Every Glance Speaks – Chapter 6
~ Tina Kennard ~
She’s holding me. Her tones, slender arms are folded around my quaking shoulders and I swear I could die content this very second. I’m leaning into her touch, her touch that’s both soft and strong. Her scent lingers in the air; I’m breathing it in greedily, letting it satiate my senses, fill up my lungs.
I’m slowly forgetting the angry man I’m promised to. The man waiting a little beyond those doors. Being here with her is all I can comprehend right now and I’m struggling with that. All I can see is Bette Porter.
I’m dragging my head up to see more of her through my blurred eyes. I’m vaguely aware that I’m distraught but seeing her gazing so curiously back at me, I don’t recall ever feeling anything but elated. She’s making me feel like a little awestruck child or like I’m standing on the edge of something much too deep; some vast canyon of unexplored emotion. Her dark gaze is directed at my soul, the intensity burning straight through me.
I’m gasping for the air of a world where she could be mine. Drawing breath, I seem to take in reality once more and I unenthusiastically leap back to the present situation.
“I should go to him” I can hear myself stating; dragging Eric’s twisted face back into my memory and igniting fresh tears.
I don’t want to go. Please understand, I don’t want to go to him.
My bravado is holding up but I know my eyes are betraying me. I know that they’re pleading. I know they’re begging for a reason to stay in the warm office, stay in the wrapping of the mocha-skinned comforter.
“Tina” she’s saying, her head tilted. Her expression, pitying.
Pity. She pities you. Fucking pity for the overly sensitive partner of the hot-headed artist.
A shot of anger tears me from her arms and my voice comes out cold and sharp.
“Don’t pity me.”
I don’t want to face her. I don’t think I can stand the disappointment, I don’t want to turn around and see her patronising response but instead I hear the ghost of a giggle.
What the hell? She’s laughing at me.
I picture her sat there on the large overly-expensive couch, kicking her shoes off and throwing her head back in hearty amusement.

Beautifully written, just beautiful. I think its profound how Tina feels, like she wants to feel this for the rest of her life, in only 45 minutes of meeting Bette. I guess she can do that to people…I know she does it to me…pps.
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!Truely enjoy and anxiously waiting for MORE!!
Love is in the aiiiir! xD Tina is caught by Bette! And I repeat again ; LOVE IS IN THE AAAIR! Hoo thanks for not torture me! Yeah we should pick a name! I will think of one and I will send you a PM with the name! :DGreat chapter and please post more soon!
I’ve got to say after all the B&T stories of the begining, why its just dawning on me now, that I don’t think I’ve ever met someone and felt what they felt the first time they did. I mean theirs someone in my life that all it takes is the sound of her voice, or seeing her and it doesn’ matter how the rest of my day goes, but never that instant BAM.
say it and they will say it back.. ur killing me
WOW keep going please.
Bette really brings the sexy with that velvet voice and gentle chuckles, doesn’t she? That statement “I never pity the powerful” is a wonderful way for Bette to start rebuilding Tina’s self-esteem.
Such an array of emotion… beautifully written. I’m certainly left wanting more!
For one so young you are doing a beautiful job with this story and I am enjoying it very much. PPS
WOW. That was Good. A mocha-skined comforter. Where can I get me one of those. Thanks for takin the time.
Don’t ya just hate when people laugh that nervous laugh and you think they’re laughing at you?! totally felt that scene. On to read the rest…
Wow, the feelings that both laid out for the other woman. Tina afraid that others will view her as weak and Bette knowing that Tina is really the stronger of Tina and Eric.
That was beautiful!
