Blisters in the Sun: Part 1
When I’m a walkin’ I strut my stuff
And I’m so strung out
I’m high as a kite
I just might
Stop to check you out…
Bette crept into the house just as Tina was turning out the light in their bedroom. Tina paused before flicking the switch. Bette was home late for the second time that week. She knew that they had an arrangement, but the late hour annoyed her. She was always half awake, waiting for Bette’s return. Her body tingled as she climbed into bed, but the anger passed quickly. Instead, she waited calmly, staring out the window.
“Hey.” Bette called out softly in the dark, sensing Tina’s wakefulness. “Helena and I stayed late at the Planet….then we went back to Helena’s for a drink when they closed…”
“You don’t have to explain.” Tina said calmly. She pulled the covers back from the bed beside her and reached for Bette when she climbed beneath them.
“we didn’t have sex.” Bette added. She didn’t say ‘yet’, but the word hovered there in the darkness like a strange and familiar shape. “Helena probably called one of her ‘friends’ after I left…”
Their ‘arrangement’, was something that had fallen into being without fanfare or concern. It had coincided neatly with their reunion, and had continued even while they moved back in together. It had even continued with the onset of a deep bout of depression, through which Tina was still working. Bette’s flirtations outside of their relationship had not yet crossed any boundaries, but Tina’s one night stand with a masseuse caused such a flare of jealousy that they had ‘processed’ over it for weeks. It had everything to do with their old problems, and yet had nothing to do with them. Somehow, the paradox made sense to them, within the universe of their ever-shifting relationship.
Now, alone in their bed, they found the familiarity and unique comforts of the loving partnership whose refusal to end or sever, had baffled everyone around them. Bette’s arms were tentative around Tina. It was something that annoyed Tina slightly, this hesitation, as though she would break if held too tightly. She squeezed and sighed with relief when she felt it returned.

Damn, hb, with your spookily fertile imagination you could single-handedly write TLW for 25 seasons! This story would be a smashing start to Season 6. I love the detail about Lez Girls being a box-office disaster. I don’t imagine the disturbing entity known as Ninny were philosophical about the failure. No worries about not following through with your other stories: go with the flow!
I really enjoyed this.. I have a open mind. I love how you have made her les miserable. it was funny.
this is off to a funny start…one question though, y is Tina the “week’ one, the one on antidepressants etc….
Hello My Friend, well welcome back… that was definitely awesome. You are so good at weaving intricate human conditions and emotions into such humanly diverse characters. I love how each of these women deal with their flaws in such an open way and yet each one of them reacts and handles them differently. I think that the openness that they share within one another is perfect and they are starting to realize that conforming into a model that society in itself cannot seem to understand isn’t healthy for them on any level if it only leads to strife and disappointment… sometimes you need to be open to understand where you truly stand within the lives of others… and where they stand within your own. You are simply amazing my friend… welcome back and well talk to you soon. Sincerely, JC
WOW this is gonna be interesting… all 3 togther is hot what a combination!! why is tina messed up??? :)
I’m back on the internet at long last. Thank you my GOOD friends at that giant, nonresponsive corporation known as Time Warner. Don’t know if I’ll be able to catch up on all the stories as trying to simultaniously catch up and stay current at school has left me exhausted. None the less, glad to see a new one from you. From personal experience I can tell you that there must have been something else in that pot, THC alone wouldn’t do that. Unless maybe Tina’s dealing with an inherent chemical imbalance that’s also causing her general nuttiness. At least MY chemical imbalance didn’t make me nutty (well, not for long-I confess ER put restraints on me for a short while. What can I tell you? I thought I had to make a phone call! I wasn’t all that fond of my catheter, either) Anyway, sounds to me that Tina wants work more in the manner of Bunuel and Dali than Fellini. And you say this story owes nothing to your other opuses (opii?) but I ask you: what is a dog man in not a werewolf? I think you should e-mail me and explain all this.
HB…..You are truly brilliant(to steal a line from DHD/JC)….Shoot, if I were Tina and found myself back with Bette for the umpteenth time not knowing what might happen, I might have to look at pharmaceuticals prescribed or otherwise to help me through….But a certain yoga performing Brit might also do just fine in help stem the tide…Yes Oh twisted shipmate of mine, I am loving this already…
Usually strictly a TiBetter, but I’m enjoying the dynamic of the threesomes friendship. Great start :)
This is good so what happens next postttttt soooooooooonnnnn please.
Hey HB, Interesting beginning… Can;t wait to see where this leads. You captured the essences of all these three main protagonists. Many thanks, Your Loyal Fan.
its about time woman, where the hell have u been. i have been waiting for any kind of bette/tina, bette/helena story for a while now, everyone seems to be inspired by shane,and alice, which really are not my thing, welcome back, can’t wait to read more!!!!
I really, REALLY had no idea what to make of this till Tina went on a drug-induced spiel about a film. LOL! I think that shit was laced with a bit of X or LSD. I don’t know, I’ve never even smoked plain old weed let alone tried any harder drugs. I actually kinda like this where, while they all have their issues, they seem to be on equal footing. It’s not BeLena guest starring Tina and it’s not TiBette guest starring Helena.
A tibetter at heart…but i’m loving this
Very interesting! I am intrigued to see where you take the trio and how all will react.
great start hb, you know how I feel about be’TILENA’ but I really loved this chapter! This is my fav Tina ever!!! she was really funny!! heheh PPS!
Bette said they didn’t have sex. Ok, so when will they? And if so will Tina be joining them? Also what is Tina so depressed about? I know just read the story and stop asking so many damn questions. PPS!
Ah, hb… I love a tanked Tina, but why is she so down? And is her… down-ness… something Bette or Hels, or both of them combined, can cure? I’m quite liking (read: loving) this, so please continue. Thanks for posting, hb. cheers
