Fire and Ice Chapter 27
Bette rolled her eyes and sat very still as she returned to the conversation with the blonde.
"Tina?" Bette’s tone worried as she reached her voice out.
"Yes…" Tina was more than a little uncomfortable being kept on hold for so long.
"I’m so sorry…" Bette instantly felt like an ass.
"It’s fine…what were you about to say???" Tina asked, referring to the ending point of their last conversation.
"Oh…I uh…Tina?" Bette began, her confidence slowly building.
"Yes Bette…" Tina succumbed to the now present heat in the brunette’s voice. She closed her eyes, letting it wash over her own body.
"Have lunch with me." Bette didn’t mean to present the question as a statement, it just came out that way. She couldn’t think of doing anything but having lunch with Tinna……and dinner…and breakfast….She quickly shook her head, concentrating on the blonde’s response eagerly.
"Um, I can’t…I’m going by Eric’s to pick up some of my stuff this afternoon…I really need to change clothes and get some work things for now…" Tina kicked herself. Why was she constantly running back and forth between her fear and desire for Bette.
"I could give you a ride…." Bette offered hopefully, not yet ready to take no for an answer.
Tina sighed. She wanted to be with Bette, but this was something she had to do alone. "No…no. I’m just going to take a cab. I’m not sure what I’ll be facing when I get there…but my car’s there…so I should be fine after that. Thanks though…"
Bette’s heart sank. She was completely deflated. What was Tina doing to her?
"Bette…" Tina voice began on the other end, her tone lifting Bette’s head with anticipation.
"Yes…" She asked, her voice earnetly awating Tina’s question.
"Do you…. have plans for dinner…tonight? Would you like to have dinner…with me??" Tina couldn’t believe the words that were coming out of her mouth…was she actually asking Bette out on a date? "You know, because I’d like to treat you…to thank you for last night…?" Tina tried desperately to level the invitation into ambiguity.
"No…I don’t have plans, but you really don’t need to buy me dinner…" Bette could feel her cheeks blushing with desire and confusion. Was this a date or a ‘thank you’ dinner?
"I insist…" Tina stated, her voice a little more playful now.
"Okay…I’d love that…" Bette was a little breathless, her surprise dually noted by the blonde.
"Great…" Tina lightly giggled, pleased that she had caused such an effect on the brunette.
"I can meet you somewhere…or at your hotel if you like…" Bette began, bent on regaining her alpha nature.
"Um, actually, I’m going to be out in the city later today…are you going to be around your gallery for any reason?" Tina asked quizically.
"I could be…" Bette offered, her eyebrows arched. "I’m sure I should check to see if the gallery is still standing after last night’s dinner…" Bette laughed, remembering the wild artists drinking late into the night. She had retired from the party hours before it even hinted of ending, leaving Marcus in control of the debauchery.
"So you don’t mind? I think I might have left something last night and I would like to check and see if it’s there…" Tina began, her tone turning mildly flirtatious.
Bette straightened at this early morning heat now invading her body.
"Oh really…what might that be…" Bette began, poorly attempting to remove the thick desire from her voice.
"I’ll see you around seven…is that okay?" Tina changed the subject obviously, a smile painted on her voice.
"Seven is perfect…" Bette managed, once again breathless.
"Great…I’ll see you there…" Tina’s voice poured pure sunshine into Bette’s heart. Bette’s smile released the rays into the room.
"See you there Tina…." The tone clicked and the line went dead, but Bette continued to talk into the receiver. "I can’t wait to see you there, 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. :>
