Love All (28-30)
Tina knocked on Bette’s door, surprised that Bette hadn’t woken her per usual. She was more surprised at what greeted her – Bette still in her night dress, her hair a mess and dark circles under her eyes.
Tina reached out to hold onto Bette’s arm. “Bette, are you ok?”
Bette just grunted in response as she moved back into the room following by Tina. “I overslept.” Bette shuffled into the bathroom. “I’m gonna take a shower.”
“I’ll order some breakfast.” No answer came as the shower started.
Tina ordered breakfast and laid out Bette’s clothes.
Bette took the time in the shower to try to get herself together. She knew she was being rude to Tina; she was feeling bitter for, when she most needed her sleep, having stayed up half the night worrying about the love life of another woman. She tried to put her feelings in perspective but it was no use. She knew she was jealous. It reminded her of the English expression to have her cake and eat it too. She wanted Tina but she didn’t want to go through what she knew she would need to in order to have her. But then, she definitely did she want anyone else to have her.
Bette stepped out of the bathroom, put on her robe and stepped into the bedroom to find Helena there rather than Tina. Bette looked around for her.
“Where’s Tina?”
Helena looked at her curiously. “Morning to you too. She needed something from the chemist. She’ll be back.”
Bette saw her gear laid out for her on the bed. “Thanks.” She said to Helena who shrugged. “I didn’t do it.”
Helena went and answered the room service, pleased to see that Tina had ordered for her as well.
“Bette, I have to say, for someone who went to bed as early as you did, you don’t seem to have gotten much sleep.”
Bette opted to avoid commenting on this. “What time did you get in?” Bette asked.
“Oh shortly after you did,” Helena answered.
Bette gave her a quick look. “I thought you were staying.”
“No, I was definitely ready for my room.” She said with a smirk which Bette missed in her upset.

Glad Bette got her facts straight. Now she needs to concentrate on her game and worry about making Tina hers when the game is over.
Go, Dana!
This is a really engaging story. Well written too.
I know what Tina should be saying to that admission, but it’s maybe not the time… yet. I’m glad Bette’s found out that it was Hels and Marina that got it on, but really, she hasn’t a full right to such extremes of jealousy ’til she stakes her claim on Tina. Everyone else knows how she feels except Tina, and to a degree, that idiot Bette’s married to. Time to act, Bette! Loved the update, Robi. Thanks
Oh Robi… i thought i only had one more chapter to read… but it was two… i love this… i have a feeling jody is gojng ot have a rude awaking real soon… PPS
Hey Robi, Finally Bette has had the good sense to admit her feeling for Tina. I really can’t wait to see they are received. Just let these two find each other and the happiness they both deserve. You have made this a torturous journey but now there is light. More please and make it soon. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
How can two people who are so obviously in love with each other be so dense about how the other feels? Please let these women have a defining moment and soon. I will be so glad when Bette finds out about jody’s ulterior motives where she is concerned and how ugly he has treated Tina. PPS
Realy loving the story, can’t wait to see whats next.
This is getting better and better!
love it……Cant wait to see what happens next. PPS
This chapter captured exactly my concerns: all this turmoil cannot be good for Bette’s game. She needs to put it away until later.Tennis is…80% mental??? That said, I’m glad she got herself together. On the US Open tip – Serena is hanging by the skin of her teeth – I think she’s not in shape after her injury layoff. Venus is looking spectacular. And what about Sharapova – they practically give her the tournament with that easy draw and she lets a teenager beat her? I agree, she needs a new coach. Perhaps either Bartoli or Serena will beat Henin and then….Go Venus!!!! Althea would be proud and it would be so great for history! Thanks for this tennis story coinciding with the last slam event!
God, this story cheered me up. I always brighten up as soon as I see an update :) Thanks for posting it..
I love your story! I can’t wait to see what happens with Tina & Bette thank you…PPS
I think I’ve told you before…….I love, love, love this story. It’s getting sooooo good. PPS!!
what is it with the cliffys this mornin??? lmao…….everyone is keepin us on the edge of our seats……ah well….i guess that is what this is about eh??? lol……pps….
Love it!!! So can not wait to see what happens next!!! Thanks PPS
loving this story. Dana is a good friend and listener. PPS
I get excited every time I see you have posted a chapter. This story is a delight to read! Thanks!
Bette Porter, fierce in tennis but timid in the game of love? Enjoyable and well written. PPS. Maybe Maria didn’t take her opponent seriously just like Michigan and Appalachian State.
Thanks Robi for this sunday morning treat ( which I throughly enjoyed with my coffee and Croissant).I just love this story and I always seem to want to continue reading but alas it always ends ;-)I cannot wait for your next posting please post soon!!! and thanks for sharing this extremely good story with us.
Well I fell again off of that big cliff.Shame on you and its a beautiful sunday morning. Bette is in love and not with Jody. thanks
Glad to see that Bette confided in Dana.. and made ammends with Tina. Can’t wait until she finally gets the girl. PPS.
Don’t know how much longer Bette can last before telling Tina her true feelings….don’t know how much longer I can last for that matter. I’m so hooked on this one. PPS!!!
Great update. You certainly don’t need to end it with the Open. Enjoy the tennis and let the story continue. I couldn’t believe Maria’s dad… always thought him an ass, but that was too much. Allot of good matches, both mens and womens. Would be nice to see Venus do well.
Love this history!!!!
Loved this chapter! LOVE IS IN THE AIR! :DGreat chapter and PPS
I dislike tennis. This time of year, when the US Open preempts TV shows and intrudes on local news, I detest tennis. Yet your story is so good, I easily put aside my hatred of the sport. I am just going to imagine that Bette is a pro bowler. :-)
damnit i cant get enough of this story!!
