Snippets of Bliss
Bette changed into her pyjamas and got under the covers where she reclined on her side to watch Tina sleep for a few minutes. She was pretty agitated from her evening of work, but found that she was lulled into a peace simply by watching Tina. She willed her breathing to follow the rhythm that Tina set and she soon felt herself relax enough to drift away as well. She slept deeply and without dreams.
_________________
Tina woke before the alarm clock on her side of the bed went off. It was a habit she had perfected over the past weeks, as hers and Bette’s schedules demanded different waking times. She turned off the alarm, and then turned to look at Bette. The light was barely making its way into their bedroom, but it cast Bette in something of a silhouette, her features only visible in shadow. She wanted to reach out and touch her, but knew Bette must have been late getting home, because Tina didn’t even realize she was home until she woke up to see her asleep at her side. She let her left hand hover over Bette’s shoulder, just to feel the heat from her body. She felt a sigh escape from her before she resigned herself to rising for the day once again unable to have a face-to-face conversation with the person she was supposedly living with.
______________
The music from the alarm clock actually brought Bette from her deep sleep. Her first move was designed to rest her arm on Tina’s back.
"Damn" Bette exclaimed aloud as she became more awake and glanced around the room. "Tina?" she raised her voice in hopes that Tina was still wandering around the house getting ready for the day. There was no reply. "God damn it." She slammed her clenched fist down on the surface of the bed, the bed where she expected to have Tina by her side. She walked into the kitchen and spied the note on the table. She walked over and picked it up with what could only be described as a scowl on her face. She felt the tension melt away as she read it.
"Babe, I know it’s only Tuesday, but we have to start planning ahead if we hope to see each other before we enter a retirement home. Saturday is date night. No excuses. I’m making the plans. Be ready to go at seven. T"

okay bring on the next chapter please!! I love your stories!!
love notes only go so far – are they communicating any other way? Bring on date night – any appetizers before?
OK, JKS. This is supposed to be “Snippets of Bliss”! It doesn’t seem like it with this 1st chapter…. But date night is giving me hope and I have faith in you. This “separation” will make their “reunion” all the more sweet and beautiful. Please continue.
damn can only imagine livin like that..great post!
I love date nights!!!!
Some ideas……?
Like two ships passing in the night…
Very likely to happen with two highly professional women devoted to their careers.
At least they are aware that it’s happening and not falling victim to self-deception. Even better that Tina wants to grab the bull by the horns and do something about it before it’s too late.
Go on as long as you feel it’s the right course of action. I enjoy your stories whatever direction you take.
Yep, bring it on!!! Date night!!!
I say fuck work!!! Give us date night..we will be here..waiting patiently.

Your talent and skills will may this a story to follow and enjoy. I will be here watching and waiting to see wherever this leads.
Your Loyal Fan.
note tag eh… like the start so keep goin, i kinda want to know where it’s heading.
I had a friend who went through something similar some time back. Both were working at a frenetic pace and personal time was practically non-existent. Their solution? Something like what Tina’s doing. They would plan to have a night out once a week – just the two of them. Melly would carry dinner to Shae’s office when she had to work late. When Melly’s out of town, Shae’d write short love lines to her and stash them in Melly’s clothes so when she was away she’d be surprised by the notes. It was a hard long period – it lasted about 2 years. Yup they’d get frustrated but they always kept the lines of communication open and I think, in the end, that’s what really pulled them through. Don’t know how you’re gonna getthem over this hurdle but you’ve done great so far so I have all confidence in you.
This is off to a good start…please continue
I’m with Lsbn 100%. I trust you to untwist what’s become twisted…
Swim, those girls work too much. Didn’t anybody ever tell them: Nobody ever said on their deathbed, “Gee, wish I’d spent more time at the office”?
And I still love it when Bette gets mad and screams and curses…beatin’ up on the bed now! You’ve got these girls down. Excellent as always, Swim.
This is good and let see the date they have. Post soon please, thanks!
Nice beginning…keep it coming!
such a sweat story, pls continue
Love it. Can’t wait to see where you take this.
Yeah – bring on Date Night!! Ive read the previous story and its nice to have a guess at what B&T’s relationship was like in the early years – keep it going!!
great JKS cant wait for date night.
On with the next chapter, I wanna see how these two get things back on track before the demise of their relationship in S1. We need some B&T happiness!
very nice- looking forward to what you have planned next!
