Chapter 16
Just four floors to go and she would be reaching the 45th floor and in all honesty she couldn’t contain her excitement because in just a matter of probably less or more than a minute she would see Bette again.
Tina was alone and standing in the middle of the elevator looking at her own reflection.
She smiled as she carefully scrutinized her overall look; loose mane, light make up, powder blue V-neck shirt, distressed jeans and brown leather boots, a far cry from her usual power suits and expensive pair of Manolo Blahniks. But the one thing that was so evident in her was that certain spark in those beautiful hazel eyes which was something that had been missing for a long time or probably wasn’t even there in the first place.
The blonde looked up and it was 43rd floor and suddenly butterflies started swirling again inside her stomach. Last night was the night that she would never ever forget. She and Bette lay in bed for almost an hour, had a nice conversation, shared a few laughs and even flirted with each other. Then after, the brunette made her the most delicious chicken soup so she wouldn’t sleep with an empty stomach then finishing it with a tight embrace and a lingering kiss on her forehead before leaving the lake house.
Ding…
Tina managed to take a deep breath before the elevator door opened and her eyes automatically searched for the one person that could easily make her heart flutter. And there was Bette, looking so gorgeous while sitting on her desk dribbling something on her notepad at the same time one hand was holding the phone and uttering something that Tina couldn’t decipher for all the blonde was focusing on was the graceful movements of Bette’s lips as she talked to the person on the other line.
“Good morning Ms. Kennard!” James greeted then gave her a cup of her favorite espresso
“Good morning James, thanks, how are you?” the blonde asked smiling Bette waived at her, Tina in return smiled at her then nodded.
James was expecting to see his lady boss in a very bad mood when she didn’t come back after lunch with Bette yesterday but instead he was so surprised not only with her very “casual look” which was very unusual for a woman like Tina Kennard but also at what she just said plus the quality of her tone. James thought that she looked so happy and radiant. In addition to that, in his seven years working as Tina’s assistant he never heard her asked him how he was especially at nine o’clock in the morning. He cleared his throat when he noticed that Tina was waiting for his response

Glad you’re back. I’ve missed this story. Hope all is well.
Great update, missed this story.
Hospital?! I hope for work, if not, i hope everything will be fine for you.
Their relationship is developing in the right direction. I am glad Bette told Tim they can be friends and nothing more.
Even better is that she told Tina about it.
Take care and i hope to see another update
Soon.
I like where their relationship is heading. This is such a wonderful story.
I hope you get out of hospital soon and mend quickly! Hope to see you post as soon as you’re feeling up to it. Thanks.
Phacey:
Hope that’s okay
and not in the hospital because you are sick
Thank you very much for the update, I was expecting too much.
I am glad that Bette and Tina are starting a relationship, slowly TiBette be routed, I love your writing.
I can not wait for the next chapter.
Hope all is well Phacey, thanks again.
Delighted to see this story update and hope it’s going to be followed fairly quickly with more!
Sorry if you are in hospital for your own health reasons and if you are please get better quicker.
Love how you are using Bette and Tina here and will wait, rather impatiently, for your next post!
Finally an update!!! I just love how you write this B and T lots of fun stuff i like it when Bette told Tina the way she looked at her and that last scene when Bette called the jealous Tina after her date with Tim.
Phacey i hope nothing serious is going on with your health and please take care of yourself. Post soon when you can.
First off! Still prayers up for your quick recovery of your health! Second, thanks for this wonderful post. I loved the ending the best. I’m glad Bette told Tina what she told Tim. I’m glad they are getting to know each other more. I don’t understand how Bette has Boo picture on her desk and Tina haven’t seen it. I’m sure now that Bette will be staying that she will see it. NO! I don’t want Tina to find out like that. I want her to find out at Boo birthday party. I’m still waiting on Boo to call Tina! I wonder do she still have Tina number. Feel better soon and HURRY and post again! Love it! PPS
That should have said “sending up prayers”! Sorry
Loved the update and that Bette told Tim only friends. Thanks
Thank you for posting. Hospital doesn’t sounds good but if it is for cure, treatment and recovey they know best. Hope eveything is fine for you.
The next chapter I wish for, is to see them madly in love, it takes two to tango, the foundation of the story flows very well… detailing everything happened for a reason.
You take care…
My dearest friend im so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well right now but please accept our deepest thanks for posting even if you are in the hospital.
As always you never dissappoint despite the erratic update. I loved how Tina “copied” Angelica’s sweet gesture in wooing Bette and the ending was absolutely superb. Ten stars all the way.
Get well soon sweetie:-)
Woohoo new update!!!! I just looove this story thanks for posting and pls get well soon!
Yes! Now let’s get this show on the road! Thanks so much for posting. Can’t wait for the next chapter. Im so sorry you’re going thru this. I hope you get to feeling better soon. Thanks for thinking of us.
Dear phasey, I sincerely hope that is not too bad at the hospital and you’re well. I appreciate your effort to post knowing that we’re waiting.
The chapter, as always, I loved it. very sweet, lowering tensions over Tina, it even seems that there is hope for improvement with their parents.
I appreciate the flowers sent Tina, good that Bette never doubted the meaning of T. ; )
It seems that both have decided to quickly resolve misunderstandings. Fear gave me the appointment with Tim, I thought at least Bette talk about it before going, but given the outcome, no matter, it seems that since the road is clear. A new way to reach a new first kiss.
Angy’s birthday when? I am expectant to see Tina’s surprise. What questions do first after lunch Bette?
You keep surprising us and post when you can, take care much.
First of all, I hope that the reason is in the hospital
to work or social service, let me not be affected
for health reasons. But …. if it is, hope you are well.
This story delights me, love how you condus it.
Bette eTina begin to know better .Tina already realizes that Bette
not turn pro money.
Love the way it looks bette tina.
They are involved every day with one another.
Congratulations! Ten stars.
First of all, thank you so much for this update. Even you were in the hospital, you were still able to post a new chapter. It was nice of you for thinking about your readers even if you were in a “not well” situation. Your efforts are highly appreciated.
But you never really failed to surprise us, or may I say leave us hanging. But this time it’s not with your story but with what had happened to you. “Hospital” doesn’t really sounds good. All we can do is hope that nothing serious happened and hope everything is well now.
About your story, seems like everything is going well for Bette and Tina. And seems like the sun is starting to shine on Tina now and nice to see her happy and blooming. But I don’t understand why Bette immediately reacted that way and got pissed when Tina mentioned about their agreement. I know she was hurt that Tina was thinking that she’s only after her money. Well, isn’t she? money was the reason why she accepted Tina’s offer in the first place. At least Tina already proved to her that she’s not a pervert person when she called off their agreement. But Bette is yet to prove herself to Tina that she’s also not a loose woman. But I’m glad that she’s started to prove it in the last part of this chapter and I’m happy that they were able to resolve their little misunderstanding. I hope it will be the start of a beautiful beginning for them. Also glad that Tim was so gracious to accept that he and Bette can never be more than friends. It lessens the complications in the story.
Maybe you’re a very laid back and never into rushing things kind if person but I hope you won’t make us wait too long and I hope you’ll be inspired enough to post another chapter despite being busy.
Thanks! and post anytime you can. Take your time and remember, there’s no rush. Another update this weekend would be enough for us. But of course your health is more important to us.
This is kinda lengthy but I know you love knowing your readers’ thoughts, so there you go.
Hope you are well because we’ve been missing you and your amazing story so wishing you post a new chapter asap.
That was good. Loving this story. But this has really been a slow burn. Glad Bette told Tim that nothing will happen and really loved her phone call to Tina. Waiting for an update
