Heartbeat – Chapter 8
Bette stopped in her tracks. She gave Tina a big smile. “Did you say ice cream? Of course I still love it. I mean, I don’t eat as often as I would like, but yes…I still love ice cream.” She leaned on the counter and gave Tina her best puppy dog eyes. “By any chance, would you happen to have chocolate syrup and sprinkles to go with said ice cream?”
Tina chuckled. “I think I have some in the pantry.” She walked toward the pantry. “The dishes can wait.” She disappeared in the pantry and reappeared carrying a bottle of chocolate syrup, a small container of sprinkles and a small jar of reduced balsamic vinegar.
Bette watched as Tina placed the ingredients on the counter. Her movements were smooth as Tina turned toward the French-style refrigerator and opened the bottom freezer. She pulled the carton of ice cream from where it rested inside and placed it on the counter and removed a container of strawberries they had purchased earlier from the refrigerator.
“Bette, can you please get me two dessert bowls from the cabinet.” Tina pointed to the cabinet in the corner.
Tina watched Bette reached for the bowls. The shirt Bette was wearing rode up and exposed the brunette’s toned abdomen. Tina stopped what she was doing and just watched. At that moment Tina was happy that she had placed the dessert bowls so high up on the shelves. She quickly looked down as Bette turned triumphantly with the bowls.
“Why do you keep the bowls on the top shelf?” Bette asked. She placed the bowls in front of Tina.
Tina shrugged. “If I keep them on the top shelf it prevents me from getting them because I won’t be able to reach them and if I can’t reach them, I don’t eat dessert and therefore I’m able to keep my figure.” Tina stepped back and swept her hand over her. “But it doesn’t work because I end up eating out of the container.” She chuckled. She heard Bette join in. She washed the strawberries, removed the stems and sliced them thin. “You can stick to your chocolate syrup and sprinkles while I have mine with strawberries and reduced balsamic vinegar.”

Wonderful update enjoyed it. They will get it together before long, now that they know how the other feels. Thanks for posting.
The idea of them being alone at the beach sounds so romantic to me. Great way to refresh their memories of their happy times together. Thanks for the update T! PPS
**I meant them being alone at the beach house(-;
Great update.I think Andrea is now history.Thank you and PPS
More coincidences with Andrea and Tina…. interesting. Bette’s clearly been yearning for Tina for a long, long time. Maybe she’ll make the most of her opportunity, if she can get past everything. I’m curious about this strawberry/balsamic vinegar/ice cream concoction… but not curious enough to try it myself, as my palate is the stuff of cowards. I have a very willing test subject in mind though. ;) Thanks for the post, tg. :)
Thanks for the update. Ditto to the above comments. Its a wonderful story of hopefully new beginnings.
That was just so great. Thank you
Really enjoyed the update, thanks
Sweet Mary mother of God you’re singing my song…reduced balsamic vinegar and ice cream with strawberries. I haven’t had that for a long time. Clearly, Bette has some lingering Tina issues, and was trying to find her substitute in Andrea.
So much time lost. That’s so sad.
Thats good and they need to talk
That’s me all caught up… Perfect chapter… Not sure about the strawberries and balsamic vinegar but ‘don’t knock it until you tried it’ right? Funny the things you do unconsciously which link you to your past…. And even when they are pointed out to you, you don’t pay attention until it nearly slaps you in the face… Great piece of writing too! XxK
so bittersweet for these two always, but I guess love is never easy and simple
