“We’ll both be at the Planet for the fundraiser on Thursday,” Tina replied. “Did you have another idea in mind?”
“What I mean is…” Bette sought to clarify. “I was hoping that one of us could arrange a babysitter and that you would let me take you out for dinner.”
“You mean…on a date?”
“Yeah,” Bette replied. “On a date.”
“Bette what’s going on?” Tina asked.
“You’re available to go out with me, right?” Bette asked.
“Of course. I’ll always make time for you. You know that,” Tina replied.
Bette sighed. She wasn’t sure she was getting her point across.
“I mean, as much as I want to come over there right now and make love to you, I thought it might be nice to start with getting to know each other again,” Bette said. “Getting to know how we’ve both changed. For the better.”
“Oh.”
“So if we start from scratch, maybe we won’t be weighed down with the history that we have together. It would be as though it was our first date again,” Bette concluded her explanation.
Tina was wary. She found herself being distracted by Bette’s assertion that she wanted to make love to her. The idea of starting over was an intriguing one, and clearly though they had an intense physical connection, it had never solved any of their problems in the past.
“I think that’s a good idea,” Tina replied cautiously.
“It would be like when we were first going out,” Bette had fond memories of that time. “It took a while before you felt comfortable getting physically involved with me.”
“But this time, it wouldn’t be the newness of my being with a woman that keeps us from getting involved physically,” Tina said. “The delay would represent an opportunity to see if the changes we’ve gone through personally mean we can be together as a couple.”
“Exactly!” Bette knew Tina understood what the intention of her proposal was. “How’s Tuesday night for you?”
“Actually, I just had a meeting cancelled for Tuesday night, so I know it’s free,” Tina replied.
“Why don’t you let me take care of the plans for the evening, and we can both work on finding childcare?” Bette suggested.
“Fancy or casual?” Tina wanted some clue of how to dress for the night.
“More than jeans, less than a gown,” Bette offered. “Leave it to me, I’ll make sure we have everything we need.”
“Okay, but on the condition that for our second date, I get to do all the planning,” Tina replied. She wasn’t going to let Bette assert her controlling nature from the start this time as she had done in the past. It had been a mistake she long regretted.
“Fair enough,” Bette replied, pleased at the assumption there would be a second date. “I’ll pick you up at seven, but we’ll keep in contact about who’s taking care of Angelica.”
“I’m already looking forward to it,” Tina replied.
“Enjoy the Sunday,” Bette said. “Hug my Angel for me.”
“By the way…” Tina proffered an olive branch in return for Bette’s not having asked something she clearly wanted to know. “I told Brenda when she dropped me off last night that I didn’t think it was fair to see her any longer.”
“So, the ice pick between my eyes from excessive alcohol consumption is entirely the fault of my own imagination?” Bette asked.
“You always have had an active imagination,” Tina laughed. “I’m sorry you’re paying the price today.”
“Small price to pay for progress,” Bette replied. “But from now on, there will be no more assumptions. Just a little more adult communication.”
“I’ll see you Tuesday,” Tina said.
“Bye for now.”
They hung up their respective phones and simultaneously smiled at the prospect of experiencing a first date with someone they each had such love for.

So good. Hope you will see tonight’s episode 6 just for some more inspiration. PPS.
Great!Great!Great!
Bette’s not totally giving up on the manipulative…not with the “make love” comment. Still, I’m eager to see how it goes for them. Tina must be eager, also, since she’s already agreed to a second date.
Can’t wait for their date.
I’m smiling at the prospect of a first date between these two, thanks, Fins!!!
Got love kit and her tell it like is!!Bette can’t always have control! please don’t let tina fall back on the porter spell. great update! :)
Wow. I’m totally in LOVE with the way you wrote this.. I love Kit, love Bette’s approach, love that Tina threw her a bone of honesty for a reward, and just loved the anticipation of them going slowly but doing so without all the BS about where they stand. This is shaping up to be one of my favorite stories you have written.. and that is saying a lot.
Gaaaaw…Great imagery, swim…the ‘strip of sunlight’… the ice pick between the eyeballs … Lovin’ the story!
WOW ! Loved loved loved this chapter ! And I enjoyed the old fashioned “tone” that Bette chose to make the phone call immensely ! It was as endearing and cute as it was unexpected and funny. Thre was no way Tina could resist that ! I think I myself had forgotten how charming Bette could be. Great job, JKS !! This is wonderful ! I’m really loving this story.
i had smile on my face the whole time i was reading it
I’d love to see that happen in the show… Would be very exciting to see them start to date again! So it’s great that you’re giving us a version of it. Thanks!
Dawwww :)
Just love the story….left me smiling and wanting more. Thanks and please post soon.
bring on the date…excellent!
Patiently waiting on the date!!! PPS
I can’t wait for their lil date that they’ll have together. It was nice how Brenda let Tina down easily in the last chapter. So thanks for the update… : )
“So, the ice pick between my eyes from excessive alcohol consumption is entirely the fault of my own imagination?” – cute!
i dunno why the words ice pick remind me of Sharon Stone.. interesting.. ok back to the story.. lovely.. finally some talk.. cant wait for the date.. thanks JKS :-)
Your story is how I envisioned Bette and Tina slowly reconnecting. Of course it seems ic has a different view of that. I love how they are flirting without actually flirting. Thank you for the post.
JKS, this story is so great. Love it! The ice pick will teach Bette to stop jumping to conclusions, right ? Nahhhh…..she’s too damn stubborn. PS.
Another fabulous update to this wonderful story. I love how you write conversation between them, so easy, so fluid and humorous. I can’t wait until you post the next one!
Swimmie, it’s wonderful, loved this chapter. First, the show has made me happy and now your story is the icing on the cake for me tonight. Keep up the good work. Glad you posted tonight, hope you can post again very soon.
just seeing your name fills me with the knowledge of happiness. your just so good. i love this dating and being adult thingy. thx
It is nice being back on the site and reading…seeing my buddy albeez leaving her messages. I am finally caught up with everything you wrote the past9 months…..you are amazing and I can’t wait for the next chapter.
purrfect!!! that was just perfectly told…loved Kit chewing little sista into sensible behaviour…loved her telephone manner…pps cuz i wanna see the date…
Hey JKS, I have just caught up on this marvelous melodrama. You always astound me with the truth and honest your stories. Bette and Tina are now ready and able to rediscover each other without falling into the traps from the past. I do believe that they have both grown in their time apart. Now is the time for them to put everything on the line for their love. The connection between them is infinite but it still needs to be cherished and loved. I so wnat these gals to rekindle their relationship; move forward stronger and learn from the past; live and love in the present. More please as your amazing adventures make me feel so much joy and happiness. Many, many thanks for continuing this delightful drama. Your Loyal Fan.
the “ice pick” may be deserved due to bette’s assumptions, but as you had tina state, she knew what kind of impression bette was given with t leaving w/ brenda….it looks like you’re having the ladies go in the direction so many of us have longed for – for them to actually talk & say what’s on their minds, what they want & taking it slow, one day at a time!! loved bette’s manner of asking for a “first date” as it is b&t’s reintroduction to each other ;)
awww… so cute… pls post soon. cant wait for the ride.
You gotta love Kit! I am glad Bette was smacked upside the head (so to speak) and get her butt in gear to show and tell Tina what she wanted. I look forward to seeing how their first date goes.
As usual Swimmie… great post. Loving your story more and more! Are you writing the next chapter already? =)
This is so nice!
