Lover in the Dark: Chapter 14
Login to add story to favorites
I’m lonely. And I’m lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic. ― Augusten Burroughs, Dry
Chapter 14
It was midafternoon yet the sky was grey and dull and from a distance the dark clouds grew ominous. The silence inside Tina’s sleek BMW convertible as they drove the long highway was tense almost deafening while the blonde sat quietly on the passenger’s seat looking outside the car window admiring the trees standing tall and proud on each side of the road.
After everything that had happened from breaking up with Randall in her apartment last night, to meeting her adorable and cute little friend named Angie again this morning at the grocery, then calling her “indecent” arrangement off with Bette at lunch until the unexpected and heartbreaking argument with her father, a million of things were now swirling inside her head. Things that seemed to be going to different directions that she didn’t even know which one to focus first.
In her attempt to lessen the chaos that was in her mind Tina closed her eyes as the gentle blow of the wind touched her face. She sighed heavily.
Bette, the one sitting on the driver’s seat, was keeping her focus on the road trying not to be distracted by all the things that she just learned about Tina and her family yet she couldn’t help but give the stunning blonde beside her a quick glance. Tina severing her much publicized romantic ties with a high profile Texas governor candidate Randall Wheeler was quite a surprise but what truly shocked her was founding out that Tina in fact had a twin sister and learning that the hazel eyed beauty blamed herself for her sister’s death was real tragic and sad. Bette had only known the blonde for a short period of time yet despite Tina’s strong and complex personality she knew in her heart and mind that the hazel eyed woman was not capable of harming anyone especially those people who are close to her… no Tina wasn’t that kind of a person and she was sure of that.

Good evening ladies I’m here again and sorry if it took me quite some time to comeback. Well a lot of reasons. First my laptop broke down and wiped out all of my files including Chapter 14. Second my place was hit by a strong typhoon and third, no electricity for 3 days! I’m not gonna lie it was really frustrating and a little disheartening but the comments and PM’s that I’ve received here and in my personal site is really overwhelming and I mean that in a good way. They inspired me and motivated me so that is why I’m here again bringing you a new chappie so don’t be upset if I ended this with the usual fashion, a little cliffy baby (-;
On with the personal shout outs:
modengo—You know I’m a Tibetter so I hope you know what I mean by that. There’s timing for everything and don’t worry I haven’t forgotten Angelica’s birthday it will happen soon, you’ll see. Thanks for your continuous support, really appreciate you (-;
curiousme—Well thank you, it’s an honor! Hope you enjoy this (-:
Spazv—Yeah I can’t always promise that updates will be on a regular basis but please know that I’m always around.
I may sound like a broken record here but I’m going to say it again, it’s not easy for Tina to open up even to Bette (at least in the beginning, hint, hint ) mainly because of the nature of their relationship and so I thought maybe there is a way for Bette to find out about Tina’s family background without Tina divulging it. I’m still trying to figure out on what I’m gonna do with Randall for the meantime I’d like to focus first on our two favorite ladies. Tina venturing out into another career?… hmmm… good suggestion well let’s just wait and see(-:
Thanks for all the encouraging words, privately or in my personal site. Sometimes I even think you’re maybe some kind of a guidance counselor (-; No offense meant and kidding aside I want you to know I super appreciate you, hugs from yours truly (-:
els73—Yea shame on Terion and Tina deserves a pat on the back for standing up for herself and for voicing out what she feels for the longest time! Anyway before I get carried away, here’s another chapter, please enjoy(-;
skycaptain—Aaaw thanks so much! Yeah slow burn is good and I hope you’ll like this new post(-; Thanks for being a loyal reader, hugs from yours truly(-:
Sammer—Oh hi welcome to the party and so nice of you leaving a comment! On the outside they seem to be a perfect family but it isn’t really the case. As a daughter, there’s nothing sad knowing that your parents don’t love you the way they supposed to. Hopefully it’s not too late to fix the crack in the family. Now Bette’s with Tina at the lake house, well let’s see what’s going to happen, thanks again(-;
tibettenation1—First of, your message made me smile so thank you so much and that’s how I feel about your comment! I may not be posting on a regular basis but I’m not going to disappear as long as you and the rest of my readers are still here then I’m here. I maybe most of the time “silent” but I’m just here floating around (-;
I would say that unexpected thing will happen at the lake house but as early as now I want to warn you with another cliffy(-; Angie is adorable isn’t she? Her birthday is already in the planning stage and your are invited so don’t miss it ok?(-;
All files in my freakin laptop were wiped out but thank goodness I was able to make a new one, hope you’ll like this, thanks!
mamadoc91—I’m gonna say what tibettenation1 has said in her last comment. Tina is getting too emotional and crossing that intimacy line with Bette might be dangerous for her and so there was no other way but to call the arrangement off. I agree those two needs a good talk and that might happen in this chapter or the next, hope you’ll stay tuned. Thanks so much for your continuous support, really appreciate it doc! (-;
Hello radleks!—Glad that the last chapter answered some of the queries. I don’t really reply to the questions directly instead I let the readers see the answers by themselves and as a reader I actually prefer it that way (-; As for your question about Bette’s feelings after Tina calling their sexual arrangement off, here’s her response (Ch.13 page 6) “Is there another woman that you want to fuck this time?” Bette said her voice laced with anger
I guess that speaks volume (-;
There may be a lot of talking in this chapter and the next, hope you’ll like this and please let me know what you know, thanks!
Bibi28—Thank you for letting me know, that definitely motivates me! Hope you’ll like this one too, cheers!
wkm—Tina’s dad is, well he’s old fashioned and he wants what he thinks is best for his daughter not realizing that it’s not really what Tina wants. And yep they are going to the lakehouse, thanks for all the support!
ceetime—That is so great to hear! Thank you and hugs from yours truly(-;
cellphone48—Oh thanks for the welcome back! (-; You’re wonderful words encouraged me big time so thank you so very much! Angelica’s birthday will happen soon and yes you are definitely invited (-;
betteporterjb—Tina’s confrontation with her father was really sad especially she’s always been seeking her parents’ approval all her life, I couldn’t help but think that I’m lucky to have such great relationship with my father when he was still alive.
Thanks for all the wonderful words! I always loved reading comments and personal messages for they keep me motivated and inspired, hope you’ll like this new chappie (-;
topcat—Tina’s father and Randall? Well they do make an interesting pairing don’t they? Lol You are right Tina ended the agreement because she was scared of falling in love with Bette plus she isn’t sure if Bette has feelings for her too so it’s kind of difficult on her part. I think she’s trying to play safe. Sometimes being safe is better that being hurt. Thanks so much for reading, cheers!
Kenji—Well thank you! I think it’s important for Bette to know some “things” about Tina. Tina wouldn’t be able to say it to Bette so I had to find a way and glad that you approved! Sorry if it took me quite a long time to post again but I sure hope that you’ll like this new chappie, would be interested to know your thoughts, thanks!
bettefortina—Did you say turn for the worst? Well I might disagree but I’ll let you decide after reading this chapter, hope you’ll enjoy(-:
magicspider60—Yeah I feel for Tina, what her father told her cut like a knife and I sure hope that time will come that all wounds will heal besides they are family. She can definitely stand on her own and don’t worry no Tina-Randall wedding, hell no! lol! You are so right, Tina almost has it all but she is not happy and hopefully a certain brunette can make her life happy and complete of course with the addition of one super adorable kid (-; Again sorry for the late post and really happy that you are still reading, I always look for you comment, hugs from yours truly (-:
brinny—“ It is a time for new beginnings. Tina has dissolved their arrangement and given back Bette’s dignity and self-respect. “ – loved your comment, cheers!
avanred— “I love seeing Bette and Tina hooking up but in this story i think Tina cutting the deal off is actually a great idea because when the two of them finally make love then money is no longer part of the equation. I can understand Tina’s hesitation about admitting her feelings; I guess Bette holds the cards in this story.”
Great observation my friend and it’s quite interesting when you said that Bette holds the cards in this story and I may agree with you on that but everything is still up in the air. Hugs from me sweetie!
Aiyahnah—You are most welcome and here’s another chapter, please enjoy(-:
dandygreen—I can’t tell you what’s going to happen you have to read it for yourself(-; Hope you’ll like this and please let me know what you think will ya? Thanks a bunch!
toby4ever—“ I love the fact that you had Tina call of the agreement, so yes, it was lucky 13 for me. This allows Bette to decide if she wants Tina without being coerced and it is the best way for their relationship to grow.”
I couldn’t agree with you more, thanks for leaving a comment, means a lot thanks!
lipitora—Hey you! How are you doing sunshine? You like it when I’m mysterious huh? (-; well nothing mysterious in this chapter but I truly hope that you’ll like this. Tina almost has it all but not everything and just like the saying goes money can’t buy happiness. About Tina not admitting her feelings for Bette, well as for now my lips are sealed. I’ll just let you see for yourself ok? Please enjoy… hugs from yours truly(-:
jajiay_LJ—Wow thanks for such wonderful comment and for breaking your silence! I love knowing my readers’ thoughts and to be aware that they actually enjoy my works is icing on the cake. Sorry though for the delayed post but here’s the new chapter and hope you enjoy(-:
ut—And talk they will, thanks for being one of my most loyal readers, hugs from yours truly(-:
jalex—Tim is a great guy and Bette knew that and I believe that there is a possibility for something to blossom between them if she’ll allow herself get to know Tim on a more personal level but I guess it’s up to the stars above on what’s going to happen with these three souls (-; About Tina’s problem with the governor? We’ll tackle that in the upcoming chapters so hope you’ll stay tuned (-:
P.S. Please never apologize just because English is not your native language, guess what? Me neither but I tried and so glad a lot of people not only understand but also enjoy my works( i think? lol )(-:
didi1956—As always thank you and a big hug from yours truly (-:
mscully—Aaaw you’re too kind thanks so much for the nice words! Hope you’ll love this new post too, thanks a bunch!(-;
goyabeans4me—Ya think so? Hmm let’s see but hey did you see the rating? Thanks chica!(-;
chasingdreams—Sometimes it’s hard to show the readers the things that are running inside their heads but I’m glad that somehow I’m doing a neat job (I hope so, lol) And who doesn’t like a confident Bette she can take me home anytime! (-; Yep there are a lot of things that Bette doesn’t know yet about Tina. Thanks so much for the great reviews, cheers!
JBLH—So sorry for the late post and thanks so much for following this humble fic, I sure this will make up for the long wait but just a heads up a little cliffy again at the end of the chapter (-;
Oh wow that was a whole lot of comments but hey I love comments so please keep them coming! And speaking of comments, just want to let you all know that I will paste all comments you guys will leave on my story/stories on my personal site http://w11.zetaboards.com/MyTIBETTEFanFiction/index/
putting there your name, day and time stamp and actually I already started with the comments on Chapter 13 and paste them under the username LEXUES, which is an Albanian word for READER (And nope I’m not from Albania, but from the Philippines) so hope it’s okay. However if you want to do it yourself by all means you are welcome to do so, in fact I would really, really appreciate it (-;
From the bottom of my heart… MARAMING SALAMAT!!!
phacey
Awesome but I hate cliffies. Hope you post soon, thanks
Hi Phacey, I have been following this story since your first post. I really like this romance of Bette and Tina. I am waiting for the next post of what will happen to them.PPS!
Great to see that all is well with you! Glad to see that you made it through the terrible storm ok. I have really missed this story. Looking forward to another update very, very SOON :-)
Tina’s life seems to be strangling her at the moment – no one to turn to – but Bette seems pulled to her. I like that her comforting Tina is her own choosing – she’s no longer a bought woman. I wish Tina didn’t have to be drunk to open up to Bette but she has been so hurt for so long by her parents that it is understandable. Beautiful story! Thank you so much for continuing to post!
I dub you, “Queen of Cliffies!”. You’re killing me here. Tina is like the proverbial spoiled rich little girl. Her loneliness and sadness touches me. I am so glad Bette can “see” her for who she is.
ok first let me say thank god that you are ok I couldn’t image what you were going through these past few weeks…..and now yeesssssssssssssssss omg you’re back I been dying waiting to see your name and post, obviously by the comments you can see that we all truly love your work and trust when I seen your post you made me smile too. I know this sounds lame but I get so excited seeing my name in your shout outs I feel like a lucky fan who just got acknowledge from a celebrity, please never forget me lol…omg!
Now on to the chapter, ok first you know im gonna say it needs to be longer, longer, longer! But yes Tina and Bette are finally at the lakehouse so I know this is about to be good. I do however feel so bad for Tina she seems so lost and heartbroken, but I know the only person who can fix that is the beautiful woman standing in the room with her. I hope their first time don’t happen why Tina is drunk it should be in a clear mind so all details can be remembered lol. Who knows maybe by the time Bette and Tina leave the lakehouse they will be now known as Tibette get my drift *wink* here I am rambling again im so excited a chapter has been posted. Please give us some Angie in next chapter….Love love love love love love love love this story! oh and the rain…really why would you do that to us, who can sit still now ****! lol
First of all that’s good that you could overcome all the problems you had.
thank you, thank you, thank you very much ………
I missed you …. as always leave me excited to read the next chapter ………
I can’t even begin to tell you how incredibly ecstatic it made me to see you had posted a new chapter!
First i just wanted to say keep safe over there! I just heard about the Typhoon and i hope everyone is able to remain free from danger. I’m Filipino as well but i was born in Canada so it’s awfully heartbreaking when i continue to hear about these typhoons. I hope you yourself weren’t in any serious danger. Second, i hope tina sobers up fast and sees that bette really does care for her so that they can finally be together! Can’t wait for your next post, PPS!
I always read your storie.Credo you have an incredible ability to describe the human soul. You really brava.Io always look forward to your posts .. although I feel like crying when I notice that the pages are few. high quality but I read in one breath .. a bit more pages can not you? ^ _____ ^ Sorry I know it’s difficult to write and to find the time .. but .. I suffer ahahhhah sorry if I misspelled I rely on google I’m Italian. Thank you very much.
I’m glad you overcome the difficulties. Thank you very much for persisting and continue the story.
Deep and emotional chapter, with the storm environment, perfect.
I also want the next chapter soon and longer.
Wow you do know how to do the slow burn and then end with a cliff hanger! Great chapter. I really like the way you have Bette start to discover her real feelings for Tina…first the starring at her in the car and the thoughts in her head and then the more sexual feelings in the bedroom. They are now starting to have parallel feelings for each other. Sorry to hear about the typhoon and losing your chapter. Hopefully you didn’t have any other major damage from the weather. I can’t wait for chapter 15!
Always grateful for your updates, You never disappoint
Aw man…come on…really that is where it stops. You were not kidding about another cliffhanger (LOL). I know Tina is drunk but if that’s what it takes for her to be her most vulnerable and to open up to Bette so be it. Maybe Tina will finally be truthful with Bette about her feelings and since the business arrangement is over Bette won’t feel like she selling her body when she finally gives herself over to Tina. Poor Tina won’t be able to hide out in her cabin sanctuary forever so she’ll have to find some way to handle Randall and her father. Even though the chapter ended way too soon thanks for another awesome update. I can’t wait for the next post. Hopefully no more computer and weather problems for you
So sorry you had to go thru all of that. The fact that you overcame that and posted such an intense moving chapter is awesome. Tina is a woman of such power but also so vulnerable. If she will stop second guessing herself and Bette she can drop the walls and have something truly wonderful with her. By Bette saying she “sees” her, she is showing it’s more than just sex. She sees all of Tina and wants to be there for her. Man why did you stop there? You could have had 100 more pages and it wouldn’t have been enough. Hope you can post again soon.
Thank God you’re back with this story. So missed it but come on be nice leaving us hanging over this cliff!!!! Be nice please post again soon and I mean soon. the story is, of course, in your hands but I hope you will please keep them together at the Lake House for a while so they can move things forward together!!!! Again so glad you’re back and OK.
Yes, a update! !! Sorry to hear about your problems, glad that you posted, but another cliffhanger, you are killing me! .
about the update, i feel great sadness and sorry for Tina, but she should be proud she is one hel of a woman who has accomplished so much in her life. Although drunk, she did let Bette know about her desire for her.
And Bette sees Tina for all she is. Is this a start for their relationship to begin, i hope so. But i like to see Tina sober and then admit again her feelings for Bette, before they start anything.
About Randall, kick him off the planet to never return:)
Thanks again for this update.
Oh no not again, not nice to leave us like that again my friend lol, glad you are ok and thanks for posting this chapter. That was great and glad that Bette is now see the real Tina and hope Tina will let her see all of her, her true self and Bette too, let Tina see the real her too, they need to talk and hope the rain will rain for long so they can be alone together.
Welcome back, we’ve missed you. So glad your ok. Thx for your story. Pps
Thank God you was covered in his/her blood during the typhoon. By that I mean he/her was protecting you! I so happy to hear you are fine. Be grateful and thankful! Ok! Thanks for this great update. Bless Tina’s heart! I hope her and Bette have a honest and long talk. That is once Tina is sober! I hope Boo is in the next update also! I sure hope you right the scene when she calls Tina about the b’day party. I still can see that picture in my head when Tina walks into the party. Priceless!!! Be safe and blessed! Hope to see a update next Saturday 26th! I want ask for sooner! PPS
No come on you can not end like that I hope the next chapter is ready to post,well what can I say about this chapter great as always but poor tina needs help and I hope bette sees this and she can get her sober so they can really talk then do the nasty haha pps.
Believe me you are doing more than a neat job. i love it that it’s Bette and Tina alone at the lake house under heavy rain sounds sexy to me hahaha! I forgive you with the cliffy but i hope to see a new chapter soon! Stay safe!
To Addisonalias– My sincere apologies for not including you in my shout out. Unfortunately all files in my laptop were deleted but still I want to thank you for the kind words they truly mean a lot. Im ok now and no longer pissed (-; but hopefully it wont happen anymore. Take care…
This is such a good story. I like that B &T both seem to know themselves so well. They are completely confused about each other, befuddled about what is so obvious to us as their destiny to be together. They both have huge (and vulnerable) hearts, wanting only to do the right thing. I can’t wait for the planets to collide. Hurry back with more. So glad you’ve survived the turmoil…wish you smooth sailing from now on. Fuz.
What a wonderful comeback! You created a perfect setting for our B and T at the lake house and seems to me this might be a start of something really good *wink*wink* My friend you really are a master of slowburn. The last scene was so hot and they haven’t done the *dirty* yet lol! So glad that you are okay after the typhoon pls take care of yourself because we miss you when you are not around. thanks sweetie!!! and PPVVVVVVVVS
I’m so glad you’re back and safe! do not scare us again! :)
Thank you very much for your comment on what you’ve written, I almost blushed as you started it. ;) I’m happy, now that you’re posting again :P
which was not good: It was not a nice thing to stop here :P
I needn’t to say that I loved this chapter, because you already know this :)
I am glad that finally happened what I wanted to Bette sees Tina’s true self.
is that Tina was only able to open drunk towards Bette, it also shows it too deep insecurity and fear that Bette didn’t love her.
I hope when Tina will be sober, she will be able to see Bette sincerely loves and cares for her, and doesn’t pushes Bette away.
I’m looking forward to the next chapter.
Please posting soon :)
Phacey great story waiting to see what happens to Tina and Bette……keep it coming
Phacey,
Glad that you are ok. Typhoon Glenda was really horrible. Thank God we only lost electricity for a couple of hours then it went back immediately. On with your story, i am glad that finally they have interacted again. It felt like T is always talking with some other people instead of being with B. Anyway, it is just my observation and maybe I am just desperate for the two of them. Honestly I am really excited about this part.. and i was thinking when will you do “the lakehouse scene/episode/chapter”? Haha.
As always you have us anticipating for more. Btw, even if I don’t comment in your chapters rest assured that I read it all and appreciate your wonderful writing.
Scribe
I know you don’t get money for writing so thank you for coming back despite
all the troubles . pps
Dear Phacey, I’m sorry to hear about your laptop and typhoon Glenda. Luckily, you’re safe. Earthly possessions can always be replaced but you and your beautiful creative mind are more valuable to us. I fell in love with this story although at times, my tablet turns purple as a result of the sexual tension, or should we call it frustration between Tina and Bette. It’s good to see the alpha side of Tina for a change. Thank you for sharing this story with us. I’m looking forward to the next chapter…
Phacey sometimes I’m out of words to describe how much
you lead with mastery and perfection that the história.Amo
doubt that Bette and Tina have each other in relation to their
feelings.
I hope bette not succumb to the desire to have Tina,
after all she is drunk and would not cool the first time
them to be that way.
Thank God it’s alright with you, a lost leptop
and can be replaced, but you are unique and would not be possible
have another Phacey.
Congratulations on your story.
As I checked the site, I was hoping that I will see a new update from you, but there’s still none. So, I decided to say something about this chapter instead.
First, thank you for posting this, it was a nice read. It’s a bit short but after all the misfortunes you had, I won’t dare ask for more. What you’ve shared with us was highly appreciated.
In this chapter, obviously it was an unhappy scene. Tina’s loneliness is so intense. I’m sure Bette will be there for her (one of the roles she’s playing in this story) but I think, with everything that Tina is going through, I think she needs a professional psychological help. Maybe a therapy might help just like what she did in your other story, of course with the help of Bette. Obviously she’s still suffering some trauma from her childhood experience and I’m afraid if not given proper care, it will lead to neurosis and there’s nothing romantic about that. A neurotic Tina is not romantic at all.
But of course, only you can make
that situation better and I’m sure Tina will be able to pull herself together, with Bette’s support.
Can’t wait for your next update. Please post the new chapter soon if nothing will get in the way (a laptop problem perhaps) Thanks!
OMG!you meant it!I am soooo hooked!Please stay safe and …..um,post ASAP& amsp
Wow that was sad, beautiful and so intense. “I see you”, that has to touch anyones heart and soul. But I dont’t want there first time to be tainited in anyone-so Tina being drunk-they should not make love.
