This Time Around (3)
“Let’s go. I have a place in mind downtown,” Bette confirmed.
Tina was able to hail a cab right as they walked out of the door.
“Wow. That was impressive,” Bette said, truly impressed.
“Yea, what can I say,” Tina mimicked Bette’s cocky attitude, to which Bette laughed.
Once in the cab, they couldn’t help but sit as close as possible to try and warm each other up.
“It’s fucking freezing!” Bette finally let out.
Tina couldn’t help but let out a loud laugh. “It really is,” she returned.
A short ride down seventh avenue and they were at their destination. Bette had directed them to a small Spanish Tapas wine bar in the Village/Soho area known for its Flamenco dancing and private seating sections. It was sure to impress, and unlikely to be stumbled upon, which is what made Bette so sure it was the perfect place.
Once they were seated, Tina commented, “This place is amazing. How did you find it?”
“I was in the mood to see some live Flamenco one weekend and an artist of mine suggested I come here. She dances on certain days,” Bette responded. “It’s like a little gold mine. I tend to not share it with many people.”
“Well, I’m glad you decided to share it with me,” Tina looked into Bette’s eyes as she said it.
The tension was certainly building between the two, and the wine that continued to flow was not helping. “Tip of the glass to that?” Bette suggested. It had become the signature line of the evening, being used whenever they agreed on something, tip of their glass and a sip of their wine. It likely explained how they had drank almost two full bottles by now.
As the night continued, a gentleman walked up to the booth the two women shared. They were very close and both had their elbows on the table and their heads leaned against them. They spoke seriously and had very deep gazes into one another’s eyes.
“Bette?”
Distracted, Bette turned around, “Peter! Hi. How’s it going. Figures you’d be here.” Peter was a business partner of Bette’s at the firm. He had just recently endured a rough break-up and was trying to get back out into the dating world.

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.
