Breathe Me * Chapter 22
CHAPTER 22
Tina was on her third round of trying to load the coffee grinder with beans. Every time she tried to count out the scoops, she’d lose her train of thought and would have to start all over again. She couldn’t stop thinking about Bette, specifically, how Bette made her feel. She could hear the shower running in the other room, and the vague sound of what Tina assumed to be singing or humming. It thrilled her to know that Bette was just as happy as she was regarding this new relationship. Tina understood everything now. Being ‘in love’ was such an abstract term, before. She didn’t quite get it, nor could she understand the devastation endured by friends over a break-up. Never in her life had she loved anyone enough to have felt a hurt so strong. She had relationships, they ended, and she moved on. It was simple. But this, with Bette, this was different. If it didn’t work, well, Tina couldn’t even fathom the possibility of it not working.
One, two, Tina’s counting was interrupted yet again, but this time due to incessant knocking. Fuck it, we’ll buy coffee, she mumbled to herself. She dumped the beans back in the bag and walked over to the door, half expecting Shane to be standing there with a handful of files she had forgotten to take with her. What she didn’t expect was her ex boyfriend,
"Eric?" Tina stood in the doorway and stared at her ex, her arm blocking his entrance.
"Hey, Tina. Can I come in?"
"Why?"
"I think I may have left a file here the other night," Eric shook his head and pushed Tina out of the way, "Wow. It’s nearly 8am and still no coffee, you must be off your game."
"I’m actually in a rush Eric, so look for your file and get going, okay? I doubt it’s even here."
Tina folded her arms across her chest. She was nervous, as though she had been caught doing something wrong. She watched as Eric circled the couch and took note of Bette’s overnight bag and the various articles of clothing that had been discarded in a pile on the floor. They were women’s clothes, of course, but far more expensive than anything she had ever owned. She doubted Eric would notice, but it still unnerved her.

I just love your writing style and how you’re unfolding this story. The pacing is great and their convos seem realistic and natural. PPS.
EXTASTE7 said all that I wanted to say and ditto to what Seahurst said too! Love your story so much, you’re fabulous!
Great Chapter!!! Loving this story!!!! Thank you PPS
eric is such an a**hole…i almost wish he was a killer so he can rot in jail LOL great update
What did Tina’s dad call Eric? Oh, yeah, douchebag…
Thanks for updating so soon. I really enjoy reading this story.
wow awsome thx 4 posting quick im getting obsessed with this story now
It’s great that Tina talked to Bette and made her understand that she doesn’t regret anything at all and that she’s more than ready for their relationship. Hopefully he will leave them alone but I fear he will try to cause problems for them. Hopefully it will only bring more acrimony towards himself. Great update. Thanks for posting.
awww Tina said the L word. I like how she can read Bette’s facial expressions so soon. I hope Eric is gone for good now.
Bye Eric,its Tina and bette now.Great update.Thank you.
thanks a load for the special morning treat :)
Thank you, thank you for this beautiful story. Thank you for not breaking my Tina loving heart. Thank you for not breaking my Tibette loving heart.I’m grateful to you for that because most of the stories that invovled Tibette right now are just breaking my heart in two pieces, but reading your story is healing for my heart. BTW I love Tina slapping Eric but she should have punched him instead, it would have hurt more and make me happier.
Your writing style really is wonderful. From the first word to the last, I am totally immersed in your story. Thank you for your frequent posting, and for sharing your Bette and Tina with us. (And thanks for the compliment. :-))
Again, a great story that is rich in depth in so many areas. Thanks for posting on a regular basis. This really keeps the flow going and adds to the strength of the reading experience.
Lovely chapter, I like how desoite the chane of scenaries and professions you’re keeping TiBette true to their show’s characters. Thanks for the good work and read you very soon.
Oops! I meant despite and not “desoite” and change of scenaries.
eric is an ass and glad that he is out of the pic. Love the way B&T with each other, so sweet and cute!
Lost link, on first time when commenting on this chapter. As I said glad that Tina talked to Bette and actually said that she was in love. I changed my choice as the killer at first I thought it was possibly Jenny, now I know that it is Eric, he seems to hate lesbians.
