Playing By Heart
Chapter 31
The Stouts’ Front Porch – Bette’s Point of View
After my salubrious run, I bent over in front of the neighbors’ house and rested my hands on my knees as I caught my breath. My earbuds began playing the synth-pop melody of Pete Townshend’s “Let My Love Open the Door,” as I felt beads of sweat run down my neck that started at my hairline.
I stood upright again and laced my fingers to the back of my head slowly walking off the burning in my leg muscles so as to cool down. By this time, the keyboards of the song had kicked in followed closely by the cymbals, then the drums.
I made my way up the walkway towards the girls’ door. By the time I reached the front step and lifted my fist to knock, Pete was already pleading in my ear:
Let my love open the door,
Let my love open the door,
Let my love open the door to your heart.
When nobody answered after a few seconds, I knocked a couple more times. Plucking one of the buds from my ear by the white cord, I could faintly hear a set of footsteps coming closer to the door.
Rather than pay attention to who may have been approaching through the three glass slits on the wooden door, I looked out across the street waiting for my greeter to open it. As soon as I heard the deadbolt unlatch, I turned around with a smile.
Who I found on the other side of the door was such an unexpected, albeit pleasant, surprise, that I couldn’t muster up the ability to speak when I saw her check me out from head to toe. My smile was replaced by a slightly gaping mouth.
Tina was standing in the same outfit she had worn the night before in a more disheveled form. Her face was slightly swollen from waking up just moments before, I’m sure. Her left cheek was imprinted with the cross-stitch pattern from Alice’s couch cushion. And that blonde mess of hair tousled from the previous night’s alcohol-induced slumber topped off the most adorable sight I could ever remember seeing. I could easily wake up to this every morning.

O god!! Leaving off there was just cruel!!!! I hope the next post is on it’s way!!
Ok girl, I loved the two chapters and I totally appreciate it. But another damn cliffy. You are feeling better to be so cruel ….again. Loved it and glad you are feeling better.
Here we go again. Now I was considering sharing with you the mixture to end all ails, but being cliffed twice in one post! The signs are there, the bug is leaving and the cruel fanfic writer reappears.
Gosh yes, I’ll take anything I can get with these two. lol Off to read now.
It was wonderful to have an early morning double post thank you and glad to hear you’re getting there health wise.
wow thanks meloves sue. :)
Oh no! … Why do you stop here MeLL? … >_< looks like the timing of Dana's intermezzo is rubs off on you or vice versa? :-p... I knew it's the last page when clicked on page7, so I prepared myself to an end of the chapter but I didn't expected it would be that short... And so cliffy too! Dang! :-D your story is so good, and this pov is so cute! He3.. Take care and PPS when you can! :-) thanks!
Giving us such hard times by holding the moment there!!!!!Poor life. Love it….
Glad you feeling better and thank you for the updates.Finally another kiss.Love you story.PPS
Damn girl what excellent writing. Just reading this makes me go thru all sorts of emotions. Thank you for this story and I hope you’re feeling better.
Ok…did someone say test drive! AWESOME! Who knew Bette would be so willing to let somenone else get behind the wheel of her baby. I think that’s pretty telling about how she really feels about Tina (even if she hasn’t admitted it to herself yet). As for the little cliffhanger…thx…NOT! Come on, I’m dying. how will Bette react…taking tina right to bed works for me (LOL). And what about the lunch meeting w. Jodi; will Bette tell Tina about it? So many questions. PPS! Great update.
Wow, loved it. I am a happy camper now. They are getting the awkwardness out of the way and that is great for all us TiBette fans. Great update. Thanks for posting.
After we showed you compassion and concern, you leave us hangin’?
Aww so cute and funny
