"What time is dinner on Friday?" Tina asked.
"Seven," Bette replied. "Listen, why not stay at my place Friday night. I have lots of room, and then we can go in together on Saturday morning."
"You have the space?"
"You get your own room and everything," Bette assured her. "Avoid the commute when you can."
"Your place is so much closer to the law library," Tina justified. "Ninety minutes I won’t have to spend on the freeway."
"Absolutely," Bette said. "We’re out together Friday night – so bring a few things and stay."
"You talked me into it," Tina said. "How’s your coffee?"
"Really good!" Bette replied.
"You sound surprised," Tina laughed. "Did you think I’d lead you astray?"
"No, but mass market products are usually so average," Bette said.
"No one should settle for average," Tina noted.
"Always strive to be, do and have the best," Bette replied. "You’re less likely to face disappointment."
Neither one thought they were talking about coffee any more.

Bette led her down the short hallway to the guest bedroom. She set Tina’s overnight bag on a small bench at the foot of the bed.
"The washroom is next door. All you’ll need for towels is right there," Bette pointed to a collection of towels, soaps and lotions that rested in a basket on the bed. "There’s space in the closet if you’d like to hang anything up."
"Great, thanks," Tina said. "I appreciate your hospitality."
"Let me know if there’s anything else I can get for you," Bette said.
"I think I’m all set," Tina replied. "I’ll put a few things away and be right out."
"And we can be on our way," Bette said.
"Who are we meeting?" Tina asked on the way to the Planet.
"You met Alice – the journalist who interviewed you," Bette explained. "And another friend of ours. Dana is a professional tennis player."
"Dana Fairbanks?"
"I forget – people know her," Bette replied. "I think of her as my friend Dana, but yes, Dana Fairbanks."
They pulled into the parking lot barely after 7 p.m. Dana and Alice had already been seated by the time they went inside. Introductions had taken place when a slender, dark haired woman approached their table tentatively. As soon as Tina saw her she stood to greet her with a hug.

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
