Chapter 3
“Houston’s boom times are worsening the area’s notorious bumper-to-bumper traffic, new state congestion figures indicate, as the area reaps the benefits of population and job growth that’s putting an added strain on local freeways, can you tell more about this David?”
”Well with the economic boom comes the bad stuff, and that is congestion growth,”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, changes to methodology led to some spikes in average congestion along certain routes. Areas with major freeway interchanges saw average congestion estimates increase, giving planners a fuller view of the gridlock afflicting most areas of the state. The additional traffic is having a pronounced effect in certain areas, and these areas are teetering on really, really heavy congestion for long hours of the day”
“I guess the saying with change comes challenges is so true after all huh? In this case at least”
“Absolutely, Houston’s two worst freeway segments are along U.S. 59. The stretch from Interstate 10 to Texas 288 ranks second-worst in the state, with an average of…”
“No kidding!”
It was 7:50 on a Tuesday morning and Bette couldn’t bear hearing the two men anymore as they talked about the “notorious” Houston morning traffic so she switched the station and maybe find something nice that could help jumpstart her day. She just dropped Angelica off at her day care center before going to work and now unfortunately was stuck in traffic. James had asked her last night to come at 8:30 so they could prepare everything before the lady boss arrived and she was really hoping that she wouldn’t be late besides it was just her second day at work and thought that she needed to find a better route going to the office next time.
Several miles into downtown Houston, she was part of a long procession of vehicles which had been unable to pass a big container van because of a steady gradient and the oncoming traffic on the two lane road. Several of the motorists found it difficult to be patient and took what Bette thought was risky passes. Eventually, however, the road leveled out somewhat so the string of traffic spread out.
Rounding a curve and hitting a relatively straight stretch of road, the brunette accelerated, passing the container van and some of the slower moving vehicles. At one of the road side pullouts a blue sedan was stopped with a hood up, steam rolling out and the exasperated, older driver standing nearby wiping his forehead with a handkerchief.

Okay so i’m finally getting the hang of this book thingy… hope you all enjoy this new chapter(-;
WOW! it seems every time I say it: it was so wonderful. I really liked it.
I have been waiting for Bette and Shane encounter. I’m sure they quickly find a common voice and a great friendship develops between them.
I am wondering what is the deeper history of the lake house (I feel like there’s something there …)
might end up Tina fantasy will be real (she and Bette and Boo will the lake house as a family), I proceeded too? :-D
seems to Tina is a deep love towards Bette. although the scene in the car was the complete opposite of this.
I look forward to developing a relationship between them, and Tina meet Angelica.
Thank you. I hope you posting soon!
HI and thanks! I wish you could post a chapter a day. I love this story! I’ve always loved Shane and Bette’s friendship. Can’t wait to read when Tina finds out about their friendship once they get to know each other. I’m sure the green eyed monster will come out of Tina. Tina will be thinking she’s (Bette) is MINES!!! PPS
Great sexual tension building. Can’t wait to read more! Thank you!
Goodness Phacey- English not being your first language certainly does not intervene with your ability to write. Wow I have never read a story where the lack of sex in a story is made up 10 fold by the sexual energies that are so potent in your story. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this powerful Tina. I LOVE EVERY bit of her as you write her. Bette is timid though freaking strong and I love this too. I certainly wish this were a completed book, I’d spend this day just reading it and ignoring all else.
I do wish you’d update more often though…..
Keep up the excellent writing. And thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you i appreciate all the kind words and hoped i can post more often too unfortunately i don’t have the luxury of time.
Thanks for the update! I agree with others comments that Tina has feelings for Bette. I look forward to Bette developing feelings for Tina. So will Tina share the lake house with Bette? Look forward to your next update!
Thanks for updating. We get to read what is in their minds. Seems as if they are feeling each other out and developing real feelings toward each other. And maybe some respect. Please keep the chapters coming.
Tina sure is behaving herself. I can’t believe she’s lasted this long without making a bigger move. I will say that daring move in the car had me holding my breath…it’s most excellent to see naughty Tina make an appearance.
Hey phacey
My comments on the previous chapter got deleted, but it was my doing. Initially it would not post so I entered it three times, then later I noticed all the duplicates so I tried to delete them and ended up deleting everything. No worries though I did read your response and you know me I am never shy about commenting or giving you a hard time; especially on this story and Give Me A Reason where you make Bette subject to Tina’s perversions. Come to think of it Virgin was similar. I’m beginning to see a pattern (ha ha).
I hope when I post this one it works..
Maybe I am your only cynical reader but my thought about the lake house is that it’s planned for Tina’s sexual rendezvous with Bette. Other than the office and the car where else would they have sex in the city that Tina wouldn’t be seen? She is dating a political figure and she’s well-known. She appears to like to live in style so they are not going to be sneaking off to some sleazy motel on the other side of town where they rent by the hour.
She can’t have sex at Bette’s apartment (now that she knows there is a child living there). She can’t have sex at her apartment with Randall and her neighbors hanging around so she gets a lake house two hours from the city where she can live out her fantasy.
By the way I don’t think her fantasy involves being a wife to Bette and a mother to Angie. For me I hope she never gets near Angie. I hope Bette does her year of service and keeps her baby away from Tina. Anyone that would take advantage of another person’s misfortune and degrade them in that way should not be in a position of influence on an innocent child. Do you remember when Bette and Tina were having an affair behind Jodi’s back and Bette said that it had to end because she didn’t want to set that type of example for Angie? I hope this Bette has the same moral fiber even if it’s been compromised by her arrangement with Tina.
The scene in the car was exactly what I expected and I would not have been surprised if she’d cornered Bette in one of the rooms at the house. Reminded me of the sleazy scene with Tina and Helena when Helena was looking for a house and they had sex in the kitchen with the realtor watching.
In the next version of this story you should make Helena the rich bitch and have her buy Tina’s services. I think that would be more to their character than Bette in this role.
I didn’t like that Bette hesitated to answer her cell phone knowing full well that it was Molly calling about Angie. No matter what her baby should come first. It appeared if Tina didn’t give her ‘permission’ to answer the phone she wouldn’t have. That’s not a good sign of things to come. If Bette is selling herself for Angie’s well-being what would be the point if Angie is hurt or worse due to Bette’s neglect?
As for the Mercedes I think that is a bit over the top. Does James drive a Mercedes? If Tina is trying to be discrete that Bette is a kept woman she certainly isn’t making much of an effort. She is flaunting Bette in her not so subtle way and ogling her during staff meetings is a sure fire way for everyone especially James to figure out what is going on soon enough. No one is going to cross Tina since their jobs depend on it but of course Bette will be the one that has to deal with everyone knowing that she wasn’t qualified for the job and is getting paid, and is being kept in style driving a fancy car, and living in a fancy apartment in trade for lesbian sex with her female boss who is supposedly straight and also dating a male at the same time. I’m grossed out about it and they haven’t even had sex yet.
How can Bette have friends in the office or any respect for herself? I laugh at the comments that said it would be demeaning for Tina to have taken Bette in her office. What exactly do they think Bette was hired for? And as for Shane and Bette having a romance? Are you kidding me? Since Bette is supposedly straight having Shane as a lover would be ridiculous but Shane being a lesbian could come in handy to get pointers on lesbian sex to satisfy her perverted boss – because I don’t think Tina is going to put up with an amateur for long. She is very demanding and Bette better perform to keep her job.
OK enough rambling and righteous indignation. You know I’m just giving you a hard time to keep you on your toes and to keep the creative juices flowing. Looking forward to what you have for us next time.
Others won’t understand, but thanks for indulging me. Bat
Hey Bat you sure know how to keep the juices flowing! LoL!
First off I’m not here to defend the characters but to simply tell some facts and give possible scenarios. If you read the first part of la publicite’ Tina made it very clear to Bette that she belongs to the upper circle and having sexual liaisons with another woman is something that needs to be kept in the dark. Tina is a smart woman and if she has dirt in her laundry she wants it discreet and hidden and maybe her attitude towards Bette in the office like ogling her when James is around might be considered as one her flaws but while at the meeting Tina was very professional and never once stared at Bette. In Bette’s mind being there in the conference room might be something beneficial to her in the long run especially she wasn’t planning of staying in the office after her one year agreement, and who knows maybe Tina wants Bette to be there to expose her in that line of work which can help her too in the future. I’m not saying that just by staying there for a year Bette can be a lawyer too or anything of the sort, what I’m saying is that any kind of exposure to Tina’s corporate world, compared to her previous work might be favorable to Bette
.
You’re right in your analysis that for someone who is romantically linked to a prominent political figure like Randal Wheeler Tina needs to be extra careful and buying the lake house might be a good escape for her and whatever it is that she wants to do with Bette. Regarding sex in the office, I’ve mentioned in my author’s notes that it could happen and quite frankly it’s something that is not impossible to occur, as to when and how that’s the big question.
Given their sexual agreement I know you don’t favor Tina meeting Angelica while others do. We’ll never know… maybe not or maybe yes… you’ll have to see for yourself.
Bette and Shane having relationship more than friendship is something farfetched, yet at this point despite of everything that I’ve mentioned above, anything can happen, anything is still possible. Now i know you don’t like this kind of setup but I appreciate that you gave this story a chance. My aim is to bring a different kind of TiBette that hopefully can intrigue and tickle the minds of the readers and not to indulge some wild sexual fantasies but as early as now I’ll be honest and up front that there might be some scenes in the future chapters that may not be suitable to your taste and that’s understandable. I’ll make sure to give a warning though.
Hey phacey. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Sorry if my comment was crude or harsh you know I get carried away sometimes. However this is your story and I respect that. You don’t need to defend your characters or the storyline. I know there is more depth to it than the arrangement and you will give us a good read. Don’t worry about content or warnings. It is a story for mature audiences so as long as it’s rated appropriately I will know to skip the parts that may not be suitable to my taste and I will keep my thoughts to myself.
I do hope that Bette is able to get a good education from the exposure to Tina’s professional world and will use the money to finish school and advance her career so she can make a good living. She is smart and can do well for herself given the chance. I am sure Tina will also benefit from the personal relationship with Bette and maybe this is who she wants in her life. As you said it’s early in the story and many possibilities for character development.
Don’t mind my ramblings. I hope I inspire you not discourage you. You are very talented and have a strong following so keep it up. .
No worries I wasn’t offended and definitely not discouraged, you know how I welcome the challenge and I appreciate sharing me your thoughts. This story started… how should I put this… maybe in a sordid kind of way mainly because of that bizarre and indecent advertisement but I’m hoping to turn things around as the story progresses (-:
Loved it, thanks
Hope there is more “naughty Tina” in store. Having Angelica in the story will no doubt make things more complicated. Thanks for posting, and looking forward to the next chapter.
This is so good and please post more, thanks
Having writer’s block for GMAR, no worries! I love this story just fine! PPS
Bring on the NC-17!!! Lol!! Great story ;)
This is a great story and there is nö need to any psychoanalytic Background.Thank you and PPS
Thankyou for your post, love your story, can’t wait to read more. Thx
Hi read it again! I love it this go round also! You do you and don’t let anyone change your story. Write it the way you want to cause I will still be reading. Hell, they can just sit and look at each other and I’ve still be a fan. PPS
Well hello it seems that every time you post a chapter the sexual intensity level increases too. I love that scene in the lake house and how i wish their first time happens there too. Just write this however you want we’ll always read it anyway. Can’t wait for the next chappie…
Yup Phacey… Please carry on writing this the way you want it. It’s ok if Bette and Tina show weaknesses of character in this story. You don’t have to make them so righteous and perfect. Of course what Tina wants to do with Bette would be demeaning. But didn’t they degraded themselves already the moment Tina post that advertisement and Bette responded to it? Of course it wasn’t an ethical behavior. They made a bad choice actually, but it doesn’t mean they’re bad people, it only means they’re human. if that’s the way to find their way to each other, then so be it.
I don’t think Tina is that bad, although she’s paying Bette to fulfill her fantasy about lesbian sex. I don’t think she’s taking advantage of anyone’s misfortune. It’s not like she blackmailed Bette to agree in her advertisement.. Bette was given a choice and she decided, although her heart doesn’t agree with her.
I don’t think Tina is some kind of a predatory beast who would ogle Bette every time they’re in the same room and would corner her and have her way if the situation permits. Oh phacey, I think you’ve already done it before with your other stories.
Please don’t let Bette keep Angie away from Tina. Let them meet and know each other more. I know right now, Tina’s future plan doesn’t involve being a wife to Bette and a mother to Angie, but who knows, in the future. It’s not like she’s going to marry her politician lover. You will never let it happen, will you? I know you won’t let Bette and Tina’s contract end without them falling deeply in love with each other. So, Bette and Tina plus Angie equals happy family.
I agree, some of your stories were similar, where you make “Bette subject to Tina’s perversion”. But don’t worry, we like it that way.. for a change. We have had enough of Bette being the alpha and the one pursuing Tina. We get that from most of the stories here. I like it your way. It made your stories more intriguing and sexy.. and one of the reasons why you had me hooked to your stories.
Whatever your plan to our B and T, we’re just here waiting.. Thank you so much!
Keep smiling..
Keep writing..
Hey Iyah, nice to see you sharing your thoughts here. Although I don’t have any idea on how long this story will go, we’re just in the early part of the story and many things will happen so I hope you stick around. As for my stories being “similar” you might be pertaining to this story and Give Me A Reason where Tina paid Bette in exchange of sexual favors.
When I started the short story la publicite (where this story came from) I made it very clear that I wanted to create another spin of Give me a reason hence you see some slight similarities but these are two completely different stories and I hope that readers will still enjoy both.
As of this time i cant confirm nor deny anything yet, for anything is possible to happen, so hope you stick around. Thanks for your support, really means a lot girl!
Thanks for the update. look forward to more soon.
Intriguing, exciting.
Here we are imagining the possibilities.
Tina soon will change the conditions of the contract?
Bette knows he is doing wrong. Tina feels more than desire for Bette. Tina regret soon to continue the relationship in this way?
How long can keep a secret?
A pleasure to read everything you write. I read and reread wanting more.
Please, save the ideas for new stories and try to continue and complete those that are waiting, Give me a reason, Tuesdays with T also has been an important moment, which are the most advanced.
Wish you had more time to write more often ; )
Ok let me just say the anticipation is killing me lol I cant wait for bette and tina hook up but more importantly I want tina and angelica to meet, im wondering what’s angie first impression going to be and with Angie you never know lol she is a very intelligent little girl…I love the seducing part of Tina its different from all the stories where she is the straight one and bette is the lesbian seducing her…omg the suspense of this relationship is killing me
I am loving the Tina and Bette in your story, neither is set up as the good or bad person, just an individual trying to do the best they can. And what iyah said.
I’m re-reading this because I enjoyed 1st time round. Here’s BITCH http://youtu.be/6ge53QaDpKQ Please finish the story phacey,
