“Mmm, there’s a chevre fondue listed with the appetizers,” Tina said. She then quoted from the menu. “Served with French bread, sun dried tomato compote and balsamic reduction.”
“We’re starting with that,” Bette agreed. “I think the challenge with the entrees is narrowing it down to only one that I want.”
“We might have to come back here, sooner rather than later,” Tina said. “What are you leaning towards for your meal?”
“The duck two ways or the lamb shank,” Bette replied. “Both sound decadent.”
“That’s the two I was trying to decide between,” Tina smiled. “Have the lamb and I’ll have the duck and we can share.”
“So, both rich hearty meals,” Bette flipped to the wine list. “I’m thinking we need a rich hearty red.”
Tina moved to the back of her menu as well.
“What do you think of the 2003 Vina Robles Syrah?” Bette suggested. In the past she would have stated their wine selection, not asked for Tina’s input.
“I’ve never had wine from that vineyard,” Tina replied. “Let’s give it a try.”
Their server approached the table and the evening was well on its way.
**************
Their plates had just been taken away and they were both on their last glass of wine.
“That was fantastic,” Tina exclaimed. She looked at Bette beside her. “Great first date.”
“It’s not over yet,” Bette said, the air of mystery having returned to her plans for the evening.
“Hold still,” Tina reached and brushed Bette’s bottom lip with her thumb. “Your lipstick was a little smudged. I’m not used to seeing you as anything less than perfect.”
“I hardly think you of all people see me as perfect,” Bette replied, reaching across and letting her hand linger on Tina’s forearm.
“Accepting that we’re both flawed might be the realization we need to make some progress,” Tina replied. “Even after everything, I just see the good.”
“There’s a lot of good between us,” Bette said. “Subtle communication, common values…”
“Physical attraction,” Tina offered as she once again placed her hand on Bette’s thigh.
“Do I even have to mention what that does to me?” Bette asked quietly.
“Likely the same thing it does for me,” Tina replied.
“We’re still committed to celibacy?” Bette clarified.
“For a while,” Tina replied. “Rather than depend on that subtle silent communication, I think we have to actually talk.”
“Are you ready for the next part of our date?” Bette asked.
“Ready when you are,” Tina said.
“I’ll go take care of the bill,” Bette stood from the table, and leaned in to confide. “I’m excited for what’s next.”
“I’m always excited for what’s next,” Tina replied.
“And I guess that sums up why we’re both willing to try again,” Bette replied.
Tina watched her departure, and only once Bette turned the corner did she return to her wine. It was already the best date she’d ever had and it wasn’t even over yet.

Very little chance that Tina’s gonna pick up a hot sommelier before dessert I guess, so she might as well stick out and see if Porter’s going to try to get into her panties.

Great chapter. I love the way B&T are getting to know each other again and I hope they talk it out before they get physical. PPS
This is really exciting! You write so well
Damn, we have to wait for part 2 of the date! JKS, sometimes I think you’re I.C. in disguise on this website. Loved this chapter…waiting breathlessly for the next.
Loving this story. Can’t wait for me.
Thanks for the great update…I’m so enjoying the story.
so nice to get on here before I go to bed and find a post from you..thanks! Can’t wait for the date to continue.
Got behind again. I may have to be punished for always being behind in my reading. The last 2 chapters were awesome. I loved how they flowed with ease and a sense of well being.
Thanks, JKS–they are indeed a lovely couple!!
I love how this first date is going and as Bette said to Tina, it ‘s not over yet: Dessert.
Bin941…..oh, such a good list..and the appi’s are to die for…good choice!!!
I love how this story is unfolding.
Made my day, Swimmie. Those two are going to have to work hard at keeping the embers glowing but not igniting too soon.
What a great way to start my day… Thanks Swimmie! I already can’t wait for “what’s next”!
Things are going well so far! Please continue soon!!!
Thank you for this wonderful morning date!
So cute. I wonder how long it took Alice to get Angie to settle down for the night?
Sounding like the perfect date so far. And as much as I love watching these two together, they are going to have to take it a bit slow. But you know they had to get the hot sex out of the way.
Great update JKS. It really sweet, nice first date. I wonder what will happen to end this date…Hmmm..I can imagine..LOL Anyways, thanks for the update!
Best “first” date ever. Loved it, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of the date. thanks!
JKS, I’ve been reading your stuff since you started posting here and am leaving my first comment. You write these two so well – always love your dialogue. Keep the stories coming!
haooy to see that bette is asking tina opinion for a change! can’t wait to see what else is planned…:)
Hey Gumby, I was jumping up and down with joy at another post so soon from your. Just wonderful to read how the gals are putting the past behind them and moving forward. Getting to know each other again so slowly is very seductive and sexy. Will need to wait and see if they can keep their hand off each other. I’m hoping not. Thank you for this delightful drama and making my day a lot brighter. Your Loyal Fan.
Love first dates. They have a long way to go,with hard work they can make it. Talking is such an important part of a relationship thanks
and i’m excited about what’s next too :)
Aww. So far I’m really digging the subtle changes. Bette asked for Tina’s opinion. Tina being more than willing to boost Bette’s self-esteem. That stuff mixed with the old comfortable, knowing, understanding parts of their relationship feels exciting yet familiar. Can’t wait for more.
I am loving the date so far. I am glad Tina brought up the clause to leave the past behind for their first date.
Great update JKS! You should have written the script for the TV show. You are making more sense, with B&T getting to talk to each other. That is the only way to find out what issues drew them apart. Thanks for continuing with this story. We certainly are enjoying it. PPS – Lucero & Marsha – Your fans from Mexico City
Miss Porter is so romantic!! **dreamy sigh*** Can’t wait to read where she takes Tina next. It was too cute that Tina was able to guess where dinner would be after only two clues.
I just love dates…and what a romantic day for a first date…oh where are they off too???
“”Are you ready for the next part of our date?” Bette asked.”Ready when you are,” Tina said” – Me three… ;-)
Whoops Robbeedee, wrong story there! LOL Another great chapter and forward steps are always such a good thing!
JKS, this is so rich it brought me out of retirement and forced a comment. I love what you are doing with this story. It is what I look for when I log on. All the best to you and yours.
i’m excited by their 1st date!!!
That was good!
