Later that day, Bette called Tinas cell phone. After a few rings, Tina answered. Hey.
Hi. Was all Bette managed to say, she was so over-the-moon happy that Tina had confessed to liking her.
But things suddenly became awkward. There was an unsteady silence looming over both of them and each could feel it on the phone. Whatsgoing on? Tina said, trying to break the silence.
Nothing muchI just wanted to hear your voice. There was no point in saying anything less, because it would be a lie. Bette just wanted to hear Tina, look at Tina, touch her, breathe her in I hope thats not being too forward.
No, its actually really sweet. Tina smiled, sitting down on her bed. The truth was that she wanted to hear Bettes voice too; she wanted to all day from the moment Bette left her house, but she was too scared to call.
Do you want to meet somewhere?
Huh? Tina said, all too quickly.
Sorry. Bette apologized. Was that too fast?
Tina didnt answer immediately, and Bette knew the affirmative. I guess were talking very slowso slow were barely moving.
Shes worth it.
Are you okay? Bette asked.
Oh, sorry. Tina said. I was just thinking about where we could meet.
Bette perked up. So you do want to–
Yes. How about the park?
That sounds like a great idea. Bette was smiling from ear to ear. Do I have to bring anything?
Just yourself. Ill be there in an hour, okay?
Perfect. Ill see you then. Bette tried to sound excited, but not too excited. She didnt want to scare Tina off.

When Bette arrived at the park, Tina was sitting at their bench, Jagger sitting next to her, panting heavily. Bette smiled as she reached them, giving Jagger a quick pat on the head. I see you already have company.
I make it a point to have Jagger with me when I come here alone. Tina responded, scratching the dog behind the ears.
Safety first. Bette agreed and then raised her eyebrows and clasped her hands together, letting them fall and bang against her legs. You have room for one more?
Tina twirled Jaggers tennis ball in her hand and squinted, smiling as well. I dunno, you know what they say. Twos company, threes a crowd.

Just caught up. This is an awesome story. They are soo cute together. Take it slow – I like it slow. Thanks for takin the time to write.
“Bette wanted to freeze this moment, fold it up and put it in her pocket, savoring it forever.” Everyone should be able to savor these beautiful moments in their lives. Wonderful update! I so truly enjoyed reading it. Please continue and thank you so very much for writing and sharing this story. The pace you are setting for Bette and Tina is just right for each of them.
Of course she is fall in love with her! even a blind can see that! very good chapter i like it so much. continue post please
Bette thinks they are going snail pace. Tina wants Bette but seems afraid. thanks
bette and melvin dialog was so right on the spot…i could see melving talking to bette like that…i hope candyass is not coming back to claim bette…post soon
OMG Clarity you’re such a dork. You shed a tear. Guess that makes me a bigger dork because I cry over everything. lol Just playin’ with ya, but I DO cry over everything. So I take it Bette hasn’t actually slept with anyone unless she slept with Alice but didn’t say anything, or she slept with a guy a long time ago. Loved when Bette was thinking they were going so slow they were barely moving. God I can’t remember the last time I went THAT slow with anyone. Maybe that was around *mumble*12 years ago*mumble*. And now that I have made myself feel old and reminded myself of a dorky ex-boyfriend (that’s right, I said boyfriend =p), it’s time to bring this comment to a close. Danke!
I loved how you brought in some old memories into the story with bette. :) It’s so sweet, with bette holding Tina in the park. great job like always. Hope to read a new chapter soon!!!
great chapter, they are so sweet together, please post soon
sweet convo.
Great chappy, but no first kiss :( Guess when the time is right it’ll come eventually! Loved this chappy. Post as soon as you can!
Manda…i freakin love you and this story..you are an amazing writer, no lie, love the way you write all the characters, perfection!..ya but i love me some danish so keep that in mind..lol..okay post soon! pleaseeeeeee!!
Thanks for this great chapter! So glad you are not suffering from post-S3-depression are are keeping our girls happy! Your story brings up memories of the times when just holding hands was breathtaking and a hug made your heart soar. Sigh! Keep the girls going… I liked the flashbacks into Bette’s past, this way not only Tina can get to know her better, but we can, too.
Made my morning to see your post. Love the story, so sweet. Gives me that warm fuzzy feeling.
It’s official: I’ve run out of ways to describe how wonderful your story is. So I’ll say it in spanish. Su historia es maravillosa. These girls are super sweet. I loved how nervous they both were. And Yay to your first use of “asshat”. I’m glad to hear it was deserved.
OH, Bette has got it bad, and I don’t think that Tina is too far behind her in that department. Taking it slow at that age is the best. I know that we as readers are ready for the good stuff, but Bette and Tina really do need to take it slow. The fact that Tina is even wanting to meet Melvin shows me that she is serious about Bette. My Tibette heart wants to thank you for this story. Please don’t let IC and company get the gruby little paws on them. They do not know how to treat real love but only know how to make grown women cry.
Good chapter. They look cute together!
lol yea i think am gonna use ur stories as my bed time stories that way i can 4get bout the fucked up days..lol…great post like always plz post soon!!!
As Manda’s fanfuckingtastic chapter came to an end, Clarity “felt cold, empty, incomplete. She stood there,” waiting for the next fanfuckingtastic chapter to be posted. This chapter, or any, was definitely worth the wait, Manda. Okay, let me keep it real and admit that I shed a tear when Bette put her arms around Tina…Ilene’s made me an emotional wreck marroned on the formally beautiful island known as TiBette. You know I’m looking forward to the next chapter whenever time allows (per the equation).
I think if you continue to write like this you will be a terrific writer. I love the way you capture the characters, it’s so like them before I.C. gave them a lobotomy in S3. Awesome!!! Oh, and I love the way you portray Alice, it’s great love me some Danish though…ahem…thanx post soon. Cheers
*deep sigh* I love this story so much… Please don’t tell me Candace is gonna come back claiming Bette??? I agree with AIDANNE… When does your first book get published? LOL
Manda,You caught me thre then. Aliteration is my middle name. Just like the way they roll off the tongue. As for your tremendous and terrific tale, another slice of heaven as Bette and Tina tentatively tread towards one another. This slow and easy narrative will make the pay off so much sweeter. I love the way you incorporated Candace and Yolanda in such non-threatening roles. And the Scooby Doo moments were ideal. Giving Tina a pocture of Bette’s past helped me appreciate this blossoming and budding relationship all the more. Much gratitude for your fantastic writing. Yes, as Marina said, “Writing is re-writing.” so please continue to ponder and agonize over each word and phrase because the result is a rich reward for all your readers. Your Loyal Fan.
