    Chapter 20 – RINGS

    * * * * * *

    Leading up to the end of year activities, Bette had wanted to do a little something extra, a little something private, for this New Year’s Eve. Especially now since she and Tina had made a united commitment to each other. She more than anything wanted to demonstrate her gratitude to the beautiful blonde.

    The Brit had booked them into a lavish suite in a premier hotel on the city’s riverfront with a wonderful view of the water and the Philadelphia skyline at the historic Penn’s Landing.

     

    So the brunette had made all the arrangements a month ago to indulge Tina in all good things and give her a celebration that she hoped the blonde would remember for years to come . . .

    A romantic dinner for just them was delivered via room service along with the best bottle of champagne she could locate in the city. They nibbled on appetizers and their seafood entrees then each other and as they admired the view from their penthouse suite. Muted lights and soft jazz music added to the intimate atmosphere.

    The women were wrapped in fluffy white cotton hotel robes after enjoying a leisurely bath and a round or two of love making. Bette had poured them each a glass of the sparkling wine.

    “You look so pretty.” Bette murmured as she gazed at her blonde from across the room. She had gone to set their glasses on the wet bar in the room and turned around to admire Tina.

    The young woman was standing before the large window overlooking the river. The drapes were open to give the couple a wide view of the waterfront and skyline. Tina looked spectacular against the backdrop. Her skin still a dusty rose hue from the bubble bath they had just emerged from. Her hair in a loose bun with tendrils dangling on one side of her head. Her white robe ending mid-thigh, exposing her smooth, shapely legs. The V of her robe revealing just enough delicate skin that the brunette wanted to lick, taste and savor. A bewitching, dimpled smile on her face that Bette found hot as hell.

    Bette was helpless to take her eyes off of Tina.

    All else seemed to fade from view as she regarded the blonde with lustful eyes of her own.

    1. Wow, that was a surprise…. Bette and Tina are now committed. They are also going through the most demanding parts of their work life and home life with family problems and issues to be dealt with. Put on top of that the fact that they are in other countries and are unable to communicate as they wish, well the stress just keeps mounting.
      I can also see the miscommunications and misunderstanding becoming more meaningful. And there is no plan as to how to handle this and what they want the future to look like. They are just dealing with the day to day issues of their life. And this long distance relationship does not appear to be temporary. And that too will be a sticking point in their relationship. Such is the problems with long-distance romances.

      I am glad to see that Robert Porter is softening a little. He would be in a hell of a pickle if he actually tried to fire Bette. It would mean he had no successor. He would have to assume Bette’s responsibilities and start anew with a new potential successor. And that could only be James…. and it would be a decade before James is ready to assume the responsibilities Bette has now. Robert appears not to be as intelligent as he would like for the world to see. His best option is to accept Bette for who she is and since she has shown a willingness and a talent for the position, is to work with her and not against her. For Bette will be happier and more productive if Tina were by her side. And if this is what Bette wants? Well, Robert could assure his own legacy if he assisted Bette with Tina rather than fight against her. Otherwise, with Bette’s talents, she will be swoped up by a competitor and then Robert would be in deep pooh-pooh.

      Thanks for the chapter…

      • Hi Martha,

        Thanks so much for your thoughts & comment, it was very thoughtful.

        All the issues that face long term relationships will soon be faced by both Tina and Bette. This will lead to their eventual break.

        But still more to tell before that actually happens.

        Agree that Robert is short sighted & ignorant to the power & leadership that Bette will offer & willingly give to the company.

        See ya next chapter.
        Thanks

    2. Collins,

      I got a ping yesterday that you have posted a new chapter.
      But I worked all weekend for a friend who really waanted the holiday weekend off.

      Good news is I’m off today and can relax and read what you have shared with us.

      So excited, let me savor this!!

      Chat soon.

    3. This was such a GREAT chapter – so loving & filled with all their lovin’ too.
      They seemed so much more mature & ready to remain committed to each other.
      But still lots of questions about the future remain.

      Loved these lines –
      Tina’s voice was smooth and honey sweet. If Bette wasn’t already madly in love with her, she would have fallen
      hard at the captivating sound.

      My fav line – “I bless the day you walked into my life and brought the sun with you to light our path.

      Bette’s father is an ass and I am so glad she stood up to him about her commitment to Tina. He’s so short-sighted & selfish.

      So, what does the future hold for them?

      I’m looking forward to finding out.

      • This was a bit of a fun chapter to write, especially the first scene with their commitment & exchange of rings. It filled my heart with joy!!

        I know it’s a lot of mush & fluff, but it’s for fun.

        The future will come for them very soon.

        Thanks for reading.

        Gracias por tu comentario, me alegro mucho de que te guste esta novela.
        Vas a descubrir en unos pocos capítulos la razón por la que Bette y Tina se separaron.
        Se volverán a conectar en Nueva York y la historia continuará en la actualidad.

        Gracias de nuevo. ¡¡Espero saber de ti en el próximo capítulo también!!

    5. Lovely chapter, they’re adorable !

      Long-distance relationships are always complicated, add a busy schedule, a father who will certainly be the last nail in the coffin and you have a more than foreseeable disaster. Such a waste !

      • Hey Izzie,

        Marvelous that you enjoyed the chapter.

        Yes, they are officially committed – but will it last???

        Yes, Robert is a piece of work, but better than Melvin in OG. I know that’s not saying much.

        Take care & see ya next chapter!!

    6. Sweet lord- they’re this super sweet couple that I just can’t get enough of. Please tell me you have dozens of more chapters planned for this story!

      Awesome storytelling.

      Thank you.

      • Hey JW,

        I know it seems like this story has been going on forever – thanks for sticking with it.

        More big moments to come in the following chapters, so, stick around!

        Thanks

    7. I so love this story – so romantic and they are just the best for each other.

      But I know dark days are coming soon. And I’m sure you will torture us with lots of angst!! Until they reunite.

      Loving every chapter and as always, waiting for the next update.

      • Hey Erin,

        You are so sweet yourself for your praise.

        You are so right about very dark days ahead for both of these ladies. Family issues, personal crisis, career pressures & that big body of water between them will all come to a head very soon.

        But I’m a true romantic, so keep that in mind.

        See ya next chapter & thanks so much for reading.

    8. I was so happy for Tina and Bette – they deserve some happiness, especially with everything starting to present challenges for them with their families, let alone their distance from one another.

      Waiting patiently for that chapter when they meet up again. But loving all the rest too!!

      • Hey Staci,

        So happy you have stuck around for this chapter & the rest of the novel. It will all start to happen more quickly now & the pace will quicken. We’ll see if Bette can help Ashley & how Tina and Bette treat each other when they meet back up.

        Best regards!

    9. A well-done chapter update. It was awesome. Would have loved to have seen that ring scene played by Jennifer and Laurel.

      Damn, but did Bette just curse them by saying they would never break up? UGH!

      I chuckled at Ashley’s observation of Bette about Tina –

      “Oh, please sis.” The younger Kennard said. “She looks at you like you hung the sun, the moon and the stars in the sky. She couldn’t stop grinning last night.”
      “Well, yeah.” Ashley whooped. “Like her face was gonna freeze with that big ole wide, shit eating grin.”

      Happy that Tina did the ring giving – shows how strong she is, how determined to be happy with Bette and their love. She’s truly Bette’s equal.

      Looks like Tina’s mom is getting worse with her health issues. Is she going to die?

      PPS as this is getting very interesting.

      • Hi Leigh,

        What a sweet comment – thank you.

        About JB & LuH – me too!! They would have rocked that scene on screen!!

        Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with the guess about Bette & cursing her chances with TK.

        Yeah, TK”s mom isn’t improving – that could be a big issue in the future with their relationship. We’ll see.

        Editing the next chapter now – so should post soon.

        Thanks as always.
