"Good timing guys," Tina said. "I’m starving and ready for a break." She dropped the book she held in her hand back into the box it originated from and stepped toward Alice to take the beer and put it in the fridge.
"You can take the pizza into the kitchen and set it on the counter Shane," Bette said. "We might as well eat it while it’s hot."
Everyone grabbed their own plate, selected the pizza of choice and they all met back at the dining room table.
"You’ve already made some good progress," noted Dana. "Even the kitchen looks manageable."
"I think the challenge will be finding cupboard space," Tina said as she reached over to place her hand over Bette’s. "I don’t want to displace too much of what’s in there."
"I don’t know why you’re concerned, it’s not like I ever use things in the kitchen," Bette said as she washed down some pizza with a sip of beer from a tall tumbler.
"Who needs to cook when you have take out menus," asked Shane as she started in on her second slice.
Their banter continued as they examined the relative merits of each culinary option before they decided to get down to the business of unpacking.
Tina, Shane and Dana were attending to the kitchen while Bette and Alice finished up in the living room. Alice pulled the packing tape from the last box and untucked the flaps to examine what was inside. She had been speechless more times in the past two weeks than she cared to admit, but when she faced Bette with what was in her hand, neither one had words to say. Alice held a black leather braided whip in her hand as she looked at Bette with a raised eyebrow just as Tina entered the room.
"Oh Jesus, I forgot that was in there," Tina said, clearly flustered.
"No explanation required, Tina," Alice said teasingly. She was getting all kinds of material for future blackmail from these two. "What you two do in the privacy of your own home is entirely your business."
"It was part of a hallowe’en costume!" Tina rushed to explain as the blush that rose in her face threatened to create a spontaneous combustion.
"Hallowe’en, absolutely, that was the only logical explanation," Alice said patronizingly.
Bette was trying not to laugh, but gave Alice a look that suggested she ease up on Tina.
"Here you go Indiana," Alice passed the whip over to Tina.
Tina contemplated trying to explain further, but realized the futility of such an effort. She made her way to the bedroom to put the whip in the closet.
"Good idea," called Alice after her. "Store that hallowe’en costume in the bedroom, Tina."
Tina quickly veered toward the spare room, thinking better of her original plan.
"You’ve got a feisty one there, Bette," Alice said with a smile.
"That I do," Bette agreed as she watched Tina walk away.
_________
Bette and Tina sat at the dining room table, having said goodbye to their friends for the evening. They had managed to unpack all of Tina’s belongings and had given them at least temporary refuge in various areas of the house.
Bette pulled the cork from a bottle of Australian Shiraz and poured a glass for each of them.
"I think I’m just about settled," Tina said as she reached for her glass.
"You’re home, Tee."
"I’m home." Tina replied.
The crystal rims of their wine glasses met across the table as they toasted to their future together.
(The end…subsequent installments of this story will be under the title "Snippets of Bliss")

Attention all readers: I recommend ‘Snippets of Bliss’ for those of you following ‘Fallacy’ by Rachel_Raj.
Protect yourself.
Thanks, JKS!
That was such a nice story, and like the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end”.
The way that you were able to address Bette’s concern about ignoring Alice, Tina’s embarrassment about the whip and the integration of lives merging in this chapter was perfect.
Delightful from beginning to end and I look forward to your subsequent stories!
Thank you so much for your story! You know what it has meant to me and I am forever greatful. I can’t wait for the happy B&T chapters to come. I’m reading lastkid’s story and it is so depressing. I need something to cheer me up. Kiitos!
Damn what a good ending and so happy for them. And can’t wait to see the new one coming soon, love this story and let see what their life start now. Post soon please, thanks!
Perfect, I just loved this.
JKS,
I loved this story from the first moment I read it.
Now seems an appropriate place to conclude this first part.
Am happy to hear that this is not the end merely the end of the beginning.
I will be here waiting and watching impatiently for your sequel.
Much gratitude and appreciation for all the hard work and effort in providing your adoring audience with little bright spots in their days.
Each new chapter has been savored like a new toy on Christmas morning.
Thank you for sharing your talents and gifts.
Your Loyal Fan.
You have me smiling this chilly British morning, so I thank you for that. I would also like to thank you for “It Started With A Phone Call”, I remember commenting on one of chapter awhile back, early in the series, and have been delighted henceforth.
Welcome to the decadent world of short stories.
the bliss just began. thumbs up.
I’ve enjoyed phonecall and am now looking forward to snippets. It will be good to see them going against trouble together and united instead of against each other.
Terrific writing.
I think snippets is a good idea – you’ve got 7 years worth of material for us to enjoy right?
& please tell me we are going to get more of Tina & her whip? Halloween! ROFL
