"Some home cooked meals would be hard pressed to beat what I’ve had from the diner."
"There are a couple of ‘to go’ cups in the cupboard to the left of the sink," Bette said. "Why don’t you fill them for us and I’ll finish getting ready."
"Sure," Tina said. "I’ll take care of the dishes."
"Just set them in the sink," Bette said.
"I’ll be done before you’re back," Tina said. "Get going."
"Yes ma’am," Bette said.
"We’re going to work; best make ‘ma’aming’ me a habit," Tina replied.
Tina affected a rich Southern accent with her last sentence – one that made Bette take notice with a smile.
Yes indeed, she’d be happy to let Tina tell her what to do anytime she was interested in taking charge.
***********
"If you don’t have any plans, we could spend the afternoon enjoying the day outside…maybe go for a swim later?" Bette suggested.
They’d taken care of the dishes from lunch and were sitting with tea on the patio.
"Can I borrow something to wear in the pool?" Tina asked.
"Eight foot fence," Bette nodded to the perimeter of the yard. "You don’t have to wear anything in the pool."
"I’d be too self conscious," Tina said. "Even with just the two of us."
"I have plenty of shorts and a few different bathing suits you can choose from," Bette said. "I’m sure I can outfit you and your Victorian sensibilities."
"I got an email from someone while you were getting the tea," Tina said.
Bette waited for the explanation to continue.
"An over zealous observer noted how we were interacting with each other at this morning’s session," Tina explained. "She felt as though I could be a target for a sexual harassment suit and said I should apologize to you if there was unwelcome innuendo. So…sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable in any way."
"Apology accepted. I wasn’t too worried about it though. For the record."
"I didn’t think you had any concerns," Tina replied.
"God, you can’t even flirt in the work place with other willing participants without getting called on the carpet," Bette said. "What’s the world coming to?"

What mightymouse said ;) Waiting anxiously for your next chapter.
Perfect day… perfect post. Thanks, jks. :)
I am so glad that you kept w/canon as far as Bette and Tina are concerned. They have different professions but their conversations are true to form. Just the best.
Just caught up with the posts, love the banter. Always look forward to reading whenever and whatever you grace us with. Enjoy the sunshine!
That was great and love it
there’s nothing more satisfying and beautiful than a conversation between two intelligent women, no matter if it’s about politics or their attraction. it’s appealing and captivating all the same :)
WOW!!! What MightyMouse said and another great chapter giving us more insight into our girls, their demeanor, and their interaction with, and between each other. They are becoming more attuned and comfortable with each other the more time they spend together and you show it so beautifully. Of course, the more time spent together the closer they become and less mysterious to each other and find they have more in common than they thought. Since Bette mentioned spending the next four Saturday afternoons together I think they have solved the problem of the five weeks. We know Tina loved that proposal. I had wondered about Bette’s mother and you answered my questions in this chapter. Your writing transports us into their world and it is a wonderful place to be. Thank you for that ability. I do so love this story, I know you can’t tell.lol
“Arguing aroused her?”…she’d got some balls to say that in the open..Lol!..thanks for the update..loving it!
Woohoo! How I love this story so far!
A perfect update. Things are progressing quite well. Will there bumps in the road, legal or otherwise?
Love the back and forth between these two. Thanks for the update. Please post again soon!
WOW. I’m running out of superlatives to describe your writing, jks. What more can I say? That these seven chapters are close to perfection? That I’m relishing every crumb, every morsel of this lovely story. That I heart watching the sparks fly whenever they spar verbally. That I love the way you’ve recreated and re-envisioned the characters of Bette, Tina and most especially Melvin. I’ve smiled from earring to earring while reading your recent posts, jks. This story’s a soothing balm to my dead-tired soul. A thousand times thank you and please write on! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! =)
Wonderful thank you
Excellent writing,love it.Thank you.
