Blueprints—Chapter 2
For the next few minutes there was nothing but the sound of the wind whipping though the trees and the waves crashing against the cliff behind them as Tina began to gather herself and pulled slowly away from Bette’s embrace. She grabbed a clean napkin and began wiping her eyes
“I’m sorry” she says apologetically to Bette trying to contain her sniffling
“Tina you have nothing to be sorry for. No need to apologize to me. My heart just aches for you. I know there is nothing I can say to ease your pain. I know how difficult that must have been for you to talk about”
Tina nods her head “I can’t believe I just told you all of that. I’ve never talked about Jacob before. It’s just way too painful”
Bette nods in understanding and remains silent
“That call and text I received the other day was from Chris. I was so angry I had to leave. I’m sorry ..I hadn’t heard from Chris since the funeral. My mother gave him my number. It would have been his 18th birthday that day”
“Oh Tina..I’m so sorry…I admit I was concerned about you when you left”
Tina sniffled and wiped her eyes again and looked at Bette through her tear stained eyes
“You were?” she says surprised
“Well yeah. You seemed upset, planted a kiss on my cheek and practically ran out of there”
Tina gasped in horror “Oh my god Bette…I’m so sorry..I wasn’t even thinking when I did that. I don’t even know what I was thinking period”
Bette waved her off “Don’t worry about it. I took it as a friendly goodbye. Although I don’t think your spouse will like the fact you did that right under her nose” Bette said teasingly
Tina threw her head back and laughed feeling the tension leave her body “Fair point..I must be more careful next time”
Bette raises her eyebrow “Oh..Next time?”
Tina chuckled “If you’re lucky”
Bette winks at her playfully and grabs her sketchbook “Well I don’t mind waiting. The other cheek was left out you know. So maybe if I’m lucky as you say you’ll grant that cheek the privilege of feeling your lips as well” she says handing Tina her sketchbook

I’m really liking this…. So Tina and Bette are married to their work…. funny banter. Really funny when Bette says that the kiss on the cheek might make Tina spouse jealous especially in her presence.
They are beginning to be attracted to one another… both professionals. I just hope that they do have time to have a real relationship which is binding and long term. With Tina’s promotion to Chief of Staff and a new research center, there are going to be high demands on her time. And Bette just beginning a new architectural firm is going to be time consuming as well. And they are both so young, with many prime working years ahead. This works for some, but it is difficult. I hope they do well…
Thanks for this chapter… love the update… love to see more….

Thanks so much Martha3128!
It does seem a stretch for Bette and Tina to build a relationship when they are in a sense married to their work. Really it’s because they have nothing on the outside worth trying to balance their lives until now. Without giving too much away I think you will enjoy how they go about trying to build their relationship and incorporate it into their busy lives.
Thanks again!

Liking this story. Alice is so funny. Calling them TiBette and shipping them is just hilarious. “Alice shakes her head “Never!..I’m totally shipping you two..Long live TiBette!” Just great! And Dana is in the story. I hope Peggy is going to make it. Somehow I think Helena may make an appearance. Is she does – stay away from Tina! Maybe Bette will go visit Peggy. Tina and Bette are really cute together. Very sweet. I like your version of them very much. They both seem well suited for their professions. Maybe they can fit a little love and romance in around their busy lives? Alice already sees it. Looking forward to more.

Billy! Thanks for the comment!
I can assure you that Helena- if she does appear in this story- will have nothing to do with Tina other than to deal with her as her mother’s doctor. I hope that eases your anxiety..lol

This is a fantastic story!!! I read a it when you posted it before. I loved it then too.
I am not a Alice fan but in this story she is hilarious.
The teasing and fun Bette and Tina had was a pleasure to read. Tina already trust Bette enough to tell her about Jacob, a good sign. And they share their Birthday, who would have thought about that, they have a lot in commen and i am with Alice, i root for Tibette! Now they have to talk with their spouses so that they can take steps to built a relationship ;)

Loved the chapter, I’m glad to know that this fic is already finished. I will be waiting with baited breath for each new chapter. I am excited about reading this in it’s entirety including the sequel and anything else you want to write for us. Please post soon.

This is a fun story to read. Shows us again that what ever the circumstances, professions or life style these two will find each other. Here’s to Bette designing the medical center of Tina’s dreams and here’s to Tina for opening her heart to a new relationship with Bette. So nice to watch from the sidelines. Popcorn popped and feet up on the coffee table reading. Fantastic. Thanks!

Great chapter… As I are you a mechanic in your other life. Lol.. Both my father and older brother are. And myrtle is on death role.. lol..
The little chit chat on the picnic was cute. And glad Tina felt at ease enough to tell Bette about her son.
Cute they share same bday. My wife and I are a week apart. But not same age. 16 years younger than me.
Thank you I shall go on will get caught up sooner or later.
