The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Eight
Tina stood in her living room and looked and the boxes that surrounded her. She smiled to herself, knowing that later on today these boxes would be taking up residence in the house of Bette Porter. She walked back to the kitchen to make some coffee. She promised Bette that she wouldn’t pack the coffee maker so that when she got to Tina’s apartment the coffee would already be brewed. Tina had complained saying that she wanted everything to be packed, but now she was glad. She had barely slept at all that night before, like a kid on Christmas Eve, she was way too excited about what the next day held to be able to relax. The caffeine would have to keep her going until she was fully ensconced in Bette’s house.
Tina had spent all of the day before at Bette’s, arranging space so that she would actually have somewhere to put her things. All the time she was there she marvelled at the difference in taste that her and Bette had. Bette was all about ornate pieces of art while Tina treasured her CD collection. When Bette had asked to move in Tina had found herself saying yes before Bette had even got the question out. Now she was having some last minute doubts. Would they really be able to make it work? Was this really it, the chance to live happily ever after? Tina hoped so.
Bette had wanted her to stay the night but Tina had insisted that her last night in her apartment really should her last night and resisted Bette’s entreaties. She almost cracked when Bette had offered to spend the night at Tina’s but she remained strong, working on the principle that one night wasn’t going to make any difference when they had the rest of their lives together. Much to Alice’s hilarity Bette had hired a U-haul to move Tina’s belonging. Now all she had to do was turn up.
Tina walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch. Then she stood up and wandered over to the window to see if she could see Bette driving down the street. When that didn’t seem to pass the time fast enough she turned on the television. After surfing the channels for what seemed like a lifetime she turned the TV back off. It was then that her phone started to ring.

Wow, love it. And I REALLY love RULE No 8! If two things were ever meant to be together its… Bette and Tina: And Bette and Levis!
Ooooooooo, and on top!!
A delay of the inevitable…Thankyou for this reprieve, and I’m looking forward to what Helena has to say and offer when she arrives at Tina’s new house…
don’t let season 3 influence you but think of what Laurel and Jennifer want and what all TiBetters want..remember? farm in vermont, B&T together, 2 kids, true love, alice is selling veggies?
LOL@ but in agreement with B&TF. This was so… touching. I love it.
Fills me with longing and nostalgia for something so sweet.
WHOA…like T predicted the future…how sad…they say what you fear is what you get or make happen…and for me S1 kinda showed that in hindsight…sad…but lovely…hanging out for your update…
LMFAO Leave it to B&TF to make me laugh while I have a tear in my eye. xD You all can thank me later for asking the Question of the Day that brought forth the farm thing. ;)
I really like the past-vs-present flow of the story. Another great chapter, keep them coming, please. Cheers
I just read your entire story today, at the suggestion of a friend. Well done! I look forward to seeing where you take us. Your dialogue is very true to the characters – a strength that stands our in your writing. Thanks!
I like your moving in scene – Tina seems so fragile and Bette strong but willing to share her vulnerabilities but still seem in control. Can’t wait to get your take on why Tina fell so low.
Thanks for writing and the reminder that change can be liberating.
OMG…you are more woman than I. I haven’t even been able to bring myself to purchase S3. Please don’t let it rub off on the story! OH…and good job with the letter.
Wow! Amazing! Now don’t watch too much of S3 ;-)
Good chapter. Hope you made B&T happy and be together. OK post soon please, thanks!
If you do anything else DON’T let season 3 influence you…just keep saying to yourself Bette & Tina…B&T, Bettina, Tibette…rah rah sis boom bah!
Spectacular! Thank you so very much for writing and sharing. You paint a beautiful TiBette picture.
