And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 30
"Sowe’re good, then?" Alice asked, finally bringing her head up to make eye contact with her friend.
"We’re good," Bette replied and leaned back in her chair again.
Alice was immediately in overdrive about the next topic of conversation.
"How are you going to ask her to move in with you?" she began. "It doesn’t look like you’ve done anything around the houseare you taking her somewhere? It is tonight isn’t it?"
"I hadn’t really given it any thought yet," Bette admitted, while she grinned at Alice’s enthusiasm. "I was just going to ask her when it felt right."
"Bette Porter has not mapped out how to ask the question?" Alice was incredulous. "What happened to your motto – ‘if you fail to plan you plan to fail’."
"Well, I was going to jot down some ideas after I finished with the paper," Bette explained. "Pass me that note pad." She waved across the table to one of the stacks of paper, on top of which was a spiral bound pad.
Alice reached into her purse, pulled out a pen with one hand and grabbed the note pad with the other, flipping the firm cardboard front cover back with a quick flick of her wrist.
"Let’s think of the possible approaches," she began. She was about to turn to a blank page when a couple of the words on the sheet before her caught her attention. She couldn’t keep from letting her gaze run across the various phrases that virtually jumped from the page. She glanced up at Bette, who was obviously moments from remembering just what kind of notes she had been jotting down for reference. Alice swung her legs to the side of the chair opposite from where Bette was sitting and stood such that the dining room table was between them.
Just as Alice started to stand, a horrified look crossed Bette’s face as she reached for the pad of paper. Alice pulled it back quickly and smiled a wicked grin that communicated what was about to take place.
"Bette, what is this?"
"Alice, give it back,"
"Bette, this is hot stuffare you getting into the greeting card business?" Alice was just getting warmed up. It was exceedingly rare for Bette to put herself in a compromising position, and she was going to take full advantage.

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.
