"Oh my God, I can’t believe you answered the phone," Tina said with mock incredulity.
"You must have gotten my message," Bette smiled as she replied into the receiver.
"I did, thanks for the distraction," Tina said. "I didn’t realize the suggestion of date night would unleash your imagination."
"Your note made me realize how long it’s been since wehad some quality time together," Bette said euphemistically. "And it will be up to both of us to make sure we never go this long again."
"Are you suggesting I was planning a seduction this weekend?" Tina asked.
"Well if you’re not, I am, so consider yourself forewarned," Bette replied.
"Any chance we could get together before Saturday?"
"I’ll be home by seven on Thursday," Bette suggested.
"That’s the only night I can’t compromise on babe," Tina said as she glanced at her calendar. "Final merger talks are happening. How’s tomorrow for lunch?"
"I don’t have enough time to get out of the gallery tomorrow, Tee," sighed Bette. "Client meetings until 12:30 and then another at 1:30."
"Saturday it is I guess."
"Sorry, I thought we’d be able to find some time," Bette said apologetically.
"It’s just a busy time for both of us," Tina replied. "We’ll get through it."
"Any chance you’ll still be awake when I get home tonight," Bette asked. "It shouldn’t be much after ten."
"I should be able to last ’til then. As long as it’s not much after" Tina ended with a thinly veiled reminder of her recent propensity for early nights.
"I’ll do my best," Bette replied. "But Saturday is a date, okay?"
"Perhaps cross paths in the bedroom before then, but yes, Saturday. Just us."
They disconnected the call and Tina stood thoughtfully for a moment.
"If you can’t get away from the gallery for lunch tomorrow, maybe I’m just going to have to see what I can do to meet you there," she said quietly. She picked up the phone again, but this time dialled Bette’s assistant, Helen. The wheels were turning as to how she might plan a brief rendezvous at the gallery, worthy of being called an appetizer to Saturday night’s main course.

Your B&T “snippets” are amazing and highlight the best parts of being a couple… this situation is SO Realisitic. Sure you have to work a little harder and make some compromizes… but the rewards are worth it. Who wouldn’t love to put a little surprise in someone’s lunch time. ;) I’ll be having my lunch break tomorrow from 12:30 to 1:30 eastern in case anyone’s interested. ^^
I for one prefer the posts when your snippest run in a small group to complete an idea. But I’ll take your writing anyway you need/ want to give it to us.
wow that sure was an appetizer!
rrr what a passion
make it goodddd ;)
Bring on the NC-17!!!
Crack. Me. Up. Have to tell you my favorite line: “Did we establish a dress code that I haven’t been made aware of?”
These two display an incomprehensible amount of self-control. Swim, I just don’t see how you’re going to avoid the inevitable…
Ah can’t wait to see Saturday night and yes bring on the NC-17. Ok post soon please, thanks!
At this point in time, aren’t Bette and Tina in their twenties? Much energy and no need for sleep right? LOL.
Having the opportunity to read your work is a blessing. Thank you for considering the feelings of your reading audience.
“NC17, NC17, NC17” I’m just following the lead….and I will personally take more postings over longer chapters. Thank you for the great story.
WooHoo! Oh! huh! LMAO! Oh! Gosh hurry up I can’t WAIT Bring it ON LOL! Thanks!
Excellent as always. I like you to post any time you like and as often as you like. OK that’s a lie. I like you to post every day LOL I like a couple of chappys together to make the whole.
Oh, I’m so looking forward to mid-week appetizer and date night. This snippet allow us to see two people who are so much in love working hard at their relationship even though it feels like they are running an obstacle course. However, it’s nothing that a little planning won’t take care of. That’s just life!!
It’s sad to see that down the road they will let the obstacles take over their lives, whereas once, they were consciously working to get around them. But for now, let’s enjoy the bliss.
JKS, however you serve up these snippets, I will be waiting patiently cuz I know the wait is well worth it. Thanks.
2 MONTHS?!?!..lol
NC-17 NC-17 NC-17!!!!!!!!!!
this story is so sweet and…hot Please continue!
hmmmmmmmmmmm… reading on
JKS…here’s a little Snippet for you. I’ll gladly read this story in whatever format you utilize. Love your writing!!!
NC17, NC17, NC!7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Fins, How frustrating. for both of them. Are people really this busy? If so, I consider myself very lucky that I don’t work in such a high pressure/time demanding field. I think I like the more frequent, shorter chapters…but that is me.
JKS, I love these little “snippets”, whether they are single chapters or go on for a few. This is such a realistic situation for them to be in (unfortunately), and it’s great to see them recognizing that they are at a fork in the road, and trying to take the right path. As much as I would love to have the opportunity to read one of your amazing NC-17 chapters at the conclusion of this period of angst, I certainly understand that life isn’t always conducive to writing those things, and whatever you decide to do will be fine with me. I’ll still be here trying to wait patiently for the next installment. :)
mmmmmmmmmmmm jks very good. readin on
VAN – lets get all chanting NC17, NC17, NC17. do you think jks will take the hint?
“…been since we…had some quality time together.”
“the wheels were turning as to how she might plan a brief rendezvous at the gallery, worthy of being called an appetizer to saturday nights main course.” what a beautiful mind, tina.
“im the woman whose name youre going to screaming this saturday.” hell yeah!
“how did the last two months disappear on us.” aawwwww.
“do you have time?” i do, if tina doesnt.
what a decision. more or longer. thats too much to ask my brain to do this early in the morning. I.love.this.story. and i love how you write it. thanks.
Cannot wait for Tina’s lunch……..
love this snippets…more, short long, just more :)
Almost a quickie…and, being more selfish than Bette…I’d have gone for it. However…here’s to the hoped-for-longie scheduled for the weekend.
Same as Van and Albeez – NC17, NC17, NC17 !!!! Please :o))
I prefer shorter posts closer together and max. 2 too 3 chapters pr. story.
I’m looking forward to the next…
I just adore your writing style, you have one of the finest awareness’ to detail I have ever encountered. You never waste words, every one so finely used in your story. Thank you, … simply wonderful.
My choice, …. post long and often – was that an option ? …
That was great
I very much enjoy these insights that you are providing us. There is a truth that resonates on some level to most I would venture to say.
It’s always frustrating when life intrudes on romance. Thankfully, Tina took the bull by the horns and reinstated ‘date night’. Even better is Bette realizes as well the need to make time for each other. Two months ia a long time, but getting a handle of their lack of quality time together now will help bring them back together. That should help to illustrate just how easily it could get out of hand if they don’t work at it now.
Snippet away…long, short or medium…often or whenever you can…whatever you want to do is fine with me!
wooow..cant wait to see Tinas little surprise over lunch..it will be hot for sure.ok great chapter post soon
