They selected a spot that was minimally populated, close to the water but not so close that the incoming tide wouldn’t give them time to talk before they’d have to move.
After Bette laid out the blanket, Tina took a seat on one end. She wrapped her arms around her legs, pulling them close to her body.
“Are you warm enough?” Bette asked as she took her own seat on the other side of the blanket.
To this, Tina nodded. She’d put on a t-shirt with a long sleeve shirt over it, but it was still windy and a little cool here at the water’s edge.
The moments passed, with silence tangible between them.
Finally, Bette decided it was time to take the plunge. If this was going to be it, at least she was going to find out if she ever really had a chance. “T?”
The blonde didn’t react at all to the nickname.
“Tina?”
This time Tina turned towards Bette.
“What did Eric mean when he said fiancée? Are you two?”
Tina shook her head. “Earlier today, I was trying to break up. He misread things and proposed.”
“He did propose.”
“I said no. Told him it was over.” As she talked, Tina ran one hand over the sand, picking up a handful and letting the grains fall through her fingers.
“Oh.”
“People don’t often tell Eric no. He always thinks he can change the answer, negotiate; turn things to his favor.”
“Could he?” Would Tina be swayed to take him back?
“Bette, I told you before that it was over. It’s over,” she repeated, giving the phrase emphasis.
“I’m sorry.”
“Thanks.”
Bette placed a hand on Tina’s shoulder, but pulled it back when the blonde woman seemed to be quivering under her touch. There was a sense of irony that she was now causing the woman distress given the physical acts that they were engaged in back at Tina’s apartment.
The spot where Bette had touched her had felt so warm. And then, gone. Bette was no doubt repulsed by her. So much so that she couldn’t even touch her.
Feeling truly alone, Tina began to cry. The day’s emotions, highs and lows, released with her tears. Hunched over, her shoulders now clearly shook with deep sobs.
On impulse, Bette threw an arm over Tina’s shoulders. She pulled the other woman into a tight embrace, letting her cry herself out.
When the sobs subsided, Tina looked up at Bette. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, wiping at her eyes. “I’m such a mess. I don’t know why you’d…”
Bette silenced Tina’s explanations with a gentle kiss.
When she broke away, Tina could see that although she had not been crying, that Bette’s eyes were red, also.
“Bette?”
“Hmm?”
Reaching out, Tina ran a hand up and down Bette’s lapel. “Take me home?”
Bette let out a big sigh. One word. She knew she had to say the word she dreaded most. “No.”
(and then???)

I’m just happy to see another installment, no matter how short. I feel as though I’m right there on the sand, watching this play out…
I don’t care how long the chappies are, I’m just loving this story!
And then… I dunno, this isn’t Run, Lola, Run, is it? Do we get three possible outcomes, with Tina screeching in an agony of anticipation til Bette’s roulette ball answer of “No” becomes a “yes” of sorts? Or something? I do appreciate the updates, length isn’t an issue. thanks and post whatever you can, whenever you can.
god, you killing me…i think Tina meant Bette’s home, and Bette thinks it’s Tina’s home…those two are not in sync yet
I am lovin’ this story even more with every new chapter.
I’ll take one page if that is all you can get it…I hope Bette talks fast. pps
I’m with BetteAndTinaForever. I think, Bette means she won’t take Tina to Tina’s home. Someone needs to clear that up. I’ll take updates from you no matter how long or short.
0k I think that Bette and Tina have two different interpretations of “home”…
good update who cares what home just as long as there 2geva right…either T’s or Bettes house i dont mind lol
Great update. Hopefully Bette means No, she won’t take her to her apt but she will take her home to Bette’s house, hopefully. We need clarification soon, please. Write whatever and whenever you can, we will be waiting for the post with great anticipation. We’re always hungry for more. Post when you can.
Bette said no? You’re a bad person. Still waiting for my NC-17.
So. You had the ANVIL chorus singing on the last chapter – it wasn’t just me! ..Bette is shutting things down. Why, why, why does she have to have scruples? …Why are you such a tease now? I don’t remember you being a tease in the past. The irony is deep, as these two gorgeous women each think they are not desired by the other. It’s a hoot! Thanks for posting so regularly.
More, please.
Oh…bother…these two don’t seem to be on the same wavelength at all. I hope you are able to keep writing so we see them in a better spot…
Love it!!! What ever you can give us I will take. B&T really need to talk please!!!!! Thanks
Excellent, another post with another curve. Bette is doing the right thing by slowing things down with Tina a bit. Wonder how long it will take to change lanes.
That answer alone will freak anybody out. Bette’s gotta explain Tina why. Make Bette tell Tina why.
I’m so happy that you’ve given two updates with a short span of time, regardless of the length of the chpater. Hope they’ll talk openly, and less on speculating how the other would react. Thanks again for update and please post soon.
Tina needs to clarify that she means Bette’s house not the one with Eric in it, and she needs to do this asap! Don’t care how long the chappies are as long as they keep on coming. Thanks for taking the time:)
Ok, short is good but to leave us hanging until god knows when is just so not nice. These two need to really talk to one another and stop Ass-uming things about each other. I hope bette is only saying no because she wants to talk or kiss more. PPASAYC
Hahahaha…you little devil pseud…a new type of cliff hanger. We, I think Bette is saying bo because she doesn’t want the sex between them to be because of what happened with Eric. She would want their first time together to be because they wanted each other and not to ease the pain of the event with Eric. That’s my guess…am I even close? Post whenever you want and however long you want, I’ll still be here to read them.
Hey Pseud, You are killing me with this topsy-turvy tale. The rollercoaster ride equally thrilling and stomach-churning. Bette and tina seem so close and then fate rips them apart. Loved to see the softer side of Bette as she was there for Tina. Holding someone close can often say so much more than mere words. Then Tina decides to move forwar and needs to be with Bette. And what does Bette say? “No!” I am shocked and shunned by this omission. Can’t wait to read your explanation and reasoning here. Hope it is soon. Many thanks for this prompt post. Your Loyal Fan.
Ok maybe they should go eat dinner and talk more. They need to get on the same page. Thanks for posting! Length doesn’t matter.
The short chapters are just what I can fit in before I go to work. To be honest if I open a story and see it’s multiple pages long (say…more than 5 or 6) I know I just can’t commit to it. Does that mean I have problems with commitment? Anyway, more when you can!
im with some of shorter is easier with time constraints. but this was fantastic. thx
And then they fell asleep on the beach? I dunno. Maybe they went to buy a new kitten.
what do u mean no Bette!
