A Slow Dance – Chapter 6
Tina didn’t even realize she had made the slip. She wasn’t going to tell him about her and Bette, but once she got talking about the woman who yanked her out of reality, she lost the ability to censor herself. She seemed to lose a lot of things when Bette was involved.
Tina stared back at Eric with the same intensity as was aimed at her. "Yes. She. Bette Porter."
Eric’s pupils widened slightly in shock. "How…when…since when were you a *****? And why wasn’t I informed before all this?"
Tina laughed at his question. She leaned against the table now, her mood less serious. "About five days ago, Eric. And I would’ve informed you prior to this if I knew what had been going on myself. And I’m not a *****."
Eric squinted his eyes at this last statement. "Then what are you?"
"In transition."
"What the ***** is that supposed to mean?" Eric squirted the lemon into his water and continued to stare at Tina questioningly.
"It means that I’m not *****, but I’m not straight. I’m in between. I don’t know what I am right now, Eric. It’s only been five days. What did you expect? Bette kisses me, I kiss her back, and then we go to the kryo bank and live happily ever after? Jesus, Eric, I may be *****, but I’m not a fool. We’re taking it slow and seeing where it goes. If I stay with Bette, then I stay with Bette, and if I don’t then I don’t. Whether I’m ***** or straight shouldn’t matter here. It’s what I feel that does matter. And I don’t feel anything for anyone but Bette at the moment."
Eric just stared at his ex in awe as she sipped her water casually. "You’re something else, you know that? This is why I fell in love with you."
Tina smiled amusedly. "Why? Because I’m subconsciously into women?"
He scoffed. "No. Because you’re so direct with what you feel. You don’t try to justify it, and you don’t beat around the bush about who you are. Excuse the pun."
Tina snorted slightly and laughed to herself. "Excused."
"What I mean, Tina – I love you because you know who you are and what you want and you don’t let anyone stand in your way when it comes to getting it. But you’re also incredibly compassionate, and you have a sense of humor about yourself. Like when you rip someone to pieces, for example."

My favorite line is this particular chapter…
“If I stay with Bette, then I stay with Bette, and if I don’t then I don’t. Whether I’m gay or straight shouldn’t matter here. It’s what I feel that does matter. And I don’t feel anything for anyone but Bette at the moment.”
Go TINA Go!!!

You can NOT be nineteen! But, hey, if you are, “Hey, Nineteen.” (That was a really cool song released a few years before you were born by Steely Dan…about an over thirty dude who meets a 19-year-old and has nothing in common with her but attraction.) But I digress.
Get ready for a semi-mega comment. If I can stop laughing. I’ve been laughing for at least 45 minutes since I tuned into your Author’s Notes. You are so f++king funny!!!
You have way too much talent…If I was an agent I’d be snapping you up and making my 15% off you pronto. Watch out for the vultures in your future.
Am I the only one who thinks Eric wanting to eat a fish dish is funny? And he orders Tina chicken? Braaack, braaack, braack, braack!!! She really is a (I hate the word lesbian) gay lady. In transition, my ass!
I am so, so , so pleased you appreciated my free association last time. Thanks for sharing the same page with me. It gets lonely sometimes.
And you’re right…no offense taken…I actually love being over thirty. Just wanted to kinda play with you a bit. Never expected an apology. If you’d given one, then I’d been offended. So there!! Backatcha!
I just really love this story and the way you write it! So, when you gonna get Bette and Tina “entangled?”
I’m really enjoying this…except for typing in this little box! Get on with your bad self!!
“I’m in transition”. Well it will be over soon and you’ll be Bette’s. Finally Eric as a decent guy. Nice update, no major drama, just life moving forward. NOw off to Bette.
