“I’m sorry, I’m obviously bothering you,” Tina apologized.
“No, Alice would have been bothering me,” Bette corrected her. “I’m happy you called.”
“I just finished working for the night,” Tina said.
“What time do you have to be at work in the morning?” Bette asked as she glanced at her watch. ‘God it’s after midnight,’ she noted silently.
“Unfortunately I have an 8am meeting,” Tina sighed at the realization she would not be catching up on her much needed sleep any time soon.
Bette looked down at the paper on her desk, and realized she’d been doodling Tina’s name. She wanted to be annoyed with herself, but she found instead she was smiling again.
“Will I be able to see you tomorrow night,” Bette asked as the pen continued over the surface of the pad of paper. She recognized the contradiction in what she just said versus what she had expressed as her concern to Alice.
“Sorry, supper meeting tomorrow,” Tina replied. “Mondays are often a busy day for me.”
“Okay,” Bette replied, disheartened. “Are you going to bed soon?”
“Yes, I have to,” Tina said. “I’m exhausted. You set quite a pace this weekend.” She smiled as she recalled the time they spent together.
“I was simply trying to keep up with you, Tee,” Bette laughed as they bantered back and forth about whose fault it was they were both so tired.
Tina went on to relay the story about missing her movie date with Sharon, and the subsequent conversation they had when she showed up at Tina’s apartment.
“I’m so glad you found someone to talk with,” Bette said. “I know it’s not easy. And you can talk to me anytime, but sometimes you need someone other than me too, I realize that.”
“She was so funny, Bette,” Tina laughed. “You should have heard some the things she asked, or rather, the things she couldn’t find the words to ask. She had a ***** of a time finding a way to phrase some of her curiosity!”
“For example?”
“All she could muster was ‘did you feel as though something was missing when you were making love with her?’” Tina said.
“And did you feel as though something was missing?” Bette was a little curious herself.
“Definitely not,” Tina’s voice grew quite serious. “In fact I’ve never been more satisfied in my whole life.”
Bette rarely felt self conscious about any of her abilities, but it didn’t hurt to be re-assured now and then. She gave herself a metaphorical pat on the back as Tina relayed her assessment.
“And what did you tell Sharon?” Bette asked.
“I said, ‘Sharonshe’s got an intellect that gets me hotter than anyone I’ve ever met before; there was nothing missing as far as I’m concerned.’ Then I said something about your tongue that I don’t think you want me to repeat again.”
“You’re probably right, I might find it embarrassing.” Bette said. “After all, I may actually meet this friend some day and I’d like to be able to look her in the eye.
“I should really let you go, Bette” Tina reluctantly said. “I thought I’d catch you before you went home though.”
“I’m glad you did,” Bette replied. “Have a good night’s sleep.”
“You should get home soon yourself babe,” Tina replied
“I know, I’m wrapping it up,” Bette wallowed happily in the little term of endearment Tina had just used.
‘I’m in so much trouble,’ Bette thought to herself as she hung up the phone and paused with her hand still on the receiver.
Tina smiled and got up from the couch to get ready for bed. What a difference a weekend had made in her life.

I love where this is going. The pace is good, not too fast but not too slow, either. Bette’s concerns about a relationship interfering with work are very realistic. Thanks, I can’t wait to see where you take us next. :)
Absolutely charming in every way!! I could see Bette twirling her hair, and then getting that stern look on her face at what she was doing!! Thanks!!
Ah young and new love, I love what you are doing with them…..
Excellent chapter. I thought Bette’s doodling Tina’s name was so adorable. I really love reading this story. Can’t wait for more please post soon :)
” her favourite demotivational tool ” LOL!
Nice and sweet, please continue.
bette you are in so much trouble… but who wouldn’t want to be in that kind of trouble.. love this…please continue
K
Very cute chapter, excellent. I am glad your story is happy and positive. Love it.
You don’t miss a beat do you? Your story’s cadence is always so smooth. Thank you so much, your words are always absorbed with much pleasure.
I loved the picture of Bette picking up the pen to stop her self twirling her hair around her finger, only to use the pen to doodle Tina’s name on her pad.
Beautiful. Thank you
this was so refreshing. it just felt good. liked the pace. liked how bette didnt feel jealous about shar (?). just enjoyed the whole thing. thanks
this was so cute… keep going I can’t get enough
I was thinking…. was Alice smoking weed?..”with the demotivational tool” phrase. But then you confirmed my suspicions with the “partaking of the herb” statement.LMAO
That was lovely how you phrased it.
Lovely chapter.
Steph, I absolutely love this story!!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Post soon.
Nice to see that Shar is now more than just a co-worker for Tina. She needs someone like her that she can turn to if the need arises.
Who knew that Alice could be so lucid after firing up! I think her point about balance helped to make Bette feel more at ease in combining both work and a relationship. I also think that it was smart to point out that Tina is a busy woman as well, as was evidence when Bette wanted to see her the following evening.
Bette caught herself contradicting her earlier comment to Alice…but will she heed it?
Lovely story with a delightful rhythm to it. Looking forward to the next stage of their relationship.
Another great chapter. I can relate to Bette’s concern about work, been there a time or two. Hard sometimes to concentrate. Looking forward to next chapter.
Very nice.
Nice pace good update
This is one of my absolute favorites. I love the fact that their work is interrupting both of them (although Bette seems to be more bothered by it). It’s cute to see the first steps of their dating relationship and that T is not bothered by her switching to a woman now.
sweet, charming and amicable. Getting better and better by the chapter. Can’t wait for the next one. Thanx!
JKS this is just heavenly. Reading your chapters gives me this goofy smile on my face. Congrats on your award. This story is sexy and steamy even when it is rated PG…now that’s the sign of a gifted writer.
is juz too cute to see them at this stage.. :) ha~ post soon…!
Yes, the mind is the ultimate erogenous zone. And relationships that originate in the mind are some of the most satisfying. Shared thoughts are a wonderful prelude for…
Whatever.
Tina, girl, I hear ya about the sore body!
JKS- I’m glad you’re okay with the occasional prodding. You just pull this stuff out of your hat? I can see it. I can SEE what you’re talking about! Their interactions are so very real!
For real, though, this is a wonderful story. I’m as enchanted as they are with this new love!
Thank you for writing this story!
I wanted to officially congradulate you on your award!! great job and keep up the good work. This was a great chapter as always :o)
This is such a great chapter…after such a wonderful weekend, the best thing to do is process it with a friend…and I loved that Tina called her at the gallery. I hope they get to see each other on Tuesday, if Monday is a no-go.
What a good and beautiful chapter!
