They both recognized the necessity of getting the day under way, though and were soon enjoying breakfast as well as the denouement of their first kiss.
***************
"Everything is falling into place," Bette said.
"I only have to gather the summaries from the other groups and I can start putting everything together," Tina replied. "Today was incredibly productive."
"A testament to your leadership," Bette offered.
"I had a lot more patience than I usually have, given some of the tangents people were taking," Tina said. "And I have you to thank for that."
"You’re thanking me for your patience?"
"I’m thanking you for helping me sleep."
"Anytime."
"Light salad for lunch?" Tina suggested.
"Sure," Bette agreed. "We can set up to work at the dining room table after we eat."
"I want to get at some of this while it’s still fresh," Tina said. "I feel like I’m on a roll."
"I know what you mean," Bette replied. "It hasn’t been a very productive week for me and I could use some directed work time. Then we can reward ourselves with a nice dinner out."
"Something like a date?"
"Exactly like a date," Bette replied.
"Nothing too fancy," Tina said. "I didn’t bring much to wear."
"Will you stay tonight?"
Tina considered the offer for only a moment. She understood what the underlying question was.
"Sure," Tina said. "My pajamas are even still fresh."
"I don’t think you’ll need them tonight either," Bette said.
"You’re right," Tina agreed. "I probably won’t."
Bette reached to hold her hand briefly; even a seemingly innocent touch between them was nothing short of electric.
"The sooner we get going, the sooner we can get on with the more social part of our day together," Bette said.
Tina put the last of her papers away and they were out the door of the conference room for the short drive back to Bette’s house.
*********
"Better to have this conversation now than when we have to have the conversation," Bette said.
Tina glanced up from her computer screen.
"I know," Tina grinned. "I think it’s romantic that we’re talking about it."
"Any reason to think you should delay a physical relationship?"
"I’ve had a complete medical since the last time I was with anyone," Tina said. "How about you? You’re confident all is well?"
"Clean bill of health," Bette replied. "See? Conversation concluded. Now we know we don’t have to hold back if we decide to take that step."
"I hope it’s when we take that step, not if," Tina didn’t remove her eyes from the screen as she made the comment.
"Tina, I realize you’re trying to get some work done, and I, of all people, appreciate your dedication," Bette started. "But you can make eye contact when we’re having this discussion."
"Sorry, I don’t mean to take anything for granted," Tina was truly contrite but had to smile at the gentle way Bette chastised her. "This case has taken up so much of my life for so long, it’s hard for me to let it go."
"You like to compartmentalize your life," Bette sighed. "It’s not as if I don’t know what I’m getting myself into."
"But once my attention is on you, it will be entirely on you…"
"That’s a promise I’m looking forward to having you keep," Bette said. "On that note, I’m going to let you get back to work."
"I thought you might see things my way," Tina went back to her document. She looked up again. "But the distraction was a welcome one."
They reset their focus on what they had yet to complete, intrigued at how the rest of their evening might unfold.

I am so in love with this story! The dialogue you’ve developed is both intelligent and playful. Can not wait to see where you take us.
Excellent thank you
You’ve got mad skillz, woman! Loving their banter, intelligent, witty and delectable.
I could use a relaxing evening like that. I’m also intrigued as to how the rest of their night’s going to go. Thank you for posting! :)
Love it, they are perfect for each other. Please post more, thanks
I especially like the way you handled the realistic situation of past sexual liaisons and the health factor.Too many fanfic stories have folks just going from one hookup to another w/o consideration of their past sexual history especially among lesbians.
As usual, amazing story from you, i love the way you write dialogue, its simply brilliant. Would love to read everything you have written, so in case i have missed something, any chance of posting other stories you have posted under different names? More please, love it.
Excellent story!!!Like everyone else, i enjoy the dialogue between Bette and Tina.PPS

Everything that others have said and I feel the same way. I am completely in awe of the way you write for these two. The dialogue is awesome, you make conversation between them so realistic and normal it is just wonderful. I can hardly wait for the next chapter or two. Also I’m so happy you love our girls and you take such special care of them. Do you mean to say that you have more than two screen names. Gee. Thanks for posting.
