S. O. (Esss Ohhh)
“Rachel said you didn’t want her to pay for everyone’s breakfast?” the blonde asked at last, after she swallowed the chewed-up panini. “Why did …”
“No, I didn’t charge her. I figured the first round would be on me,” Bette answered, evidently figuring out how, mentally, Tina was faring, given everything she’d overheard while out on the deck with Tina. “I’m counting on all or most of you grabbing breakfast here, of course, every day while filming goes on, before you head out to the set.”
Tina had to laugh at that. “Oh, I don’t think you’ll have a problem with that, Jay. In fact, I checked with William, and he agreed with me that we could plaster our social media with references to this café.”
Bette’s mouth formed a silent “O” as Tina added, “and I don’t know if Rachel’s told you, but we have a few pretty famous people flying in today and tomorrow, who have parts in this movie, and they’ll be surely be coming to this café, too. Rach and I will spread the word on set to promote this café, so I don’t think it’ll be long ‘til their Insta posts, Twitter, and what not will talk about this café, Jay!”
Bette’s raised eyebrows indicated that, no, Rachel hadn’t mentioned that.
“But all that doesn’t mean that we get to have free food and drink.” Tina shifted the bags she’d lifted from Jay’s arms to one arm so that she could pull her wallet from her bag.
Bette started to protest again, but Tina cut her off. “I gotta say that you have a terrible business model going here if you don’t charge for coffee and food made with what has to be expensive equipment …”
“Like I said,” Bette interrupted, “I’m counting on ….”
“Unless your business model includes sinking the business on day one? Plus, that’s not how we in Shaolin Pictures treat our partners…”
“No, my business model isn’t designed around failure on day one, of course. Um… partners?”
Tina handed Jay her credit card. “Yeah, we’re partners now, right? You’re supplying us with life-sustaining food and drink…” Tina winked. “At the very least you’re promising not to poison us, so, we should probably start off on the right foot by paying you …”

Thanks for the chapter!
Great to see new part of the story.
And Tina – this is Bette! You just need to jump on her and Oh wait, you just almost did it:)
Tina says (innocently): “almost did what?”
????
Hm, maybe we’ll find out in next chapter?:)
So happy to see the update. Thanks
Just had to say that I was so happy to see a new chapter to this story! Love your attention to detail and YES to more teasing from those two.
Thanks for posting!
I personally luv the early, teasing phase when you just know you’ve clicked with someone
the fighting phase, um, not so much.
Would love to see this story continued by the way! I think about that ending often. That chemistry!! Hope you’ll consider x
Hi JBLH,
Yes, will continue this. Taking a while, but getting there! Hope you’ve had a good holiday. Happy New Year!

Thank you for the reply and I’m so happy to hear this news!!! Happy New Year and I can’t wait to see where this story goes.
Happy writing!
So great to have a new chapter, thanks ever so much. Always wonderful to read about their love blossoming, and right now it is on a rampage. Yay!!!!! Tina will get all her stuff together, take care of her children and tell henry to go straight to hades and beyond. He is too much of a d–k to tell her he wants out, just not much of a man, his mother had already told her so. Tina should have listened to her and run like hell. I think he has already found someone to keep him warm at night, whether it is Stockholm or New York. Good riddance to him, he’s not worth piss. She needs Bette in her life for a love that is total and complete and when the children are there they will look like a truly complete family. Can hardly wait for all this to unfold. Thanks again for posting.
Speaking of Stockholm, for some reason, I thought you’d appreciate the following one liner from Ken Dodd (RIP):
“Just read a book about Stockholm Syndrome. It started off badly, but by the end I really liked it…”
Side-splitting ????
Not picking on Swedish friends and readers out there, of course.
Thanks for commenting. Now let me get a pot for H to p*ss in, bec that’s all he deserves, right?
Welcome back skydancer!
I missed you and your story!
They met and bonded immediatley, there was a instant connection.
Henry is a asshole and it wouldn’t surprise me if he is cheating around Tina’s back. Dump him and start a family with Bette.
It is clear that Lena is history as possible lover, but i do hope she will continue to be a friend for Bette.
Fantastic update, please don’t let us wait too long for the next chapter!
So does anyone here have an ex-SO whose fine with being just a friend, after things went south between you two? For real, I mean.
I hadn’t and i doubt about possibility of this.
That’s why i always be sceptical about IC version friendship between Bette and Alice in TLW and that Alice truly cared about B&T relationship.
Hi, it’s been a long time since your last post, are you consider to continue this very interesting story?
Hi Z, yes, it has been a long time. I’ve had the next few chapters in draft, but haven’t had time to finish them. Meanwhile, a few things happened IRL, so life sucked for a while, and I wasn’t writing anything. Then a new story wormed its way into my head, in a way I couldn’t ignore so I’ve been writing that one out. May post that sooner than the next chapter for this one, and I hope you’ll like it.
Take good care, in the meantime!

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Then i’ll be waiting for your new story or update for this one!
Oh no, it’s been 3 1/2 years since the last entry. Please don’t tell me that COVID-19 impacted your writing.
I love this new/different story line!! When TJ arrives the intersection with Bette (Jay) will just add more and more to the story.
And, don’t forget the LA airport lounge conversation that Bette heard period to her departure. Another line of this great story!
Please write/publish more, PLEASE!
