The Roommates – Pride & Prejudice: Chapter 2
Previously
The lovers began a slow and gentle descent toward warm dreams. And on their first night apart in over 6 months, they met the soft embrace of slumber still in each other’s presence.
And just outside of Tina’s door, Tracy Kennard stood with a mug of warm peppermint tea in her right hand. She’d been standing there for a few moments. Long enough for the hot tea to turn warm. Just as she’d raised her left hand to knock on the door, she heard her daughter utter Bette’s name.
Tracy’s dark blue eyes squinted in confusion. Wondering how this Bette girl had stolen her daughter’s attention. How had this girl usurped her importance in Tina’s life?
The Roommates – Pride & Prejudice: Chapter 2
Sometime after Tina got into Bette’s metaphorical bed, the dark-haired young woman drifted off to sleep. In the night they must have said their goodbyes and hung up because she found the phone beside her when she awoke the next morning. Her first reaction was to try and go back to sleep, but as she lay there underneath her crimson bed clothes, the newness of the sheets jogged her memory. She wasn’t in LA anymore. She was with her mother in New York. In her new room, in her new bed, and away from T.
Bette curled herself into fetal position and reached for her phone. When her blurry vision focused she could see that it was a little after 10am. Yawning deeply she lay there for a moment, contemplating her next move.
Should she lie there and wait for her mother to appear?
Should she get up and shower?
Should she just go find Janice?
And the most important question…….
When would interaction with her mother involve less questions and triple guessing?
Bette finally decided to go find her mother. She shuffled out of bed and as she opened the door of her room, she realized she didn’t quite know the layout of her mother’s apartment. When they’d arrived, Janice had spared her the in-depth tour and had guided her right to her room. Bette stood out in the hallway for a moment, unsure of where to step. She padded softly down the hall, her sock-feet gliding along the glossy wooden floors.

Thanks for the update. I can’t wait for more! I love how you keep everything so realistic!
i totally know how tina feels of not belonging, i hope that the distance and their families won’t stay on the way of B&T’s love and future
I’m so happy to see you back with this story, MTS! I hope the distance and Tina’s family doesn’t keep the love between Bette and Tina from blossoming! PPS
I always feel elated everytime I see you post. The way you express each character’s emotion is so realistic. Tina’s feelings of not belonging among her family and their community and Bette’s discomfort around her own mother are valid emotions made palpable by your beautiful writing. Thanks for posting!
i think most of us(if not all) can at some point of our lives totally relate to that feeling of not belonging, and you, Ms MTS, have portrayed it perfectly… please keep’em coming, you’ve been missed! ^^,
Finally an update from you. And yes not belonging, it comes and it goes.
Glad to see you updating. Guess that’s the one positive with L-free Sundays… all the lovely writers are back posting! Not feeling too good about Tina’s mom, but enjoying your story.
Hello MTS, So good to have you back. I am just loving Baby B and T. There is such an air of innocence between them. It is appealing and refreshing. Good to see Bette so out of her comfort zone yet looking towards the future. Kit was great in supporting her baby sis through this unsettling time and prompting Melvin to reach out to his daugther before he risked losing her forever. INteresting to see that Bette is finding it diffcult to bond with her mother. So lifelike. Given the time they were apart a few short days cannot overcome a lifetime separated. ON the other hand, Tina all too well realizes that her mother knows something is worng. The parading of her at church is another typical action of proud parents. Like the prodigal child, the fatten calf will be slain and celebrations will follow. Just hope that Tina can keep it together long enough. Can’t wait to see what message Bette leaves for her lover. Sweet and loving I bet. Thank you so much for this amazing adventure. Your Loyal Fan.
Welcome back, dear friend. It is AWSOME to have you posting again this lovely and amazing saga of Baby B and Tiny T. Thanks for bringing us such a delightful story. PPS Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha – From Mexico City
I think mom Kennard is going to cause trouble for our young couple. Is their summer over yet so they can be back together?
Poor tina, eventually she will tell her mom and i don’t think it will be a pretty site either.her mom is very smuthering… great update! :)
I hope the distance and Tina’s Mom’s blatant disapproval won’t tear apart our girls. Great chapter!
god, do i remember, the hell it was to get 4 kids ready for church. thx for the memory ;).
I was so happy to see a post from you. I’ve always loved this story. PPS.
glad to see you back after the absence….when i first came across TLW fan fiction, this story was among those that got me hooked on this site, thx for the update!
wonderful writing as usual, happy dance. I feel real sad for Tina. Its so hard to realise that u don’t fit in your parents’ world any longer yet not want to hurt them and all the time u r missing your gf. Liking Janice. Think Bette got the better deal in the parents’ stakes even if things have been rough for her. At least she is openly out. Tina has to stay in. She must be miserable. PPS.
Poor Tina! Bette definitely is getting the better side of things being in NYC and getting to know her mother. What is the deal w/ Tina’s mom anyway? Is she really this jealous that Tina has someone new in her life or is it that the someone new is a woman? PPS!
Good chapter. Poor Tina, don’t like her mother now and hope her father is a nice man and will be on Tina’s side. Happy for Bette that she is spending time with her mom!
