This Time Around (3)
Bette looked ahead and could not help but look Tina up and down. She was wearing a simple black winter dress with dark stockings and boots, but every line of her body was clearly defined. Bette cleared her throat, “Ah, yea, yes, just a couple of minutes I promise.”
Tina smiled inwardly. She was fairly certain Bette had just checked her out and had clearly been caught. Tina realized she had never witnessed Bette being anything but charming and humorous. This reaction, however, and Bette’s response was anything but humorous.
“There are some drinks on that shelf if you’d like to pour us something before we head out,” Bette said looking at the shelf instead of Tina. She was still trying to figure out how she was going to go all night without eyeing Tina the way she just had, or worse, making Tina feel uncomfortable. “Maybe this wasn’t such a good idea,” Bette thought to herself.
“Sounds good. What would you like?” Tina asked as she got up and walked across the room.
“Anything with a splash of seltzer is fine,” Bette answered.
Tina poured the two of them a glass of vodka with a splash of seltzer. She walked over to Bette’s desk and reached over to hand her the glass.
“To an interesting morning,” Tina raised her glass.
Bette looked at Tina, “To an even more interesting night.”
They brought their glasses together and each took a sip of their drink.
Tina took a seat back on the couch and gave Bette the time she needed to finish going over the papers that were on her desk. They engaged in light conversation, mostly about Bette’s new company and some of the projects Tina was managing. It was a brief catch-up that seemed necessary.
“All done,” Bette said as she added the last folder she had onto a pile. “Let’s get out of here.”
“Lets,” was all that Tina replied.
As they both started to bundle up for the cold New York City streets, Tina asked, “So where are we going for dinner?”
“Well, there are a lot of options around here, but I was thinking this restaurant on the corner of 58th and 9th. It’s called whym. They just changed their menu for the season, so I think it’ll be something new for the two of us. Unless you had it for lunch today,” Bette smiled.

Going round and round. I like your writing style and dialogue between the characters. Nicely done!
thanks for another wonderful chapter. If only humans would learn to communicate with each other using their words. Why is that so hard. Open mouth verbalize thoughts. They waste SO much time assuming. Dumass! Sheesh!
Open dialogue and verbal communications are easier said then done. How many times have we gone round and round and imagined things and felt things and NOT expressed them? I’m guilty. Onward to the next chapter. Maybe Bette will run into Tina during a movie shoot or maybe Tina will call. So many possibilities. Thanks for the chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
Nice chapter, thank you.
They need to communicate not talk in circles
Interesting… there’s a lot of hinting, but just as much if not more holding back. Thanks for the post. :)
Wait, so Bette got cold feet and then invited Peter to sit with them? Yeah, Bette blew it. Already communication sucks, so the relationship forecast doesn’t look good either. Not unless Bette gets her head out of her ass, and her act together. Awesome update ✊😚💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 thank you!
Oh would these two just talk to each other and tell whats on their minds. I guess we need a little angst before they find out how each other feels. Great update. Thanks.
