Tina joined Bette at her side, facing Alice in the doorway. Bette glanced quickly at Tina, a half smile cocked on her face. Tina flashed her eyes, squinting playfully, her eyelids sultry.
Bette couldn’t believe that Tina was flirting with her in front of someone…it made her heart pound with jubilation.
"Wow…you two look totally hot together…" Alice blurted out before she could think to stop herself.
Both of the women turned abruptly to Alice, Tina’s mouth hanging open slightly.
"Alice." Bette’s one word summed up her feelings towards Alice’s inappropriately stated observation. However, her eyes silently thanked her.
Alice shrugged and took a quick sip of her drink. She knew that opening her mouth again would result in nothing good.
"Maybe we should get back…I do need to start getting everything into place for dinner…" Bette turned her gaze to Tina, gently holding her there, not wanting to let go.
"Hey Bette…." Alice interrupted suddenly. "Do you mind if I use your bathroom…the line is hellacious out there…" Alice began to move past the women, assuming her permission granted.
Tina stiffened instantly. Anxious waves cascaded over her body as Alice flipped the light-switch and closed the door to the bathroom. She was terrified that Alice would find the earring…and possibly screw up her return ticket to Bette.
"Tina…are you okay?" Bette asked, nervous by the blonde’s sudden shift in stance.
"Of course…it’s just, you have so much going on tonight….I’m sorry that I took up so much of your time…" Tina stammered, shaking her head.
"I’m not…" Bette stated with intense honesty.
Tina drew in a slow breath as her eyes melted into the brunette’s. Bette inched closer, dragging the delicate tip of her nose lightly on Tina’s hairline. Tina’s hand came to rest under Bette’s elbow, her body so instinctively connecting to Bette’s.
Bette drew her face back slighty, her eyes carelessly close to Tina’s.
"I really want to know you, Tina….and I’ll do whatever it takes to do that…" Bette’s tone full of promise and need. Tina shivered as Bette’s breath tickled her lips.
Suddenly the door clicked and the women jumped apart. Alice popped out of the bathroom, waving her hands dramatically.
"Bette…I think you’re out of paper towels…" Alice furrowed her brows as she looked around for something to wipe her damp hands on.
"Alice, there aren’t any paper towels…use the bath towl, hanging right above the sink…" Bette shook her head with amusement.
"Riiiiiight. Guess I missed that one…" Alice turned sheepishly around and disappeared back into the bathroom, leaving the door fully open.
Bette looked to Tina and they both laughed. They shared another long eye lock before Alice came bounding back out of the bathroom.
"Let’s roll out…" Alice declared. Tina felt relieved that Alice made no mention of the earring. Apparently she was not that observant…afterall, she had totally missed the hand towel hanging in front of her face.
As Bette returned for the champagne glasses on the desk, Alice made a ‘psst’ sound at Tina.
Alice raised her eyebrows and cocked her head towards the bathroom.
"Nice move…" She mouthed, winking at Tina.
Tina’s cheeks turned pink, though the look in Alice’s eyes told Tina that her secret was safe. She smiled, nonetheless embarrassed that she had been discovered.
"All set…"Bette stopped at Tina’s side, offering her the champagne glass. "Shall we?" She extended her honey kissed arm, allowing Alice and Tina to lead the way out of the office.
Alice darted out first, leaving a grateful Bette and Tina to slowly saunter behind.
"I suppose I’ll catch up with you at dinner then…?" The brunette grasped her hands together around the champagne flute suddenly afraid to lose progress upon re-entry into the real world.
"Yeah…I’ll find you…" Tina smiled, her eyes full of sincerity.
Bette’s knees shook at the sight of Tina’s stare. She loved what she saw there…the humbleness, the quiet beauty, the kindness, the honesty…the heat.
As Bette and Tina stepped together out of the hallway leading to her office, they were met with bustling crowds standing before them.
Eric, standing near-by, glanced twice before recognizing that his girlfriend was standing awfully close to Bette Porter….

Got to frrl something for Eric, he should know by now that Tinas heart is lost to him. What kind of stuff will he pull or try to pull off. Tina is going to go with Bette. So bye,bte Eric.
Well, Tina has some things so do prior to retrieving her earring,,,she better have a talk with dear Eric!
Oh yes Eric it’s over! I totally am in love with this story:)PPS
Woo Hoo…Bette came right out and told her…good for you Bette! Now there can be no misunderstanding on Tina’s part, if she wants to pursue Bette, she needs to dump Eric (nicely of course!). Love this story Fire, the slow burn is nothing short of delicious!

Alice has the worst timing…poor Bette and Tina. I’m guessing Eric is no idiot here. PPS.
I knew it, it had to be Alice, of course alice saw the earing she doesn’t miss a thing!!!this slow dance is so amazing!!! :)PPS
i like that Eric isn’t clueless.Why would Tina have dated someone dense? i also like your Alice. (i hope i’ve already made it clear i like your tina and bette!)
bye bye Eric and Alice!!! Maybe they could go together???? Love it. pps.
Alice always has the worst timing but at least she warned them. she should have told Eric that she saw Tina leave. then they could have had a lovely evening. PPS
You can stick a fork in Eric…he’s DONE!! LOL at the banter between Alice and Bette. I love the sparks that are flying between Bette and Tina…so intense!! Can’t wait for next chapter!
I love Alice, but I was getting ready to shoot her. She’ll cover, she always has. Poor Eric he has no clue that his life is about to change.
Alice is a devil, my God she can be so annoying and at the same time so cute and helpful, I adore this story and your talent, it’s progressing beautifully, and I know that we all will be surprised and amazed at the end, I hope Eric will not cause much trouble for seeing them so close and intimate, I mean he got to be blind to not see the longing in their eyes but I wish he wouldn’t mess their night. Thank you dear, you are brilliant.Post soon Love
Oh, Fire – You Rock! Thanks for including the paper towel deal (even it needed to happen with Tina instead of Alice!) I love the subtle coming undone between these two – it is simply tantalizing. Eric needs to go. I’m glad the earring is in place. Please don’t end the story too soon – it’s too GOOD!
Alice not observant…I don’t think so…I am glad that she is keeping Tina’s secret. Wonder if Eric will catch a clue before Tina leaves him for good???
Ahh love B&T, Alice is funny and crazy lol!
