Fire and Ice Chapter 12
Bette circled her fingers around the wide bottomed glass and smiled at her friend. Alice was the best at putting her in her place, and Bette loved her for that.
Alice squeezed Bette’s shoulder lightly.
"Call me when you need me…I’ll be at the bar."
Bette watched Alice quickly cruise through the crowds of people beginning to form, hearing her say "excuse me" sweetly every so often before she was out of ear shot.
Bette swirled the liquid around in her glass, draining it before she began confidently moving on from her obsessive stance.
She approached a group of local artists and before she could get her welcome out, Bette glimpsed Eric merging through the thick density of people gathered near the entrance.
Her heart began speeding blood through her body instantly. She heard the rhythms of her excitement beat loud and clear in her ears. She slightly managed to crane her neck, searching out the blonde who would surely be directly behind him. Butterflies beat the walls of her stomach…she felt the rush release all thoughout her body.
Eric continued to manuever through the crowd, finally removing himself completely. He found Bette’s gaze in his proximity and began to wave politely.
Bette hardly noticed Eric’s approach; she was busy looking past him, becoming increasingly hollow as the seconds ticked by without a sign of her.
She was ill-equipt to handle such longing and then…nothing. The let down was utterly excrutiating. Where was she????
Bette was forced to meet Eric’s line of sight as he met her face to face. He touched her forearm softly.
"Thank you so much for having me here tonight, Bette. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated this." Eric was literally gleaming.
Bette tried direly to hide the melancholy look in her eyes. She felt absolutely debunked.
She summoned a smile. "Eric…please." She began, almost choked with disappointment. "I am more than happy to have you here…I’m so glad that you and…that you could make it."
"Oh. Yes, by the way, Tina will be here…I’m not sure what time or if she will even make it by the time dinner actually begins…is that going to really mess up your seating plan?" Eric asked concerned.
Bette almost laughed out loud with relief. She was overcome with a new anticipation to see the blonde….so much stronger now that she knew what this woman was capable of doing to her.

What’s with this slow burn you taking Bette and Tina through??? It’s good, but I’m really about to come out of my seat in anticipation of each chapter. PPS
Bette is surely “pining” as Alice stated so eloquently. :) I can’t wait to see how Bette and Tina interact after such heat on Tina’s arrival. :)
Wow, you must be feeling better that was way hot. Hope to read the next chapter very soon.

AWEsome update…..very palpable writing….hope the next one contains Tina’s thoughts; did she happen to notice Bette’s moment of clarity/vulnerability?? I don’t think your writing was compromised at all on the last post…but definitely for the sake of your own peace of mind, hold off until you feel it, that’s what i’m doing ;) Thx for the update & PPS!!
