    Author Notes:

    Monday Monday…can’t trust that day…

     

    She smiled in anticipation as she answered.

     

    "Hi Tina," said the familiar voice on the other end. "It’s me."

     

    Tina felt a bit deflated.

     

    "Hi, Eric," she responded, trying to remain light. "How are you?" It was meant more as a social greeting than an actual question and she hoped he wouldn’t begin to tell her of his woes, as he did the first week after she broke up with him.

     

    "I’m okay," he replied. "Sharon called me yesterday afternoon and I just wanted to make sure she tracked you down."

     

    "Thanks for calling Eric," Tina replied. "Yes, we did manage to find each other." He was a nice enough guy; checking to make sure she was okay evidenced that characteristic about him. But he was no Bette Porter.

     

    "You’re doing well?" he asked. The hurt still came through in his voice.

     

    "I am, thanks Eric," she replied. Now was not the time to sound too jubilant. She actively repressed the sound of elation that had characterized her tone the past few days. "I have a few things I need to pick up at your place. And I want to drop off the keys, as well."

     

    "I’m in court toward the end of the week, so anytime you want to drop by is fine, I just won’t be there," Eric said. "Late nights doing prep and all, you know. I can get the keys anytime. Unless you want to drop by tonight. I’m home tonight," he finished hopefully.

     

    "Thanks Eric, it’ll have to be later in the week." Tina thought it best that she put an end to any thoughts he had of reconciliation.

     

    They said their goodbyes and Tina hung up only to lift the receiver and check her voice mail.

     

    "Goddamnit!" There was a message. She punched in the code to retrieve it.

     

    "Hi Tina," the familiar voice this time was the one she had hoped for when she actually heard the phone ring. "I’m just stepping into a meeting myself, so I’ll try to catch you this afternoon." There was a pause in Bette’s message. "I’m thinking of you."

     

    Tina smiled and quickly realized she should call Sharon with her order for lunch.

    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.

    6. 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!

    7. 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!

    9. 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.

    10. 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.

    11. 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!

    16. love the banter. the love story. sharon was great. im thrilled everytime i see youve posted. know something good is coming my way.

      congrats on the award. you deserved it.

    20. 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.

    21. 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!

    22. COngrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on your FanFicAwards..woo hooooo~ ooo,correlation coefficient and the p-values..don’t really like them,i’ve studied them for a while..hee. Hmm..didn’t Tina told Eric about Bette when they broke up?? Can’t wait for the next installment!

    23. The card was so romantic ! …. lol ….. “many a true word is said in jest”, I believe is the saying. Your writing is quite lovely, extremely engaging, I thank you.
