This Time Around (2)
“Well, that’s no fun. Why did you ask her out for a drink then,” Alice asked confused.
“I don’t know,” Bette wondered out loud, “She commented on how I used to always ditch them when the cast would go out drinking in those days, and my immediate response was to make it up to her.”
“Make it up to her, huh,” Alice insinuated more with her tone.
Bette laughed, “I’m hanging up. I love you and will let you know how things go later.”
“Ok! Call me as soon as you leave her!” Alice was so excited for the story that was just beginning to unfold.
It was around 5pm when Bette wrapped up with her studio tours for the day. She had been busy with potential clients all afternoon and had not had time to call Tina, but Tina had not left her mind.
She decided to take out the business card Tina had given her this morning. Without thinking twice, she dialed the number.
“Hello this is Tina Kennard speaking.”
“Why hello Ms. Kennard, this is Bette Porter speaking,” Bette laughed at how proper the blond executive had answered her phone.
Tina also laughed, “You are a piece of work. How has your day been?”
“Good. Just wrapped up on some tours and was going to pass by the office to see where some of our projects stand. How is everything with you?” Bette asked back.
“Good. I actually think I’ll be done earlier than I expected.” Tina sounded relieved. Truth was, Tina was looking forward to grabbing a drink that night. She didn’t know if it was because Bette was guaranteed to be good entertainment, or if it had been that long since she had last gone out, but the fact remained, she was excited.
“That is good news. Are you still interested in catching up?” Bette politely asked.
“Yes, absolutely. Did you have anything specific in mind?”
“Well, I haven’t had dinner, and since you’ll be out earlier, how about we grab something to eat and then make our way to a little spot I know in the Village?” Bette had just the place in mind.
“That works. I’ll be out around 7. Would you like me to meet you at your office?
“That would be perfect. I’ll text you the address as soon as we hang up.” Bette confirmed.
Once the call had ended, Bette began to draft a message:
The address is 145 W. 56th St., Suite 250. Looking forward to it.
Not even a minute after having sent it, she received a response:
Great. I’ve been looking forward to it all day :)
It was those little messages that always left Bette wondering. Would any straight girl respond by admitting to having been looking forward to grabbing a drink all day? Was she just looking too deep into a simple conversation? It seemed as though the years had made Bette a little more skeptical of trusting her instinct. With that, she again dismissed the thought, convincing herself the true reason for tonight’s encounter was to start a friendship.

Thanks for the update. Loved it. Looks promising
Great update. Looking forward to see how this develops. PPS.
Is Bette deluding herself? If there is nothing to her “drinks” meet up with Tina, what is there to report to Alice. Don’t read too much into what Tina says Bette, you’re just setting yourself up for failure. Thank you for the awesome post. I’m digging this a lot ✌😉💗💗💗💗💗💗
I’m looking forward to it too!
West 56th St… I love it when Bette and Tina are in NYC. I used to work at W 58th and Broadway. Lots of nice restaurants on 9th, but love that they’re heading downtown to the Village.
I approve :) post soon por favor
Just read all the chapters, really like this story and how everything is just a little bit different. Please continue.
Looking forward to the next chapter.Thank you for the update.PPS
Thank you for another wonderful chapter to this intriguing story. I love the way it is being created. Great development in the relationship between our ladies.
Great update thank you
Thanks for the post. :)
It is really refreshing to see a story where “gay” Bette is not pining after “straight” Tina, at least from the very start. Usually they see each other and then BAM! Bette is chasing her all around like lost puppy. This Bette seems so carefree and quite happy with her life.
This is good
