“I need a cheeseburger.”
Bronwyn recognized the voice at the other end of the phone but could not believe what she had heard. “You’re kidding, right.”
“No, I must have a cheeseburger. Meet me in the parking lot in front my car. No, wait. It’ll save time if I pull up next to the exit
“They have burgers in the cafeteria.”
“No way I am going to throw away a week of running for one of those grey chewable things.”
“Tina, c’mon. I don’t have time to go out for lunch.”
“I don’t either. I have a meeting at 2:15 and I haven’t finished reviewing my notes abut the script.”
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“I don’t know. I feel kind of… Shit, I don’t know. Unsettled? Maybe my inner carnivore has escaped.”
“45 minutes. Max.”
“That’s why I’m driving.”
~~
Tina excitedly pulled her burger from the take-out bag from the drive through window at In-N-Out Burger. She grinned at her 2×4 animal style burger with well done animal style fires and Neapolitan shake
Bronwyn laughed at the intense expression on her friend’s face.
“What?” Tina asked.
“You. You’re behaving as if you haven’t eaten in days.”
“I haven’t. I was here until late on Tuesday and ate out of what was left in the vending machine; Wednesday morning I was running late and skipped breakfast. I had a banana and yogurt for lunch, and I was too tired at night to fix anything for dinner. So I had a bowl of Cheerios. Yesterday, I had instant oatmeal for breakfast and for lunch.”
“Weren’t you supposed to go to dinner with Eric last night after that thing?”
“Poor Eric. He had been so excited about the opening. Of all days for the client to have an emergency.”
“You didn’t go?”
“No, we went, but he had to rush back to the office.”
“So, now he owes you a dinner AND an event you want to go to.”
“Bronwyn,” Tina frowned at her friend. “We don’t keep count that way.”
“Of course not, not officially. But just like everyone else you’re running an unofficial tally.”

ketchup, spurting out the side of the cheeseburger, probably splashed on to her screen, covering up the fact that she had no wireless access. either that, or she should have blamed the squirrels.
oh, and i LOVE the story, and, obviously, am impatient for more.
Was all this to illustrate that Tina has lusty appetites, even for things she doesn’t usually crave?
Hi, dear sweet Spumoni! Ah, we apologize for the late arrival, but we’ve been busy with some important events. As for the story, so Tina has some Cheeseburger and bacon cravings, huh? Tasteful, indeed. Hmm That’s a way to cover up what is really eating you inside. *wink* Thanks for sharing this charming and different B&T beginning. We are enjoying it. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. Lu & Marsh (Proud Salsa Aunties to the loving JC, Eunichick, ZLFAN, T_Daze, Melrose231 and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
Makes me want to Google “Bette Porter Gallery” as well. BTW – I had black beans and rice for dinner. Doing the health thing. One would have thought Tina would have graved fish instead…I am so bad! Thanks!
Dammit, I live in the Midwest! No In-n-Out Burger for me! Glad Tina has a friend in this fic, and a life before Bette. Thanks!
Great update. You finally got Tina into the story – YAHOOOO!!! Thank you for this story. :)
Well Spumoni that chapter was teriffic and just enough to wet our appetite for a lot more. Well, I had a cheesburger and fries for dinner tonight…and I know just how Tina felt!
I heart Bronwyn! I love when she appears in your stories. But now you make me hungry and I JUST brushed my teeth… Oh, Spumogan. Thank you for the post. PPS!!!
Hmmm,getting very interesting. I love Tina pigging out on a burger and fries and thinking about bacon :)
your delay is forgiven because: a) you mentioned Tina and i know why she’s acting strange ;) b) you mentioned In-N-Out burger (yum) and c) you mentioned “inner carnivore” which i can’t ever tame in myself….so it’s a great chapter
Enter Ms Kennard… maybe it’s not just cheeseburgers she’s craving. Maybe all sorts of appetites have been awoken with the introduction of a certain gallery owner… Thanks for posting, Spumoni. :)
Fun and Fun-ny.
Oooh In-n Out (Guess what’s for lunch?). Hmmm what could Tina be doing with an image of BP that would make her 20 minutes late? I got an idea….
Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger thanks for the update :)
YIPPEE!What great energy!I am loving cheeseburgers too – with no explanation at all.
One-happy-dance for ya Spumoni! Tina is now in the house! Sweeeeeeeeeet! So, she already checked out BP on-line. Nice, always a good sign when you’re interested. Emotional eating taking place…hm, I’d say, Ms. Kennard already has some “feelings.” Now can we see some talk and action (no…not sex yet, but you know…some flirting, dating, “what the hell is happneing to me feelings,” etc! I like your conversation and pace on this story. PPS!
Is it safe to assume that Bette and Tina were not introduced at the opening, since there was no mention of it by either of them. However, an introduction would explain the humming that Bette is doing. Anyway, great chapter. Thanks for posting.
