Playing By Heart
Chapter 33
Bette’s Kitchen
When Bette felt the soft, supple lips brush gently against hers, she set her coffee cup down so she could free both hands. She placed them over Tina’s at either side of her on the counter.
Tina wasn’t sure if she drew her newfound boldness from the phone conversation with Dana which reminded her of work persona or from Bette’s insecure apology.
The kiss was chaste and innocent. Once the distinctive sound of a soft smack of lips signaled the end of the lingering peck, they both opened their eyes to look into one another’s.
They inhaled at the same time. Both could feel their hearts pounding and wondered if the other could hear the echoing thumps that resonated through their entire physical beings.
Tina smiled at Bette before breaking their gaze and slipping her right hand out from under Bette’s left. She traced her finger along Bette’s arm where her iPod pouch had left an imprint from being strapped securely on the mocha-colored skin. The raised goosebumps caused by Tina’s sweeping, feathery touch made the blonde’s smile bigger and made Bette instinctively flex the muscle.
“Am I tickling you?” Tina asked softly.
“No,” Bette denied quickly with a crimson blush.
It made Tina breathe a melodious giggle to see Bette start to unravel. Time to pour on the charm, the blonde told herself. “Well, to answer your question, a couple of dinners and maybe a lunch could persuade me to forgive you for your presumptiveness.”
Bette grinned at the blonde’s forwardness. “That’s quite a lot of persuasion I’m going to have to undertake.”
“I’m not easily swayed.”
The brunette looked at Tina with a suspicious eye and one raised eyebrow. “My persuasion technique is pretty powerful.”
“I guess you’re just going to have to prove it.”
Oh, I will, Bette thought.
Tina took a step back to gather her purse and shoes. Bette followed her every move with her eyes.
“So are you saying I’m not forgiven yet?”
Tina turned back around. She just looked at Bette with a hint of playfulness. Her eyes involuntarily traveled down the length of the well-maintained physique still propped against the kitchen counter.

Very nice update indeed. I feel I could cry I´m so proud of you – no cliffie!
Good to see that you are ok and hope you get better soon. That was great and hope Bette and the band not like jodi. Now let see Bette call Tina. Glad to catch up with your story and love and can’t wait to see more, please post soon, thanks.
Such a great story.Thank you very much for the update.Tina did the right thing kissing Bette.Glad you are feeling better.PPS
Thanks MeLL! :-) glad you are much better, and happy that our girls seeing the lights now :-) so they are about meeting Jodi then.. I hope Bette not swing towards her as in IC’s version :-( … If it does so, do me a favor to put the warning first, ok? Even after being trained to do so much hanging (by … … you of course! :-p) I don’t think my tender heart can take a blow on this matter ;-) lol
So lovin’ this story. Total fun.!!!! pps
Love the story. Just want someone to drop jodie and nadia into the Pacific Ocean with concrete boots on. Great chapter. Thanks.
Glad you are feeling better. Enjoyed the update and I love scene with Bette and Tina. Too cute
You have a great touch w/humor. Dialogue is very realistic. You seem to have a positive attitude. Feeling 55% good is only a little more than 50-50 and you make it seem much higher than that. That’s a good way to think.
Well played by Tina! Would’ve made her feel good to sabotage Jodi, but it most likely would’ve killed any chance she had for a personal relationship with Bette. You’re over the 50% mark; great news. Now you just gotta get back to 100%. Thanks for another great update!
