Fire and Ice Chapter 12
"That’s great…it absolutely won’t be a problem. It’s very casual. Half of this crowd is only here for cocktail hour, so sit where you may at dinner…" Bette was almost over zealous in answering the perfectly normal question.
Eric grinned, confused by Bette’s sudden uplift in mood.
"Sorry, just very nervous about the exhibit…don’t know whether I’m here or there really I’m just so consumed by it…It’s really become something I deal with on a daily basis…it’s such an anomaly, feeling this strongly about something I barely have control over" Bette realized she no longer talking about the exhibit. She stopped suddenly, smiling almost apologetically at Eric, hoping to elicit an understanding from him. An understanding on so many levels…
"Yes, I know you must be feeling quite the pressure lately. Malachi’s piece is certain to draw passionate response…but, you’re doing the right thing. You’re following your gut and staying true to your instincts…I’m frankly impressed by this bold new direction in which your moving…and the gallery is just going to explode, I know it."
Bette was beginning to feel uncomfortable…this whole conversation was becoming way too surreal.
"I don’t know what to say…"Bette stammered. She smiled shyly and looked down at Eric’s hand who was still holding her forearm. She felt her eyebrows crease slightly.
"Well" Eric began, grinning. "I hope you will excuse me…I hope to take full advantage of this evening…" Eric lightly released Bette’s forearm, not even sensing her uneasiness.
"Thank you again" he mouthed as he walked away, offering a palm of gratitude in her direction.
Bette nodded to Eric once, slowly. She closed her eyes and tried to catch her breath. She placed her fingers to her bangs and lightly whisked them from her eyelashes.
He doesn’t know…does he? I mean he couldn’t possibly…unless Tina…no. No way. Calm down Bette. You have got to regain some stability here…
Bette coaxed herself to open her eyes, and when she did, she nearly fell to her knees.
Standing alone at the entrance, amidst the hords of people, stood Tina Kennard. Tina’s breathing was steady and visable…like she had rampantly run through the streets to get there.
Bette could hear a low groan growing inside her body as her eyes followed Tina’s milky white neck up to her mouth, the lips pouting slightly as the air escaped them quickly.
The women locked eyes and the room transcended into another space and time as they held each other’s stare for much, much too long…

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.
God, Bette has it bad

Don’t leave it a cliffhanger for too long.PPS
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!!
