Frozen Beginnings – Chapter seven
“Yes, I know!” Tina’s tone was sharp. “You left me on my own and walked to the kitchen, away out of earshot.”
“I did. I told him how you thought I was some kind of chalet help. It did makes us laugh. It was your father’s idea to let you carry on and believe so and he even suggested that putting you to work wouldn’t be too detrimental either. I agreed.”
“Put me to work!”
“Calm down, Tina.” Bette commanded gently, “Just have a think about how people perceive you. You always expect people to jump at your every whim. It was the ideal situation to show you that sometimes you have to work hard to be respected and earn people’s consideration. Beside I had no intention to let myself be outdone by a spoiled girl.”
“Letting me play with your computer, was part of the game?” Tina asked bitterly.
“Actually, your father told me how much talent you have. I just wanted to verify it for myself.”
“And of course, “Tina asked quietly, “Those were the blueprints for your house?”
“They were.”
“And the night we spent together?” Tina blurted out jutting her chin out proudly, “Was it another way to turn me into a responsible adult?”
“That… was…” Bette hesitated, “Unforeseen.”
“Should I feel flattered? It wasn’t part of the plan?” The blonde balled her fist and swallowed trying to contain her mounting nausea.
“There was no plan.”
Tina huffed.
“Your father thought the experience would be of benefit to you. Cooking, housework, chores…in short everything that you are not used to doing here. You have to admit you did enjoy some of it. Are you happy to be back in London reprising your life as you left it?” Bette voice was sharper again. Impatience having turned to irritation.
Tina wanted to flee but it would mean, admit defeat once again.
“Well, are you not going to reply?” Severe brown eyes were now scrutinising her.
“I…”
“You are looking for work because you cannot bear this idle existence and equally shallow friends anymore. You have had time to think on the side of that mountain and you have realised all this… tell me that I am wrong?”
“Are you expecting a ‘thank you’?” Tina exclaimed.

Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn! Should make for some interesting dynamics as their “professional” relationship develops.

This story is getting really good. I love their obstinateness. Won’t take long for Cupid’s arrows to hit the mark. Well done per usual.

Famous last words, just professional
SassyGran says
Eight pages leaving your readers, as usual, just wanting more!
Great writing of our two characters in this intriguing storyline.
Another chapter of these two being ‘professional’ soon please Kins. It is so good to have you back.
Freshe13 says
One of the best stories I’ve read on here lately. I enjoy the drawn out, push/pull relationship, hopefully leading to a climax (pun intended). Who needs to rush into a relationship, anyways! Keep up the good work!

Shit, my first comment got lost!
I totally agree with Freshe 13!
lipitora says
This was an interesting chapter. It was good to learn more about Bette background.
I admit but not exactly what I expected this chapter regarding.
but I’m still a big fan of this story and look forward to the next chapter.

Tsk Tsk Tsk somehow I believe Tina will be eating those strictly professional rules pretty soon….gosh this is good
CestMoi says
Yet another great chapter, good on you! You have written these characters very well and that’s not an easy task. I would be pissed too if I was Tina, her father and Bette did go behind her back and I feel like Bette should at some point apologize for that. Pls post soon and feel free to post more than 8 pages!;)

Kins my dear friend you never fail to impress.
Eight pages of another great chapter..
Tina not wanting to agree with anything Bette offers her.
Backing down in her own way by putting their relationship on a professional footing.To me Bette
always seems to have the upper hand but in a subtle way.
Still no closer to knowing what Bette does as a profession.
Kins you always leave us wanting more.
Looking forward eagerly to your next chapter.PPS….C.xx

Oh what I wouldn’t give to be a fly on the wall with them during this step off of a “professional” relationship. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Looking forward to the “strictly professional ” relationship!

Great job Kins! I love this story!!! Keep it coming please!
nuevodka says
What happens next? Next chapter please… Bette arrogance can be quite amusing but I hope it melts away. The sarcasm in her can be quite hurtful to someone who genuinely likes her…Hope Tina feels less cheated after a while. It’s awful to feel like a fool. First eric(Eric is such a bastard) and now Bette not being fully honest from the start. It’s hard to trust people after a while. Can’t wait to read how Tina shapes up in this story
betteporterjb says
continue please
