Expectations
“She’s meeting me here,” Bette said glancing at the door. “She’s just a bit late. Traffic I’m assuming.”
“You asked her to meet you here?” Alice clarified.
“Yeah, you know, casual, minimal expectations,” Bette replied. “But it would be best if you weren’t hanging around when she arrives.”
“I get it,” Alice said, standing from the table. “Are you going to kiss her again?”
“Don’t make me sorry I told you that,” Bette admonished.
“It’s interesting, knowing the progress of a budding relationship,” Alice sipped at her coffee between comments. “Even if she does have a boyfriend.”
“She didn’t seem too concerned about him last week,” Bette said smugly.
“Second thoughts happen,” Alice cautioned. “Maybe she’s late because she changed her mind about meeting you.”
“Doesn’t look like that’s the case this time,” Bette said quietly.
Alice spotted Tina as Bette finished her sentence.
“And…that’s my cue,” Alice said. She threw one more comment over her shoulder. “Good luck.”
Tina was glancing around the Planet, obviously looking for where Bette was sitting. Bette stood and waved to catch her attention. Tina smiled as soon as she caught her eye and began to make her way over.
Bette pulled a chair out for Tina in order to avoid what could have been an awkward greeting. Should she hug her hello? She really wasn’t sure. Best to avoid the situation and simply be polite by offering her a chair.
Tina nonchalantly placed her hand over Bette’s as it still rested on the back of the chair and offered a light squeeze.
“Thanks,” she said. “Have you been waiting long?”
“No, not at all,” Bette lied.
“I’ve never been here before,” Tina said as she looked around, soaking up the atmosphere. “And a patio too, that’s great that it’s in the back away from traffic.”
“Would you rather sit out there?” Bette asked.
“This is fine,” Tina smiled. “If not for the suit I might.”
“How was work today?” Bette asked.
“Calm for a change,” Tina replied. She pointed at the glass of ice water with a questioning look.
“Yes it’s for you,” Bette said. “I wasn’t sure what you might want, so I started with water.”
Tina took a drink and replaced the glass on the table’s surface.

This is an unexpected surprise! More? Uh…yeah!
I was jusy rereading some of your earlier posts earlier and then I was happy to see your update. Like this begining. I will be looking forward to your next update.
You could type the phone book and it would be alright with me. This is fresh. Let the “games” (ahem) begin! No, it didn’t seem like games, it seemed quite sincere. Yes, continue!
I’m your fan but this time I didn’t even tried to read this one. I really don’t like this font!!! >=/ please try and change it next time???
the font went a lil weird with the phone call part.just about could make out wat was said …cool letsc wat happens
FYI I posted using the same font I always do, using my workhorse of a laptop – I’m not sure why it’s reading differently for people, but I can’t do anything to fix something that is, according to what I have to go on, not broken…sorry!
as with everything that you write- i loved this and am looking forward to more!
Yay, a new beginning for you. Kinda brought me out of retirement from reading/commenting on stories. Looking forward to more.
Excellent start…I’ll be following this one Swimmie!
A new post from you is a great beginning IMO.

I am so glad you decided to write another story! I am still re-reading the ones you already posted. I just finished reading It All Started With A Phone Call and now I am starting with the sequel…Snippets of Bliss…again…I just love how you write Tina and Bette. You capture all the love and the angst and every little bit of detail so well it’s like your stories take up where the series ends and the story lines are amazing…sorry for gushing….I just love the writing. Thanks so much for putting your stories out there. Okay, I’m shutting up now…LOL
This indeed was a wonderful surprise.Please continue I love how you write beginnings.
You need not ask if anybody is interested in another beginning. I am always a sucker for one and coming from you… F%^& YEAH!
How exciting! A new posting from JKS always makes my day. I’m anxious to read more.
HEY JKS, Firstly it is great to have you backl and posting a new brilliant beginning. Secondly, I think this is an area missed from Bette and Tina’s story; just how did they moved forward from the intensity of their kiss. I can’t wait to read more of this dramatic tale. You rock and I know this will be a fabulous ride. Much gratitude from Your Loyal Fan.
great beginning swimmie!!
Swimmie!!!! You’re back!!!! Yippee!!!!I’m glad you’ve got Tina taking an active role in the begining of their relationship. Nice to see both our girls pursued by one another.
I love B&T beginnings, especially if they come from you.
Swimmie…I love anything you post! Glad you are back. Please continue this one and if you have another one to post..bring it on too. : )
You can thread gold through pros when you connect to your subjects but its been a little while since you last did so ? Let go, ink your pen with the colours of your mind and paint us a moment that stands still time.
YES!YES! another beginning from one of my favorite authors…what a wonderful morning it is now…..btw, did you post from iPhone or something? on my computer it looks a little weird, with Russian letters instead of ” and ‘ LOL (maybe it’s just me)
”depends on whether anyone is interested in reading another “beginning” story.” – sure, but I’m must add that I’m finding your fonts hard to read on my laptop :-/
I’m a sucker for TiBette fan fics and and a certified sucker of your TiBette stories because you write them so well. I’ll never get tired of any TiBette beginning especially if you’re the one writing it. So thank you for this new beginning and by all means, please continue!!! :>
Great to see a new story from you, JKS! Can’t wait to see how this beginning unfolds.
Why of course you should continue this story for as long as you can ! This is a great great start, JKS ! Very exciting ! Can’t wait for more ! And btw, welcome back ! I hope you’re enjoying the summer too.
Yea I’m glad you are continuing this seems like it is going to be a great ride.
so does this mean summer vacation is over and you will have more chapters for us? As always, it was a treat. I look forward to more when time permits.
