“Our first date will be an evening one, I refuse to stand for any that lunch date crap you seem to love planning. It would be pointless any how since I’m your bail call, you can hardly call me to bail you out of a date I’m on with you, very tasteless.”
It was safe to say Bette was now back to her old head-strong self, her voice no longer strained with hurt. I could handle this Bette. Where the old vulnerable Bette left me feeling raw and guilty this one challenged me with her stubbornness. “Pointless, is this conversation. I won’t be going on a date with you any time soon Bette. I thought we established that”
Seemingly unconcerned by my protest, she laughs and I smile thankful that our easy friendship has allowed us to bounce back and move past the disconcerting atmosphere brought on by our earlier heavy discussion. It only took about thirty minutes for the tension to fade considerably, now with fifteen till the bird is cooked we’ve already recovered our equilibrium.
“Apparently it will have to be a grand gesture if I’m to have any hope of penetrating your reluctance. I will get you to see our potential Tina.”
“All that grandeur will be wasted on me” I smirk.
“Never” Bette sniffs, wiping the tears from her eyes with the back of her wrist.
With fifteen minutes left on the oven timer the delicious aromas of the roasting turkey had finally reached my nostrils. My stomach gave a disturbingly loud bellow and Bette offered to make me a sandwich to quench my hunger, fast-forward two minutes and she’s tearing up. What’s a steak sandwich without a bit of onion.
While she goes on to tell me more about the elaborate date she’s been planning for god knows how long, I stare at her hands keeping a close tap on their activities and how my sandwich is coming along. I vaguely hear her talking about balloons and pomegranates, two of my favorite things. “Another slice of cheese” I demand, mulling over what I missed about how she plans to incorporate balloons and pomegranates into our date, a date that I’m beginning to think might actually happen. I seem to have considered everything at stake except the opportunity cost. A missed opportunity could ultimately be as heart-breaking as a lost friendship. Although I’m not entirely convinced it would work, at some point between the turkey going in the oven and her expressing her fears about us over the salad preparations, I’ve made an extraordinary leap and decided it might not be such a horrible idea to give Bette and I a fair chance.

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
