Blueprints—Chapter 5
“Well you have all my contact information” Bette says taking one last look before Frances starts walking them toward the front door
“I’ll be in touch” she says as Bette and Alice walk toward Bette’s car and get in
“Well that’s that” Bette says starting the drive and pulling out of the driveway “You want to go get a bite to eat?”
“Sure. I am starved after helping you house hunt” Alice replied not feeling the glare Bette quickly gave her before turning her attention back to the road
“Help?” Bette asks wondering what definition of help Alice had given her
“Well yeah. I helped you from making big mistakes on the other houses” Alice said confidently
Bette rolled her eyes “Well regardless I hope the owner won’t mar this down in counter offers. The sooner he accepts the sooner I can enjoy that incredible view”
“That’s not the only view you will enjoy” Alice mumbled sheepishly
“What was that Al?” Bette scowled
Alice cleared her throat “I said that’s a great view to enjoy”
“Uh huh” Bette answered skeptically knowing that’s not exactly what Alice said but she was too tired to argue with her
They rode the rest of the way in silence much to Bette’s grateful sanity
____________________________
Later that night, Tina was busy looking at Bette’s sketches trying to decide which one she was officially going to go with for her cancer research facility. On top of trying to figure out who her generous benefactor was and her many duties at the hospital she had forgotten she needed to let Bette know which design she wanted by Friday
“Shit. This is so hard” she mumbles leaning back in the chair in her office
She runs her fingers through her hair in frustration and sighs as she reaches for her cellphone scrolling to its newest entry. She pressed the name and hears the trilling sound waiting patiently for the person to answer
“Hello?”
“Hey Bette. This is Tina. I hope I’m not bothering you”
“Hey Tina. No you aren’t bothering me at all. Actually.. I’m glad you called”
Tina’s lips curled into a smile and quickly shook it off
“Well I’m glad too because I’m having a hard time deciding on which design of yours to go with. If you aren’t busy do you think you could swing by the hospital and help me decide”

God I hope that Bette gets that house. It would be awesome. Tina can’t stay in the hospital 24/7. and needs to go home sometime. Perhaps Peggy can talk some sense into her.. Also I hope Helena doesn’t throw any drama in and try to go after Tina. That would be a disaster. Do I hear Bette knocking on Tina’s door trying to borrow the infamous cup of sugar but also a liter of honey as well?
jlr921 says
Hi Jane!
Thanks for the comment. I can assure you Helena if and when she makes an appearance will not be pursuing Tina. The only contact she will have with Tina is concerning Peggy and nothing more. Hope that eases your mind!
Thanks!
Alicia says
So glad to see an update, i love this story so much! Hope Tina can work up the courage to give it a go. Maybe Alice should tell her all about the Yale girls, maybe she’d change her mind lol ;)
jlr921 says
Thanks so much Alicia!
Tina has some work to do on the courage part but she’ll get there! ; )
DumplinT says
JLR,
There are times when I feel greedy and this story brings it out of me. I’ve always “inhaled” my meals and so it is with this scrumptious dish. Best to get that said at the jump!!
Bette soooo wants to get to know Tina and it’s soooo ALPHA for her to challenge The Alpha Doc to step away from her fears of entering a relationship and embark on a hot adventure with her (Bette).
To consider the “pros” of such a choice soberly weighing the “cons” . . . just like she would in creating & testing a world-changing scientific discovery/treatment. Then uncharacteristicly giving her heart the ultimate latitude.
Anyway, I see Tina falling hard for The Architect especially if Bette gets’ the house next door.
I see Tina noticing the new neighbor with a big floppy hat and shades sunning herself on the private beach below from afar only to let curiosity get the best forcing herself to innocently meander down there to make sure that a “trespasser” hadn’t wandered onto private property, right!!!
Boy that would be a scream when she discovers the mystery lady to be none other that Bette!!!
And I know Dana and especially Alice are enjoying their little match making game, but like I said, I’m selfish and don’t want them over-stepping their boundaries tryna get every inside scoop on the blooming Tibette relationship.
I don’t think right now I can bare another story with Alice blabbing about Bette “fucking” every female that passes in front of her. Can you?
Jlr921, can we talk?
Peggy MUST survive the treatments and take her rightful place as God-Mother and perhaps God-Mother-in-law to our girls. Leave it to Peggy to figure out that Bette was the anonymous donor to the research facility. Hope for a while Tina doesn’t figure it out so that it can be Bette & Peggy’s secret for a while.
As Tina gets to know Bette’s heart and method of op, she’ll figure it out.
jlr921 says
DumplinT!
Your greediness is appreciated and I can assure you Alice won’t be blabbing anymore. (She exaggerates anyway) ..Typical Alice though..lol…Anyway don’t worry about Dana and Alice overstepping..They aren’t..They will however keep Tibette moving along indirectly. They have their own relationship blossoming
Thanks for reading and commenting! Enjoy reading your comments

I don’t mind the readers being greedy! And I can promise you a longer helping of the next installment!

This was an emotional day for Bette – choosing a home, finding Peggy has cancer and is possibly dying and Tina making a romantic move and then backing off for her own personal reasons…. A lot for one day… I know Tina heard Bette – its not the job that holds her, its herself will that holds her. She spends time at the hospital to escape her personal life. Evidently, her prior relationship was not the right one. Did her former partner just make more than reasonable demands and then Tina blame her job for not being abled to fulfill expectations? As Bette said – she has no expectations….none… just go with the flow until they decide jointly to do otherwise. Is that really that hard?
Its going to be interesting for Bette and Tina to live next door to each other….awkward if they don’t work out…
So far, Tina has made the first moves – kiss on the cheek and a passionate kiss. Her body is simply way ahead of her mind. The heart knows what it wants and the soul knows what it is attracted to. Bette is showing a lot of fortitude by allowing Tina to call the plays and going along with whatever Tina decides. Bette’s desire is just as much as Tina’s just a little more under control. But Tina is in her life now – she is her landlord of her new office, she is the main contact for the new cancer center and the chief of staff at the hospital which is about to be remodeled. And now she is the doctor for her good friend and mentor Peggy Peabody. And possibly she will be her next door neighbor. How could they avoid each other? Not likely.
Great story…. need for Tina to come to her senses and take the chance with Bette. Write when you can….
Billy says
Great post.
jlr921 says
Thanks Martha3128!
Excellent post!..I do enjoy your perception and insight!
Thanks so much!
Billy says
Can’t really add much more. Lots of excellent comments. I really like this story a lot. It’s a natural. Peggy is one of my favorite people so kudos for including her. Agree with the others that Alice’s harping on Bette’s past is soooooo old and only paints a false impression of Bette. Especially this Bette. These are two excellent characters you have created. All I ask for Christmas is that Peggy find a way to be well. I’m glad she is going to reach out to Helena. And a stocking stuffer? Well we know Tina is going to be thinking about that kiss. Please, sir, may I have another?
jlr921 says
Billy! My friend!…As I told DumplinT you can rest at ease with Alice now. She won’t be spreading her exaggerations about Bette’s past anymore. I’ve put a muzzle on her!
Thanks for supporting me and this story!
kiwipit says
Nice one, jlr! The kiss was overdue. But I’m sure Tina can add some more hotness once Bette’s parting words had their time to settle in Tina’s mind. Yes, it all comes down to priorities, Tina. Maybe Dana can talk to Tina and ask what Tina is afraid of if she would readjust her priorities to give more time to Bette, time to a relationship with Bette.
I’m sure though that she can’t resist Bette once they work closely on building the new center. Tina will want to be updated regularly on the process.
Can’t wait to see Tina’s reaction when she’ll welcome Bette to the neighbourhood!
As greedyness seems the theme of the day I chime in and ask for another chapter this week. Please? It’s Christmas after all :-)
jlr921 says
kiwipit!
Thanks so much for the comment! And as for the greediness I don’t mind it all. I love that people are liking this story. And I could put something extra in the stocking for you like I told SassyGran!
; )
BK says
JLR – keep writing, this is a great story! SO refreshing to see a new environment for both of them. Tina will come around, it is impossible for her to ignore Bette! Looking forward to the next chapter
BK
Also, big floppy hat and Bette in a bikini on the beach. YASSSS Qween.
jlr921 says

BnTinmyhead says
Ohhhh steamy and in her office! Yes I’m sure they wifie felt that and so did Tina. I think she knows she’s in trouble and the tingles for one Bette Porters lips won’t go away that easy.
Wait till Tina sees who’s moving in next door.
So much going on here. Glad Peggy is going to call Helena.
Thank you.
