Homecoming * A Tibette Beginning (Chapter 11)
CHAPTER 11
Bette impatiently tapped her fingers on the countertop as she waited for the coffee to finish brewing. She was irritated, and it bothered her that she was that bothered by Tina’s absence. It was clear from Tina’s message, which Bette had listened to for the second, third, and fourth time this morning, that Tina was interested in her and in the possibility of a relationship. But how could they possibly make something work with Tina settled in all the way across the country. About friggin’ time, Bette huffed as she grabbed her oversized mug and filled it to the top. She held the full mug between her hands and inhaled the glorious scent before taking her first sip. Leaning back on the counter, she wondered where Tina was at this very moment. Was she in LA? In the air? She couldn’t remember the time of Tina’s flight because she had tried desperately to put the thought of Tina’s departure out of her mind. As if the mere act of not thinking about it would make it not so. She smiled at the memory of Tina’s flushed face, the way the blonde boldly, yet shyly invited her back to her room. Bette was glad that she had held her ground, immediately sleeping with Tina would not have impacted this new relationship in a positive way. As much as Bette had longed to take Tina to bed, she knew that they needed to take it slow and get to know each other.
The brunette shifted her weight from her left side to the right, her desperate sigh filling the silence of her large kitchen. She missed Tina. Tina had been in her world for less than twenty-four hours and the blonde’s absence was nagging at her. Jodi had been the last serious relationship Bette had indulged in and it ended just as it began – in chaos. Jodi was controlling, manipulative, and brutal in her honesty; and yet, Bette was drawn to her. Maybe it was that Jodi was an artist, or that she was different from any other person Bette had met in this small New England town. Jodi represented the big city, and did her best to remind Bette how irrelevant Hudson Academy was in the grand scheme of things. Jodi constantly questioned Bette’s decision to stay and live in a small community when, as a Yale graduate, the world could have been at her feet. Bette had been a Rhodes Scholar, had graduated at the top of her class, and yet was a grand disappointment to her father. Maybe that was the attraction. Bette had read a book once that explained that we sometimes choose our partners – partners who are like our primary caregivers – to work out issues from their childhood. Jodi was exactly like Melvin, and her disapproval had caused as much pain as Melvin’s had. But it was over. Jodi was gone and Bette was free – free to be happy, to live her life, and to pursue someone she knew could be the possible key to her happiness.

What a wonderful surprise for Bette. Wow, Tina is completely serious about this and Bette is beginning to realize it. And you a such a tease to leave us hangin’ there. lol PPVS
Wonderful chapter. I think the last thing Bette wants is to go running. Hopefully she will just give Tina a big hug and kiss and hold her for a little bit, since this was such a surprise. Thanks so much for posting this chapter. PPVS
Is it the time for the run yet?
YAY for Tina!!! loving it so pps
Great!!please make it hot!!!pps
I knew she wouldn,t leave and surprise Bette, because her flight was scheduled for Saturday, she could always change it to Sunday and still get back to L.A. in time for work on Monday.
Great update Scaf! Maybe the run is not the way Bette wanted to burn off that excessive energy and a run w/ Tina in tight running pants might serve to get Bette more worked up than she already was. PPS.
Happy New Year to you, Scaf and yours. This story is just getting better and better. Thank you! Way to go Tina! Yes! Can’t wait to see what happens.
Nice very nice !
