They packed the rest of their belongings and ventured to other topics of mutual interest as they left the library conference room on their way out to lunch.

”How was the soup?”
”Too decadent,” Tina replied. ”Creamy – I prefer a light and delicate touch.”
”I’ll keep that in mind.”
Tina chose to ignore the remark.
”More work for you tonight?” Tina asked. ”In order to justify your exorbitant hourly rate?”
”Some people would rather pay me $20,000 than pay the government an additional $10,000 in taxes,” Bette said. ”They think of my fees as the cost of doing business. No justification necessary.”
”Taxes support our way of life.”
”Taxes are a fine for success,” Bette countered.
”Social responsibility is a tenet that permeates our tax code,” Tina started to raise her voice as she made her argument.
”You really shouldn’t fight with your emotions,” Bette noted calmly. ”It undermines the very salient points you’re trying to make.”
”You don’t really believe taxation is a success fine, do you?” Tina said.
”No, but you are really easy to bait into a fight,” Bette replied.
”You enjoy that? Seeing someone get angry?”
”I enjoy tapping into a person’s emotions. To see what makes them tick.”
”Is that why you listened to the interview I did with your friend when we were facing each other in court?”
”And because you…intrigued me,” Bette said. ”I knew there was more to you than met the eye.”
”More than a new DA?” Tina asked.
”More than a flirtatious opponent whose arguments I mistakenly thought I could dismantle in moments,” Bette said. ”Turns out your intellect is a force in itself.”
”You flatter me,” Tina replied.
”I don’t give compliments lightly,” Bette replied.
”Well, I couldn’t be more pleased you chose to participate in preparations for our fight in front of the Supreme Court. You have more to offer than I could have anticipated.”
”You have no idea.”
Their conversation veered to topics unrelated to their respective roles – topics they would be less inclined to argue about. Not that arguing with someone so adept at it wasn’t fun. But taking a step back to enjoy the view was allowed too.

Just one word: “WOW”!
I wish I could write as well as you. FanFic jealousy.
*swoon* Got to love that sensual TiBette tension. The banter you’ve developed between them is delicious. I would never guess you weren’t involved in law. I guess being involved with an attorney is very educational. Also, I like your version of Melvin so much more the IC’s. PPS
the cats that caught the wayward canaries – I bet !
More, more. PPS
The cherry on top for this Friday seeing an unexpected post from you! If you want to stay anonymous, you have to change the writing style of your comments. :) Anyhow, enjoying your writing under any name. Looking forward to the next update.
Gulp. After Tina’s description and demonstration, I will never look at cherries the same way again…EVER. Your dexterity with words and dialogue is truly marvelous. Almost every line they exchange has a double entendre. Ahhhmazing. I heart every twist and curl of this story so far, jks. Many thanks and please keep up this awesomeness! Have a great, relaxing weekend! Mwah! ;)
I´m going cherry hunting..This Melvin is a treat and your story is just awesome. Thanks for the update.
Amazing as always.Thank you.PPS
i love the dialogue. while a long stem is preferred it’s more challenging to tie a knot with a short stem which i can do. #justsaying
Fabulous as usual
Loving this, thanks
I am *loving* this, whether or not the story’s veered from where it was originally intended. Tina’s lesson in stem-knotting… I think the rating was fine, and a lot of fun to read. Thanks! :)

Sorry about my last message. My keyboard went crazy on my other laptop.Great post. I love the flirting. These two are both risk takers and they push the flirting to the limit. I wonder how long they can hold out…
un, un, un. I can’t wait to see what else Tina can do with her tongue. PPS
Love it!!
Awwwwww Swimmie, I love you. If you weren’t already married I’d have to find you and beg for a date. That was just WOOOOOWWWWWWWWW! Loved it. Loved your Melvin too, now where is Maxine? Melvin had a great sense of humor as well, …the cats that caught the wayward canaries.” And she didn’t need any help finding trouble as she’d already found it.” I should say. I can hardly wait until those two get their groove on, it’s gonna be way too much to contain. I’ve heard of very talented women being able to tie those cherry stems but have never seen it done. Now I’ve got to go to the store.Loved this chapter, gotta read it again. Have a great weekend.
