She attempted to clear the cobwebs from her jumbled thoughts. What surname had Peggy used to introduce them? She sipped the bottle of juice Bette had handed to her and attempted to re-energize her mind.
“Porter…” Tina said quietly, not realizing that she had spoken her words out loud until Peggy and Bette looked directly at her.
“Yes, Tina… Porter is my last name. While I wish we had met under less dramatic circumstances, it is a pleasure to have your acquaintance…formally. I’ll look forward to working with you during my tenure at The Peabody Foundation,” she smiled in her direction at the conclusion of her comment knowing she had occupied the lovely Blonde’s thoughts.
Tina simply nodded her head before she moved the wet cloth over her face attempting to reduce the heat of the immediate blush rushing to her cheeks. Damn it! Now the woman knows I was thinking about her. Was it possible for the day to get any worse?
The room’s silence was brief.
“Yes, it certainly was a dramatic introduction. For a moment I thought the two of you had met previously… you both looked rather shocked to see one another,” Peggy said innocently, utterly unaware of the interpersonal dynamic existing in the room.
“Well, Peggy to be perfectly honest, Tina looks familiar to me but I can honestly say that we have never been formally introduced…”
Bette’s confidence was growing by the minute…as was her sassiness.
Tina decided she’d heard enough. She removed the cloth from her face, finished off the bottle of juice and opened the water.
The most prudent action at this point was to accept her fate and determine how she was moving past her former attraction to the Brunette. Having the time alone in her car would present some advantages to Tina. She wouldn’t have to hide her feelings from Peggy or follow the dictates of socially accepted office protocols. She would need to make certain that Bette understood their former intimacy was a mistake driven by a general confusion. It would not be repeated in the future.
Tina looked first to Peggy and then to Bette. Once she established eye contact with both of them she expressed her wishes succinctly.

A wonderful confirmation that all good things come to those that wait
I think that Tina is in trouble. I belive it will be good trouble for bot Tina and Bette.
Wow.. A lot of great stories are coming back… It’s so good to see this one return. Thanks for posting!
Good to see you back, thanks for the post. Bette is the boss now huh? Well, we’ll see how long that will last in the bedroom I mean board room. LOL!!
Great to see you and this story back, Eastmorn. I’ve missed reading this story and your take on Tina and her relations with Alphas. :-) I’m so sorry to hear about your animal companion, that’s very sad news indeed. :-( Take care.
Thanks for posting – I had missed this story! Brilliant and can’t wait to see what happens! It’s going to be very interesting. M so sorry to hear about your cat. Hope you’re doing ok.
I’m so glad your story is back, I was really missing it!I’m sorry to hear about your cat. It’s really hard to lose a pet. I had to put my 20 year old to sleep a couple of months ago. It’s like losing a family member. It does get easier as time goes by but there are still times I forget she’s gone and expect to see her coming around the corner.Please don’t keep us in suspense too long with this story. I hope Tina will start to trust Bette so that she can heal from the damage caused by her ex-girlfriend.
Ha! I forgot to mention “cat” in my last comment. It was my cat I had put to sleep…not my daughter…
So sorry to read about your cat, but I’m sure she was happy to have lived with you for 14 years. I’ve missed your story and can’t wait for that car ride and the development of their relationship. Thanks for coming back!
”it is a pleasure to have your acquaintance…formally” – nice one!… hope your writing gives you a bit of distraction from your sadness, E.
Eastmorn, I know how you feel about your cat…I had to put my 16 year old dog down last year and I still miss him so much after all this time. Ilove that you’re back with this story and the time in between hasn’t affected your writing…it’s still as good as ever. So…Bette has her chance now…let’s see what she does with it!
you’re back! and ready to complicate things as much as possible it would seem…Helena’s waiting in the wings…and Bette’s inner Alpha has stepped in. Okay then… bring on the car ride home! (couldn’t be sorrier to hear about your kitten.)
that was a great surprise posting, can’t wait to see what happens when they leave the office!!
That car ride to Tina’s house is sure to be interesting… I wonder if Bette’s regained sass will put Tina off, or will the more vulnerable Bette make a reappearance? I’m glad you’re back. I’m really sorry about your cat though, East. Thanks and more when you can.
oh thanks for bringing this back – i’ve really missed it! So, so, soooo happy Bette is feeling more confident and sassy, i don’t like an insecure Bette. Can’t wait to read what happens in the car now, pps!
Hi- welcome back. I was wondering if you would specify what ASP means, I assume it is an abbreviation? If you mentioned/stated what is means before, forgive me for asking again. Again …. WELCOME BACK!!
thank you for bringing this story back. i am sorry for your loss. this should be interesting especially when helena is due home soon.
I have been esp ing you for the last week so thank you. My best friend’s cat passed away yesterday so we’re very devastated and so I appreciate your pain and struggle. When and if the day ever comes where I loose my own dog I could be unreachable I fear.Live in the moment I say. Thank you for responding to my waves. I feel better now.
Sorry about your cat, Eastmorn. It’s always hard when you lose something you’ve given so much love to. Thank you for posting this. I’ve missed this story!
great updates…i hope Tina recovers soon.Im sure Bette will help in that process.
I absolutely adore this story and feel so privileged to see it back. Tina certainly has her plate full (no pun intended) with Helena’s return imminent and Bette now seemingly in the forefront of her thoughts. Hopefully she can balance her personal/professional life and there will not be any further events that send her into another tailspin with even more disastrous results. I hope someone can help her get back to who she was, physically and mentally, before the horrible Alexandra debacle. I truly think she should consult a psychiatrist so that she can vent and not have to keep this horrible thing inside. At this point, she certainly needs all the help she can get.
I’m very sorry for your loss. When a pet is around for that long they become a part of the family. I wish you all the best.
