Pick up Styx
chapter 5
A bad day at the office
New England – about ten days later
Bette spent the morning in town because Barbara had flown to DC again. She shopped and then decided to go home to get some lunch, walk on the beach and read. As she drove back, she thought about the wonderful variety and depth of their first two weeks together.
She frowned, though, as she approached the house because Barbara’s car was there. The Senator wasn’t supposed to be back until early in the evening and it was only a little after noon. She hoped nothing was wrong.
When Bette walked into the living room, she saw Barbara, looking out at the ocean and having a drink. She walked over, took the Senator in her arms and kissed her soundly.
“You taste like Scotch.”
“Is that a criticism?” Barbara said, somewhat ruefully.
“It’s a little early.”
“It smells so good here…the ocean…and you. DC smells so bad.”
“Well, cities aren’t famous for their enchanting fragrances,” Bette said.
“DC has the smell of greed,” Barbara said bitterly.
“Do you want some lunch?”
Bette had learned that Barbara was one of those people who became unusually cranky when she needed food. She would be even crankier if she were having a drink on an empty stomach.
They ate their seafood salad quietly. The Senator chewed on her food without much interest but did seem to relax. She sighed happily when she finished and smiled at Bette. They went into the living room.
“Do you feel better?” Bette asked.
“I started feeling better when you kissed me,” the Senator smiled.
“You want to talk?” Bette asked.
“No.”
“Ok.”
Bette found the morning paper which she hadn’t read, got some coffee for both of them and settled comfortably in an easy chair. She began to read while sneaking an occasional look at Barbara.
“Yes,” said Barbara.
“Yes, what?”
“I want to talk.”
And the Senator began to talk and talk and pace and pace. Bette listened. Occasionally she had a question but the topic wasn’t one with which she was especially familiar. During Barbara’s philippic, Bette handed her a glass of water. Barbara grinned at the gesture designed to distract her from mixing a drink and took the water gratefully.

Again an Awesome Chapter. Can’t wait for the next one. PPS
Ain’t nature grand! Despite all the killing. Yes, let the Alpha girls express their tender sides with one they can respect and trust. A nice bank roll doesn’t hurt, either, especially as each is based on either side of the country.
This an exceptional story b/c you know how to tell a story. I just really enjoy the pacing and your phrasing. As I’ve written before, this story has the potential to be a FF classic. As far as I know, there are no other Bette and Barbara stories. I truly look forward to the next chapter. meanwhile, I’ll just reread this chapter. ;-)
“philippic” – I learned a new word today and I thoroughly enjoyed your post, pancha.
Definitely enjoying this, since these two never got to get it on before! And outdoor sex–how risqué! Must be hard to be a dyke senator! It was nice how Bette could really be there for Barbara, too! I’m only aware of challenge stories regarding these two but haven’t seen others on the site. Please post an update soon! Glad to hear there will be quite a few other chapters!
I think Bette will learn about herself from being around another alpha…kinda like having a mirror image…altho I’d like to deny it being a tibetter and all, the relationship has potential…but I’m still not feeling that Bette is in love nor is the senator…at least not one of those ‘the 1st time I saw you I knew we were meant to be loves’; this is more like a settling for something comfortable??? just my impression and I’m not knocking it…but??? I wonder where it’s going…will B ever talk to the senator about her feelings for Tina??? The senator is used to marriages of convenience and making do but Bette is not and I doubt her heart is really in this even if her body and head are…okay I should shut up about now…PPS
Absolutamente increible. Excelente y felicidades, en espera de más.
I loved her In China Beach and love her more in your story/ I dont think that Bette is in love with Barbara,but she loves her, as well as Barbara loving Bette but I keep hearing a song that says You can’t be true Dear about Barbara. Bette will need to go back to LA soon. Will they part as friends or will Bette move? thanks
hottttttttttttttttttt hey dana will b on celiberty jedpordy check ur local listings
I’m curious…has Tina tried to call Bette’s cell? I know she wants to contact her…and the Bette we know and love has her cell plastered to her, so is Tina trying to call and leaving messages or does she not have the cell number???
as much as i love your writing for some reason i can’t get into this story, and it’s honestly not because it’s about Bette and Barbara and not Bette and Tina, i always keep an open mind about fan fiction and give any story a try…i will continue reading because maybe i’m just not in a mood today or something LOL
This is hot and love it. This is a story of Bette and Barbara and can’t wait to see whats next, thanks!
I’m lovin’ the whole outside thing…very sexy to be one with nature. The senator needed Bette to take care of her. It must be tough to always have to be in control. Sometimes you gotta say “What the Fuck” or in this case “Wanna Fuck!” LMAO!
So after the first couple paragraphs i was annoyed b/c my city was being dissed (DC Rocks!), but i’m glad i kept reading b/c you pointed some of the wonderful things about the city is well like all the historical monuments and such. So all is forgiven and i’ll await your next posting. Love these 2 by the way-I too always wished that Bette had slept w/ the senator on the show (Tina didn’t deserve or seem to want Bette’s loyalty anyway).
Great post :o))
Ah.. two alphas together, especially THESE two alphas… Simply hot
What a great pairing. The way you write, I could really picture these two together. Bette is good for Barbara. Unfortunately, the opposite coast problem is a big one. Nice chapter.
I haven’t thought too much about whether or not this is long-term. I’m just along for the ride. The way you write these two together makes me feel this warmth. Mama Cass sang a song where she said “I don’t feel all turned on and starry-eyed, I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside.” I don’t think they are just settling because they are lonely. It’s hard to explain without using endless metaphors. I like the sweaters and how they keep coming into play even if it’s unintentional to make me think of Christmas (By the way, unless they’ve been washed, shouldn’t they be able to walk on their sleeves pretty soon?). The dark green on Barbara made me have a flashback to McMurphy opening up shop at the start of the day and being greeted with a blast of air from a chopper’s blades on “China Beach.” That green really did go great with her hair.
if only the senator would also come back on season 4.. it would be something.. awesome story.. great writer..
I remember a soup opera I once watched about a guy who used to thought that he could only love the woman who was his soul mate, fate made them broke up; his family was concerned set him up with a therapist, he continued loving his soul mate but he was cured and was ready to be interested in other women which was good for him. They eventually made up and their relationship became healthy. It was good to see them apart dealing with their personal issues. Just a hint, *winks*
Even though I’m a TiBette fan, I’m liking this story, and the pairing of Bette and Barbara is building up nicely, are they going to be longterm couple, mmm, don’t know, I just get the feeling that something is going to happen. With them having houses on the opposite coasts, its going to be interesting how their relationship moves forward. Thank you.
For some reason this still doesnt feel long term to me. Post again soon; cant wait to continue!
Your story is so exceotional and full of hope. Thank you PPS
Hi PAncha, Sweet to have you back. Yip have been a Delany fan from the China Beach years so agree with you totally. I adore the romance of your story telling. There is love and respect between Bette and Barbara which is intoxicating. These women are drunk on the devotion and affection each shows. It is as if a blindfold has been removed and you can suddenly see everything that you missed before. The intensity of it is arousing. More please. Many thanks for your wonderful words. Your Loyal Fan.
