If You Never Say Anything to Me
Chapter 17
The first month after I told Bette we couldn’t see one another seemed to fly by. I met with Steve and transferred her case and took the case from him that he wasn’t making progress with. No wonder he wasn’t making progress. I try to find the good in all clients but this one was a true maniac. I dreaded our weekly sessions because he taxed my last nerve. He had problems, that was without question but he was just obnoxious in the most obnoxious ways. He was a 40 year old trying to live like a 21 year old fraternity boy. He would sit in my office and burp waiting for me to laugh at his manliness. His passing gas on demand caused me to stock up on air freshener. He was someone that I could find little to no positives about and thankfully, his insurance stopped authorizing services and he refused to pay out of pocket. His leaving my caseload was cause for me to almost dance on my desk.
I had not seen Bette during that time apart. Shane had seen her a couple times at The Planet but I still avoided going there so I had not run into her. It was easier that way for me. My feelings were still intense and I didn’t need that temptation.
Shane and I went out a couple times. We had gone to Santa Monica and she tried to get me to go home with a woman that I met and danced with but I couldn’t. I wasn’t attracted to her and I wasn’t looking for just the ability to say that I had slept with someone. Shane seemed so disappointed but I think that was because she wanted to go home with the friend. I encouraged her to go and that I would take a cab back to the hotel but she wouldn’t hear of it. She and I went back to the hotel and sat out by the pool drinking beer and talking. I know it wasn’t how she wanted the evening to end but by my standards, it was a great evening.
I went home and spent time with Mom and Dad which was really good. I hadn’t planned to go but my aunt and uncle were having an anniversary party and Mom sent me a ticket if I wanted to come home for the weekend. I went and had a fabulous time. Dad and I played golf and talked about all that was going on in my life. He didn’t try to be anything other than supportive. When I beat him, which was the first time in my life, his pride in me could have allowed me to throw anything out there and he would have been fine with it. Mom and I spent time together in her kitchen and she asked a zillion questions about my quest to find out if I was gay or not. Unfortunately, I didn’t have too many answers for her. Not much had changed for me to tell her. I did tell her about my conversation with Bette and she felt that was promising. I hung out some with my cousin who was so straight laced that she really made me nervous at times. She kept telling me that she prayed for me since I lived in such a sin filled place. If she only knew of the sins I wanted to be a part of. I felt it best to keep that to myself. If and when the time was right to tell her, she would either accept it or not. I could care less which choice she made regardless of my familial ties to her. She never opened herself to understand anything that was not in her realm of thought.

Yea!!! Please continue!!
I agree.. YEAH! We don’t have to wait until August 23rd afterall!
Definitly we do not have to wait until August. 23rd. Later tonight sounds good, tomorrow morning.
The 23rd is so far away. We can bump it up.
excellent! I love the stilted convo, love that dana is now part of the gang, love that they want to try sooner rather than later… Cannot wait for the first date!
SHAZAAAM!!!!! :)
I’m thinking July 2nd sounds like a lovely date… why procrastinate??
lets do 4th forth of july fireworks! :)PPS
You go, Tina! We, err, you two have waited long enough, so let’s get this party started =P Thanks for sharing this wonderful story, newagegirl!!
There’s a big smile on my face seeing this update! I loved this chapter and you NAG are perfection!
This is moving along very nicely! So good to have Dana back in the group.
Please move the date back,say like July 02. please. How long will it Bette to call Ms Mac Hottie. Bet she call her the next day thanks
Two months did seem a long time, but in one sense it was about right. I am glad that they ran into each other if only for Dana and Alice to meet. Now at least Tina is rethinking the August 23rd time line.
Good thing Bette and Tina ran into each other and had such a good time talking. I for one think a month is more than enough time to wait before getting together for a date ir just getting to know each other. PPS
The sooner the better. PPS.
Nice nice very nice.
Yeah! Let’s definitely NOT wait for the 23rd! PPS
Yes!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this chapter…in one chapter you covered a whole month and I don’t think they will make it to the 23rd. You have written this story to perfection just like Windows of Opportunity. You are an awesome writer NAG. Thanks for the post
Bette call her tomorrow! Can’t wait for more!
Glad the waiting period is almost over and both of them still have that intense feeling for one another. Thank you for including a healthy, beautiful Dana to this lovely tale. At least in fan-fic land, Dana is alive and well. I appreciate your frequent posts, NAG. *Thank you!* :>
Sorry NAG, I slipped behind but am all caught up now. So we’re not waiting the post Dr./pacient Dr. recommended waiting period. So GLAD. Ok if your not working on WoW than we should see another postd like really soon right, pretty please. Thank you, Md
Well the NAG “nap deprivation plan” worked. That took a little bit of work to get the road crew and the tree crew coordinated. LMAO. Wooo Hooo! We don’t have to wait ’til the 23rd. Thanks for the post NAG.
I love how you intergrated Dana into the story. It will be interesting to read their coming out adventures. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for Bette and Tina have a proper date. Great update.
wooohoooo we don’t have to wait til the 23rd!!!!Loving this story can’t wait til the next chapter PPS :)
Oh my goodness I just had the day/evening from hell and to find this story, then read it was such a welcome treat!!! Well if it were in a work situation, I’d probably be freaking out if the target date got pushed up, but in this situation…oh who am I kidding, I’m freaking out now too – but in a good way…this is SO awesome, can’t wait for that phone call ;)
Yes! i knew Tina would give in! two month, ha!:) PPS
nice night out….date date datenight!!!
So love how you brought Dana into the story. Bette will be calling Tina in the mornning. Thanks NAG!!! PPS
