Crossroads- Ch. 7
As Lara headed to the bar she kicked herself for dancing with Bette. She knew their dance had been sexually charged, but she hadn’t considered how it might appear to Alice at the time. She’d simply let go and enjoyed herself. "Fuck," she groaned.
"Sure, I’d love to." Without warning Bette had sidled up to Lara. "But first I need another beer." Grinning broadly she winked at Lara, who suddenly tripped. "Easy there." Bette steadied Lara and then looked at her more seriously. "You okay?"
Lara righted herself and nodded. "Uhm, yeah. Just clumsy."
Bette laughed. "Hardly. You are a fantastic dance partner. You definitely left me wanting more."
Lara blinked. Was it possible that Bette was flirting with her? Lara’s mind swirled with their recent interactions, reviewing their conversations for any trace of sexual innuendo.
Bette nodded to the bartender. "My speechless friend here will take a Red Stripe and I’ll take a Negro Modelo please." Turning back towards Lara she asked, "How about dinner one night next week?"
Lara’s heart jumped. Oh my God, she IS flirting with me! A sudden image of Dana with her finger pointing down her throat and furiously shaking her head in disgust flashed unbidden in Lara’s mind.
Fortunately, Lara had work to fall back on. "Sorry, we’re rolling out a new light dinner menu next week, so I’ll have to be on duty each evening."
Bette nodded. "Maybe I’ll drop in and try it out. You could take a break and join me?"
Lara gratefully took her beer and took a sip to buy some time before she answered. There would be no harm in joining Bette for dinner, and it would be a better opportunity for discussion than in a noisy club. Should Bette express an interest in her romantically it would be a much more civilized conversation than continuing here.
Lara nodded. "Sure. How about Wednesday? That’ll give us a couple of days to work the kinks out."
Bette smiled. "I’ll be there."
Lara turned back to the table to avoid any more private conversation. "Better get back to the girls!"
As she sat down with the gang, she couldn’t help but wonder where Alice was. Carmen didn’t help matters at all when she proposed a toast. "To Alice, the only one who’s getting lucky tonight!"
Jenny and Kit noticed Lara didn’t lift her glass in response.

Lara and Bette, huh? NY intrigued. Looking forward to seeing where you’re going with this.
Wow, after the action in the herb garden, I did not see this one coming–interesting twist and (hopefully?) a nice Lace set up, complete with jealously and angst–hot! They’ve got ’til Wednesday, right? ;) I have to admit I find Bette and Lara potentially together a bit weird but then again, I’m looking forward to seeing where you’re going with this. Can’t wait for the next update! Post soon! Love this story so far!
Mmm … Bette and Lara … *drooling* This is interesting, looking forward to the next chapter.
Bette’s throwing her mack down. She is smooth and quick-witted. I mean, you are, b/c you wrote the words, and she’s just saying what you wrote. You get what I’m saying, right. B & L???? Has some possibilities, eh????
You know I never thought of Lara and Bette together…but I actually think it’s sexy. I’m such a TiBette fan, but Lara has alot of the same qualities that Tina had. (at least the Tina from S1) This could be very nice…very, very nice. I can’t wait to read your next post to see where you take this.
I guess Lara and Bette can be together if Alice is back with the vampire…but only til Tina sees them together and then we’ll see how it goes from there…okay?…lol
Is Bette planning on bringing Tina With her to Lara’s/ That would be fun
I just caught up with this story. I really like the intensity of the sparks flying between Alice and Lara…well, for as long as it lasted. I was all getting into Lace and now…Alice and Uta, Bette and Lara? I’m hoping Utaand Bette are just a distraction. Just to make them (Lara and Alice) realize they really need to be together.
Eww Lara and bette? Pfft nothing compared to Lace.
Wow, Alice should have given Lara a chance to explain. Bette was pretty hot on the dance floor. Bette and Lara??? sounds like a good fling!
