And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 20
________________
Tina was waiting to grill the fish until Bette arrived. It’s quick enough to sear a fresh tuna steak, but next to impossible to keep it edible if you need to re-warm it after it’s been cooked. She continued to add the vegetable broth to the risotto as it simmered on the stove. The tender grains slowly soaked up the liquid, as the flavour and colour of the saffron intermingled with the mild spices and fresh garden peas that were part of the dish. The aromas permeated the kitchen and had a calming effect on Tina as she focused on the process. She heard a knock at the front door, and added just a bit more liquid to the deep wide pan before turning the flame down to answer the door.
She opened the door to Bette, smiling her gorgeous smile, and carrying what appeared to be a bag large enough for a two-week stay. Bette saw the amused look on Tina’s face and before a word of greeting started to explain her choice.
"I lent my small bag to Alice and she hasn’t given it back yetthis one isn’t full, I promise," she hurried the comment out as she stepped into Tina’s apartment.
"Let me put it in the bedroom," Tina said chuckling. "You brought winewhy don’t you take it into the kitchen and pour us a couple of glasses, I’ll be right there."
Bette went into the kitchen and set the wine down while she sought out a corkscrew. She was searching through drawers when Tina came back in.
"Cutlery drawer, to the right of the sink," Tina walked to the opposite end of the counter from where Bette was standing and opened the drawer, setting the waiter’s corkscrew on the counter before stepping toward the stove to check on the risotto.
Bette started to open the wine and threw a comment casually over her shoulder.
"Tina?"
"Yes?" Tina paused and looked back over at Bette.
"Thanks for the phone message this morning," Bette started. "I must have replayed it 10 times over the course of the day."
Tina turned her body wholly toward Bette as she let go of the spoon with which she stirred the rice.

started to read this story today and couldnt pull myself away until i read all the chapters. great story post soon
Fins, I was away and just caught up on your last couple of chapters…bravo! I love how strong and powerful Tina is, but I am looking forward to see how she handles Friday night. Even though she made her decision to ask Bette while in a state of bliss, I wonder if she is not going to have angst when the actual time of introductions comes closer…
absolutely wonderful. I love how you write!
What’s with ??, you should know by now we love this story. The verbal foreplay is as hot as the two of them. So glad Tina invited Beth. Can’t wait till your next update.
I’ll have something of substance to say about your delicate prose at a later time. Sorry for being so silly right now. It’s late…
Okay:
Glad to see that the depth of their interaction made Tina’s mind up for her. Looking forward to the party.
Michael Kors? Private gallery ownership must pay well. Who knew???? Bette probably knows him personally, she’s so fabulous! Eric who?
“Tina’s moist, exquisitely soft flesh” Yes ma’am!!!!!
Have you heard the new slogan of the ‘Sweets Council’?
Tina, it’s what’s for dessert!
Your dinner sounded pretty good as well! You and Carolann should collaborate on a meal!
TBC? You’re being too modest, I’m sure.
wow…i loved the expensive suit part! Your description on the food was detailed and actually made me hungry at 8 o’clock in the morning. You know, I’m definitely not a writer, I can only write professional business agreements etc. So it is wonderful for me to read your story. It makes me wonder where you get such a talent….I would like to visit that place. LOL! Kiitos!
Great chapter please post soon!!!
I believe your adoring fans have expressed more aptly than I am able, the talent you posses. Smooth, and sexy, the heat is palpable, and the early fires of love well stoked I think. Thank you so much for posting.
JKS, it is NEVER too late to comment. ;) At least that’s what I keep telling myself when I realize I’m behind on comments. This chapter was wonderful…so was the last one…you know how much I love the little details of everyday life, and you write them so well. Thank you. :))
The tbc(?) is a joke right?
Fave quote of all time:
———-
“I’m going to make you come so hard, you won’t want to leave this apartment for the rest of the week”
DAYUM!
JKS,
I have just recently caught up with all your wonderful chapters. This is a fabulous story and you must continue.
I love the way that you capture the complete entricment between Bette and Tina. This sudden and real connection nakes your tale so captivating.
Please post soon.
A loyal fan.
I hope “?” is only testing the water thing. I really like this story, you know that, do you? I’ll try to make comments more often. Swim, you better prepare yourself for my linguistic errors then LOL. wonderful chapter!
Wonderful and Amazing chapter, and I just loved the way you handled the love scene. Big step for Tina to ask Bette to go to her “work function”, but after a night like they spent together it was a easy decision. I’m looking foward to Bette laying on the charm and wooing her colleagues, and later maybe the weekend at Bette’s. Please continue this is a lovley story.
i’m sure you are a good cook? hee… coz i can juz imagine those delicacies you descibe. yum yum. great post.. do post soon!!
WOW JKS your story is fantastic. I just read all the chapters. The B&T scenes are remarkable. I can picture them in my mind when i read your words. keep up the great workand post soon.
From the previous chapters we know that Bette is ready. Heck! You don’t let someone borrow your $’000 clothes and then not want to be seen with them in public! It’s a clear decision on Tina’s part. If Bette says no, then that would be very strange.
Said it before, I’ll say it again. You just continue to bring it! Everytime. Thanks JKS, I read and savor every word of every post. Had to comment this time since there was a ransom involved……..just keep writing….
Bravo — I just caught up on all of this and it’s amazingly exquisite. I can only hope there aren’t problems down the road for them, though I expect there might be … in say 7 years or so (ha ha) … they’re just too perfectly perfect together and you write them magically, not overly flowery or silly or trite. Terrific, terrific writing –please continue!!!
Very nicely done. I love the verbal foreplay of these two. Please post soon.
A jock, an intellectual, a writer, and now…gourmet cook! You are the Renaissance Woman!
I loved your depiction of B&T making love. It is sexy without being raunchy. The verbal foreplay really reminds us that the mind is the largest of all sexual organs!
I have to comment on the grammar, formatting, and structure of your prose. I have been distressed that recent “award winners” could not even put together a decent sentence. This round of winners restores my faith that writing, as an art form, has not been completely abandoned in this world!
Keep up the wonderful work, and remember the little people when you become famous!
nice- love that the interaction between the 2 instilled enough confidence in Tina concerning their relationship to ask Bette to the Fri night event. can’t wait to read more.
OK…what’s this tbc(?) crap??!!! ;-)
I think that the comments above attest loud and clear to the fact that many of us are eagerly awaiting the next chapter. Thanks for writing.
I’m glad that Tina finally realized that the only opinion of what Bette is to her…is hers. Nice to see she’s taking Bette to her work dinner.
As for how you handle a love scene, very nicely. Very nicely, indeed. You allowed their caring, passion and desire for each other to shine through. Always leave them wanting more.
I loved Tina’s innocence in what clothes she had on. But very resourceful of her to find out.
I think it’s the subtle nuances of new love that you so wonderfully depict that make this such a fun story to read.
What with the ? mzrk. Just keep on writing. A lot of people reads but dont have time to comment. Sometime I need to do something and come back later to comment Love the love scence. You should them more often. Thanks
why this(?)?????? now on the middle of all this hot thing… please continue soon…
Look, I’m not easily impressed. Pure and simple. But I am in total and complete awe of your writing ability. If I had half your talent I’d be beating down the door of some highly acclaimed publisher.
You make me laugh; you make me remember; I swear, in this chapter, you’ve taken words I’ve spoken in the past almost verbatim out of my mouth; you make me feel. And, then, not that I’m looking for them, I don’t even notice any glaring grammatical errors or anything blare out to me. I gotta say it again, this is just sheer perfection. Please don’t stop writing this story any time soon. Just trust your instincts and do what you want to do with it. And while I’m extremely shy and don’t communicate with women on this board, I’m sure if you follow your writer’s heart, you’ll find you have a bevy of admirers you didn’t know you even had (such as myself), ’cause I just started commenting a little over a week ago. I hope this all doesn’t sound ridiculously saccharine, because I’m trying to be as honest and sincere as possible. I gotta go listen to some music now. You just keep writing and posting. I love this story!
wow….can’t wait for the next chapter
Just got caught up and I am carried away as usual with your extreme talent.
I’m hoping the (?) is Bette asking Tina what time to be ready on Friday!?! LOL Thanks for another perfect chapter….just enough to satisfy us for the moment, and plenty to string us along for the next….I love it, keep up the fantastic work! p.s. I just watched Finding Nemo again last night, I think I’ve finally figured out what your “swimming” i.d. is all about? am I right???
Hot!!
JKS … I stayed up reading all 20 chapters this evening. This story is absolutely intoxicating.
Good chapter. What a beautiful day and dinner for Bette and Tina, and can’t wait to see Friday coming. Post soon, thanks!
