Tina nodded. “Yeah.”
“What are you doing here for the summer? I thought you were going to hang back home for the summer. I had heard you were in town,” he said.
“I was. But just for a week. I’ve got an internship here, too,” she replied, her eyes darting between Eric and the doorway, trying to figure out what she could say to end this conversation as quickly as possible.
She was magnanimously embarrassed. Not only had she run into her ex-boyfriend and father of her almost-unborn child. The young coed had encountered Eric as she stood in her lazy-day sweats, with her unkempt locks hanging out of her ponytail holder, and without properly bathing or primping for the day. All she wanted to do was go hide out in her apartment and try to digest this surprise encounter.
But Eric wasn’t ready to end their conversation. Her saw past Tina’s lackluster appearance and into the warm heart and soft smile that had captivated him throughout high school. He wanted to prolong their interaction and find out just what had happened to the former love of his life.
“Where are you working? What are you doing?” he asked, his eyes bright with interest.
“I’m uh…I’m working for Alphaville. It’s a movie studio. I have like 8 job functions but I enjoy it.”
Tina didn’t think it was possible for Eric’s eyes to get any wider, but they did. “That’s awesome. Congrats.”
The blonde shifted uncomfortably and replied, “Thanks.”
“Are you….are you busy tonight? You think maybe we could get together and talk? Hang out?” he asked.
Again, Tina pulled errant strands of hair behind her crimson right ear as she replied, “I…I don’t know. I have plans with my roommates.”
“Oh. Well…hey I know where you live, right? Which apartment are you in?”
Without thinking, she told him her apartment number before mumbling an excuse for a speedy getaway and padding back to her summer abode.
Bette threw Richard a tired, lopsided grin as she met his boxed blue eyes. He was standing outside of the museum, his back leaning against the wall.
Her heels clicked against the cement as she made her way over to her only friend in the city. “What are you doing here?” she asked.

thx so much for the update. i hate missing people.
OMG I LOVE THIS STORY!!! So sweet and loving!! So full of emotion. I can’t wait until they are face to face, but then again I LOVED the phone call.. on third thought I’m sure there is a flight leaving sooner than 2 weeks!! PPS
I just want Eric gone..please? Can’t wait for Bette to get to LA
This chapter is the first one I read of this story, and now I am asking myself why didn’t I read it any sooner?? it’s amazing, these emotions that you project are breath taking, wow, I really can’t wait to read the next one. Great job M.T.S.
I’m glad they reconnected. Wonderful chapter! I like their phone convo. I was LOL at Bette’s hints of phone sex and Tina shutting her down. You’ve shown so well the dynamics of their relationship. This is such a sweet chapter. PPS!!!
is it two weeks yet?? pps:)
This post was so sweet,the David and Bette hug, Bette getting time off to go see Tina, their sweet phone conversation, and Tina’s protectiveness. You have such a way with words!!! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, I’d rather have a thousand words from you than any picture. Your Loyal Fan
I sure hope that they will survive. They belong together. I also hope that at some point Tina will not have to worry about others finding out about her love for Bette.
That was sweet of B&T, and glad they talk and can’t wait to see they see each other again in 2 weeks. Hope you will make eric gone soon, don’t like to see him here and bother B&T. Please post more, thanks!
Dearest MTS, if there was one word to describe this update of yours, we would say: “enchanting”. The interaction between Bette and her mom, plus David, was a relief. It seems Bette is finally accepting him as her mom’s partner. B&T’s phone conversation was endearing. The intensity of their feelings just jump at your face and you can’t help but smile wide and give a deep sigh of contentment. This update was amazing MTS! We loved it! As for Eric, Jeeezz! Could you keep him in check, so as not to bother T, while Bette is not near? We would hate that he feels entitled to go and see his ex g/f and invite her to dinner, for good old times sake, because, as far as we can see, he would like to ask T to be with him again. Plus, while Tina does not acknowledge her relationship with Bette, Eric will not give up. Hmmm Interesting turn of events. Thanks for sharing this fantastic story with us. You know we love it, dearly. PPS Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties) P.S. Thanks for your beautiful shoutout. You made our hearts rejoiced.
HEY MTS, And that is exactly what I am “more than safitised” with this latest adventure in the lives of Baby B and T. Good to know that Bette is begginning to open up to her mom and step-father. The little hug for David was such a sweet sign that Bette is slowly letting her guard down. Yes, this is mainly due to Tina’s influence on her life. And Tina, was shocked and stunned to catch up with Eric once more. There was a lot of hurt there from the past and her fears over being outed are real if a little exaggerated. Tina needs to sort things out with Eric. OK, it seems like Eric is ready to try again and Tina needs to set him straight on her lack of availability. Good to have Tina trust Bette with her encounter with Eric. It is this level of openness between these gals that will see them through the toughest of times. Communication is key particularly when they are 3000 miles apart. There was geniune love and understanding throughout their phone call as they both managed to update each other on the recent events that surround them. Wonderful to read that Bette is planning a visit; Tina get here ASAP was adorable. I do hope that Bette can make the journey sooner rather than later. Tina was so precious in protecting her lover and know that she wasn’t taking care of herself. The whole go get washed and fed and i’ll be here waiting for you was so sentimental. The their final phone call was awesome. Typical of Bette, the hound dog, to want some phone sex and Tina to offer love and comfort in its place. These gals need to be the in the same time zone to truely in their carnal exploits. I can wait. MTS, you just wirte it as it is and as it should be. Thank you so much for sharing this terrific tale. I just adore everything that you write. There is so much reasonance from your words. A very grateful and Loyal Fan.
well sweet as that was I think T was a trifle mean then when Bette was horny…2 weeks is a long time away!!!!! Bring it on!!! Thx for the shout out & the quick turnaround with this chappy. Love ’em. Send Eric on some important research out of town.
can’t u please get rid of eric???? that phone call was so adorable… :)PPS
awwwww…sooo sweet
Just hope that Eric leaves Tina alone If not Bette might hurt his male ego.
A really great chapter. I promise to try and get writing more on my story now! I love the way you’re developing the characters in this story, and can’t wait for them to finally be reunited!
Wow, two posts in one month. Awesome! Now this is the Baby Bette and Tiny Tina that I know and have come to love. When they are cocooned in their room, in their own little world, one can really sense the intensity, depth and purity of their love for one another. It’s when they step out into the world as individuals that doubt and trials start creeping in. But it’s also impossible for them to be together all the time. I really hope their love will see them through. But again, they have a long way to go. They’re still months away from their sophomore year! Oh dear. Thank you, thank you MTS for a this sweet, enjoyable chapter! Pls post again whenever you can! :>
