The ringing of Bette’s cell phone jolted Tina awake. It was on the table beside the bed, where Bette reached to shut it off immediately. Tina’s eyes fluttered to the clock, which showed two hours had passed. She wanted to stay awake, to watch Bette as Bette seemed to be watching her, sitting on the other bed, with her laptop open but her eyes elsewhere.
Tina struggled to wake, but the struggle was intense. And it didn’t help that Bette’s voice floated towards her in the dark. “Go back to sleep,” she whispered.
Tina murmured softly without opening her eyes. “I want to be done with sleeping.”
“But you’re not,” Bette said back, just as softly.
“I’m afraid I’m going to wake up and you’ll be gone.” Tina didn’t know she had the fear until she’d spoken it. Wait, that wasn’t true. She just didn’t know she’d speak it.
Her eyes opened, meeting Bette’s, who looked mildly dismayed. But still spoke softly. “Tinasweetie” she said, surprising herself with the endearment. And compensating immediately. “I’m not going to leave you while you’re sleeping, ok?” She paused. “But we both know at some point I won’t be here. And neither will you.”
“But I will,” Tina insisted groggily, raising and moving one elbow beneath her. The tone of resolution in Bette’s voice was unnerving. Unnerving if you’re lying half-naked in the woman’s bed, in your life but outside of it, contingent in undetermined ways. Tina couldn’t help her thoughts: Oh right, I’m supposed to rest, then *****, feel nothing in particular about it (while feeling everything in sum), get dressed in my same lousy work uniform, walk to my car in the cold, drive home and forget about it. Of course I am.
The mental inventory told her that her voice had been pathetic, whiny, a little desperate. She could hear Bette’s voice again-the opposite of desperate-telling her not to kill the *****. But suddenly that whole thing seemed flirty and not real. What, or rather who, was really going to get killed here if they managed to eschew all reasoning and make mad passionate love? I mean, seriously. And what about that ***** earlier? Did Bette always act that out of control when someone was giving it to her through her clothes? Was that just par for the course? Tina didn’t have a large ego, but she’d be stupid not to admit that it hadn’t seemed like something Bette did, or felt, all the time. It seemed intense, perhaps meaningful. Was it just because it didn’t, or couldn’t, mean anything? Contents under pressure and exploding? Context all?

Pancha has a point. B&T being together as more than just brief fuck buddies may be easier said than done at this time. I do believe that sometimes they are circumstances than can keep 2 people meant to be together apart until everything falls into place. Can’t wait to see how this ends. And should it not end on a happy note, will they always have Detroit?
OK, I live in Michigan and I would go!!! Ha-ha! I saw hope too and now I really don’t for these two. I do want them to be together as much as anyone but it would be hard to uproot your entire life for someone you don’t really know! Just let them have their time in peace, let them be together every second until Bette has to leave. BTW, if Tina was here in Detroit, well, I would love the snow a lot more!
Is this why most girls don’t do one nighters?? Your premise is amazing, I am hooked!
good lord help them!! rather LG help them!!
OMG – I’m so caught up in this story. Hardly getting on with the preps for Christmas, but hoping you’ll keep the chapters coming fast.
Ditto. =D
WOW, PLEASE DON’T LET TINA LEAVE..BETTE NEEDS TO TELL TINA TO COME BACK TO LA WITH HER…POST SOON.PLEASE
The only problem I have with this story is that it’s too short, other than that I think this fuckingfantablous!!! This is one of the best stories on the site right now!!!
one more thing…I don’t think they should walk off into the sunset as YET, like i said before, it should be like several months later or so.
I agree with xhawg52. Your storytelling abilities are outstanding. You must be a professional writer. I look for your story first when I scroll through the day’s listings. How you evoke such emotion and thought in a short post is remarkable.
smiley got this one. I am so hooked on this story and I don’t think you could post enough to keep me from having withdrawals. I hope you continue this story for a very long time. thanks
Even if I don’t feel any hope now and I will really hate to see Tina leave… I read and love everything that you write! Its genious and the angst is what we LOVE the most! I trust (since the 1st chapter)that you always have a great story to tell. Even if you always post way-to-short chapters that drive us nuts with anticipation! I ditto most of the posts here… this has become my favorite story.
you are killing me here!!!! this is great writing. Please write soon
I’m about to rip my hair out! Just give in, girls! Lay down the guard, be a little vulnerable, have a super-duper time, fall in love, yadda-yadda…YAY! for Luvrgirl. Still a great story.
Isn’t Tina in some H&R management program with the hotel chain and is ready to move on to the next phase … let’s say in LA?
Post soon, need to see what will come of this. Bette needs to get a ticket for Tina to LA
sray u know u want too
This is good!
I totally agree with pancha305…can’t wait for more
Great chapter. Looking forward to more.
This is fascinating and I look forward to every chapter.
This story evokes a great deal of thought. Of course, most readers want B&T together. However, the people in your story are not only strangers, they live half a continent apart.Does Tina pull up roots and go to a new city with a woman she doesn’t know?And first, does Bette invite Tina to come home with her? Tina is a virtual stranger and serious problems can easily develop with such a house guest.And then, there’s the “what if” stuff. What if Tina wants Bette to stay in the D? What if Bette and/or Tina already have a girlfriend, boyfriend, spouse, children?
This has turned into my favorite story on the site. I look forward to every chapter you post. Great job!
talk about powerful emotions involved in this supposed one night stand. *Yikes* Keep them coming
I really like this story. Thank you for sharing it with us :-)
no, don’t go…where’s the glimpse of hope i got last time? just move to LA, tina, it’s that easy
This is killing me. I was so hoping they would get together or face the realization that it was possible. So much angst, so much emotion. Let them admit it to each other please. thanks for the post.
