Match Made
“A recipe provides certain guidelines that should be followed Bette. Without these guidelines people would act on impulse with little regard to the consequences.” I wasn’t just talking about the chocolate pudding anymore and judging from her expression she knew precisely what I was referring to. “We need these guidelines to maintain things as they are.”
“Why limit ourselves to the way things are when we can improve on them and make something great happen?” she demands earnestly.
I frown at her confident use of the word ‘when’. “Not when, if, and that’s a mighty big ‘if’. I’m not sure that I’m prepared to bank on it and risk what we have”
She stops whisking and looks at me thoughtfully. “It wouldn’t be an if with me Tina”
“You have no way of knowing that” I say, dryly.
“I know”
I shift nervously under the intensity of her stare. “Bette, listen …”
“I know what I feel and it definitely doesn’t feel like an ‘if’ to me”
I can’t say that I’m startled by the sadness I detect in her voice. While the first six or so messages she left on my voice mail last Saturday were nonchalant ones requesting I call back, the fifty others which followed since have been desperate calls that alternated between professions of her surprisingly long-standing affection and tearful pleads that I answer the phone. I knew Bette’s feelings went far beyond simple interest and that both thrilled and scared me.
“Bette ..” I start, not really knowing how to divulge my concerns.
“Throw away the recipe Tina. Please” It was a soft, low request and it breaks my heart to actually hear her plead in person especially knowing I was too afraid to take the risk she was gladly taking herself.
I was dying to be brave but I kept quiet instead.
She starts to say something, then seems to change her mind.
“No more lumps” She finally declares after a lengthy silence.
I release a heavy sigh as she stares intently into the creamy smooth consistency of the dark melted chocolate.

Funny and wonderfully written!
May we have a follow-up to the follow-up please? We would love to hear about the date!
Just absolutely excellent. thank you.
cute, clever and entertaining. maybe there could be a spin off
Call you lazy never. I liked this Challenge and I think that it has potential to continue into a seperate story of how Bette and Tina’s date go and how the other girls, especailly Alice reacts to this and a little more progression into their courtship. Just a thought.
I loved this story. I’m so glad Tina finally relented. I just wish it could continue so that we could see how this whole relationship thing works out.
This is a wonderful addition thank u, and have a nice thanksgivings ;D
