Chapter 6
Bette awoke, delighted to glance over and see Tina’s leg still tangled in the sheets. Although she had been up first through her many bouts of wakefulness during the night, she was glad to be fully awake at last. And off the uncomfortable couch. She made a mental note to invest in better furniture as she pulled herself up.
She went for a quick shower and quietly took some clothes from her room to the bathroom so she could change before moving over to the stove and turning it on for Tina’s coffee.
Just as she sat at the table with a carefully chosen apple in hand and a book in the other, she heard a deep inhale from the bedroom. Tina was waking. She smiled and tried to busy herself, as if that would save her from Tina’s pseudo-wrath.
"What the …"
She chuckled a bit before forcing her eyes to read the lines of an old Edmund Spencer work, trying to ignore Tina’s confusion and slow placement of how she had ended up where she was.
"Bette?"
"In here," she answered, taking a bite of her apple and never leaving her spot at the table. God, this girl brought out such a playful side in her.
"Did I … crawl into bed with you?" Tina asked, looking slightly embarrassed at her desperation.
That caused Bette to laugh, careful not to choke on her food before clarifying. "No no, I just brought you in there so I could sleep on the couch."
Tina put a hand on her hip. "Excuse me?" Of course, Bette could see she wasn’t really upset. She looked rather appreciative, and absolutely beautiful with her ruffled hair and messy, dishevelled clothes. "I will have you know I was genuinely excited to try it out."
"Sorry I took away the wonderful experience." She tried to keep her eyes on the book even when Tina took another step forward.
"Bette? That was really sweet. Just so you know," she said, moving in behind the brunette and playing with her hair with a certain ease that Bette saw with a sort of jealousy, cherishing it all at once.
"What are you doing?" Her hair was still wet, and her nervousness peaked when Tina laid her hands on strong shoulders instead. It felt too good.

can’t tell you how much i’m loving this story, every time i log on i check to see whether you’ve posted! this chapter was so sweet, pps!
Beautiful. Love their play and tease lol Thank you for the treat.
I love the playful and romantic scene w/ B&T. Thank you for another post.
Love it! Sweet and gentle, beautiful..don’t make the sad ending, please! Tina’s finishing her uni soon? And what was the trigger for Bette to move into complete isolation, was it the death of the mother,or some significant event, did she went to uni? There are many Qs but think I’ll prefer your slow revealing through story:)) Wonder ehat will happen next;) Tnx for update!!!
They are so sweet together! PPS!
Le sigh…… :)
so beautiful…happy sigh :)
Damnit GR, you are the BEST! Love this story and love your writing. Thank you!!
GR you have got going in every chapter an eroticism that’s sometimes just faint and barely makes the surface, and then you skim and stir and spur and roll it into a throbbing succulence that is just so delicious. And then you snatch it back again. Tisk tisk. You are sending us to an early death GR.
i love your story GR, it felt like im watching a romantic movie everytime i read it..thank you :)
i love your story GR, it felt like im watching a romantic movie every time i read it..thank you :)
These characters are both so sweet and yet they both have an underlying sadness about them. I can’t help feeling that they know that they complete each other but they also know that they’re not going to be together for long. I hope I’m wrong. I’m making myself sad….
So very beautiful.
I just love this story and I too am afraid their uniting will be short lived, but I hope I’m wrong. PPS!!
Sweet and sad. Tina is full of life and Bette seems to clouded in darkness in bits not wanting to put herself fully out there and take a chance. I love Tina’s youthfulness and excitment, so many questions but will see how the story unfolds. Thank you!
yesss update soon pleaseeeee
You are so right, there has never been anything so wonderful while reading one of your stories. I am happy that they have an understanding of just how they feel for one another without a whole lot of words being required.
I just got back and caught up with this story. This is so wonderful! Thanks for writing it and posting!
What a sweet chapter
I adore your version of Tina. It reminds me of LH’s character in Myth of Fingerprints. Can totally picture it.This is so refreshing and I particularly like non canon stories when I can picture the characters within new scenarios. Their chemistry is so familiar and yet so unique in your own story. In fact its much more believable. TY!!!!
Oh, I just love them together – thank you! But I’m feeling sad, like Sammer. It is as if they both know they are completely right for each other but they also know that for some reason it’s just not going to be. Also like Sammer, I hope I’m wrong!
Just absolutely sweet and wonderful thank you.
Lovely chapter and yet a bit sad one. I’m adding my concerns to the others about why these two are acting like it’s their last day together and making everything about it? You wrote them so palpable that it aches to see them like that while at the same time their deep feelings to each other dig at the readers heart. What’s Bette doing for a living? Is her reading related to it? Will joyful and loving Tina be able to pull her out of her hermit life? Or will Bette end her self-introspection or whatever the reasons that brought her back to her mother’s house and act on the conclusion? Sometimes the fear of losing someone is the best kick arse in the worl! Read you very soon.
Great update, loved it so much. Rubber duckie and Sammer said exactly what I was thinking and feeling. There is an underlying sadness in their connection or almost connection. They are being playful with each other yet are holding back something of themselves and it won’t allow them to just let go to do and say what they are feeling for the other. For some reason, I feel that Bette did not have an opportunity to go to college in this story for whatever reason and she has hidden herself in her mother’s ancestral home where she doesn’t owe anyone any explanation for why she is there or came to be there and she doesn’t have to pay anything to be there. She is making do with whatever was found in the home. She was thinking that she would invest in a more comfortable sofa. Are her means of living so meager that she can not afford to have everything that she needs to live? I know so many questions and I know you will reveal them in due time. This is a most interesting story and it just becomes that more interesting with every chapter. I was hoping that if they went outside they would not see anyone or anyone see them and recognize Tina as being where she was not supposed to be. Thanks for posting.
Ditto what duckie said. Thank you GR. Moving on to the next :)
This is so great and they are so cute and wonderful !
