The Space Between–Tina’s Earworm–Chapter 1
Bette shook her head. “Fuck.”
She had never imagined that she would run into Alice. Bette was almost certain that Alice did not read books, even though she was purportedly a journalist. Bette hurriedly shoved the book she had been buying into an empty spot on the shelf and she waited for Alice’s arrival.
A few seconds later, Bette saw Alice bounding two steps at a time downward on the down escalator. When she arrived at the bottom, Alice hurried in short quick steps to where Bette stood waiting for her friend’s appearance.
“Hey, Bette.” Alice threw her arms around Bette and hugged her.
Bette hugged back, but extricated herself. “Happy to see you, too, Alice, but we saw each other just last weekend.”
“I know, but I am surprised to see you here. What are you doing?”
“Book shopping.”
“Um, this is a chain, Bette. You decry the demise of the independent bookshop.”
“The local shop was closed.”
Alice looked at the section in which Bette was standing. “Planning a trip?”
“Alice, why are you here?”
“Hey, I can read, too.”
“Of course you can, but you are a bit over-dressed for book-shopping.”
“I’m overdressed?” Alice asked as she looked down at herself.
Bette backtracked and soothed, “No, no, just a little more dressed than I would have expected for a book buying trip. You look very nice.”
“Nice?”
“You’re right. Too generic. You look very attractive.”
“Really?”
“Really,” Bette reassured her close friend. “Am I correct?”
“Yeah. I’m here for the book reading.”
“What’s the book?”
“You probably looked right past the display at the entrance. It’s a home renovation book.’”
“Are you buying a home?”
“Someday.”
Bette arched a skeptical eyebrow at Alice, indicating that her friend should try a better explanation.
‘Alright. I’m here to scope out the crowd. Look for a love connection. With that subject, the crowd should be filled with brawny guys and cutes butches It’s gonna be a smorgasbord.”
“Alice, you of all people should know better than to stereotype,” Bette chided. She smiled quickly, “But it sounds like an embarrassment of riches for you.”

Delightful! I loved it, loved the interaction between Bette & Alice and Tina & Bronwyn. I hope there’s more soon, cos I’m really looking forward to it. Thanks!
“I am now a late-blooming baseball fan. I am practicing how to steal second base. Affectionately, Bette.”That was deliciously sexy, it made me shudder. PPS
I really enjoyed this chapter. Tina’s nervousness around Bette is sweet and Bette’s willingness to take it slow shows Tina means more to her than just a conquest. Keep it coming.
How cute was that, I liked the start very much and hope to see more soon.
OMG, Tina will need to get rid of Eric. A lot of people would love to teach Bette the rules of baseball, Hit a double and you’re on second. Love this PPS thanks

Loved it from start to finish! Looking forward to second base.
What happened between The Kiss at the Porter gallery and the Ilene’s disaster of breaking Bette and Tina up? Oh yeah, the good years! Thank you for giving us a glimpse at those good times.

“I am now a late-blooming baseball fan. I am practicing how to steal second base.” LMAO at Bette trying to “steal second base”… and the heart on the i was so cute… please keep going, it’s nice and funny :-))
Was the bear a Cub and if so maybe one of the Chicago Cubs players can teach Bette how to steal not only second but hit that home run a lot sooner.
