"Bonnie, I’m going to run out and grab a bite," Tina relayed her intention to her assistant upon returning from the monthly staff meeting.
Tina had a full afternoon ahead of her. Even though she wasn’t taking on any new cases, she’d been tapped to assist with several that were already in progress.
"A courier was just here," Bonnie replied. "He said it was lunch for you. Special delivery."
"You’re sure he had the right person?" Tina asked.
"It’s in your office," Bonnie shrugged. "He asked specifically for you."
She opened her office door and the aromas immediately transported her to Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa’s house. The food was still in containers, but she knew she was about to be treated to turkey dinner. She opened the first container – turkey of course, the steam still rising from it, roasted root vegetables, stuffing and a side cup of gravy. The second, smaller container held several spears of steamed asparagus, cranberry sauce and another side cup – this one filled with stemless maraschino cherries.
A note wasn’t necessary. The selections before her spoke loud and clear as to who the sender was.
She pulled her phone out and sent a quick text.
Tina: ‘Thank you VERY much! But…where are the stems?‘
The response was almost immediate.
Bette: ‘I’m practicing.‘
Tina unwrapped the enclosed cutlery from the napkin and sat down to enjoy the meal with a smile on her face.
**********
"How did practice go today?" Tina asked once she heard Bette’s greeting on the other end of the phone.
"The practice of law, or the practice of tying a cherry stem into a knot?"
"Both."
"I continue to strive for mastery," Bette replied. "Hey a few friends are planning a night out on Friday – would you like to come?"
"Dinner? Drinks?"
"You know the Planet in West Hollywood? An early dinner and then stay for a casual evening."
"Sure, I haven’t been out for a while," Tina said. "Can I pick you up?"
"I think we’ve established you can pick me up anytime you’d like…"
Tina chose her next words carefully.

Swimmie, I’ve only read page one and I know the rest of it will be awesome. Their banter is just superb, too bad you were not a writer on the show and I most sincerely mean that. I’ve told two or three writers that and I mean it for all of you. I’ll be back.
Five weeks is a long time to let the imagination wander… but I get the impression Bette’s got plenty of patience in reserve, even if she seemingly has few reservations when it comes to what she’ll say to Tina. Enjoyable as ever, jks. Thanks for taking the time to post!
I doubt the five weeks will go quickly for me. I hope it’s not real time but accelerated fanfic time. ;-)Delightful as usual.
Good things come to those who wait. : )
I’m in love with their innuendo laced dialogue! The way the tension is building between these two…Bette is going to blow Tina’s mind! Can not wait for your next post :))
LOVE IT!!!!
Awwww Swimmie you’ve given us another zinger from these two. Bette had better have the patience to wait for Tina and I have a good feeling that Tina just might surprise her. Bette must remember you have to watch out for the silent types that can giver verbally as good as she gets. The only thing is Tina can deliver the goods when its time. I can hardly wait for the five weeks, hope it is only about two and a half or three for us. Bette is laying it on thick with Tina and it is weighing on her mind but she will make Bette wait. And it will be the best gift that Bette has ever received. Wonderful, wonderful chapter. Thanks for posting. Post when you can.
Swimmie, I hope that’s not five weeks real time! LOL
But I really do love the tension and the dialogue, so take all the time you want.
This just keeps getting better.
Love it.Thank you.
thank you for the updates.
Yay, yay, YAY!
Love this, thanks
holy smokes…five weeks to wonder. Great chapter as always. Thanks.
Surely Tina has heard of multi-tasking? Maybe not. Five weeks will fly by in a flash. Staying overnight after the first date, in separate rooms? You’ve changed the story but I still say, “Well, aren’t they modern!” Loving the dialogue! I’m looking foward to their legal maneuvers as much as their potential romantic ones. Thanks!
Just wanted to inform you that I have zero (0) self control. Zilch. Nada. Zip. I’m reading all 6 pages in one go! As they say back on the farm, “How you like me now?” , Back to the story…
Wonderful thank you
Excellent! Sorry I was late to comment, I have been busy, practicing with cherry stems.
Yes she will and she will be there for you Tina, please post more, thanks!
Loved it. PPS
