This Time Around (3)
The ride down to the first floor was silent, as both reflected on the same questions. It was nice, they both thought, to be able to be in an elevator, completely quiet, and still feel comfortable.
“You know, there aren’t many people I would ride with on an elevator and not say a word to,” Bette confessed.
“You read my mind. It’s always so awkward, and you feel as though you have to make conversation to lighten the tension, but then that just makes it even more awkward,” Tina admitted.
“I think that deserves another tip of the glass,” Bette smiled.
“That smile,” Tina thought to herself. She really was beautiful.
Tina returned the smile, “A tip of the glass indeed.”
Once dinner had ended, and a bottle of wine had disappeared and another one opened, the two women could not help but laugh continuously at each other’s horror stories when dealing with actors and artists.
“So she thought because you had given her your business card you wanted to sleep with her?” Tina could barely get the words out she was laughing so hard.
“Not only did she build that up in her mind, but she started calling my office and leaving me very explicit voicemails! And I don’t even check my voicemail, my assistant does! So for a week I was getting transcribed emails from Emily, my assistant, that literally just said, ‘Oh, baby, I’ve missed you, oh, oh. Call me back to see how this ends.’ It was literally the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever had to deal with. Everyone around the office would call me ‘baby’ in a sultry voice, but I could not do a single thing about it because her father was our biggest client.”’
The evening was everything Tina had hoped for, and it wasn’t even over yet. She could not remember the last time she had laughed this much or enjoyed herself this much over the course of a meal.
“Oh, Bette. You really are too much,” Tina wiped a tear from all the laughter. “I’m so glad we did this.”
“Well, it’s not over yet, so don’t get all emotional on me,” Bette said decidedly, picking up the tab and signing the papers.

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.
I love this dance, this push and pull. Please post again soon.
