And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 18
Tina reached across, refolded the newspaper into its constituent sections and re-assembled the entire structure so that it appeared to not have been touched.
Bette brought over the mugs, both filled, and set one in front of Tina and the other to her immediate left.
"I can’t help but think I’m forgetting something." Bette said as she feigned an examination of the room for a reminder of what she wanted.
"Ah," Bette said, as if struck by an epiphany. "I haven’t kissed you this morning." She leaned in toward Tina, who continued to sit with one knee bent and her foot resting flat on the chair seat. "We still have to have a good morning kiss every day, we’re not old and married yet."
Tina pulled her head back involuntarily, briefly delaying the contact between them.
"Yet?"
"Oh shut up and kiss me," Bette realized too late the implication of her phrasing, but chose to ignore it rather than back track. Her lips touched Tina’s lightly, but then with slightly more pressure, as she reached behind Tina’s head to gently hold her. The urgency of their connection built upon itself as each woman escalated the contact, searching the other’s lips with her own.
Bette stood away from the kiss and grinned at Tina.
"Well, good morning to you too," Tina finally managed to say as she watched Bette pour some milk into her mug of steaming coffee.
"You can shower first," Bette said as she sat back down. "I have a couple of calls to make before going in to the gallery this morning. I try to get all my East coast calls in before 8am if possible, so I always do them from home."
"Do you have any ideas as to what I should wear today?" Tina inquired, more than a little disappointed they wouldn’t be showering together.
"Just search through the closet," Bette suggested. "Wear anything you’d like." She blew over the tendrils of steam as they washed over the side of her mug, in an attempt to hasten the liquid to cool for her consumption.
Tina took in Bette’s actions and rose from the table. She opened the freezer door, popped two ice cubes from a tray and returned to place one into her mug of coffee. She then raised her eyebrow in question to Bette as to whether or not she wanted the other to accomplish the same task for her coffee. Bette slid her cup forward for Tina to place the cube inside it. Tina returned to her seat and sipped at the now quickly cooling mug of coffee.
"I have to go make those calls," Bette said as she stood from the table and picked up her coffee. She paused as if deep in thought and then spoke again. "I’m glad you decided to stay last night. I slept so well with you here."
Tina reached out to grasp Bette’s hand briefly. "Thanks for asking me. Now go make your calls before I decide it’s my mission to try to distract you this morning."
Both women continued to ready themselves for the day ahead.
_______________
It was approaching 8 o’clock by the time they were both ready to make their way out the door. Bette walked from the bedroom to see Tina slipping on her shoes in the entry way.
"Have everything?" Bette asked.
"I didn’t show up with much," Tina laughed. "Just the clothes on my back." She held up a paper grocery bag that contained her outfit from the previous day.
"You look great as usual," Bette offered as her bare feet took her to stand beside Tina. "Hey you’re a little taller than me when you have heels on." They were almost eye-to-eye as she spoke.
"I like being taller than you," Tina said as she pulled Bette in for a quick kiss. "Makes me feel in charge."
"I think you’re more in charge than you know," Bette admitted as she slipped on her own shoes.
They were soon on their separate ways to the same destination.

Don’t think you need to tweak anything. Length doesn’t necessarily equate with quality. Please continue to entertain my idle mind with your exceptional thoughts. Thanks!
i totally agree with “lovebt” … :)
The length is perfect as is the flow of the story – don’t change a thing because this rocks as it is.
Well well, your story is like the purchase of a fine wine, the beginning – full of expectation and excitement, the wait – for it to warm and develop full body, …. Right now I think we are the stage of having decanted it, and the perfume is positively exceptional, and after sampling and pulling the flavours across ones pallet, no flaws are to be found. All that remains is to sip and nurture this superb flavour and scarlet hew as it swills in the crystal of your descriptions.
Thank you.
