And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 19
"She’s worth breaking them for Alice," Bette replied, as she looked across the restaurant, her gaze fixed on Tina.
Bette let herself be pulled back into the conversation that was taking place at the table, even though she could have continued to stare at Tina all day.
"What’s up with you two today?" Bette inquired.
"Training, as usual," Dana replied. "I have a tournament starting this weekend that will require my undivided attention on the court all week. I have to work on my back hand or I’ll be crushed like a bug in the first round."
"I’m trying to get a real job," Alice sighed. "This freelance stuff is so irregular that I feel daily anxiety about what the next job will be. I’d rather simply do it in addition to a regular writing gig."
Tina returned to the table carrying a tray filled with her own order as well as Bette’s. She was hurrying to set the tray down as her phone was ringing in her purse.
"Hello," she answered the phone after quickly retrieving it.
Her conversation continued as Bette’s phone rang.
They both worked their way through their respective conversations, oblivious as to what was going on around them.
"Sure glad they were able to join us for breakfast," Alice commented to Dana.
"It’s such a treat to watch the captains of industry sway their power over the masses," Dana replied, facetiously.
Alice and Dana carried on their conversation as the volume of the other women’s voices continued to increase with each word.
Bette’s call was completed first and she started into her breakfast, which consisted of a simple fruit bowl and a slice of dry wheat toast. Tina’s call soon ended with a frustrated sigh as she replaced the phone into her purse.
"Anything up Tee," Bette asked.
"The editing schedule of a movie currently in production has been moved back," Tina began. "It’ll make it tough to open next July long weekend if things don’t get back on track."
"You’re already planning for next July?" Alice asked incredulously. "We haven’t even gotten to this July yet."
"It does contribute to my stress," Tina said. "Trying to juggle a lot of different projects, all with widely varying timelines for completion." She sipped at her latte. "I hate having to crack a whip over someone, but sometimes that’s what it takes to get a job done right."

Romances, advances, charms are in the air. Hmm… it just gets better. loved this.
Your writing is nothing short of sheer perfection! And the last few chapters have been so romantic! The somatic responses your writing elicits make this story just oh so pleasurable. It’s virtually a paradise of sensuality. Thank you so much.

Wonderful chapter. I love when it’s sweet and happy, just can’t get enough.
Romance full tilt, wonderful. Your poise in writing this story, makes it so captivating and contemporary. A pleasure, thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to dwell in their lives. The day-to-day details are not mudane. They are so soul-satisfying!
nt just a *sigh* but a *contented sigh*. that was wonderful. yuor writing is so expressive and thoughful. i love mundane. where would we be without mundane. its the cement of life. thanks ever so much.
I love to see the romance of this new budding couple…
Whenever I read this story I always have this big smile across my face. It’s just so romantic and beautiful. I love it! And the whip- hot!! Can’t wait to see all these plans Bette has
I would say that love is in the air!!! Please continue soon.
Nice and sweet, it is going to be great to see as Aretha would say “Who’s zooming who”. It is great to see Bette willing to be open and ungarded about her feelings for Tina. Please post again soon.
It’s the stolen glances, the knowing smiles and the light touches that make the ordinary take on an extra ordinary sweetness. It’s their playful sexual innuendo that is making their senses even more tuned into each other.
I’m getting the feeling that Alice is either jealous or simply just doesn’t know when to stay out of other people’s business. Glad Bette put her in her place.
ahh plans…I like the sound of that ;-) Wonderfully written as always. Thanks.
That was a fantastic chapter. I love the banter between those two, and then when you add Alice, well just awesome. Can’t wait till dinner tonight
awesome- loving it!
Okay, you know I’ve loved your writing from the very beginning, before your fancy award icon and all. But I need to have a reality check here! Unless your Dana secretly won a jock scholarship to Harvard, went, got smart, met Bette and Tina and then somehow tragically suffered some brain damage, I cannot imagine the following comment coming from her mouth:
“‘It’s such a treat to watch the captains of industry sway their power over the masses,’ Dana replied, facetiously.”
Do I have a point, or do I have a point?
I’m still a die-hard fan and love every word you write! xxoo M.
Well written chapter..I especially liked all the foreshadowing.
Always a pleasure to read. Thanks.
Seems like we have two Ladies that are going to walk on air all day. Romance is in full bloom/ thanks
Loved this. Can’t wait for their plans to be put into action!!
I love the romance and “mundane” (as you put it) thanks and post soon
