More Than a Feeling
Chapter 3
Tina stepped off the bus and walked to the house, hearing the clicking of her dog’s nails across the hardwood hallway floor. The jingling of her house keys elicited a loud, enthusiastic bark from the other side of the door. She opened the door and was nearly attacked by Jagger, her eight-year-old rottweiler. Tina bent down and gave him a large scratch on the head. "What’s up pup?" She asked, something she would say only when she knew she was completely alone.
Amy was at work and Sam was still in school, so Tina had the house all to herself, something that happened most days. Jagger followed her all the way to her bedroom, settling right in front of her as she sat on her bed. Two seconds later, the phone rang.
Groaning, Tina got up and sprinted for the phone, catching it just before the machine would’ve picked it up. "Hello?"
"Hey, where are you?"
"Are you seriously asking that question?" Tina asked flatly, shaking her head at her friend.
"I mean, why are you home and not here?"
"What are you talking about Dane?"
"I’m here on the courts, listening to the coach talk all about blah, blah, blah and I look over at the track and you’re not there. Why?"
Tina sighed. "We talked about this Dana."
"I know, but I’m still not grasping it."
"I just don’t wanna be on track anymore, why is that such a crime?"
"It’s not a crime, it’s just confusing. You love track Tina and no one can understand why you quit–"
"You know, maybe nobody has to understand. I know why I quit and that should be good enough. Why is everyone coming down on me about this? I ran track for two freaking years, I wasn’t going for the gold medal. I wasn’t even all that good at it."
"Don’t say that. You were good at it. We’re just worried Tina."
"Whose ‘we?’ Have you and my mom sat down and talked about it?"
"Come on now. Don’t be like that. I’m sorry."
Silence.
"Tina? T-Tina? Are you still there?" After a few more seconds of silence, Dana said, "Come on Tina, I’m sorry, I am."
"Okay."
"We won’t mention it again, I promise."

I’m totally hooked!! Congratulations for your writing, it’s excellent, not just fan fictional for fun but professional. I do love reading your story.
Good chapter. Alice is crazy and funny and driving Bette crazy too. Tina and Dana is funny. Want to know some about Tina and about her feeling and what’s she thinking! Ok post soon please, thanks!
yeah, i can’t sleep either, tonight’s episode had me in tears…i wonder how B&T are going to progress, i think from friends first
keep em coming manda so addicted!!
Manda, you made my insomnia worthwhile. I’m more than happy to be the first person to remind you of how fantastic and necessary this story is. It’s looking like Bette is gonna have her work cut out for her. I trust your story progression and am happy just knowing that eventually there will be motion on the TiBette ocean. I’m begging you to please post soon. I just can’t believe how drained I am from S3. Ilene is going to be responsible for the boom in therapy in 2006. Cha-ching, if you’re a therapist!
I really needed a story like this right now. I’m thinking that next Sunday after I get back home from LA, I’m gonna start drinking to help me get through the show, then just go in late to work the next day. I can blame it on jet lag. Now onto your story: ow I had no idea that this Bette had already come out. At least one of them knows and it won’t be like 2 “straight” girls being all “DURRRRRRRRRR I got me some feelings I don’t get huh huh huh.” We’ll only have to deal with 1 of them acting like that. lol
This story is such a joy to read. Last nights episode was a heartbreaker and things will probably get worse. So Manda keep writing and posting your story for all of us heartbroken fans of B&T.
This is really cute! I can’t wait to read more :)
Hey I have just read the 3 chapters and I totally loves this story. I’m a sucker for B&T beginnings, but especially when they are very well written like this one. I love the way you write, this is such a great start….and I can’t wait to read more….I’m wondering about Tina, you don’t write much about her feelings or what is going on in her head. More chapters please…. :o))
Hoorah for Purdey Porter! Your story is yummy.
