Patricia was sitting at her desk when Bette appeared in her doorway.
“Who left that note?” As direct as she had ever been, Bette Porter conveyed her troubles to her friend and co-worker. Even with her arms crossed, though, she was soft with Patricia. Not her usual air of rigidity and business talk.
When Patricia simply looked up at her, Bette clarified.
“Tina didn’t leave it here. Well, not my wife Tina. It was another Tina. Fangirl Tina, or whoever she is.”
Patricia was catching on with minimal shock because Bette Porter had quite a lesbian following based not only on her looks, but her talent within the art world. She simply grinned, and put down her pen. “You’ll never learn, will you? Just how crazy women get over you.”
“Seriously … I know there have been a few admirers, but … I don’t know. It’s hard to explain. There’s something off about this one …”
Patricia touched her chin for a moment. “And her name’s Tina?”
“Yeah, oddly enough … it’s pretty bizarre. I know.”
Patricia let out a little laugh, and got up from her desk to accompany Bette back to her own office. She had one arm over the professor’s shoulder, leading her and yet making the task more difficult at the same time. “Oh, you know I’d never let anything happen to my best gal pal. I’ll keep an eye out. What does she look like? Decrepit and old – decaying flesh, perhaps?”
Bette laughed despite the situation, finding her way to her desk. “Hardy har har.”
“I’ll be your personal guard. No one will get through,” Patricia continued to tease as she braced herself in the door frame, mocking Bette’s concern, because she could see her friend was really becoming troubled. She provided some comedic relief in with all of the day’s drama. “Well. Not unless they get me a donut or something really juicy.”
“… How do I even respond to that?”
Patricia grinned, and slipped off to call back to her co-professor: “You don’t!”
Bette was still smiling with a shake of her head when she pulled her top drawer out, to keep flush with the edge of her desk. She worked for two minutes before something was bothering her – she always kept all of her drawers at a certain depth because who-knows-why, but when she looked down, two of her other drawers were pushed in all the way, too. She sat for a long moment, and panicked at the possibility that someone had gone through her things, but then she calmed herself down. Could it really be that the mysterious young woman had broken into her office and invaded her privacy, or was she simply creating the worries in her imagination? Her skepticism reminded her it was likely the latter.
With a shake of her head, Bette laughed away her own suspicion for improbability’s sake: “Nah.”
Having thrown concern from her mind, Bette returned focus to her work.

Our very first multi-chapter book! Thanks, GrindRight! Tomorrow, I will use screenshots of your story to show site members how to navigate a multi chapter book. You are a champ for posting today!!!
Thank you. The author’s note didn’t seem to work for my chapters, but I figure that is something that just doesn’t work at this moment in time. I’m glad to post, and while it confuses me in certain ways, I’m glad I can put more stories out for my readers. They’re an amazing group that inspires me every day.
I love your story so far and I’m already on the edge of my seat! Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Okay, I just gotta say that I’ve had stalky, creepy students before and your description of the interaction this “Tina” has with Bette gives me the chills! And the desk drawer thing! OMG! I just know what ever she is, this “Tina” will show up in TiBette’s home, in their bed, in their shower, rummaging through their cabinets eating up their fiery-hot Cheetos and Nutella while they’re both away at work!
What a treat…two chapters in two days!
Thanks!
I hope Bette is careful. That “Tina” seems really creepy. Pat’s nonchalant attitude was making me mad. She made it seem like Bette’s wife gave her that note personally. She should have added more details like this was just left for me to give to you or something. I’m looking forward to reading more. Thanks for posting.
Wow what an intriguing storyline. Love the new multiple chapter look! I am more afraid for wife Tina because I am afraid fan girl Tina will see her as a threat to her dream life with Bette. Hope Tina can convince Bette to take this seriously. Bette you need to listen to that still small voice…you are not paranoid…this girl is crazy and trouble.
Great story GrindRight!
Thanks GR! Tina/fan girl freaks me out. I can’t wait for the next post. New site! Woohoo!
I just realized the word l-e-s-b-i-a-n is censored if you’re not logged in. That seems a little ironic … I take it that is Word Press’s doing or some other affiliate?
Can’t wait to see how this unfolds. So happy to be reading your stories!
OMG this girl are crazy and Bette need to listen to Tina
