    And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 16

     

    "Maybe there are exercises you can do to strengthen it?" Sharon suggested wryly. "You know, get it in shape"

     

    "You’re going to make me regret telling you some of this stuff aren’t you," Tina asked with her chin resting on the heel of her hand.

     

    "Hey, research is my business Tina," Sharon stated blithely. "First you acquire theoretical knowledge, then you apply theory to action. Of course in your case, you just went straight for the practice makes perfect approach."

     

    Another knock on the door interrupted their conversation. Tina’s assistant entered with a small but stunning arrangement of orchids and set them on the corner of her desk.

     

    Sharon raised an eyebrow inquisitively.

     

    "Are you going to share the note, or do I have to sneak in later to read it on my own?" she said.

     

    "Well at least you’re honest," Tina laughed as she opened the small envelope included with the flowers. She spoke aloud for Sharon’s benefit.

     

    "To the best ***** I ever had," Tina said simply, with her head tilted to one side.

     

    "It does NOT say that!" Sharon demanded as she reached over and grabbed the card from Tina’s hand. "Awww, ‘I miss you already. B.’ So cute."

     

    "I should call her," Tina hinted as she reached for the phone.

     

    "Gotcha, I’ll give you some privacy," Sharon rose from the chair. "A few of us are getting sandwiches delivered. If you want in on the order, let me know by 11, okay."

     

    "I’m in," Tina agreed to the suggestion. "I don’t have time to leave today and I didn’t bring anything. I’ll let you know."

     

    Tina picked up the phone and dialled.

     

    ‘This number is going on speed dial,’ she thought to herself as she worked through the 10-digit number.

     

    The call went right to voice mail. "You’ve reached the voice mail of Bette Porter. I am either with a client or on the other line. If you require immediate assistance, please press ’1′, otherwise leave a message after the tone."

     

    Tina left a brief message thanking Bette for the flowers, before turning back to one of the many scripts that awaited her attention. She picked randomly from the pile and began to read as she sipped at her coffee. She was only a quarter through the most boring 120 pages in her memory when the phone rang.

    1. Another great chapter. Glad I caught it before I leave work. Tina’s friend Sharon kind of reminds me of Kate Capshaws friend in “A Girl Thing”, she’s too funny. My best friend is just like that, has to know everything. Looking forward to your next chapter.

    2. aka Just Once

      First a big congrats on your award – very deserved!!! Love the story so very much!

      Second – so are you kidding me … correlation coefficients and p-values… so the next time I have a question about cross-correlation or auto-correlation values… can I give you a call? only kidding. By the way what do you do for work?

      Again I so love your story and the missed phone calls and messages between these two- it is so fun to read. Thanks so very much for taking the time to write!

    3. Because it’s you, I have no fear that Eric will turn into a craxed killer.

      I am curious though, doesn’t Eric know that Bette is a lesbian???? This could get awkward…

      Thanks for posting another chapter!

    4. I so love your work. Congratulations…I just found out about your award! I must tell you…You’re one of my top 3…If I had to pick a position for the 3 of you in my mind, I couldn’t. Let’s just say I’m batting 1000%…And I don’t even care much for baseball. Your writing has overwhelmed me over and over.

    5. This line alone should keep ink flowing in your new award pen. “That little piece of skin that attaches your tongue to the floor of your mouth,” Sharon said. “You said it was sore after all the action you got this weekend.” Now, that was priceless. Congrats.

    6. And…Oh, I forgot…WTF are correlation coefficients and p-values? I have a B.A. in journalism, but I’ve never hear of these things in relation to writing (or whatever) in my life. Jeez. You really do rock!

    9. Hope I’m not too late to comment on this wonderful chapter. :) I’m glad Tina and Bette finally connected after they kept missing each other. Too bad Eric was lurking around! Brilliant though, having him ask Bette out. ;) Great chapter, as always. I am patiently waiting for the next.

    10. Good chapter. Sharon is funny and glad Tina have a friend like that. Ok something is wrong, wonder why Eric didn’t know Bette is gay or he know and he know that Tina break up with him for Bette and now he want to play game with Bette and Tina. Post soon, thanks!
