Put it up to your ear…what do you hear? Chapter 7
“Okay, don’t balk at the idea, but…” Meg hesitated, looking into the eyes of her best friend trying to gage what her response might be. “I recently met someone who I want you to meet.”
Bette sat up straighter in the booth they were sharing at their favorite Italian restaurant, and smiled at her friend with excitement. “Meg, that’s wonderful! Congratulations!”
Confused for a moment, Meg shook her head when it dawned on her that Bette had misunderstood her. “No, no…not for me…for you.” She tried to give her friend a confident smile. “Bette…honey, it’s time. You have been single for far too long.” She stopped, allowing her love and support for Bette to show in her eyes as they connected with the brunette sitting across from her. “I’m not quite sure why, but you don’t even seem to want to date any more.”
“Meg,” Bette interrupted. “Thanks for the thought…really, but I don’t need, nor do I want you to introduce me to someone.” She let out a sigh. “Please…I’m happy with the way things are. I spend all my time at the gallery, or traveling for the gallery. I don’t have time to date anyone.”
The two women sat in silence for about thirty seconds, just looking at each other…one face full of concern, and deep in thought about how to get the beautiful and vivacious woman across from her to open up her heart to the possibilities…and the other face pleading with her friend to just let it be.
“Okay,” Meg nodded her head. “I will leave it be for now, but just tell me this first….what happened? I mean, what changed for you? All during college, and during your time in Italy, you were dating women left and right…bedding them before even asking them their sexual leanings.” Meg thought about what she said and laughed. “Of course, I guess the fact that they were only leaning in one direction or another made your “job” that much easier.”
She smiled at the memory of Bette’s ability to seduce a woman…any woman, straight, lesbian, bi-sexual, or a-sexual. But, for some reason, several years earlier the sexually active brunette, who had so enjoyed the physical company of a woman, stopped all of her extra curricular activity, and had since only dated sporadically. And when she did, and the relationship came to an end, Bette seemed to crawl back inside herself even further. In fact, now that Meg really thought about it, she didn’t think that Bette had dated more than three women since she had moved to LA…all of which lasted only a few months before Bette would sulk back to her gallery, using the guise of hectic art gallery owner as a mask to hide behind.

SEA – I told you last night that I would be reading this today and I would leave a commit. To be honest with you….I fall more in love with your writing every time you write. You know I am true with my words. You are a wonderful writer and I as everyone welcome you back to this world. Take you time girl and just remember what you said last night….”it felt so good to push enter to submit this chapter’. Take each day by day and just continue to remember that we are here for you. Hopefully I will talk to you soon. Take care and have a wonderful week. GO SEAHAWKS !! oh wait…can’t say that …but heck I say it for you. Hey….maybe T stands for Traci & Tracey for you….
Sea, AM playing catch up myself lately but just hadda to take the time to say how wondrous this story is. Not sure if I can stretch my imagnination at Bette not having sex with anyone for FIVE years but this is still fabulous and fantastic fan fiction. Every one of your tales demonstrates to those less talent than your good self how great it can be. All it takes is the time, dedication and hands of a master. Unfortunately there are few around so this makes your story all the more satisfying. To a huge talent much appreciation and gratitude. Please get Tina back in the loop and into Bette’s loving and lonely arms. Until you next post. Your Loyal Fan.
thank you for writing this – it was an awesome chapter. Take very good care of yourself and let those who love you take care of you as well.
Wonderful story. Made me smile. Keep writing if you can. Thanks for all that you’ve given to this site so far. We all understand your absence – take as much time as you need just don’t forget about us.
Glad to see your story back up and running. Now if we can get that beautiful smile back on the lovely Bette’s face, I would be jumping up and down with joy. Keep posting this story and waiting for one T to walk back into Bette’s life.
