And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 30
"Hi," Alice said as she shuffled her feet back and forth on the porch.
"Come on in Alice," Bette opened the door to invite her inside. "What’s up?"
"I just wanted to talk to you," Alice began. "Can we sit?"
They made their way to the dining room table where various piles of paper were competing for Bette’s attention.
"I won’t keep you long," Alice said. "It looks like you have a lot on the go today."
"I’m done with work for the day Alice," Bette said. "I have to head to the airport in an hour to pick up Tina."
"I didn’t realize she was back so early this afternoon," Alice paused before she continued. "Actually, that kinda brings up why I came over here."
"You don’t need an excuse to come over Alice, you know that. Although when Tina and I are living together, a heads up phone call might be good"
"Yeah, wellI wanted to apologize for the way I reacted when you said you were going to ask her to move in with you," Alice rushed out her words and then allowed Bette to respond.
"It’s not like I’ve ever asked someone to live with me before," Bette was pleased that Alice seemed to be warming to the idea. "This just feels right."
"I guess that’s exactly the issue Bette," Alice continued. "When I thought about it later, I realizedyou really must love her." She looked down at her hands before she pressed on with the explanation she felt was necessary. "I think part of me is jealous of Tina." She then hurried to explain, knowing that might have sounded wrong. "Not that you’re dating her, or that you love her or anything, it’s that the time we used to spend togetheris no longer happening."
"You know you’ll always be one of my closest and dearest friends Al?" Bette reached and placed one hand over hers on the table surface.
"You don’t think Tina’s gonna want a little distance between you and I given our history?"
"It’ll take some time," Bette acknowledged. "But she’ll get used to it. We have to be a bit patient with her."

I want more…please. Great chapter and post soon
Another great chapter. Hopefully Tina will say yes to Bette’s question!!!
The sharing of breakfast was very sweet. It’s these sort of little traditions that give a relationship have depth.
Nice to see that Alice figured out what made her so angry with Bette asking Tina to move in. Understandable, no one likes to think they’re losing their best friend. Plus, it’s always lonlier when you aren’t the one in the relationship.
“Go with your heart Bette”. Best advice she could have received.
Loved this little departure. Nice set up to the reconnection.
I feel bad for Alice.I hope Tina says yes too.Nice update.
Ha this is getting more fun and hope Tina will say yes to Bette. Post soon please, thanks!
Awww!! My heart filled with warmth on Bette sending Tina breakfast, then there was laughter with the notes, and back to the warmth with the romance. Sigh this is just so amazing! Thank you for sending me off to bed on what usually is a dreadful Sunday night on a happy note :) Now I’m looking foward to your rendition of a good Sunday night

Great chapter, Let Tina say yes.Love them together
Thanks for the installment. I think Bette should have the house totally set up for Tina’s arrival. I am interested to see how romantic our Bette can be.
yup, romantic and funny. thanks and don’t work to much! :)
I am really enjoying your story. Thank you for the “sappy” stuff, that’s what life is made of or at least makes it happier. Even knowing they end of up together, I am still hooked on every chapter, so keep ’em coming.
Peace right back atcha.
Fins, what a fun chapter! I saw that coming with the notes and was laughing before Bette even knew what was going on. I hope you have a good week and you let us in on how Bette does it soon! You Rock!!!!!
Amazing Please continue post soon Thanks.
I could just see the mortified look on Bette’s face. I bet she WONT be writing down anything “talkative” for a while…LOL…..thank God for paper shredders.
How sweet it is for Bette to share breakfast with Tina?!
How funny it is to have Alice discover Bette’s “notes”?!
How good was the advice Alice gave to Bette to go with her heart?!
Can’t wait for the next chapter!!!
I LOVED this chapter. Special moments and rituals in couples are so important… and Sunday breakfast is such a good one. :) I love it when the woman I love is always in my head…
Bette being so to remember exactly on the note pad & trying to get it back was so vivid and FUNNY… just plain funny. Thanks for this. : )
Loved this….so much! I have this sense you test yourself with some of these scenes to see if you can pull them off – well, you can!! Keep it coming and we’ll all just keep reading!
hey JKS great chapter cant wait ofr TIna to get back to LA. want some B&T lovin lol
Wonderful as always. LOVE this story.
o yeah, i’d got with alice’s advice… shred those notes bette. kay.. my pillows are waiting for me.
Beautifully romantic, .. thank you so much.
I just started reading this at the weekend and I had to literally tear myself away from my computer but as soon as I woke up I’d be back to read the rest of it.
This story is amazing, it has made me fall in love with FanFic all over again. I love the way you write, I can’t remember the last time I actually had to look words up because I wanted to clarify the meaning so I didn’t lose anything.
I was smiling and laughing out loud as I read each chapter. When I saw that you’d written the next chapter I almost jumped out of my seat with excitement.
It’s gonna be hard for me to think that this isn’t what happened between Bette and Tina in the beginning.
Thank you soooooooooo much for this. Okay, I’m off to read the next chapter now.
At first I thought the page held those romantic doodles where you combine your name with your lover’s. Wrong!
Bette Porter in love is a wonderous thing to behold! Love looks good on her. I can hardly believe she is using the ‘L’ word so freely!
Your B&T are so clear! Sunday night should prove to be smooth sailing!
Thanks!
this chapter is definitely needed before the evenin comes. always love reading your stories.. :) post soon!! i can’t wait…!
It’s been my experience to go w/ your gut, it never leads you down the wrong path. If she rationalizes it too much, she’ll end up sounding too logical. If she listens simply to her heart, she’ll be completely romantic and not add the touch of logic she needs to have Tina agree. Her gut will always guide her best.
Next chapter!! I can’t wait to see how romantic Bette is.
