to make her reorient her life partly because Eric still fulfills his duty every weekend. (I feel bad for the guy though. It’s like Tina’s treating him like a sexual vending machine. Sex is the only connection they seem to have right now. What could tilt Tina’s affection to Bette’s favor must be something deeper then. A more emotional connection coupled with intense physical attraction. Can’t wait to find out how the rest of this story unfolds. Thanks a lot for your well-written, well-thought-out, frequent and spirited posts and author notes, jks! Write on! =)

    2. This ‘friend’ relationship has certainly taken a quick turn to a seduction (on both sides). I think we didn’t “hear” the conversation that preceded this because most of it wasn’t with spoken words. They are spending every waking moment together other than work and Tina’s tryst with Eric. Eric is probably having the best sex of their relationship, so the poor slob won’t know what hit him when Tina drops him. Eric is as nice as he is clueless. It doesn’t appear that he is very strong in the relationship, and Tina is certainly coming off as the dominant one. He just goes with whatever she says, and does whatever she wants. Maybe she needs someone more forceful and she sees that in Bette. No matter how they cloak it in ‘friendship’ Tina is basically having an open affair with Bette without the sex (yet). I don’t like that both Tina and Bette are using Eric. His trial is a distraction but it gives Tina time and excuses for seeing Bette so often but also for going home to him to take care of her sexual frustration that Bette is arousing. Bette is using his busy schedule and lack of attention to Tina’s emotional and intellectual needs to her advantage too, especially since she keeps bringing him up in every conversation. She’s seducing Tina into a relationship she might or might not be ready for, but she’s certainly moved beyond ‘testing the waters’. She’s ready to dive in. Instead of getting in deeper with Bette Tina should take her time away from both of them while she is in NY to do some soul searching. Unless she intends to have them both, I’m not sure Bette will be too accomodating once things get physical between them to agree to sharing Tina’s body with Eric. At least I don’t think it’s that kind of story. Thanks for posting and I am definitely interested in how Tina will make this journey.

    3. There are a lot of tipping and touching points in this story. I wonder if all of Tina’s nights will end with such touching conversations. The pool party and its aftermath should be very interesting. Will Tina run to Eric, talk to the hand or let her hands do some walking over Bette. Of course the pool party could lead to some talking with Shane, Bette, Alice, Dana or even Eric on any number of topics. Thanks for all of the writing you have been doing. So much fun to read.

    4. I conclude:) Tina did venture south after switching the phone to her left hand, squeezing her eyes shut and wondering if Bette “could possibly know”. As for physical boundaries, it’s like they’ve acknowledged their attraction but have agreed not to act on it.The pool party should do it.

    5. Oh I love it. Tina loves it. Tina wants her so much. Do you see how quick she turned down Eric’s offer to pick her up? She barely resisted Bette’s offer. Bette is wearing her down. Have mercy! PPS

    6. Holy Hot Stuff, Batman! Methinks the movie studio merger is not the only merger that’s going to be happening shortly. Sweet Secular Goddess of Gorgeous Women Flirting Fabulously & Resisting Reluctantly! That was such a tantalizingly fun chapter—Bette has met her match in this Tina, but then Tina has met her match in this Bette. Love the innuendo about what Tee may or may not be up to in her hotel room bed. And thanks for a delicious read to top off the weekend.

    7. I can only imagine what type of conversation they had over dinner. It won’t be as good as yours I’m sure. So Tina wants to almost every moment with Bette. She’s infatuated and curious and taking out her sexual frustrations on Eric. He’s probably getting the best sex he’s ever had. I’ve been in Tina’s shoes and I’m still friends with my “Bette”, but I don’t see her as often as I would like because my Eric”…he’s jealous. Nice dig on the Ashley Madison. So, now I know that Tina prefers her right hand…just saying.

    8. ”her increased sex drive gets directed where it has been directed previously. At Eric.” – totally plausible, i believe it. — But Tina making a bean cassoulet from scratch in a half hour? – totally not plausible :)

    9. WOW, I am thoroughly impressed as always. Like I said in a previous comment, I think the slow burn is so close to real life and totally necessary for this story. I think everyone can relate to this story, in terms of being in a relationship yet having a “friend” that is a temptation and stirs up feelings and the question of “what if we went beyond friendship”. I think whatever conversation they had that the readers aren’t privvy to, clearly elucidated on Tina’s realizations that she is at least attracted to Bette but “cannot be more than friends right now.” Keep up the awesome work and don’t let anyone talk you into rushing this story along, since the development of the inner and outer conflicts need time to come to a head and then be resolved.

    10. Great chapter, although I feel like something happened between them that I missed–how did they get to the touching and Tina admonishing Bette for it, etc.? Anyway, who am I to complain when the story is fun to read, regardless!

    11. Wonderful chapter Swimmie. Gosh, I really love this story and this chapter was really awesome. This is so real Swimmie, so real adult conversation. The build-up is awesome. Can’t wait until they let go and whatever happens just happens. Thanks so much and post when you can, we will be here waiting.

    12. I agree with mightymouse :) Wow.. they must have talked a lot in their “alone time”. Could we maybe get a little flashback? ;) I like your long explanations in the author’s note.

    13. i’ve been in Tina’s shoes, hell i’m there now, just the sound of the voice is enough to make your mind wandering and the topic doesn’t matter…when Tina asked Bette to stop something because she actually wanted it rung so true. sometimes the temptation is so strong but you trying to be good because of the circumstances but it’s so, so hard. This is one hell of a story, thank you.

    14. I know you said that we don’t get to “hear” every conversation they have, but the thing with the hand…when did they get there? And how far has Tina gone in realizing that things between them-especially from Bette’s part- have evolved. She was just wondering if Bette is hanging out with her because she was client-hunting and now she thinks she might been hit on? And the “not because I don’t want to, but because I do” complicated it even more for me. Am I missing something? (Could be, because I don’t read your updates, I “gulp” them.. Enjoy your play day. They grow up so fast..!

    15. If they don’t push that gear in, the foot will tire from holding the clutch and just let go. Then that awful grinding sound will happen. Thought I’d use a little automotive analogy there ✌😁 😳but seriously, I love this story. Thank you swimmie 🐠 ✊😘💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

    16. Bette is one seductive bitch. I always loved and still do love JB’s voice as Bette. They know they are playing w/fire. Do enjoy your play day. Try to take photos to chronicle the day.

    17. Ok I know I haven’t left a comment on this yet but wow, I just needed to tell you how much I feel like I identify with this story. The uncertainty, the confusing feelings and yes very much so the middle-school type of back-and-forth “is she or is she not” thought puzzles that incessantly bug your brain. Absolutely loving this one and the slow burn is highly accurate to real life in my opinion. Thanks for this jks :)

    18. i’m with lodeerca and trecelovinit ; kinda missing some links when i read the “but because i do” line and the touchy bits. it’s almost like tina and bette are made it known to each other that they are attracted to each other and they are having an arrangement of sorts where tina will share her time between eric and between. nevertheless, i enjoyed reading most of this chapter and i do like this story very much. please continue with heating things up. thanks

    19. I feel like I missed something, but I will go with what you said about we don’t get to “hear” every conversation they have. They must have had a lot of conversation to get to a point where Tina is vocal about Bette’s touch. Enjoy your day and thanks for the post to a great story!

    20. Deliciously slow burn. It’s hard to carry on a seemingly conversation whilst one is otherwise… occupied, but Tina seemed to finesse it just fine. A woman’s allowed her secrets, after all… but I’d be surprised if Bette hadn’t figured it out by the end of the call. Thanks for the post. :)

    21. Bette really knew how to maneuver that phone call to where it eventually went (Whew!). A mutual confession must have happened in the interim. I can almost see what’s to happen when Bette picks her up at the airport. I hope they do take pity on the one innocent party, wherever they’re taking this thing.

    22. Uhm, was Tina taking care of her needs while she was talking to Bette? Sh#t! I think she was. WOW. And she did that while they were exchanging work updates? WOWWW. I’m sure Bette’s highly-trained ear caught Tina’s bold but secret sexy move. Oh my dear, I love the audacity of this sensual and sexually carefree Tina!
