"I have a work function on Friday and I was hoping you would be able to come with me," she said, having made a simple yet definitive decision. "I want to introduce you to some people."
Bette paused and looked at Tina, as she rested in her arms.
"That’s a big step," she said quietly, as she ran the backs of her fingers over Tina’s cheek. "Are you sure that’s what you want?"
"I know I want to spend as much time with you as possible," Tina began. "My boss assumed I’d be bringing Eric because everyone knew we were together. Well, now you and I are in a relationship, and I have every intention of being open about that as well. It seems like the right thing to do."
"In that case, I’d love to join you on Friday," Bette agreed with a smile. "It might be the next opportunity I have to see you, tomorrow and Thursday are booked up with meetings."
"The rest of my week is crazy as well," Tina said. "I don’t have to be in tomorrow until 10, but that’s only because we’re reviewing an out of town location tomorrow night. I’ll be lucky if I’m home by 11."
"Where’s the thing Friday?" Bette inquired.
"It’s at my boss’s house," Tina began. "It’s a bar-b-que slash meeting. Hopefully the meeting won’t take long though. No one that I know of has ever been to his house, so apparently this is a bit of a big deal. It was framed as a social event, but I didn’t really get the impression I was allowed to give my regrets."
"I’m interested to meet the people you work with. Maybe I can get some dirt on you or something."
"No dirt to be had babe," Tina replied with a shrug. "The biggest news of the night will probably be that you’re my date, you know. People do like to gossip around our office."
"People like to gossip around every office, Tee," Bette replied. "It camouflages the fact that their lives have no meaning."
"Good way to think about it I guess," Tina laughed. "Well I’m glad I can bring a little entertainment into the lives of others."

Another beautiful chapter! As they say.. absence makes the heart grow fonder, so after 2 1/2 days apart god knows what they’re going to do at the party lol I’m looking foward to the next chaper as always :)
very nice- can’t wait for fri night…
I’m with techgal, the sleeping scene was the greatest. they slept so lovingly. thanks for the update.
That was glorious. I loved them in bed, shifting and drifting until they were connected again. That’s what makes new relationships so sweet, we sometimes forget about those beginnings when we couldn’t get enough of each other’s touch…even in sleep.
Tina’s pep talk to herself about taking Bette to her bosses dinner was nicely addressed. As was her need for reassurance that she was not spending too much time with Bette. They both needed to know that they are on the same page.
Friday night should be both interesting and fun.
“I am ready for this,” she said to herself. “I am.”
If anyone had overheard her assertion, they would not have been convinced.”
Perfect! I want to see Tina struggle with coming out. It is one of the most intense struggles of our lives, and I think we tend to gloss it over because we don’t want to re-live the agony it can cause. Not everyone is going to greet Tina and her date with open arms on Friday night. Even if they are smiling on the outside, you can bet that a few margaritas will have them twittering and pointing and making tuna fish jokes. Opps, sorry, your story. Do what you want!
Can’t wait for the next chapter. M.
It was beautiful how you described them sleeping..that is love. : ) Just an all around wonderful chapter
This a fabulous story and you have captured each character perfectly. I think chapter twenty (20) has been my favorite, really nice job. Can’t wait for chapter twenty-two (22) and the Friday night dinner with Tina’s co-workers. Will it be a good thing or???
Thanks for writing “early days” of Tina and Bette.
What a great chapter, you can really tell how strong this relationship is developing, and two and a half days, that is like 134 dog years! Maybe Tina can stop over after work…please.
LOL, I’m an Sagittarian Aussie what more can I say? I tend to call a spade a spade (for better or worse)! So to quote Tina “Oh God, don’t stop,”
yeah, things feel long in a blossoming relationship. intense and rather fast paced but I guess it’s kinda common in such relationships. good job.

Another excellent chapter, and hot too. Can’t wait for the work event, hope it goes well.
I am just off to shower before I go to work ….. umm …. What shall I ponder upon ?!?!? ……………..
Beautiful, tender, romantic chapter, you have a way of describing not just physical intimacy, but physical interaction so astutely, one feels like a voyeur. It is a pleasure Swim, thank you.
I think I might actually like the R chapters better than the NC-17’s. LOL. This was sweet and wonderful and very well paced. More please, whenever you have the time. :)
OMG!! i just love this story u have a great gift for writing and it makes me look foward to reading ur stories. thanx for posting u made my night mayb tonite ill actually be able to sleep LOL. POST SOON!!!!
dont know what to comment on first. this had me giggling tho. you wrote “her movements were patterned and meticulous.” for some reason that struck me as funny. i could totoaly see bette doing that. sorry. what a way to go to bed. with a smile on my face. thanks for being a detail whore. it feeds my addiction. post soon please.
I forgot to say kiitos…mista pain maailmaa olet kotoisin?
what a nice pleasant to start a day with.. hee.. :) great update!!
The sleeping scene was the greatest. The excite of the newness of their love is very authentic and palpable. Finding that new ‘other’ in the night, so different from sleeping alone.
This story is great!
This was a very nice chapter and made me blush a bit. Hopefully Tina won’t regret taking Bette to the barbeque on Friday.
Wow! You must really care about your readers…why else would you find a nice sentence like that in Finnish. It’s not like it is a very common language =)
Another great chapter can’t wait to see how the party turns out!!!
So glad I decided to check in one more time before going to bed, not that sleep is going to come easy after reading this. Definitly know my morning shower is not gonna go that way, and I would have been late to work, one does have priorities. Bette will charm them on Friday. Can’t wait for the update.
You’re right, it is too far away.
Post soon…..
When I read your story I feel happy. What a gift it is to create and convey such a strong emotion.
Hey JKS great chapter. love how they find each other while sleeping. cant wait for the party. maybe B&T will slip away for a quickie during the party. LOL post soon
WHOA! Still Wonderful Story Whoa! very Sexy LOL! I hope the party is smooth With Bette Thanks Please continue post soon.
Good job slowing things down a bit!!! But, please don’t go too slow!!! Post soon.
That was GRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEAATTT!
Wow.
I never knew that simple communication could be so hot. What are your feelings towards writing R rated chapters?lol
p.s- I may not comment for a while…school starts soon…so no more fan fiction for me. Thanks for brightening up my summer days with your wonderful chapters.
-special out-
“We’ll see what Friday night brings.” Bring it on!
SIMPLY DELICIOUS!! Yet another perfect blend of love, lust and emotion….it’s hard to believe that you struggle with the “R” chapters…everthing flows so naturally!
“It camouflages the fact that their lives have no meaning.” Remarkable observation…Remarkably phrased. But then, I’m not surprised…you’re remarkable! Justkeepwriting, Swim, and I’llkeepreading. I have a weakness for quality craftsmanship.
Wow that was hot and awesome, love it. Ok let see about Friday!
