CHAPTER 16
Bette stood at the bottom of the stairs, Tina’s bag in her left hand, the railing gripped tightly in her right. The sound of running water from the bathroom above echoed in her ears. The tight ball of panic resting in the center of her chest couldn’t be explained other than to relate it to the sheer intensity of her physical attraction to a blonde beauty that, right at that moment, could be standing naked under a cascading waterfall in her shower. They had danced around their fierce mutual attraction for over a day and half and though dances typically get easier with practice, Bette was finding it hard to keep in step. Tina was leaving in the morning. Bette had promised to take it slow; in fact, they had both agreed that they needed to take their time, but Bette couldn’t help but feel she needed in some way to make an indelible impression on Tina before the blonde’s departure. She wanted to make it so she’d be certain of Tina’s return.
Although Bette was confident and secure in her teaching abilities, in her worth as a person, she was horribly insecure in relationships. A point made abundantly clear in her failed relationship with Jodie. Nothing was ever enough for the crazy artist. Hard as Bette tried, there never seemed to be enough declarations of love, never a gesture grand enough to make Jodie stick around for a day or two longer than she absolutely had to. Jodie hated the "podunk" town that Bette called home. Bette had even considered a move to New York in order to bridge both the emotional and physical distance between them, only to learn that Jodie really didn’t want her there. She had another life full of artist dinners, artist friends, and more lovers than Bette could count. The relationship had been damaging to Bette’s ego. Never before had she been in a position to beg for another’s love, and she swore she would never be put in that position again.
Tina’s sudden presence in her life was startling in that not only was she feeling an unadulterated pleasure in just being near the blonde, she could feel the pull toward her – even stronger than the pull she had felt toward Jodie. This was unlike anything she had ever felt, so much so that it terrified her. Tina was younger than she, from what Bette could gather primarily involved with men throughout her life, and of course there was the little matter of her living across the country. There was so much opportunity for hurt in this situation. She didn’t know if she had it in her. Jodie had broken her spirit. If that was a result of a relationship with a woman she thought she cared for; how much worse would it be if Tina were to cast her aside in the same manner?

lol @ Stoner’s comment! I’m not sure if I’m siding with Bette’s caution or Tina’s eagerness at this point. They have the rest of the day, though… A *lot* can happen in 8 or 10 hours, know what I’m saying? Or am I reminiscing too much on films like “The Breakfast Club” and “Before Sunrise”? Anyway, post soon scaf, and thanks for the chapters. :)
I think that went well.
Awweee, see I thought it was going to be disapointed that they didn’t get together, but that was really cute.
They either need to have a good talk or just go for it. Thanks for posting! It’s a great story!
Go for it , Bette! Who knows? You might be disappointed. But I doubt it. ;-)
I hope they just go for it. They are both scared but please take the step and end up in bed. Thank you PPS
That was just right
been there, done that…sometimes going with your feelings is the best thing, especially if they don’t have that much time
Yep, they are both scared, but hey that is a beginning.
So, they are both scared but lets hope they shed that fear soon.
“…in nothing more than a black sports bra and matching black boy shorts”… Yippee, finally a person wears decent underwear in fanfic! :-D
Yeah girls, I’m scared too. Bette you need to give in to Tina just this once. You will not regret it, I promise. Thanks for posting.
Sweet torture!!!
This story just gets more and more amazing. Thank you.
“I’m scared, too.” – That’s the key here, the key to Bette Porter’s high-defensive-walls door (…and here I am, remembering this magical scene in Hitchcock’s Spellbound, when we see an infinity of opening doors in Bergman’s mind at then moment she truly realize she’s in love – call me an awfully corny romantic, I’ll accept it !) Our Bette is so full of emotional scars here, so fragile… But in Tina, she will finally find someone who not only loves her more than she could have ever dream about, but above all a woman whom the warm and sincere nature are the best ways to make these huge defensive walls crumble. And even if my own nature – well, the corniest romantic girl ever, and proud to be ! *wink* – adore a slow pace in any B&T beginnings in our Fanfic Paradise, I pretty think Tina will have to quickly put their relationship on the next level, for this growning love affair needs some serious sparkles to fight the ultimate problem : a long-distance relationship. Oh, and also, of course, to take off the huge burden from our dearest Bette’s mind and heart : she will be more than able to surpass every expectations her so smitten former student ever had ! ^_^ Many, many thanks as always for sharing your talent and sensitivity with us. … Did I already say how much I love this story ?? *wink & grin*
Thats awesome!
