More Than a Feeling
Tina stuffed her toothbrush into the side pocket of her overnight suitcase and zipped it close, looking around to see if she had forgotten anything. When she was sure she hadn’t, she tugged it off her bed and wheeled it out into the living room. There was a honk, and Tina looked out the window. Bette was waiting. “Mom, Bette’s here! I’m going!”
Amy shuffled in from the kitchen. “Okay. You have everything you need?”
“Yep.”
“And you’ll call me as soon as you get there?” Amy said, picking a piece of fluff from Tina’s t-shirt.
Tina titled her head at Amy and shook it. “Mom, I’m going to Alice’s house, I’m not leaving the country.”
Amy sighed. “I’m sorry. I get a little overbearing sometimes, don’t I?”
“Yeah, but I love that about you. I’ll call you, I promise. Okay?” Tina kissed her mother’s cheek.
Amy smiled at her. “Okay. Be good now.” She said just as Tina opened the door.
“I always am.” Tina said, waving at Bette. “Bye Ma.”
“Bye. Study hard!” Amy said just as Tina closed the door.
“I will!” Tina called from the other side of the door, smiling at Bette as she emerged from the car.
Tina strolled down the walkway, her suitcase dragging along behind her. Bette met her in the middle. “Let me help you.”
“You don’t have to…” Tina started but Bette wasn’t hearing any of it. Tina released her grip on the handle just as Bette grasped it, their fingers brushing against one another’s. “Thank you.”
Bette pulled the suitcase up with ease. “Whoa, light packer huh?”
“Yep. Just the bare essentials, that’s all.”
Oh please, don’t say ‘bare.’ Bette smiled. “That’s good.” Bette threw the suitcase into her trunk and closed the lid. “So, what’d you tell your mother?”
“We are all studying for a big history test, you know, the one we had yesterday.” Tina explained as they got into the car.
“Ah.” Bette nodded. “And are you going to show this to your mother?”
“Of course. She’s going to need proof of all my hard work.”
“But won’t she see the date?”
Tina shook her head. “Nope, I wrote that in pencil; easily erasable.” She smiled at Bette proudly. “Genius huh?”

Oh man.. what a place to stop, CLIFFY! lol.. great as usual but more Tibette please. Hope you get well soon. :)
Hey – I haven’t been able to comment on the last couple of chapers, but I’m back now and I loves this story….but what a cliffy, you better post soon LOL. Bette is overreacting a little, she owe T to listen to her…..and when is Shane going to score the hot DJ :o))) Post soon please….
And like Lamentamini I missed the “study” session after the dinner at Bettes house the night before….can you do a flashback???
Manda, i love this story, AND I’M OFFICIALLY ADDICTED, it’s perfection…keep up danish too, they are so cute…and obviously tee and B are, hopefully bette will understand the ridiculous kiss…PLEASE POST SOON!
Damn those drunk women. There they go messing with Bette and Tina. I sure hope that Tina is able to defuse the situation between her and Bette because of that bimbo drunk. Sammy needs to stop messing with Tim’s head. He really does like her and I would hate to see him get hurt. I hope that the next chapter has Tina and Bette talking and getting things straighten out. Great chapter, and post soon.
Oh I forgot to say get well soon. I don’t like to garden even in the sun so the rain would be out of the question. I just don’t understand planting stuff and then cutting them. I know that they look nice, but darn just too much work when I could be reading FF. Thank you so much for a fun loving story.
Damn I thought I was gonna have to send a posse to look for you! That sucks that you got sick. :( The chapter wasn’t as bad as you made it out to be. Since you had to keep changing it up and eventually starting from scratch I can’t really complain. I was just glad we got a chapter. I swear this story is like a drug. If I don’t get my normal dosage I start getting the junkie itch. lol Gabby still sucks, Nadia is gonna feel real bad in the morning, and Carmen is sassy as always. I wonder if there is a young Yoda lurking in the shadows who saw the drunken smooch and can talk some sense into Bette? By the way, how did B&T’s “study” session go at Bette’s house? ;)
so bad that you was sick i hope you feel better now. This was a good chapter i don’t know what don’t you think the same but i like it a little of drama and i thing the next will be better cause Tina will have to do some thing to make Bette happy. take care please post soon i’ll be waiting!
What you can’t end it there!!! That’s horrible and wrong. So more soon really soon. Please! Please! Loved it.
Good chapter. Let Tina catch up with Bette and talk thing out. Ok post soon please, thanks!
What is there not to love about this story? I think you did a great job with this chapter! Thanks!
nadia is a bitch in this story too!!! Tina take your woman upstairs and make it up to her…LOL!!!!
Ok Bette has to understand this situation. Come on. Cliff-hangers are so not right.
You know what I realized this week, Manda? That I have a actual yet serious addiction to your writing. Someone pray for me! All week I was forced to focus on this thing called “work.” Once again I tried to will chapters into existence this week. Did the chapters appear? Sadly, no. However I did learn that staring at computer screen for hours is a good way of reminding myself to refill my migrane medication. Despite what you think, you definitely worked it out with this chapter so a hi-fucking-five to you x2! I can’t wait to read the next chapter because hell hath no furry like Bette scorned. All of that aside, I hope you feel better soon.
come on now!! party..booze…free beds???? t will explain hopefully bette will listen
wha– love this chapter but not enough b/t. please please please post soon >_<
this was really good…i hope tina will get bette in time and explain everything, don’t make this too much of a drama…love this story
Why the hell didn’t you like it?? I loved it but that’s not break news.. anyway, sucks that you’re sick, I got colds pretty easily, I feel like poop everytime. I was dissapointed that you hadn’t posted, and missing Alias on Wednesday frustated me even more, that’s not the point, you’re doing a great job, I love the details that you give to the characters and mostly the direction that the story is taking.
I’m a [normally] silent reader, and I just started reading l-word fanfic about a month or so ago. Your story is my favorite! I love the teenage innocence of B&T and Alice is exactly how I would imagine her at 17 years old. Well done! I hope you get over your writers block and post more often, I suffer from “More than a Feeling” withdrawl w/o new chapters! You’re a fantastic writer.
Manda, Another perfect chapter as the party preparations were made in all their tiresome entirety adn then the party started in full swing. Nice to see that Carmen is true to her character and practising her art of DJing even in her teenager years. And Gabby and Nadia are always bad pennies that turn up and almost ruin all things good. Wonderful to see exactly how Nadia was uppity with Tina. Bette has magnificant timing in waliking in right at the wrong time. Stormy times ahead as Tina tries to explain herself but will Bette give her the time of day to tell the truth. Much joy and anticipation for this chapter and the continuation of on night at Alices’s. Please make it soon. Your Loyal Fan.
