    And it Started With a Phone call Chapter 23

     

    "You didn’t know Mike," Tina said. "There was no way you could have known. But given the circumstances, I don’t think it could have gone any better."

     

    Bette felt like the odd one out of this conversation, but forged ahead to redirect their evening.

     

    "After such an uneventful time of holding my hand in front of your co-workers for the first time, can I assume that will never happen again?" she asked with a cautious smile.

     

    Tina reached and took Bette’s hand in hers once again.

     

    "Everyone’s going to know you’re my date by the end of the evening," she said proudly. "I happen to think I’m the luckiest person here."

     

    At that moment, what could only be described as a butler announced that dinner was served. They made their way to the one of the several set picnic tables that dotted the massive backyard. Each table had a variety of salads and freshly grilled vegetables at the centre.

     

    After everyone was seated, the sound of a spoon against a glass drew everyone’s attention toward Edward. The din of conversation died down to allow him to address the group.

     

    "Thank you all for joining us this evening," he began. "Alphaville is still a small studio with a real family feel to it. I believe that if we can work together toward similar goals, there is no limit to what we will be able to achieve. Thank you all for bringing your friends and loved ones out this evening. Both John and I are most pleased to share our house with all of you. There’s no shortage of food, so don’t be shy about going for seconds. A platter of barbqued steaks and burgers will be supplied to each table, and there are vegetarian choices as well if you’ll just let your server know that is your preference."

     

    A polite round of applause followed his comments and the conversations got underway once again.

    Bette and Tina found themselves alone at the table after they had finished the meal. Tina leaned in to Bette before she spoke.

     

    "I really do think I’m the luckiest person here you know," she said quietly.

    1. Well done, and thank you for the “drama-free” chapter. This weekend has served with sooo much heartache from other writers, I am worn out. I enjoy your story and your writing.

    2. Great story and really well paced. And i agree with your comments – life is dramatic enough – its good to have fantasy and escape into a happier world! Please keep writing.

    3. Delightful!! I love this story, the sweetness is enchanting. I suspect drama is coming but nonetheless, the ride so far has been divine!! I am a notoriously picky reader of everything Tina-esque (I don’t know why, other than I’m just kind of odd) and I really really like your Tina. Alot. She’s a peach. Makes me understand how Bette fell for her… something I’ve had trouble with in the past. Anyway, wonderful!!! Great writing too – well deserved award for you!

    4. absolutely delightful! as others have said, a much needed balm after all the drama that we have been dished out by the other authors! liked the maturity of tina and eric’s conversation. thanks for the update!

    5. WHOA! Hey I’m still reading LOL! I Love it yes really delightful and Wonderful Story I really Love it Thanks for this Awesome Story so tomorrow I’m going out of town so I’m going to Arlington VA visit my mother I’m gonna Missed the Story I guess I’m just gonna catch soon! so keep up the good job I’ll really Love the Story Please continue post soon Thanks.

    6. im absolutely giddy. jks has posted. this was so well done. the scene with eric spot on, girl. there desire for each other knows know bounds and we can feel it. thanks for your authors comments. there is way to much heavy drama. we need some but jeez dont kill us. thanks for this sunday afternoon delight.

    7. Simply beautiful! It’s good to see that Tina’s little coming out party went well. Gotta love Bette getting Tina turned on in public, only adds more fuel to the fire when they get into the bedroom ;) Can’t wait for more!

    8. Hi Fins, Poor Eric, but how classy he reacted! You can’t help to feel bad for him. I liked when he admitted that if Tina was with a man, he would have tried to win her back. How nice that Tina had such a positive coming our story, especially at work. Wouldn’t it be nice if all coming out stories were so positive!!!

    9. Nice job.

      Eric turned out to be the better man. He left with his dignity in tact. A class act. I hope that was not just a smoke screen.

      Tina didn’t balk and jumped right off of the high dive! Personal freedom is very empowering. Even better when your host is a Friend of Dorothy.

    10. Talk about coming out, damn. But I liked how it took care of some of Tina’s fears and at the same time silenced someone who you just know was going to say something insulting. Nice twist with the boss. Eric well what can you say, he handled it like a gentlemen. Great update.

    11. <<“Oh God,” he said with a groan as held his thumb and forefinger to his furrowed brow. >>
      I could see this so clearly. My heart ached a little for Eric. But it also jumped for joy with B&T. Okay, why was I trying to click “Next page” at the end of the story? Help me somebody. Loving this story.

    12. I’m with beltmaker and everyone else who loves this story and your top notch writing. So many use drama for drama’s sake. I’ve never had an appreciation for that style of writing. I enjoy authors who allow the story to dictate direction rather than vice-a-versa. Thank you and please keep the well written chapters coming.

    13. I’m glad that Eric was a nice gentleman and realized without any hassle when his presense was no longer needed. This was a sweet chapter and I am glad that Tina was able to come out of the closet so easily. Then again, if I had Bette as my girlfriend I would do it with ease as well. =)
      You are doing great with you Finnish. And yes the language is very difficult, but at least the pronounciation is easy….you just have to prononce every single letter. We’re not as lazy as the English speaking people. JK =)
      Kiitos ja jatka samaan malliin. Olet yksi mun suosikkikirjailijoista!

    14. Hey Swim, Honestly I have to tell you that this story is getting better and better. That’s another great chapter. And I really like the way you cope with Eric. As always looking forward for more.

    15. Thanks for this chapter you called it in you forewordcomment “drama Free” It was beautiful written and Tina got to tell hnd show her co-worker her love. thanks so much

    16. I love how you concluded this chapter. You never fail to please – so much detail, so many varied scenes and all the action that you manage to pack into each episode of this compelling story.
      And you bring it all to a close with the whisper-light nuances of their lovemaking.

      Love it! Drama is highly overrated!

    17. Perfect! What more can I say?? This story is “swimming” right along….I think what I like the most is how you bring “reality” to the story. I can’t tell you how many times I could relate to B&T’s thoughts, feelings and experiences, it brings back such fond memories….Thank You!

    18. Nice to see Eric is intelligent and cares enough about Tina to know when to let her go. Given that he’d just attempted to date Bette I’m sure he’d be feeling like a fool. Very smooth all ’round – Tina had a lucky break with her boss and his partner but that’s not to say she didn’t have to take a stand and declare herself. Glad to see she had the courage to do so. Love this fic!
