Lady Slayer
Chapter 9
Tina stood next to Bette, her fingers trailing down the other woman’s arm, she noticed how the goose bumps appeared across her skin as her touch travelled lower down toward her wrist.
She looked back at Bette’s face, noticing how her eyes were full, noticing how as she looked intently into those deep dark recesses her view suddenly seemed to disappear into infinity…
“You know…, you know…, I’m fucking pathetic…” Bette said, rousing Tina from her thoughts of being lost.
“Bette, please don’t say that…”
“Well…, here I am laying it all on the line and I…” she laughed, “fuck…, I don’t even know if you are gay…”
Tina swallowed hard, she had wondered when that question would come up…
“Bette…”
“Well…, you know here I am making a fucking fool of myself and for what…, huh…, so we can be ‘friends…’” she said sarcastically.
Bette moved away from Tina’s hand, turning her back on the woman to whom she had spilt her innermost thoughts and emotions, thoughts and emotions that she couldn’t even quantify the meaning of, they were words that scratched the surface. Scratched the surface on how she could best describe how she was feeling since Thursday, but had she even explained it, when she didn’t understand it herself.
“You know I have this thought…, well I have lots actually…,” Bette said into the air before her, hoping Tina would grasp what she was saying, “can someone ever say or tell someone how they feel when they don’t actually know how they feel?”
Tina gave a small laugh at the analogy…, she knew exactly what Bette meant, “I think its exceptionally hard to try and tell someone how you feel, when ultimately you haven’t figured it out yourself…”
Yeah, she knew how that felt, in fact she was having the same difficulty right about now, trying to explain to Bette that she was having an affect on her, when she was trying hard to fight those thoughts and feelings.
But why was she fighting them, or was it that she was trying to take a step back to understand them first, understand that a woman she had met only two days ago had created a whirlwind around her, a whirlwind that had swept her up and left her head swirling.

Beautiful… Jo, I think in the third chapter Tina thinks of the “women who separated her and Tim”… : at the moment, I thought of Tim’s mistress… but could it have been a women who was interested in Tina (or the contrary) ?… which would explain why she would be still married… I hope she would have asked divorce if Tim was gone with another woman ;-) Well, Please post soon… I love this story of yours (like I love all your stories ;-))
….God Jo, I so did not see that one coming, Tina still married to Eric. Was she caught by Eric when she was with a woman? PPS
holy shit!! ummm ya thats gonna put a dent in things
Married? Jesus. Thats not cool. Who the hell is Lily? I hope she is like Bette’s grandmother or something she calls by her first name. These kids need to talk. Yeah, yeah, fun is fun. I love light fun. Its my favorite. But now it has a marriage cloud..and a who the hell has Bette loved with such an intensity cloud over it? Man. PPS.
OMBG ! Still married ?!!… It’s sure going to be hard to explain ! Well, this is one hell of a twist, Jo ! I’m almost speechless… I certainly wouldn’t have imagined that. I really didn’t see that one coming either. Grrrrr,… this is all so frustrating ! Damn you Bette ! Why couldn’t you let her speak ?!… And I also would like to know who this Lily is… She’d better be a relative of Bette’s or a long time friend and not an ex. Anyway, it seems they both have A LOT to explain, huh ? Great chapter, Jo. I mean amaaaazing chapter, but why does it have to be that short ?!
“still married.” Goodness. Never thought she was married to the jerk. That does put a new spin on everything. Can hardly wait to see how Tina extricates herself from this one and how Bette takes the news that Tina does feel something for her even if she is married. Tina needs to be introduced to Joyce Wischnia, NOW. PPS
Dawgone it. Still married! Now that is a new twist. Something has to be done. Tina needs to do something to fix this and Bette needs to understand. What a mess we weave in our lives.
Did not see marriage coming at all! Ooh, jo, bring on more drama, why dontcha!
MMM! Married, huh. Didn’t see that comming. This is a great story. Thanks for taking the time.
Ah… wonderful as always. I felt the tension there… the need to speak and the fear of saying too much. I often wonder why we all think we can outsmart our emotions… when it is obvious that there is no such thing. Thinking will hopefully make us act in a sensible and responsible way… but it doesn’t take away the emotions. Very nice cliffhanger, Jo… total surprise. You really know how to make me want to come back….. every time. Thanks Jo!
I knew it was too good to be true. Jo would never let things go that easily. I have a feeling this slow burn is gonna leave the biggest scar of all her stories!! LOL.
Woah.. Married. Well, you can’t help your situation. Sounds like Tee has some issues. Hopefully, Bette’ll help her through. And hush up enough to listen to Tina’s explanation..
I dare say any conversation of import with Bette will be difficult when she won’t fucking shut and listen. How does going for a dip in the pool constitute ‘working together’?
Wow! Had me on the edge of my seat, very smooth read. Didn’t see the married thing coming. Please let one of them move past their fear soon, …so you don’t kill your readers. PPS!
Oh gosh! Tina’s still married? Well then they certainly have lots to talk about, but only if Bette’s prepared to listen. LOL. Thanks Jo. Keep it coming.
“…still married…” Oh boy, nice monkeywrench, Jo. ===;-O
Hey Jo, What a magnificent cliff hanger you threw in to this mix. It ws pleaseing to see Bette be the one to pull the reins on this runaway horse and give Tina and herself some much needed and appreciation time. This time will give them clarity as to their true desires and passions. I do believe that Bette and Tina belong together. The interences of every-day life will affect them now but aren’t unsurmountable. The instantaneous connection between them will not allow them to deny its existence but just burn under the skin until it becomes all consumming and actions will speak louder than words. Now they just need to take the time provided and see where this will lead. Tina’s marriage is only one thing to discuss as I am sure that there are other issues that could affect them eventual happiness. Belief and trust in each other will see them through. Now they need to be honest to their emotions and each other.. Please continue this marvelous melodrama soon. My poor heart demands it. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
What a monkey wrench indeed.Is her marriage to a male or another female.Nah probably ERIC.Ahh gross.Don’t you hate when you have something to say and theother person keeps interrupting?Jo this is wonderful.Keep going.
“married”?! where did that come from! you really pulled the rug from under my feet!
damn!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Whistles* Married, huh? Good luck with composing yourself for bringing up *that*, T. Great stuff, Jo. Bring on the drama! Thanks for the post.
I agree with funnyone Bette needs to Let Tina get a word in edgewise. Knowing Bette the s**t is going to hit the fan when she finally decides to stop talking and listen. They need to slow down and spend some time getting to know each other and try to ease some of the tention between them.
I’m with Funnyone…I kept thinking, “shut up Bette!! Shut up and let Tina talk!” LOL Still married…yikes! Thanks!
Aarrgghh….still no talk OR kiss as promised!!! LOL. It’s impossible not to enjoy this ride mate….you are amazing.
whoa Bette sure doesn’t know how to allow Tina to get out her words unimpeded…she should’ve just shut up and let T spill it…then at least she’d know where she stood…but oh that’s big mouth Bette; no wonder her and Al r best friends, lol. Sometimes she should just take a big breath and shut it…listen instead…give T the space to get a few words in…reminds me of when T came home from Joyce’s and said she wanted to tell Bette something…she doesn’t seem to have the intuition of sensing someone elses space.
With that ending you dropped something on my head and I didn’t see it coming.
Oh damn drama coming!
