The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 47
Bette smiled to herself when they came upon three empty seats. The twosome would get at least a few more moments to calm their rapid heartbeats and wipe the nervousness from their fear-laced gazes.
Damon pulled out her chair and seconds later, took a seat beside her, sliding his long legs underneath the white tablecloth. The couple exhaled in union and both sets of eyes roamed the upscale dining room. There were only a few unattended tables and congenial, evening banter filled the air. Expensive suits, French perfumes and plastic smiles were plentiful. Their company laughed too heartily, their amusement enhanced by too many bottles of overpriced wines and cognacs.
Damon rubbed his palms on his suit pants and adjusted his silk, navy blue necktie.
“So, we got a few more minutes”, he said.
Bette nodded and replied, “Yes, we did. We got lucky. He’s never late.”
Damon glanced down at Bette’s jumping right leg. She hadn’t even noticed she was bouncing it.
“You okay?”, he asked.
The dark-haired beauty looked up, met the concern in his warm, brown eyes, and stopped the motion of her right leg. “Sorry. I guess I’m a little nervous.”
He smiled softly, “I never thought I would see a nervous Bette Porter.”
Bette swallowed thickly. “Doesn’t happen too often.”
“You gotta relax, B. You gotta just chill out.”
Bette exhaled a long, deep breath and nodded to herself, attempting to calm her nerves. “I know. I know. You’re right. We’ll be fine.”
The words were barely out of her mouth when she spotted her father’s rigid frame headed in their direction. She gritted her teeth and felt her stomach churn before whispering, “Here he comes.”
The dynamic duo stood to meet Melvin Porter. The older man embraced his youngest child before shaking Damon’s hand and taking the only remaining seat.
As Melvin spread the cloth napkin out on his lap, his eyes found those of his daughter’s athletic faux-beau.
“Mr. Lawrence. It’s nice to finally make your acquaintance.”, he said.
Damon smiled and held Melvin’s gaze. “Likewise. Bette talks about you all the time.”

This story never gets boring.I can see there being fireworks when B&T come out to their parents.post soon
Poor Bette’s a nervous wreck. Glad that Damon can hold his own with Melvin, but I hope he does it in a way that impresses him instead of offends him. Soo glad that Tina shared her woes with Bette. I hope it made her feel at least a little bit better. Nice to see you, MTS!!
