“Wow, what a difference a day makes, huh?”
Bette chuckled. “Yeah”
Tina was looking in the fridge.
“Okay its 12:15 so anything is fair game as far as food goes. We have an incredible looking chocolate cake, lots of fruit, eggs, pancakes, waffles, leftover biscuits and gravy, turkey and ham for sandwiches…so what’ll it be.”
Bette smiled at Tina. “Well it’s obvious to me that you are dying to dig into that chocolate cake so why don’t we start there. We can curl up on the couch with two forks. How does that sound?”
Tina gave Bette a mischievous grin. “Really?”
“Yeah, why not? We’ll eat like humans later.”
Tina grabbed the cake box and two forks and ran to the couch. Bette grabbed their coffee mugs and followed closely behind.
They snuggled on the couch, enjoyed sharing the cake and talking about everything and nothing.
After the ladies had had their fill of cake Tina turned to Bette,
“Bette, can I ask you something?”
“Tina, anything…”
“Well, do you think it’ll be weird at work tomorrow?”
Bette thought for a moment before she spoke.
“Tina, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that the thought has crossed my mind. I’ve always been careful to maintain my professional personae. I’ve rarely mixed business with pleasure and certainly never as close to home as this. I’m not really sure what to say. I’m not particularly thrilled about hiding our relationship. Maybe I should call my lawyer and get his advice.”
Tina looked away and responded quietly.
“Well if you think that’s for the best.”
“T, what’s wrong. Did I upset you or offend you in some way?”
“No, it’s just…you know no matter what happens with us…I’d never try to hurt you in any way.”
Bette reached in and pulled Tina in for a warm hug.
“Oh Baby, I am so sorry, that is so not what I was inferring. I swear. I just would really like to announce our relationship from the rooftop and I don’t want to screw anything up. I swear I was thinking about how it would appear to other’s… James, the artists, the public, and frankly, I don’t want to put you in any sort of uncomfortable situation. I just thought my lawyer might be able to shed some light on how to do this, you know, the right way. Please Tina, don’t be offended. Believe me I trust you more than I have ever trusted anyone. I swear.”
Bette looked eagerly at Tina for her response. Tina reached and grabbed Bette’s head and pulled her in for a deep kiss.
“Porter, you are just too….ah….too. Thank you.”
They lay in each other’s arms and then Tina spoke. So I guess until we figure this out, tomorrow we go undercover. That might be kind of hard. What do you think?”
Bette chuckled. “No harder than trying not to grab you and kiss you for the past 3 weeks.’
Tina playfully tapped Bette’s arm and spoke.
“Okay, that’s decided. What do you want to do until we hit reality tomorrow? Can you stay?”
Bette smiled slyly at Tina and arched her eyebrow.
“Well Ms. Kinnard that would depend on what you mean by stay. Do you mean stay and have a proper lunch? Do you mean stay and go for a run? Do you mean stay and have dinner? Or could you possibly mean stay and um….”
Tina grabbed Bette and pulled her into a deep kiss and then whispered in Tina’s ear.
“Baby, I meant stay.”
Bette grabbed Tina and returned the kiss. When they pulled away from each other and looked into each other’s eyes Bette spoke quietly.
“T, how’s this for a plan, why don’t we get you all set here, you could pack a bag and we’ll take both cars, go to my house, spend the day, maybe even see if the girls can meet us for dinner at the Planet and then um you can stay over with me and then we can both drive our own cars to work tomorrow. What do you think?”
Tina beamed at Bette.
“I think that sounds like a brilliant plan.”

I love this story and am so glad B&T finally got together. I hope Tina’s daughter takes the news well. PPS
I think that sounds like a brilliant plan, too. I am not into chocolate, but I’d bypass that little discretion and eat that chocolate cake with Tina or anything else she’d want. Great post. Come back again soon.
What an awesome update. Love it this story and love that they both finally got together. Thank you :)
Can I just say – WOW!!!!!!! I’ve just finished reading your entire fic for the first time, and it was just UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! You are so talented, your writing is amazing!!! And the story was so beautiful, romantic, interesting, and original!!!!! Thank you so so much for writing!!!! I had a great time (hours!) reading it!!! Loooooooved it! PPS!!
I like their plan. I am a little nervous about what may have to happen so that Bette and Tina can continue with their love. Tina really does love her job and Bette really needs her to be apart of her staff. Hope that they can work out that particular issue.
yea, and chocolate cake..mmmm
:) Just enjoying every word. PPS
Yes stay Bette. I did feel the little moment of awkwardness at the mention of a lawyer for the work situation. Oh well, quickies in the copy room, Yay! Thanks for the post and shout out, not necessary but appreciated.
I don’t think it is against the lw to date in the work place, isn’t it? May be it is about princiles and codes of conduct but they are both willing to date each other so I cn’t see the problem lol they are not at school and not carrying on a relationship between teacher and student so please tina don’t worry, Bette will take care of it. The only problem will be Tina situation as she is still married.I love seeing them caring for each other and making sure to not hurt the other.soooo cute. Stilhave to tell Ellie ho lol. PPVS
Loving and sweet chapter, love this story. It is understanding how they both feel not wanting to do anything that would hurt their new love. Thanks for posting.

Ack, Bette mentioned the “L” word, and so soon! Pity it was the wrong one. ;) Bette, unless you want to see that lawyer about hurrying up Tina’s impending divorce… tut tut. I can understand her not knowing how to proceed, but as she can see, a bit of honesty between them will go a long way. These two are so freakin cute, though. Hope to see more soon. Thanks D&A! :)
When I saw the title of the story (Uh Oh) you had me worried….I thought Tina’s daughter was going to make a surprise visit! I do hope Tina tells her about Bette soon and I hope her daughter is supportive. These two are just so adorable together! Thanks for the update :)
Glad to see these two finally together. You have them so cute. This is new to both of them so when does the drama start?
Wonderful, soothing salve to a hectic day. I look forward to your story. You really have an ability to bring out the characters and make me feel the story. Please continue. I want to find out what happens with their work relationship.
Great, wonderful, excellent update! I love this story! PPS
I am so loving this story!!! B&T will get the work issue figured out, but with Tina still married it might to a little while. Thank you PPVS
I just love this story! PPS!!
