Put it up to your ear…What do you hear? Chapter 9
Previously…
The two women stared at each other for a moment, surprise showing on both their faces, yet you could also see the deep, profound connection…the instant knowing of who this person was going to be in their lives, reflected in each of their eyes.
"It’s you," they both whispered in awe at the same time.
Chapter 9
"It’s you," Bette repeated, barely breathing out the words.
She stared at her T, and then couldn’t help herself and whispered the phase one more time, almost as if she were trying to convince herself that it really was T for Tina who was standing right before her.
"It’s you….."
After that last whispered acknowledgment there was absolute silence…neither woman hearing the peripheral conversations taking place throughout the gallery…neither woman hearing the soft instrumental music playing on the surround sound speakers…or the occasional laughter floating through the air…and, most certainly neither woman heard the sharp intake of breath that came from the stunned man, whose fingers tightened their grip around Tina’s arm, as he watched the woman he loved with all his heart, fall instantly in love with another, right before his eyes.
The two women were lost in each other. Two sets of eyes, one dark chocolate, the other hazel, filling with tears of joy. The only movement was that of their chests as they rose up and down, bringing the air in…and letting it out….bringing the air in…and letting it out.
You would think that one or both of them would start to feel uncomfortable just staring at each other…but, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. Both women felt instantly comfortable with the other…felt an ease take over, not only their body, but their souls as well. If truth be told, they both could have stood there all night long, just drinking in the other. However, there was a party going on…a party in which Bette was the hostess. And, there was also a boyfriend, who at this moment could feel the dread rolling down his body.
Eric was a man, and he was a lawyer, and he was very good at reading other people’s body language. It was because of this, that he knew in his heart that he had lost Tina’s. He had lost her the moment Bette had turned around. In reality he had never held Tina’s heart, but she had done her very best to convince him otherwise over the past few months. However, because he was a man, and a lawyer, there was no way he was just going to let Tina go. She was to wonderful to give up on without a fight. So, without hesitating, he squeezed Tina’s arm with enough force as to get her attention, and pretended to double over in pain, letting out a soft moan.

Your such a hopeless romantic and I absolutley adore it! Glad to see you updating this story. I was just starting to read “if it’s menat to be.” It gives me hope that there is true love out there for everyone!
Poor Eric, condemned to love-death! I’m sure he was blinded by the sparks flying! When you know, you know – you know? Thanks!
I think this was a perfectly fine chapter, Sea! Oh! ANd don’t worry about all of the BeLenas you need some variety in your life, right?;)
I remember this,and I just read a few day ago If its Meant to Be again. The other needed something to write about. I’m a T-B lover and that how I would like to see S4 Glad you got back to this IThe Sea Shell. thanks so much and for the other stories. thanks
Welcome back. I am glad that you are continuing with this story. When I get some free time I will go back and read the earlier chapters again. Can’t wait to see Bette and Tina get to know one another. So please post again and like real soon.
Soo happy you continue with this story. Nice touch having Tina taking the initiative in leaving the earing. Post soon :-)
1st of all: Eric you son of a…2nd: This Tina sure has some bal… ahem, nerve!! lol You go T!!!Post soon please!Great chapter as usual, Seahurst!
Love this story, it has been missed. Just read a few chapters of “If it’s meant to be”, again, is a “revisited” on the cards soon? If not more of this fic and i’ll be happy. Thanks.
You are the best Seahurst!! I’m not really into the Bette and Helena thing either. I loved the earring thing. Thanks for this chapter!!
Yay… I missed it. I also not really into H/B stories. So please don’t let us wait for too long for the next one. :)
That’s right Tina, handle your business with Bette!
Hi Sea – Very happy to see a chapter by you. I really enjoyed your own special spin on how the earring “is left” at the gallery. I can really sense their magical connection together in this chapter. Thank you so very much for writing! Please post again very soon. Hope all is well with you. *smiles*
I’m so happy to see a new chapter on this story!! Funny how Eric and Tina are both employing the same tactics to try to get what they want: Eric by faking a stomachache and Tina by faking losing an earring. Love that you’re putting your twist into Tina actually placing her earring into Bette’s hand. Fate can only do so much and then you have to take a proactive part in it!! Please post again soon.
WOW SEA…. love this… and i am with you… its only bette and tina for me too… bette and hellena… no way would they ever get together… even IC… she is twisted… but not that twisted…
Glad your back. Come on you know were all B&T lovers deep down inside, but we got a bit disenchanted after S3. Were hopeful, but B&H is interesting. Love the earring, poor Eric he’s done.
WOW!!!! You brought me back to reading again……..I love this story and thank you so much for posting. I have to admit you truly are the one and only one for me…yes there’s my gal but for fan fic you are it on the L word side. Thank you sweetie…I truly hope you are doing well, I miss talking to you though!
nicely done Sea- i enjoyed it as usual!
Nice move with the earring :)
Ha! Another twist to the earring story. Love it!!
I truly love this story, it’s so sweet and the connection you’ve created between our girls is just brilliant and amazing. I really hope you continue with this wonderful story, I need it very bad, unlike all the Bette/Helena stories. Have a great weekend :o))
Always a pleasure to see you posting. More please!
love this story i’m happy you’ve come back to it and i love your take with the earring great job
Yay! I love this story. I can’t stand the Hette(Helena-Bette) stories/coupling but unlike you I don’t read any of them :-) I don’t like the other HeT(Henry-Tina) couple either.
I love and hate this story. I love that it’s sooo romantic and I hate that the updates are so far apart. This is so well written you can feel the love and tension between these two. I love this story.
Thank you for posting! It is nice to read b & t. I just can’t make myself like the Bette and Helena thing. I think the authors are great but I just want the “the” girls together. ps….contacted my senators this morning.
Seahurst, I couldn’t agree with you more about all the B & H stories that are floating around. You’re a stronger person than I because I can’t even bring myself to read them!!! I can’t take anymore B/T not together! All I have is fanfic!!! please continue!
This is such a cute, wonderfull amazing (I can’t find enough words here) story… Don’t ever stop writing it… *sigh* beautifull
Adorable chapter. Eric, it’s only a matter of time. I enjoyed how you handled T and the earing. Can’t wait for you to charm us with the next chapter.
finally you posted am so glad youare back i used to be one of your silent readers and dude i love your storyamazing read
Taking a line from Shane, “Yeah, you see? That gives me hope, because I love knowing that two people who’ve been together for so long … can still make each other that happy.” Please continue on a regular basis so we TiBette fans can have something to read!
You know, I really did feel sorry for Eric at that moment. I mean, that has to be the worst feeling to watch someone you thought was your soulmate fall in love with someone else, and of a different gender no less! But I’m sure there was a better way to handle that. Faking a stomach cramp? I thought that was kiddie stuff to keep from going to school?
I’ve missed your Bette and Tina, nice to see a chapter from you. Thank you.
Hey gal, what a joy and pleasure it is to have you back posting this fabulous fan fiction again. You have been sooooo missed. This chapter was a class act. As always you expertly brought all of the strands together and weaved a wonderful spell over all of your readers. Shame that Eric was such a prick but hey Tina is too wonderful to lose. I am sure that he will soon realize that you cann’t hold onto something that is not yours. I loved the fact that Tina dropped her earring to ensure another visit to Bette’s gallery. And who knows what might happen next. Other than the fact it will be superb given your skills and talents. Thank you so much. Your Loyal Fan.
Oh wonderful
Great! I just love this story. Thanks sea for continuing it! ^_^
So glad you’re back Sea, you’re amazing.
This is awesome and a good twist about the earring!
sweet, bold Tina…looking forward to update…love your writing
perfectttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!
