She would never understand my love for her – this goddess. I watched her sleep as I touched her face more gently than my fingers were usually capable. I knew I was unworthy. Unworthy of her.
With soft, blond hair that swept around her face, not quite touching her shoulders, she was a vision. Her skin was like porcelain – her smile present even without intention.
But she was forbidden.
She laid on my couch, unknowing of my feelings for her. Had she understood any of my desires and feelings, she would never have come to me. She would never have asked to sleep on my couch.
This woman deserved to be treated better, and I felt it so strongly that I couldn’t even cry. What right did I have – after the way I’d treated so many other women? Surely they’d had admirers like myself. Surely they’d deserved better, but all I could think of was her. All I could touch was her, knowing that the innocent embrace was all that this life would ever allow me. I could never have her like I wanted. Like I needed. So I just watched her sleep.
I pull my hand back, embarrassed that I need her so desperately. If she were to wake and find me this way, my secret would be discovered. But I knew she was a deep sleeper from her many jokes. From the years I’d known her. From all the time I’d been kept away – been keeping myself away, more like.
With each smile she gave to her lover, I felt the world was betraying me. With every hug to her girlfriend, she was leaving me again. I was reminded of my own bitter heartache. A heartache I prayed she would never know.
“Mmm …” she sighed, turning the other way, bringing her delicate hands up as if the sofa would hold her back. I would have done anything for her, but I sat foolishly. Jealous of my furniture. I put both hands in my lap, wanting to cry at the jealousy I also had over my friend. My best friend.
I wanted her to help me – to show me in some small way that I could hold her for more than a fleeting moment, but I knew that would never be the case. Time was cruel, torturing me with her presence as I was forced to go on without her.

I knew it was Shane from the title and summary, the group was pretty small, Alice and Dana had their own issues, Jenny and Marina and Robin had a bad triangle going, and Kit had her thing with Ivan. I used to think that Shane would never really do anything to hurt any of her friends until the end of season 5, when she did, without a second thought. So looking back seeing Shane as she is now, Tina would not be off limits to Shane if she felt like she wanted her. Happy New Year!
I loved this what if GR. Maybe you could go on with it? I know it’s a short but I’m just curious to whats in your mind. Thank you : )
BTW happy new year!!!!
Knew it was Shane from start, it’s quite common fantasy, although I can’t see it and quite don’t like it,still love anything you write;) I personally always tought Shane had a thing for Bette, something between adoration and in love. And from B’s side something like motherly/sisterly love. But as I said, great story, you write them soo well;) tnx for posting and happy New Year!;))
The heart knows what the heart knows! This story for me I found to be very emotional and appropriate as we are only hours away from bringing in the New Year. I agree the fictional couple Bette and Tina are the favorite for many. If I would question why they were favored the most. I am certain many would give the same response, because they are sensuous, attractive, successful, intelligent women. This is not to imply that the other characters did not have similar appealing qualities. However, due to my experience regarding this subject matter, I understand you or should I say I feel you! So my point is this, the truth is what sets us all free to be our true selves. GrindRight, thank you and please keep posting your stories, your writing has truly inspired me, and I imagine others to want to tell their stories. Happy New year to you as well!
It’s hard not to love Tina. I can see it. Happy New Year!
Totally possible. I think Tina was actually Shane’s ideal girl in the show and was the prototype for Molly.
Wonderful writing! Thank you.
Sad but I love your writing.
I’ve always loved your stories. This one is a favorite of mine and I am so glad that you have chosen to update. I love possibilities. And, like you, my favorite couple is Bette and Tina. But I love the way you write. When I read your stories, I know that I will be going on an emotional journey. Sounds corny but I tend to forget who the players are. I am just so immersed in the scenes that play out. I’ve read tons of Bette and Tina stories and have loved them. An occasional, “What if..” isn’t going to hurt. Looking forward to the next episodes.
