Alice had that feeling again. It was becoming harder to ignore, but doing so was made easier with Bette’s invitation. As forced as it was, it was still an invitation.
********
"Looks like you got some sun today," Eric said as they sat down to the dinner Tina had made.
"Bette invited us over for lunch today," Tina said. "I think she wanted to talk to you about a new artist she found. We ate on her patio."
Tina wasn’t sure where that unnecessary explanation came from. Bette had barely mentioned Eric and certainly gave no indication she had a business proposition for him.
"That was nice of her," Eric said. "She really knows what it means to be service oriented. Even if another dealer found a piece I wanted, I would wait for Bette to have access to it."
"You’re still taking tomorrow off?" Tina asked.
"Yeah, we got a lot done," Eric replied. "I’ll practice opening arguments tomorrow afternoon, but tonight is all ours. Looks like a great dinner Tina."
"With your long days at work this week, I know you’re eating too much take out," Tina said. "Time for something simple and nutritious."
"Are you building up my energy for a long night?" Eric reached to hold Tina’s hand.
"I won’t keep you up too long; you need your sleep," she smiled. "I know how important this trial is. We’ll have dinner and wrap up the evening with a little stress relief."
"You’re about the only thing that doesn’t stress me right now babe," he said.
They finished their meal in relative silence and were soon getting ready for bed.
"What’s that?" Eric asked as he walked into the bedroom. Tina was already leaning against a stack of pillows, reading.
"Bette was reading it this afternoon," Tina said. "I forgot how much I liked this book, so I picked it up on my way home."
"What’s it about?"
"A journalist went on an Everest expedition and wrote about the experience for Outside Magazine," Tina said. "It was eventually turned into a book."
"So…non-fiction?"
"Yeah, it really happened," Tina looked back to her book.

I’m enjoying this story very much, and appreciated that you allowed us to share that intimate moment with Tina and Eric. I never thought Eric was a bad guy, or had to be a jerk…he just wasn’t the right one for Tina, just like Alice wasn’t the right one for Bette. And I’m glad to see that even though I don’t think Eric is the right one for Tina, at least she’s enjoying the sex enough to orgasm twice! LOL Thanks JKS!!
Well, it might be sex-by-the-numbers with Eric, but Tina seems to not find it totally unpleasant. It’s other parts of their relationship that seem to be lacking. As for Bette and Alice, at least they’re letting the physical aspect of their relationship go to try and salvage one that will still have meaning. Here’s hoping your day worked out better than anticipated. Thanks for posting. :)
Thanks for the post! I like the set up on this beginning story. Can’t wait for the next post!
Enjoying your story very much
Finally the missing details of Alice and Bette’s breakup. i love this story, please keep writing. i even find myself liking this version of Eric, not his fault that Bette is so damn hot! PPS
Love this story! Hope your day went well.
Awesome story. If only break ups were that easy lol…looks like they both (Bette & Tina) got their goodbyes out, Tina just don’t realize it yet lol. Please don’t let her get pregnant by Eric. PPS
One more thing: Was Tina reading Jon Krakauer’s “Into Thin Air” pre- and post-coital? If yes, wow. That simple scene illustrated the contrast between their almost perfunctory relationship and sex life and the thrilling, life and death situation in the book. Tina reading the book as a bookend to the enjoyable but short coitus was a deft touch, jks. It spoke volumes of the status of their relationship. Many thanks, jks! =)
Sorry you had a craptastic day. Thanks for posting. Tina was in a relationship with Eric when they met and an O is an O – at least he knew how to give one! I’m curious how it will compare to her first experience with Bette. I have a feeling she can go all night!
🍻🐠 Cheers swimmie! You are the shiznit ✊😁 I love how easy you portray conversations. I see where this is going, but I’m scared on how it’s going to happen. Will you do drama? 😰 please be gentle. Thank you beautiful 😘
I’m about to have a craptastic day… – hope it went okay :-/
Great chapter Swimmie and I hope you had a much better day than you had expected. Love this chapter. Don’t feel sorry for Alice at all, she too, saw this breakup coming before she mentioned it. I think the breakup sex was a very bad idea because she wasn’t thinking of her broken heart, just a last opportunity to have hot sex that she thought she would never have again. Hopefully when Bette and Tina do get together hopefully Alice will not be the nosey, arrogant, and vengeful ex-girlfriend and pretend friend to Tina. Hope you won’t let Bette feel guilty and let her get away with all kinds of stuff. Never liked alice for that reason as well as broadcasting their business to one and all. Try to have a great weekend. The little one needs to get out and play weather permiting. Thanks for taking the time to post even when you don’t feel like it.
Good chapter
Hope your day proved better than expected. Thanks for writing!
Dear Swimmie, Please know I will be thinking about you today. Thank you for the update. I definitely know how Tina feels, but I reach for the iPad. I think that was TMI. lol
You never disappoint. I hope your day proves to be fantastic.
Right decision.I love your writing,thank you.PPS
Nice juxtaposition of two relationships that had come to a dead end, although one couple isn’t fully aware yet that they’ve plateaued already. It would be interesting to see how Bette and Tina’s friendship will continue to blossom from hereon. Thanks a lot for treating us with regular, well-written and well-thought out posts! Hope your day ended on a high note. A blessed and blissful New Year to you and your loved ones, jks! Cheers! =)
Awesome update. I like the pace of this story . Hope your day goes well
Thank you for a good update. Love this story and hope your day is better. Thank you again
Thanks Swimmie for another wonderful chapter. I agree with mightymouse’s comments with how you presented the two relationships. Very insightful writing. Loving the pace. Thanks!
