And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 24
They continued to kiss as Bette basked in the bliss of Tina’s efforts to please her. The night soon turned into another example of how this romance was moving completely beyond their control.

Two weeks later
Bette’s breathing pattern slowly started to normalize as Tina made her way back up the bed and draped her arm over Bette’s stomach. A light sheen of perspiration covered both of them.
"You must still be making up for lost time," Bette said, kissing the top of Tina’s head as she glanced at the bedside clock. "It’s three in the afternoon and all we’ve done is have breakfast and make love."
"I have a lot of catching up to do," Tina said as she rested on Bette’s shoulder. "Considering what we had to scrape up for breakfast, though, I think we should go for groceries at some point," Tina suggested. "If I’m going continue to spend weekends here, I’d actually like to cook."
Bette’s pondering silence was quickly misinterpreted as Tina attempted to backtrack in her comments.
"I didn’t mean to imply I’ll be here all the time, it’s just that we have to eat, and you’re not much for having food in the house and" Tina hurried to clarify her words.
Bette placed her fingertips on Tina’s lips to keep her from continuing on.
"I actually want to go grocery shopping with you," she said quietly. "And I don’t know whether that should make me feel giddy or scared."
Tina held Bette’s hand to her mouth and kissed her fingers before lowering it to speak.
"Why would you feel scared," Tina asked.
"We’ve only been dating for three weeks, but I feel like I’ve been with you all my life," Bette replied, unsure of what such an admission might lead to.
"Dating exclusively for three weeks," Tina corrected as she propped her head up on her hand, with her elbow resting on the surface of the bed. "but dating for six weeks. It practically is a lifetime considering what you’ve told me about the duration of your previous relationships. If history is any indication, I think my ability to maintain your attention might be just about over."

Oh i can’t wait to see what Tina will do to “hold” Bette’s attention!! Post soon!
This chapter was funny. Please post soon.
I have loved your story from it´s very beginning. It´s refreshing, laughable and I have found it quite compelling to my imagination to wonder about which direction you´ll take usin your next chapter. I love the Bette “I am head over heels in love” Porter because she´s sweet, funny almost childish when it comes to Tee. So please post soon so we won´t be left in suspense of how Tina is going to keep Bette´s interest.æ
Very funny chapter. I guess T doesnt realize she wont have to do anything to keep Bette’s attention.
Post again soon
I love this story, and I too am looking forward to Tina’s antics to capture and hold Bette’s attention. Post soon.

“This,” Tina said condescendingly, “is a grocery cart. We pick uncooked food from the shelves and place it in the cart. Then we pay for it and take it home and store the food in your fridge and cupboards.”
“Oh you are such a comedienne,” Bette replied. “The only reason I’m here is to see your nipples perk up in the frozen food aisle.”
******
Priceless.
I love this story :)
They are utterly delightful together. And I agree, I can’t imagine Tina will have to do much, if anything, to keep Bette’s attention. Your writing is wonderful, sweet, finely detailed and with a great flair. It’s neat to read someone who makes you actually want to hang out with these people, even if it is only to sit back and watch them be in love.
I have a feeling Tina won’t need to do anything more than just be herself to maintain Bette’s attention at the club. Bette is clearly smitten with her and its just too cute! Can’t wait for more :)

Excellent as always. I just love your story. I hope all goes well at the club.
Great comedy and light heartedness, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing what happens when they get to the club, should be interesting.
Love Tina’s confidence vis-a-vis Bette.
Glad she has a sense of humor about it.
Hope they have fun at the club.
Can’t wait to read your next chapter.
My blood pressure (Chicki!) hasn’t dropped through the soles of my feet from reading this. I thank you.
Yes, that is a compliment.
This is a ‘5’.
Nothing else to report.
Just keep swimming, we’ll keep reading and
…God save the queen!
Oh, you wanted some direction for the narrative?
How about this: They go to the club. Tina rebuffs all the leches who come onto her, the ‘fresh meat’, the ‘straight girl’. Bette needs restraining. Alice is no help. Shane provides the perspective. Bette learns what it’s like to be on the other side of the issue. Dana is clueless.
Ho-hum, the usual cliches…
See why we leave the fanfic writing to you? You’re doing just fine without the Peanut Gallery getting in the mix!
Write what you like, I’m sure it we’ll love and hang on every word!
Unimaginatively yours,
T.G.
im clappin and foot stompin. can it get any better than this. i heart you. i love this story. techie is cracking me up. i dont, well i do care to a degree, care where you take us, cuz i trust you with my heart to be kind. so lead and ill follow. this was funny, the cukes, the nipples, the cart, did you take funny pills today? pleaseeee post again, soon. thanks.
Lovely chapter, very cute to see Bette all wide-eyed in the supermarket. It’ll be interesting to see if Tina ups the ante at the club, though I’m sure it would be very clear to anyone within a mile of these two that they only have eyes for each other. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
Great chapter, i love the way they talk to one another. can’t wait for more. soon i hope
You have great lines in this one as always. The comment about mangos was inspired.
ooh i want to go shopping now. love the pinky finger comment. i would love to have bette or tina wrapped around my pinky. LOL the club will be interesting for tina will all the girls coming on to bette.
Some great comedy in this chapter keep up the good work post soon!!!!
lol. I agree with the others, Bette only has eyes for Tina.
The playful Bette is so entertaining. I love the ease in how you convey their convergence and attraction even in the everyday. Thanks!
This one was funny!! I could even see the excitement in Bette’s eyes. Good one as usual!
LOL, loooveeed the banter between the two.
Your too funny, “this is a grocery cart”. This story caught my attention from the begining and you still have it. Can’t wait for tonight. I don’t really think Tina has to worry about keeping Bette’s attention, but I’m sure its gonna be fun to see what she does. Maybe you’ll post again tonight.
This was absolutely fantastic! I was grinning like a moron all throughout the story. Got some weird looks from classmates though..apparently researching your thesis ain’t supposed to be funny..if they only knew!!!…
great update! have really loved reading this story.. it doesnt even matter if there is no drama; ur writing style is entertaining enough! thanks!
Again a good chapter.You have a good sense of humor you add into this story..Please keep up the good work and post soon!!
I want to go shopping with Bette. Great story. More please… :)
Ahh, new love. Perfect example of how a new couple usually goes into sexual seclusion for weeks on end. Just can’t get enough of each other.
The banter between Tina and Bette was great. Loved Tina being so cocky by holding up her pinky finger and challenging Bette to tell her it’s not true about being wrapped around it!
Oh, Bette has led a sheltered grocery shopping life, hasn’t she? Truly funny at the store. Like a kid in a candy store.
I can only imagine the grief that Alice will give them for being out of touch for so long. Hopefully, she doesn’t frighten Tina away!
If Bette is truly into Tina, nothing from Bette’s past will matter. She will only have eyes for Tina. However, that still doesn’t mean that Tina won’t be anxious about the whole thing.
Can’t wait.
.I really believe that One Ms Tina Kennard has Bettes attention Grocery shopping with Bette is like going to the Zoo with children,never know what they will say and do. thanks
AWWWWWW….How sweet! I can’t wait to see what Tina is cooking up, and I don’t mean in the kitchen (wink wink) :)
lol thx, hilarious chapter btw
love the “nipple pirk up” line :p
i am laughing ….. just so good. Fruit .. too much fun ! Excellent
Bloody fucking fantastic chapters!!! Your stories have made my day by so quickly. Thanks, anxioulsy awaitng your next chapter!!!
i love bette grocery shopping shes so effing cute!! very good chapter please post soon!!
If Tina only believed in herself. She does have Bette wrapped around her little pinkie. She doesn’t need to worry about keeping Bette’s attention. Then again, it will be interesting to see what she comes up with.
I wrote: thank you and please continue. You are one of my favorite authors. I think you were right about that one word….it was kind of a long one with a lot of consonants…..I should start with something easier. Tänään on keskiviikko!
I’m so glad I had just finished swallowing when I read the “nipple in the frozen food section” line. It hurts so much to snort liquid out of my nose!
“See you then,” Bette finished the call just as Tina rose from the bed.
“Where are you going?” Bette asked, with a forlorn look on her face.
“We’re going for groceries so we have something to eat in the morning,” Tina replied. “Now get that sexy ass out of bed and get ready.”

you see all these comments?? you do a great job with this story. keep posting and we all gonna be happy. it’s cute that Bette is wrapped around T’s pinky.
omg, Swim, where to begin? I checked the net just before I left for work this afternoon. I was ecstatic that you’d posted. But I was devastated that I didn’t have time to read it. I thought to myself, “At least you have something really great to look forward to when you get home tonight.” Geez, was that the understated thought of the century. All I could think while I was at work was “Let’s get this night over with. I gotta go home and read Swim’s story.” Oh, Swim, I was not disappointed. I have felt like an idiot sitting here alone LMAO. Yes, out loud. You are sooooooooo FUNNY!!!!
My stomach muscles are probably going to be sore tomorrow. I’ve already read this chapter twice, and I’m gonna have to read it a couple of more times before I go to bed.
On a more serious note, why do you keep asking for criticism? Is it possible that you don’t understand how really great a writer you are? Criticize you? I shudder at the thought. What lends more appreciation to reading your story is the fact that I don’t have to shudder and cringe at typos, misspellings, grammatical errors, etc. Really, sincerely, Swim, you are DA BOMB!
I don’t think that Tina has to worry about Bette being distracted, I think Bette should be more worried about Tina being the new meat in the joint. Anyway, very funny about the shopping cart…I like when they doing regular things like food shopping!
tinge of jealousy in Tina would be addin on the fun of reading! hee~ juz a thought. Your way of puttin them together is juz felt so right..love.it! do post soon!!!!!
Good chapter. Bette is so funny and too much fun. Let see what’s next!
