Journeys – Chapter 6 – Fear & Destiny
(Rose and Tina are in the car on the way home from Alice and Dana’s. This is
occurring after they left the house and before the end of the last chapter
where Bette has her bizarre dream. There is a long silence, though not
uncomfortable. However, Rose is wondering what Tina is thinking, and Tina is
contemplative but does not quite know what she feels or what to think; she
assumes it was just the adventurous evening she just had.)
ROSE- “So that was certainly an interesting night.” (Tina chuckles and just
agrees.) “You finally met THE Lesbians!”
TINA- “Oh GodI’m SO sorry about that Rosie!”
ROSE- (She laughs.) “It’s okI’m pretty sure they took it as a complement!
TINA- “You know, they really are great. And you were right about Bette.
She’s striking. She’s intimidating in a way and yet somehow her heart is
apparent. Her presence iswell, she has presence. Certainly, she’s a gorgeous
woman. I sort of found myself noticing her.”
ROSE- (She’s starting to get a little anxious upon hearing these words.)
“Noticing?”
TINA- “Yeah, I guess it’s her presence and her overall energythey way she
presents herself. She made me nervous, like I was suddenly experiencing things
in slow motion. My senses seemed to be on overdrive, like I was involuntarily
listening more carefully, hearing her more audibly, seeing her with particular
clarity. I had a teacher that affected me like that once.”
ROSE- (Turns quickly and looks at her and then reverts again to looking at the
road ahead) “Ahhh, teacher?”
TINA- “Yeah, Mr. Philips. He was kind of like that.”
ROSE- “Oh, oh yeahokI guessyeahsure”
TINA- “You think I’m nuts”
ROSE- “No, I totally understand” (‘Thank goodness,’ Rose thought to
herselffor a second she thought the next thing Tina was going to say was that
it was a woman professor that had that effect on her) “Bette is a good soul,
a passionate one, an intelligent woman and a loyal friend. She loves with all
of herself, and if she can’t it’s a problem” (She cuts herself off.)
TINA- “What do you mean?”
ROSE- (Lying) “You know I’m not actually sure where I was going with that.
I’ve totally lost track of my thoughts. This night was quite an adventure.”

I am already besotted with this rich stoy. Thanks. I particularly enjoy your writing style and how “warm” and kind you have made Bette Porter’s character.
I love your way of description, so exquisite. Since Bette decided to befriend Tina, I guess it’s Tina who will make the first move, heehee. What kind of role is Shane playing? Is she having some secret feelings for Bette?
Don’t feel bad…we’ll gladly trudge thru these long chapters!!! In fact…bring on another…tks
Ah, a lengthy, but wonderful chapter. The way you write the interaction between characters is fantastic. I look forward to what you might write next.
Superb cant wait for the next long chapter

I am sooo totatly hooked on this story. Your pace is incredibly. The story is so interesting, it flows beautifully, the conversation is intelligent. I love how Tina and Bette both question themselves since this is something so different for both of them.You’re doing an incredible job, I can’t wait for more!!!!!!!!!
The story was long but totally worth it. Hmmmmmmm, lets see who makes the first move. I do believe it may be our Ms. Tina.
How long do you think Bette can hold out Tina will need to make the first move. Poor Rose she is friends to both,and doesn’t want either one to get hurt. thanks
