“Isn’t it beautiful up here?”
Tina took several deep breathes, her eyes sweeping from one side to another. It was a clear night and they could see miles into the distance from their position at the top of the Empire State Building.
Bette glanced sideways at her profile taking in the moon bathing Tina’s smooth skin in a silver glow.
“Very,” came a breathless whisper.
Tina heard the wonderment and need in Bette’s voice. She glanced at Bette to confirm her suspicions.
“So cliché Bette!” Yet, she blushed. Tina shook her head and moved in front of Bette, only to lean back against her, wrapping herself up in those caramel arms. She sighed softly, content.
“We are at the top of the Empire State Building. That in itself is cliché. I feel like I am in some sort of C-grade overly-sentimental chick flick or an even worse screenplay. It’s amazing how people are drawn to things of such grand and empty stature to create some tiny meaningful moments in their otherwise empty lives. I only hope the lights from up here are energy-efficient. Why are we here Tina?”
“Maybe we have a scene where you profess your undying love for me and fall through the barrier?”
“No, that doesn’t sound right. If I died right now, the readers would be deprived of a fantastic moment where Alice slaps me. And of course, not to mention our all-nighter in a cozy hotel room that everyone is waiting for with baited breathes. You can almost feel the intensity of the collective wait permeating all the way through to here.”
“This is so emotionally draining Bette. Why did it take you so long to find me? Why did it take us so long to find each other? Why now?” Her voice was so low that Bette had to strain to hear. Tina sounded like a lost child.
“The timing wasn’t right Tina. Actually, it may never be ‘right.’ We just have to seize the day. And more than that—there wouldn’t be a plot if everything was smooth-sailing. We may be asked to overcome a lot more obstacles very soon to prove our love for one another, to proof that this is not just an affair. And I’m sure we will pass with flying colors.”

Are you kidding me. This can’t happen…
I am guessing Tina is trying to learn more about this Helena person…Is this the same time frame as B & T at the ESB…
Wow. Was tina involved with the plan right from her wedding day? Poor Bette. The start of this chapter was a nice way to poke fun.
what hell? Oh no way! tina is involved??? if you keep writing twist like this i need to stay on the beach more now that ever, lol… where is my chair and drink,lol? :)PPS
Huh? I’m a little confused Mav…I get the first part being tongue-in-cheek at us loonies that just want to see the two of these get their act together…but the part about Helena and Tina? I obviously missed something along the way. Or maybe Tina is working undercover for Peggy? I’ll have to go back and look for double meanings now. Hope you fix it soon!
I feel a wee bit stupid, I shall go back and read again/
At least Bette was not left in the dark in this Helena & Tina scheme.. hmmm, let’s see how you unravel this twist.
Talk about a Scooby Doo moment…rut row. I’m cracking up over the first part and then…bam…I’m hit with your mother of all twists! Bad girl, Maverick. No physical harm, just a raised eyebrow and wag of the finger…
First of all-I cracked up at Bette saying they hadn’t had kids yet-great line. Secondly, ‘WHAT?!?’. I have a million ideas in my head as to how to interpret that new info in a good way and I hope you use one of them. Thirdly, PPS!
Okat, what the hell is going on? Have I missed something very important that would explain this? Guess I will go back to ch.1 for explanations. You have just earned the right to wear the crown od Drama Queen. Thanks for posting. What a curve that was. Please don’t make me dislike Tina. PPS
I’m really ill or else I would try and post right away. Sorry folks. Just don’t worry about it =)
I don’t really care to much about Tina and Bette..But I really like this story is very well written…And I hope that Tina get’s Bette and Alice get’s a second change of love with Dana…
My, what a big plot twist you have, Gramma! (The better to shock us with?) *blinks* Seriously though… WHAT just happened here? You’re right, Maverick, preggers Tina is the least of our worries. I did really like the beginning of this chapter. (I liked the end too, even if it’s too early in the morning for my brain to properly process it.) I’m terribly impatient for the next post now, but I really hope you feel better soon Mav. Thanks + take care.
Okay, I’m guessing that Tina found out about Helena’s role in the accident and the destruction of Bette’s career and is trying to compromise her… But still this is a huge twist, and I really hope you’re gonna make it all better soon. Especially for Bette who must be shattered right now… Wow, and here I was expecting some nice and sweet down time between those two!… Please Mav’, dont leave us hanging for too long now, and MAKE IT ALL BETTER, FOR GOD’S SAKE, MAKE IT ALL BETTER!!! Ooops, sorry that you’re sick. And by the way, are you sure this little twist has nothing to do with your brain going all over the place with illness? Just kidding… Hmmm, or maybe not, just re-read it just in case. ;)
Ooooo, now I understand better one of your preview lines of a few months ago…!
Scratch that… I just re-read it. :(
P.S., hey Mav, much as I would love to read the next chapter, your health is of utmost importance. please get well soon.. that mean’s very soon. cheers
Drama queen. I hate drama.
lolz! I mean, I hope you FEEL better soon.
I got to say this: OMG!!! Never saw that one coming! Can’t wait for the next chapter. Loved the beginning, I chuckled right through until I reached the end..by then I had a look of horror and confusion on my face! If I had an camera handy I would send you a pic showing my reaction..heh..and as I re-read the chapter, the effect was no less. I was still dumbfounded! Hope you fell better soon!
Well, I must confess I’m confused too, Maverick… I’m guessing Tina has found out about Helena’s evil design and she’s playing her, but in this case how long has she been knowing exactly ? Could this be some kind of Bobby Ewing twist and Bette’s going to wake up from her nightmare ?… I guess not, huh ?… Could this have taken place in a parallel universe then ?… Have YOU been abducted by aliens, Maverick, and this is actually a disguised SOS you’re sending us ?… At any rate, even though I do trust Tina’s love for Bette, this is not reassuring at all. However, I’m pretty confident you will clarify a few things in your upcoming chapter… Right, Mav ? LOL ! As for the Bollywood movies you mentioned, I have seen a few of them ( my favourite one among those being “Devdas” ), but I’ll definitely check out the other ones since you seem to be quite the expert on all things Bollywood. Thank you so much for your recommendations. And please, get well soon.
*Now* I shall add mystery/suspense to the list. There are so many different scenarios running through my head right now. And talk about a curveball – I think I was leaning too far over the plate and just got plunked with that pitch. Excellent chapter – certainly made me think, even this early in the morning. I hope you feel better soon!
ohhh no no no no!!!! is sooo did not see that coming!awww PLEASE let tina have just the best intentions for bette!!PPVVVS-thanks:)
i’ve got a headache! i almost posted last chapter about this- because i was pretty sure this was Tina on the phone here:”James, you need to retrieve those files from Helena.””That … maybe a bit difficult.””No, I don’t care how you do it – just make sure that Alice does not get to see those photographs. Destroy every bit of evidence you can find. I also need you to look into Helena’s connection with the art world—if she hates Bette so much, why buy all her paintings and ask her to design a mural for the new Peabody Pediatric Center? Something does not make sense here.””Isn’t she going to be suspicious when she cannot find those photographs? What if she comes after us?””You let me deal with the consequences of my actions. I got us into this mess. I’ll get us out. But nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING, should happen to Bette. Is that clear?””Crystal.”Madison Square ParkTina placed the phone down and washed her hands in the restroom when she saw Bette walk in. —-then i started thinking about the fact that we knew Helena had hired the driver that tried to kill Bette AND we knew that it Tina’s limo driver…. she seems to be more than a housewife…but I do believe her feelings for Bette are real (otherwise half of this fic where we’ve read her thoughts/feelings make no sense!) So i can’t WAIT to see how you make this all work.
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
OMFG!!! That is all I have to say…OH..and I hope you post very soon!
Im good but sorry to heard u sick, hope u get better and get well soon. This chapter a little confuse for me but I know u will fix it when u get better right? Anyway take care my friend!
