“Really?” The interest seemed genuine although her attention remained with her work.
One huge space with a second-level loft that covers about a third of the area. I can use the loft area for an office, and be able to keep an eye on most of the floor.
“Layout sounds good. Light?”
Two sides have the street and a parking lot. It’s rather close to a building on the other side, but not directly against, so it still gets some light. No windows along the back wall.
“Skylights?”
“It’s not the top level.”
“Oh.”
“I’ve had bad experiences with skylights in some of these older buildings. Sometimes the maintenance costs and the leaks far outweigh the benefits.”
“Hmm.”
“I thought, maybe, tomorrow, you could come see it with me?”
“Tomorrow?”
“If you’re not working, of course.” The way her work schedule varies, it is truly difficult to know when she might have some time.
As soon as I sat down beside her, she was up like a bolt. Script down. Something fascinating, or maybe just something shiny, over in the kitchen. “I’m not sure.”
So, is it the space? Is it me? Is it the leaving?
“It’s not too far from the studio.”
“I might be working at home tomorrow.”
Very non-committal, I notice. To the work. To the visit. To me.
Perhaps if it’s not just the two of us. “Maybe I’ll invite
“I’m sure she’d find that a nice surprise.”
With the tone, I’m left to wonder what exactly she means by that. Why should she care if I surprise
Regardless, I try to not react to whatever issues she’s having. But it is easier to speak with her when I’m not in another room. “Maybe I’ll give Al a call. I haven’t talked to her in a while.”
Tina kept fidgeting through a stack of papers. “Like in a couple of days.”
Couple of days? “I don’t know. I think it’s been longer than that.”
She dropped the papers. I swear, the color drained from her face. For a second she turned to look at me, and then she was off to the bedroom. The door slammed shut. I heard a click as it locked.
*****!

OMFG!!!P this is just to fucking awesome!!I mean I’m looking outside wonder if were heading into a ice age???lmaoWow you have no idea how good it is just to have your story to read. thank you and well I’m really looking forward to this little drama you have in store for us.
Did I miss something? Where did that come from?
damn Tina and her issues…lol…great post…please post soon!
somebody is lying…but really why would bette wreck the surprise, of course she would say more than a couple of days…boy tina is wayyyy too stressed about her leaving and is jumping on anything that moves…
oh dear mother of GOD!!!!!!!
my day is officially ruined…i hope bette will get the guts to talk to tia before she leaves…and why did alice lied? man, this is intense and you are the master…should i get supply of xanaz for the next couple of chapters? i hope you’ll fix it, please
Dear god please make this be a big misunderstanding, Idon’t know if I like the title begining of the end, I am soooo worried now, don’t know if I will be able to sleep
No fair to just end it like that! The next part is gonna be something else though. These two need to lock themselves in a room and get their issues sorted, although if they lock themselves into a room they probably won’t get much talking done so maybe Jess should be present too. Tina is letting all those old fears back in, they need to talk this crap out, although since we know what happens in Chpt. 85 I guess that doesn’t go too well. Let’s just hope this is as bad as it gets. NEXT CHAPTER PLEASE!!!
Another post!! We’re sooooo lucky these days!!!I some kind of like to Tina’s insecurity. It’s like a kind of expression of her love to Bette. =P
Whats up with Tina? I would like to say I did not see that coming but since you gave us a glimps into the futur I was ready for it… I can’t wait to read more and find out what the hell is going on in Tina’s head…Thanks a bunch for the post and on with the Drama.
Well, I am glad that they have a lock on the bedroom door! Lord knows they needed that! Tina needs to open up and get this bit off her chest, she, like us, has absolutely no idea what the deal is. Please post soon…you are driving me mad!
oh my god! You’re torturing us. Obviously Tina can’t let any of her insecurities go….
You have GOT TO come back with the rest of this!!!! So, Bette considers Tina ‘her wife’? What does Tina think? Good chapter!
What in the world is wrong with Tina? Is it because there is a surprise coming and she just nearly gave away her knowledge of it? WHAT? Post soon please.
god – tina needs yoga tina from sunsal. dont ya think? jeez. shes really got to learn to trust. and COMMUNICATE. your killing me p.
And the chill continues…brrrrrrrrr.Well, there was at least an attempt made to communicate, even if it was stilted. Hard to talk to someone when they are not willing to pay attention.Tina’s passive-aggressive behavior was very evident this go around. If she would just step back and take a moment and not give in to her usual histrionics they might get to the core issue.Bette, you have a tough row to hoe here. I hope you’re not doing something you shouldn’t be.Another great one, pseud.
Hmmm, did Alice spill? I really can’t tell… Suspense and drama!!! You’re getting me really nervous about chp 85. Tina needs to calm down and talk to Bette. Communication, remember? Boy, am I frustrated!
Oops, I meant I’m nervous about finding out what brought on Tina’s reaction in Chp 85. And I’m also waiting to see what happened to Chp 80.
That was a cold Tina. Just ask, stop beating around the bush, ask
Somebody needs to throw a bucket of ice on Tina.
As a very wise dog once said…”Ruh-roh”.
:( I know Tina’s all anxious about her worst fears coming true…waiting for the other shoe to drop… but COME ON! Friggin’ talk to eachother!!!! And why am I yelling at fictional characters?! Dang it, Pseud! ;)
You are being such a tease!! Keep the posts coming!!
Whoa! it’s getting intense and I’m getting nervous too Tina really have to wake up too her sense Thanks pseud I’m stiil catch up Please continue post soon!!
dum dum duuuummmm…. ok ppl. stock up on prozac and/or bonbons NOW. i have a feeling we’re gonna need it…
oh TIna must have thought that Bette was lying…! am i right?…Tina shld like get a grip
whats up with tina–know there will be bumps in the road and she does have a job to keep up with som what does tina want–can’t wait foe next posting
who are you – I mean do you write for TLW cause you are killing me here?? Bette’s in the dark and Tina’s melting down – this better not end bad cause I’m counting on you – your story has been so amazing please don’t kill the love.
Hey, I sent you bon-bons! Why the tease? Ooooh, Alice…what have you done. Maybe Alice thought she was helping Bette out, but looks like she dug a bigger hole for Bette. I hope Tina opens up and tell Bette what she overheard so Bette can explain. Do you take bribes? So you can post again, soon? Oh, a thought just came to me, will Jess end up being the one to help Tina see the good side of Bette? *tapping my fingers* *tap* *tap* patiently waiting *tap* *tap* *tap*
Oh fuck drama coming!
