Fire and Ice Chapter 27
April 1999
Bette padded around barefoot on her pristine maple floors, sleepily making her way from her bedroom to the kitchen. She yawned and stretched her arms, finding that both moves only deepened her exhaustion. She hadn’t be able to sleep a wink since dropping Tina at the hotel…the peace of rest eluded her as she tossed and turned restlessly throughout the remainder of the night. Each time Bette would close her eyes, the blonde’s face flashed before her, displaying an unmistakeable look of want for Bette …the brunette had commited the look to memory, knowing she would need it later on when she was no longer beside Tina…
She sighed as she reached into her cupboard for a coffee cup, patiently tapping her fingers on the counter as the automatic timer delivered her cup of coffee promtly at 7:30 a.m. Bette never slept in…even on weekends she was up by this time, planning her day in full. Despite the leisurely pace of most weekends, Bette always had an agenda. On this Saturday, she felt no different. Her mind was reeling with ways to approach Tina again. She didn’t want to come on too strong, but what she was feeling was beginning to demand an outlet…and soon.
She glanced at the clock, knowing full well the general time, but hoping her glare would implore the minutes to pass by faster. She needed to talk to someone…anyone…she really needed a sounding board right now.
Without thinking, she began dialing the numbers from memory as she made her way to the sofa. She bent her legs under her bottom and snuggled in close to the armrest, balancing her cup of joe with her palm. She tossed a chenile throw across her knees, counting the dial tones anxiously.
Come on…pick up…pick up….
Suddenly, the phone clicked and went dead. Bette took her own phone from her ear and held it in front of her confused face. She shrugged and dialed again.
The phone picked up again, this time on the fifth ring. Silence greeted Bette as she leaned forward in anticipation.
"Alice?" Bette started lightly.
"Porter…" The low moan was one of annoyance mixed with animosity. "I’m gonna kick your ass for waking me up at 7:30 in the fucking morning…AGAIN…" Alice grogged.
"I’m sorry Alice…I really….I just really need to talk…" Bette felt guilty but still continued to press on. "I don’t know what to do about Tina…"

It must be 7:00 P.M. somewhere.
I can’t wait until 7pm…maybe you’ll post another chapter at that time…(that’s an hour and fifty six minutes from now)
Well I have to say it’s a delicious torture…now will they act on their flirting @ 7 & make up for their two interrupted kisses or prolong this sweet agony?!?!
Oh, 7 pm can’t get her fast enough! I wonder if Bette will have found a certain item prior to Tina’s arrival… Please continue the story for many more chapters — it’s just too good!
It’s 9:30 my time..so dinner should have happend by now. : ) I didn’t have time to read this morning and all day I just wanted to log on at work..figured some uptight bitty would see some hot chicks at the top of my screen and turn me in..hard to hide those lovely ladies from The L Word. I can’t wait for your next post..guess I will have to start getting up earlier.
Snail pace but I love it. Both are so cute.
This chapter was so fun. It was good to see Bette a bit crazed from just the thought of a chance with Tina. I hope Tina can get over her guilt from the whole Eric debacle and let herself go with Bette.
See you at 7 !!! Waiting… ;-))) PPVS
could it be…??? nooo…. or maybe after all…?!? hummmm… i think i’m just gonna sit here and let you unfold it… ^^
They’re playing with each other…cute
At the rate you’re going, they’ll probably kiss and give in to all that pent up desire by Chapter 75 and then commit to a relationship by Chapter 150. ;> Just kidding, firestarter. I still say *toooooorrrrtttuuuuurrrreee* is your middle name. Thanks just the same. :>

God, woman, haven’t you tease us enough? Please tell me they will at least kiss in the next chapter!
