Tina paused at this question and a grin flirted with the corners of her mouth.
"Yeah, I definitely like her," she finally responded.
"And you enjoy the physical relationship you’ve had with her so far, right?" Sharon asked.
Tina made direct eye contact with her friend before she spoke.
"The ***** is mind blowing," Tina stated unequivocally. "I honestly didn’t know it could be so good."
"So it doesn’t sound like you think you’ve made a mistake, or that this will be simply a short term fling," Sharon continued.
"I hope it’s not a short term fling," Tina said simply. "If that’s what it turned out to be, it wouldn’t be my decision."
"How much more do you absolutely have to do this afternoon?" Sharon asked.
"I want to get a first draft done on this proposal and" Tina started.
"No, no no, I didn’t ask what you want to get donewhat do you have to do before you leave this office for a well deserved weekend?" Sharon restated.
"Well, I could leave right now," Tina said tentatively, almost as if she was asking for permission.
"Get out of here, go to Bette’s and talk to her before you go to Edward’s later."
"Are you bringing someone tonight?" Tina asked, hoping for another ally.
"A few of us from production are meeting for drinks first to kind of hash through a long term plan for the department, so it will be more work than play. I decided to go it on my own this time"
"You’re right," Tina said. "I’m going to leave now, head over to the gallery and see if Bette can get away any earlier. She was already planning on leaving at 4:30 so we could have some time to ourselves first, and I don’t know if any earlier will even be possible."
"I think you two should discuss this before you let yourself get all bent out of shape," Sharon suggested. "I’m sure she’ll understand if you want to process things some more before outing yourself to everyone at work."
"Thanks, Sharon, you did help provide some perspective," Tina said. "I’ll see you at about seven?"

uh.. this is gonna be interesting….
OUUUCCCCHHHHHHHH!!!!
Oh my, I wonder how poor Eric is going to react to this? I can’t help but to feel sorry for him. On the other hand, how cool that Tina’s boss is playing for her team! Great chapter…always love your writing!
OK… so it’s totally normal for Eric to show up in Tina’s life again your worlds are not likely to change completely over night… but immediately after Tina’s made her first public declaration of being a lesbian – well now that was not expected.
Bette will make it OK, right? Eric will not make a big scene, right? C’mon, coming out is hard enough as it is.
Love the story, thanks.
Hello Justkeepswimming……I am coming on board a little late but please know that I am enjoying this story very much. I am looking forward in seeing how you take us off this cliff.
Big step for Tina, love that Bette was so understanding. He Boss made it so easy. Yet Eric will raise a little hell. I just hope he is man enough to just walk away and not to start any trouble. Thanks
Enjoyed it. I really like the understanding and supportive Bette. What’s up with Eric? Can you say DRAMA!!
hehehe i love drama!! lol excellent as always thanx byeness<3389237598235789
Oh god..not Eric. Go away. Great chapter and I am glad Tina got up the nerve to say Better was her girlfriend.
Oh. This is going to be real interesting! I’m tingling from the anticipation.
Great chapter, I love how Bette is so supportive of Tina and is not pushing her to come out. It is great that Tina mustard up the courage to intoduce Bette as her gf. For his oun sake, I hope that Eric does not make a scene or do something stupid. It appears that he does not realize that his host and boss is also a homosexual, therefore it really would be a BAD move on his part to let Mike or his ego force his into making a rude comment. I think that Tina should make sure that she returns the favor and introduce Bette to her Boss and his partner. Again, excellent chapter and I can hardly wait for the next chapter. You go girl!!!!
This story keeps getting better and better everytime you post. Keep up the good work, I can’t wait for the next chapter.
OK, you’re bad, in fact you’re positively evil and I’m loving every minute of it. I think we had about as much chance as Tina of seeing Eric coming into this chapter – nice twist! It’s also nice to see Bette as the understanding girlfriend – who wouldn’t fall in love with that??? And as for Dec 2, it’s 5 days too early. Thanks for writing.
wow..big step for Tina. she got it out finally. and bette being supportive,juz felt right.oh yeah! :) can’t wait what’s next…post soon!!!!
‘oh yeah’ indeed! great chapter!
K
Great chapter as always. I hope things go well with Eric there. Glad Tina told them who Bette is. Love it.
And you could hear a pin drop…
I LOVE the way you have with Bette’s dialogue. It’s so reasoned, so intelligent, so heartfelt. So…Bette (and in way, so JB-like). The bit of dialogue where she expresses her support for Tina – it’s just so lacking in cliche (sorry to express my praise in the negative).
Why, it’s a revelation!!!!!
What is Eric going to do? And you thought Mike’s comments were qa
Tina’s waffling on whether or not to come out at the party was nicely done. It’s new to her and still a big step, for anyone regardless of the length of time they have known about their sexuality.
Bette’s support and the candid conversation she had with her was the right thing to do. Tina needed to know that no matter what her decision, all would still be right between her and Bette.
Now, I’m rolling along in the story having a great time and then WHAM! I was spewing my tea all over the place. Don’t know why I didn’t anticipate Eric…but now I have to go and clean off my monitor.
Nice cliffhanger…even better chapter.
Way to go tina!!! Great chapter please post soon.
first things first ur stories r so worth the wait and the second thing u r very evil leaving us hanging like that, a very good chapter and im very glad that tina had the courage to introduce bette as her gf now as for the eric thing this is gonna be interesting considering he didnt no that tina left him for her. the next chapter is gonna be so good. cant wait!
Now there’s a hell of a toast! I love it!!! “To hot looking gay chicks!”
I’ve been waiting so long. I was afraid you weren’t going to post again. Keep writing, Swim. I know creativity takes time. So I’ll try to be patient. ‘Cause it’s so damn good when it comes.
Ymmärsit kysymykseni oikein. Kiitos vastauksesta. So would you prefer me to continue writing to you in Finnish? You could learn an interesting foreign language that way. LOL
This was a great chapter. I’m so glad that Tina decided to take Bette after all and that Bette was so agreeable. Now it will interesting to see what will happen next with Eric. I’m glad that Tina’s boss is in the minority as well. =)
Niiiice–Eric walking in to the party. B-)
The couse of true love …. huh ?!?! Wicked, go Tina !! Your characters rock, almost at most as much as their writer does. Thank you swim, lekker.

great chappy jks. love how supportive bette is. cant wait to see erics reaction to B&T holding hands. love teh chemistry between B&T
I’m leaving for the weekend, but just had to pause for a moment to say: “I LOVED IT!”
Good for T, it should be interesting how she deals with Eric, now no fisticups….
K, that was good. I didn’t see that coming. I like Bette in this story. very good gf. But it’s good to see that Tina has more than just one ally in the room, so if Eric acts up, someone will put him in his place. at least I hope so. great story.
Tb to the c, I love that and this chapter. Way to go Tina.
Great story!! It should be interesting to see how this is played out!!! Please don’t leave us hanging for too long!!!
wonder how eric’s gonna react, absolutely brilliant as usual!
JKS,
Oh lordy, looks like the cat is well and truly out of the bag with Eric then.
How will he deal with this news? How will Tina react? How will Bette respond?
A worthy installment to this marvelous melodrama. Brilliantly plotted and observed.
It brightens my day to see a new post from you as it means that I get to see more of you terrific writing.
Fabulous cliffhanger to taunt us all with.
Please post soon and put me out of the misery of not knowing what Eric will so.
Your Loyal Fan.
Well I see you’re up late again…I’m starting to feel a bit like you’re following me. LOL This was a fantastic chapter…good to see Tina being honest about her fears and Bette being supportive instead of being upset that Tina may have felt a need to “hide” her. And of course you know I love the cliffhangers!
Oh you definately spiced things up! I’m so glad Tina was bold enough to say Bette is her girlfriend, but now that Eric is there I’m sure something big is guna go down. Can’t wait!
Eric who??? Tina’s got Bette and all’s right with her world! I love your style JKS! Thanks!
THis is gonna be good. Not that it wasn’t good already, yu know what I mean.Thanks for taking the time.
