Can’t Help Falling In Love Chapter 40
Alex: Well, this isnt Starbucks.
Tina: No I got it at Duke.
Alex: Oh Tina. How many times have we gone over this? Maybe lesbians drink coffee wherever they can get it, but us sophisticated ***** men, we drink gourmet! I dont want Juan Valdez. I want coffee beans from the far ends of the earth that have been picked fresh and ground immediately, do you understand?
Tina rolled her eyes and went back to her desk. She opened the bottom drawer and grabbed a paper cup. Next she reached for a green marker on the dry erase board outside of Alexs office. She went back in, took his coffee and poured it into the new cup she just made. Tina placed the lid tightly on top and handed it back to her friend.
Tina: Better?
Alex looked down at the Starbucks emblem that Tina had drawn on the cup. After smirking he took a quick sip.
Alex: Yup. Better. Thanks!
Tina: No problem.
Alex: So tell me my little green eyed *****, what happened with Bette?
Tina: We talked and everything is fine.
Alex: Talked?
Tina: Yes, talked, ever heard of it?
Alex: So, youre telling me there was no knockin the boots?
Tina: What?
Alex: OK let me put this in terms youll understand. Munching the carpet, eating a BOXED lunch, rubbing bumps, tonguing the cat…
Tina: Oh Alex, eww! Come on.
Alex: What?
Tina: Yes there was a little love making.
Alex: Love making?
Alex rolled his eyes.
Alex: Damn Lesbians!
Tina: Moving on…
Alex: Let me ask you a question.
Tina: Im listening.
Alex took a deep breath. He knew this would be tough.
Alex: How secure are you in this relationship with Bette?
Tina: Very.
Alex gave Tina a discerning look.
Tina: I am. Im secure.
Alex still said nothing.
Tina: Fine, Im on my way to being secure!
Alex: See we made an emotional breakthrough. Good for us.
Tina: Ok enough with the therapy session.
Alex: Ok, Im just going to lay this on the line and I need you to act like a mature adult.
Tina: This coming from you?
Alex: Just humor me.
Tina: Im trying, really I am.
Alex: I have to go away for 2 weeks.
Tina: Oh. Where? Why?
Alex: Chicago. They are starting another office down there and they need my help to do hiring and set up.
Tina: Ok, well I can handle things here.
Alex: I have all the faith in you. Heres the problem.
Tina sat up in her chair.
Alex: They really like you here. Everyone thinks you are an asset to this company.
Tina: Am I being fired?
Alex: What? No. God No!
Tina: Ok, what then? Stop dragging this out. Youre driving me crazy!
Alex: I need you to come with me.
Tina: Thats great! Why all the drama?
Alex: It means 2 weeks away from Bette.
The realization hit Tina like a ton of bricks.
Tina: Oh. *****.
Alex: Are you going to be ok with that?
Tina: I guess I have to be.
Alex: It will be a great experience, plus youll have me.
Tina: Im not worried about that. I just have to figure out how to tell Bette.
Alex: Yeah, she isnt gonna like this.
Tina sat in silence.
TBC…

Oh yes, it’s time for Bette to play, haha. Can’t wait to meet Katie :-D Is it wrong that I’m looking forward to Bette cheating?…hehe…NO! I confess that I’m biased…and whatever Bette does will be just fine with me :-O
I’m getting excited Flair…so bring it on.

OMG. this is just gonna be painful for a while, huh. flair were you dropped on your head as a child. lol. so much drama. you know you could make it not as painful, people can be adults sometimes. please be gentle.

Good tks, Now, maybe Ms Porter can surprise visit?? I’m thinking that Tina will have a harder time with this…seems her insecurities are closer to the top of the heap right now!!! Now ease us gentle pls!!!! But don’t wait too long..let’s get at it!!
I just got hooked onto this story a few days ago and it’s definitely one of the better literary and visual works on this site, I love it; every post keeps you wanting more. The character development is quite good and the situational comedy along with drama make it really appealing… not to mention the fact that the writing puts you in the room with the characters and almost makes you live a part of their lives when you’re reading it; I guess all new yorkers can relate in some way, knowing the city provides an appreciation for the realism surrounding the characters, I’ll definitely keep reading :)
yes i’m sure tina will be nothing but sunshine and lollipops with just alex around. the girl is hooked on the drug that is bette porter! see now what other story could make me yell OH NO DRAMA AT THE WINDOW! in front of my 13 people. if u know one my friends want u to tell me so that they can laugh until their spleens hurt. i love ya flair!
Good chapter. Damn 2 weeks away from Bette, don’t know either 1 of them can’t handle it. Oh well Katie is just a neighbor and nothing to worry about and can’t wait to see what’s next. Post soon, thanks!
Dun dun dun, is right, isn’t Katie the neighbor across from Bette’s apt? Anywho, bring on the drama so I can laugh at Alex and cry with BandT, cause I know I am…
I know! Have Alice come back to town and keep Bette company!
Poor baby, she just came out and her girlfriend is gonna abandon her for Chi-Town? I’ll hold her hand, Tina!
This story is like crack. I’ve never had crack, but if I did, I bet it would be just like this story: sweet and quirky, irresistable, torturing me until I can have the next hit!
I love it!
What a wonderful tale you weave. I am all pack and ready for the bumpy ride as it appears that Tina has a lot more issues and insecurities than she is willing to admit. Bette is a deva after all she will not like the absence and as she gets demanding this will definately get more interesting. Thanks for this ride I have seatbelts on and all ready. Yeah
Ah, great ! So typical you, dear drama master : a bit of insecurity for our fragile “convalescent” Tina (… even if I’m ready to think that Katie could be Kit indeed… I wonder ??), then an incredibly cute and funny moment to let the reader forget about possible drama… and then comes a new big dark cloud on the horizon !
Ah, insecurity, insecurity… For Bette, wondering what could happened to Tina far of her for two long weeks… And for Tina, wondering who can be this so obviously familiar Katie… Ah god, dangers of insecurity !
My so talented storyteller, you’re pretty mischievous with your poor readers ! (lol)
… and I’m more addicted than ever… it’s almost frightening ! And higly delicious too, of course…
Thank you SO much for the daily gift !!
Hey I’m still Love the Story it’s Awesome and wonderful Please post soon.
Who is katie!!!!!!!! tina is going to be a nervous wreck
challenging… Time to ask about Katie? Now would be good. thanks for the update.
