All the Small Things–Chapter 1
“Night. Hey, Tina,” Shane said, as she crossed over the fence to her house. “We’d like you to join us for breakfast at the Planet tomorrow. Are you going to be there?”
“Thanks, Shane, but I think I’m going to bail out on that one,” Tina said. “I have work to do at home. Thanks for the offer, though.”
Shane raised an eyebrow at Bette. “Bette?”
“I’ll be working from home. My latest exhibition. Tell Helena, Dusty, Max, and Jenny that they’ll be paying for all our drinks the next time they bail out on us. Okay?”
“Okay. Bye, Bette.” Shane waved. “Bye, Tina.”
After a few minutes, and a few beer bottles later, Bette and Tina headed back into the living room and sat on the couch, both of them still surprisingly alert and sober, especially Bette, who has been drinking for the better part of the evening. Tina then settled near Bette, flipping the remote control until it reached a channel with re-runs of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
“So,” Tina said, as she clutched the beer bottle close to her. “What now?”
“Rules, I guess. You’re going to be my housemate until we can find you a place to stay in.” Bette replied. She then stood up and went over to the refrigerator. “Pellegrino?”
“My favorite drink.” Tina said, giving Bette a nice smile. “Thank you.”
I’ll keep that in mind, Bette thought, not at all sure what she was referring to—the smile or Tina’s favorite drink. She brought back two bottles of Pellegrino and sat down, handing the cooler one to Tina. The contestant on the game show just won himself a thousand dollars. Tina immediately opened her bottle and snuggled deeper into the couch.
“So, rules,” Bette said. Tina turned to her and nodded. “Right. We’ll have to share expenses for food, utilities, and all of those things, and you’ll have to organize your stuff, because I hate mess. If there’s anything you need, don’t ever hesitate to call me or to call Shane or Jenny for help. Other than that, I don’t have anything else to say. Any questions?”
Tina looked at Bette and wondered whether she was back in a class in college, or just in the living room with a newfound friend. “Okay. I can deal with that. What about dates?”

i always love to read B&T beginnings, especially ones w/ a twist on their meet-up & this one is really interesting….so i’m hoping that T is already feeling the attraction to B and that explains why she would have a problem w/ B bringing home “dates”….also what kind of a reaction was she looking for from B to the idea of her bringing back a man…and what was her reaction to B’s “non-reaction?” Thx & PPS :)
I like this story very much. You are an amazing writer.
great story plzzzzzzzzzz keep it going, thnx
This is so different,Eric should have his a&& kicked for hitting a woman. Didnt find out what kind of work Tina did. Bette is going to make her pay for her keep. Alice is Alice and needs to kmow every ones business.
Catchy start. Its funny how Tina set the date rule at Bettes house.
This is good writing. An unusual slant, keep going!
this is a nice different interesting beginning. Look forward to more!
Yes, I really like this new look at BT beginning. I’m a little incredulous that they became “roommates” so quickly, but I am suspending disbelief because it’s so much fun.
I love this!!
very interesting…can’t wait for more!
Interesting twist having Bette share her home with Tina. I wonder how long it will be before one of them admits their feelings. :)

This is good, different at least tina isn’t with eric!! she is very trusting to move in with bette. lets see how long before she get comfortable! :)
wow… this is an amazing start..please continue…I love this beginning:)YAY!
That is a lovely start, hope their friendship will turn blssom into romance soon.
Its a different start but it works for me. I think Tina just really didn’t want Bette with someone else. How can it be okay for her to bring someone home, but not Bette. It is Bette’s house.
nice start… please continue
This is good start and like it. Please post more, thanks!
Great start…T’s telling Bette the house rules?? She’s game!!!! PPS.
