London Town – Ch 2
Previously:
Tina grinned, “I’m not looking … because I already have a girlfriend … in fact I’m on my way to see her now, she works at the Tate,” she added, amused by Sarah’s open mouthed expression,
“You’re with a woman?” Sarah whispered, incredulously,
Tina nodded,
“Wow …” Sarah glanced at her watch, “we haven’t got long …” she said laughing, “you absolutely have to tell me *everything*”
London Town – Ch 2.
Tina stole a look around, eager not to be the source of entertainment for their entire carriage. Sarah’s surprise was amusing to her and a little disconcerting. In their peaceful world of artist friends and writers; within their close circle of friends there was rarely any need for her to explain or defend the choices she’d made, those choices just simply just were,
“You’re with a woman?” stated Sarah again, her question laced heavily with rhetoric, “for how long?”
Her eyes were wide and intrigued, as if Tina were suddenly no longer the pretty southern gal she once knew who made out with all the boys on their high school soccer team and talked about raising a family just like her Ma. Tina felt the glare of Sarah’s stare travelling all over her, looking for some clue or sign to reel her in and confirm, once and for all that she wasn’t lying about her lesbianism,
“Sarah stop it …”
“What?”
“Staring at me …”
“Sorry,” Sarah paused, “so how long? … I mean … have you always been or …” she paused again, realising the rudeness of the inquisition, “sorry …”
Tina shrugged, “It’s okay … I don’t know … truthfully, if I’ve always been or if it was just when I met … her …”
“Who?”
Sarah picked up on it instantly, the change of intonation in her voice as she said it, ‘her’ … like whoever ‘she’ was she’d somehow managed to change the course of destiny,
“Who …?” she asked again,
Tina paused, her eyes filling with enormous vulnerability,
“Bette …”
She followed her up the stone staircase, which lead towards the room they’d eaten dinner in the night before. Somehow everything looked different in the daylight, calmer and more organised, no disarray caused by all the artists and guests in their swanky outfits, jostling for her attention. Tina followed her, acutely aware that neither one of them had spoken since the moment they ascended the stairs,

Delightful :) Poor little, girls…London and LA? Hmmm…I´m sure you will hel them:) PPS
So good. Excellent descriptions and presentation of emotions. Don’t leave us there. PPS.
Gosh this is so GOOOODDD!!! Please hurry with Bette’s side. Great job!!
Damn it, my comment was eaten! That hasn’t happened in long while. That was dreamy, sofa. Sarah must be salivating to relay the story. I think I could deal with the prospect of moving to London somehow.
Ohh no. Damn. How could you pull our favorite little couple away with distance? I want a happy ever after. Also, it totally reminds me of this line from a reading I’m doing at a wedding in two days “warm and near when you are side by side, and warm and near when you are in seperate rooms or even distant cities.” So far I’m absolutely in love with their connection in this story. PPS.
I love the technique with which you describe the emotions coursing through the both of them. I don’t believe in love at first sight, but Tina and Bette are different.
WOW!!!!! I just caught up. Great story!!!! I can not wait for Bette’s side of it. Thanks PPVS
Dear, dear, dear, dearest Sofa…. You already know that I am one of your biggest fans, but that was… just… breathtaking!!! I let out at least a dozen deep sighs along the chapter and a few more at the end… To borrow Audi’s words, I am also totally in love with your Bette and Tina and their connection! It is simply amazing in “Summer vacation”, and it’s just as amazing (although different which makes you a very talented writer) in this story… I already love this story, and even though I’m addicted to “SV”, you totally got me with this one too! Oh, and I’m absolutely in love with your style, it’s brillant, and i’m so looking forward to more of this story. You know, I feel like I am being one of the tube’s passengers standing near Tina and Sarah and eavesdropping on their conversation… Well, at least I don’t have to dread that they exit at one of the next stations, taking forever with them the end of this wonderful tale…;)
Well, damn. I was all leaning further and further forward, really into this, and then Tina dropped that bombshell and the chapter ended! That was some awesome writing, sofa, I don’t think I need to say “post soon”, do I? You just *can’t* leave us all hanging. (Well, you could, but you won’t, right? …Right?) Thanks, and… post soon! (Please.)
what does Tina mean by “I had no choice, I was already moving to London …” Where is Bette and y is she not with Tina????? where is the next post??????
Great writting! I felt like I was right there on the beach with them. Can’t wait for Bette’s story. PPS!
Wow, this is a truly magical chapter, Sofa ! So beautiful… In fact, it sounds very much like a fairy tale to me… What a fantastic Tibette beginning ! I just love your writing !
Excellent I love it … I have to say any one who manages to describe the tube, and mention places like “Belsize Park” Herne Hill and Canning Town. But also manages to correct themselves and say Herne Hill and not Dulwich. Must be either a heck of writer ( which I believe you are) or has been to london , comes from London or all three. Now which are you…No seriously great story and I cannot wait for your next post. I bet you cannot guess what english football team I support ;-)PPS
Ummm, you did say that Bette worked at the Tate, so she is there now right? If that is true then the affair never took place and our girls fought to get together.
Well they’re both in London now so can’t wait to see what happened in between. So glad you’re back Sofa, your stories rock!
Good chapter. Please let get them back together, thanks!
Wow…
Excellent prose! Please, ma’am, may I have some more please? Thank you!
But I thought that Bette worked in Tate n Tina was on her way to meet her, or did I get this wrong.
awe come on you gotta be kidding me, don’t tell me they are not together sigh this is just freaking great!
