    What is love? – Chapter 13


    And things went on almost as they had been.

     

    Tina

    Tina had been so happy with Bette and had, for a long time, accepted the fact that Bette didn’t love her. She thought she might have enough love for both of them. But she began to become anxious.

    She woke up at night and couldn’t get back to sleep unless Bette was next to her. Then she could put her arm around Bette, bury her face in her shoulder and smell her hair. That allowed her to relax and sleep. At her apartment, though, she woke and stayed awake. She would go to the bathroom, go back to the bed and read and read and read. Warm milk didn’t work either. And she didn’t want to start taking drugs to sleep.

    She now had replaced the gallery brochure photo on her bedside table with a real photograph of Bette. It was taken of Bette by her swimming pool, smiling brilliantly into the camera. And she looked at this, hoping it would calm her. But it just made her miss Bette more and the thought maybe she needed a photograph of the two of them together.

    On those nights when Tina was staying at her apartment, she often grew so lonely that she phoned Bette about bedtime or a little later and asked to come over. Bette never refused her and waited in the living room to greet her when she arrived.

    When Tina stepped into the living room, Bette always gave her a lingering hello kiss and embraced her. She then put her arm around Tina’s waist as they walked into the bedroom. Bette got into bed while Tina changed clothes. When Tina climbed into bed she always crawled over to Bette who was waiting to take her in her arms. These nights were almost never about *****; they were about holding each other and reaching a kind of peace that allowed each woman to go to sleep easily.

    Sometimes it was Bette who phoned Tina.

    If Bette was gone for the weekend, Tina usually stayed at her house. It was like being around Bette and she could sleep better in a bed that smelled like Bette. Tina also learned that if she slept on Bette’s side of the bed that it helped her to believe that Bette wasn’t gone and she was more calm. Bette knew she often stayed at her house, but didn’t think about why.

    1. Excellent chapter! I’m looking forward to seeing all of Tina’s emotions just blow up, as they’re sure to do since she’s keeping so much to herself. I can’t wait to see how you handle this. Great job!

    2. Great story. In mine opinion T should tell Bette now whats on her mind even if she is scared. Maybe even a little yelling etc. etc. then just walk out. Leaving Bette wondering and confused behind. Maybe that will wake her up // make her realize she needs T and why?? she needs her because she loves her!!! If that doesn’t work T should turn the tables on Bette make her jealous with an other woman. And if that doesn’t work I’m take T for myself.

    3. I didn’t comment on the last chapter, but I thought the football weekend was great and just another sign that Tina is slowly reeling Bette in, but Bette needs to wake-up and smell the roses. Okay Tina next weekend I will have on my ND t-shirt and be cheering for Notre Dame as they play USC–Go Irish.
      Now in reference to this chapter, Bette really needs to step up. Maybe Alice needs to tell her to put herself in Tina’s position and maybe she wpuld gain a better perspective. Bette knows now that she wants to have Tina with her, she is just scared to commit. Maybe she needs to see someone hitting on Tina. Let’s see how she would handle that. She says that she would not be bothered if one of Tina’s ex’s flirted with her, but how would she handle if some hot woman would hit on her and appear to catch her eye.

    4. I’m in agreement w/ everyone else here who thinks that the tables need to turn on Bette. Juts because she doesnt do relationships and has these committment issues, does not give her the right to pretty much control the flow of this ** cough ** relationship. Tina has every right to know exactly where she stands with Ms. Porter.
      Bette either needs to step up or step off!

    5. OH god someone needs to tell someone something…i know how it is in a new relationship no one wants to be the first!! but one needs to put the other out of their agony or at least Bette needs to see that Tina isnt a mind reader am i rambling …lol and taking this too seriously? ok im lovin it tho!

    6. i dont know how much of this Tina can handle..and she is wrong of thinking she could love for both of them…Tina need to have self respect and maybe do something wild to make Bette think that Tina is not like those women she used to date..Tina is a “long term relationship woman” a woman for life not a toy..Bette need to learn some lessons..another great chappy P thnanks :o)

    7. SNQQPY – you know girl im always there to back you up. remember were twins except for the color.

      its so not all about bette. tina needs to just say, gotta go watch the grass grow at my house. bu bye. bette will literally be on her knees. doing a great job reeling us all in girl. thanks

    8. What the f…?!?! How can Bette NOT know that she’s sooooooo obviously in love with Tina?!?! I don’t know, I’m starting to think that Tina needs to dump Bette’s a**. Maybe that’ll make Bette come around?! :D

    9. Let one of Tinas old boyfriend come up to her and give her a big hug and kiss, Bette will go crazy . Then she will know how Tina feels. They really need to talk. Tina cant love for two. thanks

    10. I love how you’re toying with our emotions with this story. You’re reeling us in and we’re anxiously waiting to see how this will turn out. I think Tina should stop seeing Bette for a little while and see how Bette handles her absence. Great story.

    11. Where is alice when you need her? Bette needs to wake up and feel the loss of Tina if that is the only thing that will make her understand that she is in love with Tina. Let them talk it out please. Love this story. please post soon.

    12. Bette either needs to up and tell Tina she loves her, if she even realizes it, since Ms. Porter has never really been in love, or I think Tina needs to back off a bit, no matter how hard it is on her, and see how Bette does without her. Come on Tina, let her know what she’ll be missing, what she could lose, either that or smack her up side the head and flat out ask her.

    13. I dont know how Tina is doing it I would go nuts. I mean everyone has a past but she doesnt know how Bette feels about her so that past in her mind can quickly become their present. I’m just saying she’s being overly understanding and undemanding, as Bette put it. Come on Pancha it’s time to put your writing where your money is. :-)

    14. Man I don’t think I could hold back like Tina is, she is going to blow and as for Bette, she needs to give Tina something, anything befor Tina looses her mind. I steel say bring in some one who takes a liking to Tina and give Bette a little taste of anxiety. Can’t wait for more, please post real soon.

    15. ” Bette added, “I mean, you’ve had lovers, too, and I don’t worry about your past.”

      But should Bette start to worry?

      I suppose we’ll just have to wait and see, right? ;-)
