Bette’s lips pressed gently to Tina’s as her knees began to weaken along with her resolve. The blonde’s hands tangled in Bette’s curls drawing her closer. Tina could feel Bette’s heart beating against her own and her grip tightened. At that moment it was just the two of the floating freely over the ocean, a full moon and snow capped mountains their only audience, or so they thought.
Shane: Hey Bette! Is that you?
Bette jumped back sending Tina to the other side of the balcony.
Bette: Um, yeah. Hi Shane.
All Bette could make out of her friend was the bright orange at the tip of her cigarette.
Shane: Who’s with you? Tina?
Tina cleared her throat before speaking.
Tina: Hi Shane.
Shane: What’s going on over there?
Tina: I uhh..umm..
Bette cut in as quickly as she could.
Bette: Uhh, I was just fixing Tina’s earring.
She shrugged as she looked at the blonde hoping she wouldn’t mind the lie.
Shane: Uh huh.
Their friend did not sound convinced.
Shane: Well, umm..Tina, I’m leaving now for the night so if you wanna come back in here we’ll be out of your way.
Tina: Right. Ok . Thanks.
It was dark on the balcony but Bette swore she could see Shane smirk and she didn’t like it. Once the door closed and their friend was gone Bette turned to Tina very seriously.
Bette: Tina.
Tina’s eyes couldn’t hide their concern.
Tina: Yes?
Her hands gripped the plexi-glass of the balcony waiting for the inevitable.
Bette: That was a mistake.
And there it was.
Tina felt her heart sink well beyond her stomach and toes. The blonde was convinced it fell several leagues under the sea.
Tina didn’t answer but not for lack of trying. She wanted to scream or cry but when she tried nothing came out. Absolute silence. She had heard Bette’s story about the professor and assumed that was why Bette was so against dating anyone on the ship. How could she possibly argue with that?
Bette: Tina?
Tina looked up into Bette’s dark eyes and sighed.

no love boat here …LOL…oh Bette needs to pull it together before the ship has sail….
Flair! You made me cry. Okay, okay, i am an emotional wreck anyway at the moment, but this really sparked it off again! Helena is such a fat cow! (that is so not true.. technically) Please be nice. and hurry with the next chapter!
hey you posted!!! see what happens bette when you speak without thinking – you idiot! really hope bette hasn’t missed her opportunity and handed tina to helena on a silver platter!…say it aint so flair!!
I cannot believe that it was a mistake that she and Tina kissed. As Tina did, I would have walked away also. Helena is moving in on Tina, Bette better wake up soon before Tina’s gone. Aaron and Alice, such kids. Great post. I missed you. Welcome back. PPS
Bette is an idiot!!!!
i’m with honda90…bette is an idiot!!! LOL
Agreed, Bette is an idiot! If no one wants to kiss Tina, I’ll take her ;) seriously, T needs to pull out her Alpha cape, Bette dumps her & Helena wants to play on her terms, geez give the girl some lovin’ (maybe she & Dana can take care of each other)! PPS!
I really wish Helena would open the door right now!!!
Shane, of all people, ruined the moment. Quite gleefully, too. I would have thought she’d be beyond such nonsense, but if her maturity level is still at the stage she doesn’t even care to remember the people she’s bedding, then it stands to reason, I suppose. I’m glad Dana called her on that. But it isn’t Shane’s fault, though, that Bette chickened out and called the kiss a mistake. Bette’s got to own that, but I hope jealousy’s not going to get in the way of any apology. Maybe at the art show, Bette will get the chance to make it up to Tina, if she turns up, that is. Thanks for the chapter flair, and pps.
I would’ve probably just left like Tina did as well.
So…Flair…you apparently DO have a flair for the dramatic! Well, Bette is an idiot and Tina is a woose. They’re going to need someone’s active imagination to write them together in this one. Tina is digging a hole for herself all the way to China…how will she disentangle herself from Helena. I look forward to your next update to see how you work your way out of these little dilemmas. Bring it on Flair!
Yikes…I’m upset now. Why is it that Tina and Bette always seem to have communication problems? Their perceptions about each other are so far off at this point that I see things getting worse before they get better. But pleeeease make it better…
i bet helena’s “friend” that teaches at yale is the woman who dumped bette…and helena knows bette from that expierence somehow. i mean why else would she be so nasty to bette there is some back history there. please dont have tina and helena sleep together.
Well I`m not sure Bette´s an idiot. Instead she´s a bit obsessed with being in control of everything. And she´s far too good at holding on to whatever happened in her past. Tina is young, inexperienced and somewhat naive. Starting out thinking she was actually helping Bette by being nice to Helena, now throwing herself into the claws of Jaws because of Bette . .it´s fucked up Flair – but you´re gonna fix it, right? I mean, if this is what we get after a major hangover – please don´t ever touch the stuff again.
Come on Bette! Get it together before Tina allows Helena to step in! PPS
Flair, you past mistress of the cliffhanger! You write a serial chapter endings better than anyone on this site! You always leave us wanting more. This Bette is a bit of a wimpy wallflower. I hope she gets her sea/she legs soon. Helena is not going to wait!
Great! – ”In fact I have already started on the next chapter!” – Super Great!
Bette sure has a way of shooting herself in the foot. Helena is attractive, but I hope Tina doesn’t shirk her duties working at the auction she might discover something interesting… ;)
Arrhh come on Bette don’t be stupid and get your act together and go win Tina back. Please post more, thanks!
Oh man! I am such a glutton for punishment – I just knew when I started reading that it wasn’t going to end the way i hoped it would and it didn’t. Please please don’t let Tina and Helena get together. Please let Bette wake up fast before she realises it too late and Tina’s someone else’s. Sigh. But great update all the same. Thank you :)
its better to be an idiot by saying what you feel instead of speaking from fear. thx
Great update, as always ;) And if the chaps were ass-less then yes, that was me! LOL, what can I say I just can’t resist the opportunity to wear a good pair of cheek-less pants. I really loved this chapter – the tension between Bette and Tina is so perfect. And i really like the way you write Shane! Finally a reason for everyone to call her Yoda! It is about time you really see Shane’s powers of perception in action, thank you! AND I LOVE THE EARRING REFERENCE! That is one of the things I love the most about your writing and your stories, you find interesting and always plot-friven cute little ways to insert great moments or allusions to the actual show. I love it!
Okay, meds have been refilled and ducky is still recovering from possible alcohol poisoning, but he’ll be okay. Poor Tina, to be rejected twice in one night, not exactly rejected at least not from Helena. I don’t mind if the Helena thing does happen. Bette, well, she is a complicated character, hope she figures out what she wants, but more, hope she has the courage to go after it.
