    Author Notes:

    Chapter 7

    "Nice plant," Tara commented lightly. "What are you going to do with it?"

    "I’m not sure what to do with it," Bette replied honestly. "But I do have a phone call to make."

    She excused herself and walked purposefully back to her office. She dialled the number by heart and almost immediately heard the voice on the other end.

    "Tina Kennard."

    "You have been planning for a while," Bette said.

    "It arrived on time," Tina replied with a smile, but was apprehensive at how Bette might react.

    "It did, and it’s beautiful."

    "Are there ripe grapes on it?"

    "Delicious, ripe and so purple they’re almost black," Bette replied.

    "I had it delivered to the office because you could plant it in the courtyard at the centre of the building, or of course you could take it home and plant it in the yard."

    "I don’t have to leave it in the container?"

    "Not at all," Tina replied. "Although you might want to have a gardener help with the transplant to minimize the shock to the vine."

    "Hmm, I happen to know someone who is quite a skilled gardener," Bette said quietly. "Would you help with that?"

    "You know I’d love to."

    "Maybe this weekend?" Bette asked.

    "Sure, but I’m having you over for dinner on Friday," Tina reminded her.

    "I know, I’m not suggesting Friday."

    "You’re the one with a hectic dating schedule," Tina said. "You pick what day works best."

    "It’s not hectic Tina, it’s just dinner with someone from work," Bette said defensively.

    "I’m sorry," Tina said, trying to douse the flames of a potential argument. "I’m trying to give up my passive aggressive ways, but it’s taking some time. Forget I said anything. What would be best for you?"

    "Let’s make it Saturday," Bette said. "But later in the day so I can get some writing done in the morning."

    "We’ll confirm a time on Friday?"

    "Sounds good," Bette replied. "And Tina? Thanks. I’m touched that you thought of such a perfect gift."

    "Can I tell you a secret?" Tina said tentatively.

    "Okay."

    "The company I contracted to ship it over phoned me Saturday morning to let me know it had arrived and would be delivered today."

    "So that’s what spurred you to action this weekend," Bette laughed. "When did you become such a procrastinator?"

    "I know you haven’t been able to think of me without thinking about what I did to our family," Tina said quietly. "But for a long time I couldn’t think of you without thinking about what you did to our family. And I had to be sure. Worst case scenario, I would have re-routed the delivery this morning."

    "Well…" Bette started. "I’m still getting used to the idea. But I’m glad you decided to throw caution to the wind. It lets me know you’re not taking this lightly."

    "Like I said, I’m patient. I’ll see you on Friday."

    "What time should I come?" Bette asked.

    Tina contemplated offering a suggestive response to Bette’s question but thought better of it.

    Her pause made Bette perfectly aware of exactly what Tina was thinking and she couldn’t help the smile that teased the corners of her mouth as she awaited Tina’s reply.

    "I’ll be home by 5:30, so anytime after six o’clock would be great," Tina said.

    Once they had completed the call, Tina replaced the phone onto its cradle on her desk. Her hand remained as the thoughts swirled through her head.

    ‘You might have a date tomorrow,’ she thought to herself. ‘But I’m going to make sure it’s me who’s on your mind."

    She picked up the phone to place her next call.

    2. Now I want some grapes. Maybe authors should put food warnings on their stories so we won’t read when we’re hungry and there’s no food in sight.

    8. Hey, JKS, Nice to see that Tina is able to romance Bette in this story and personally I can;t wait to see what else she has it store. Hopefully more amorous than practical gifts as they would seem to be a way to Bette’s heart. More please of this deloghtful and hopeful tale. Many thanks of this light at the end of a very long and grey tunnel. Your Loyal Fan.

    10. Glad your back with this…missed it!…and this was really lovely!….like the idea that although Bette may be out with someone…Tina plans on being on her mind!..nice one

    11. I’m so glad to see another post from you, it’s a great story by a very talented writer!!!!! I really like this Tina, she knows what she wants and goes after it big time. I can’t wait to read what else Tina has in store for Bette :o)) Post soon again please….

    14. I’m loving Tina’s last line! Don’t go down without a fight girl; at least this way if things don’t work out she’ll know that she pulled out all the stops and gave it her all!

    15. As always,Excellent Chapter JKS.Would’ve loved it had it been much more longer, but you’re a busy gal. I’ll take what i can get.Post soon though, i can’t wait for more. Go Tina.

    18. Luckily I had some grapes right here that I can munch on – granted, they aren’t in a barrell, and they aren’t so purple that they’re almost black! That Tina is a schemer dreamer upper! Can’t wait to see what you think up next JKS!

    25. Wow, Tina is definitely in the mood to win her woman back. It is nice to see Tina working her way back to Bette and allowing Bette to take her time. Thank you for the post and hope that life and work settle down for you.

    29. So glad to see you’ve posted!! I like how Tina’s actions in trying to win Bette over. The thought that goes behind the grapevine is wonderful. Can’t wait to see what else she has up her sleeve to make sure Bette will be thinking about her and not her date!!!
