All that Glitters, is not Gold…Chapter 2
Previously:
Tina turned once more, taking one last look at the doors, that now separated her from the woman with whom she had shared the most incredible love she had ever known. And, as she walked down the corridor, and out of Barcelona international airport, she again thought back to that very similar good-bye from only eight months ago. At the time, she had believed with all her heart that she would indeed return to Helena, and that they would spend the rest of their lives together. But, when she made those promises to Helena, she had no idea that five months later, her life would be completely, and utterly turned upside down, by the most powerful force of nature she had ever known…all encapsulated in the stunning body of a woman, by the name of Bette Porter.
However, now that she had, Tina knew that whatever happened, she was going to break the heart of the incredible woman, who has been so lovingly, and patiently waiting for her in Palm Beach. “Oh God…how am I going to be strong enough to tell her the truth?” She wondered desperately.
Chapter 2
Tina wearily opened the door to the yellow and black Taxicab, and giving the driver her destination, laid her head back on the slightly faded black leather seats. She felt the cab pull away as she closed her eyes.
How ironic, she thought absently. Two different women…two different airports…two different countries. And even though she had felt the ache of leaving Helena behind eight months ago, the excruciating pain she felt today, as Bette left her, was unlike anything she had ever known.
Tina is brought out of her thoughts by the sound of a car horn blaring in the busy traffic. She looks out of the window, and notices a little girl holding onto her mothers hand, and smiles as she watches her drag her mother across the bustling street of Las Ramblas.
Immediately feeling the need to be a part of this scene, Tina taps the taxi driver on the shoulder. “Parada aqui si us plau.” Stop here please, she requests in Catalan. As she is pulling out her wallet she asks, “cuant val?” The taxi driver looks at his meter and replies, “dos mil pesetas.”

wow what great visuals.I love this story. i was just in Austria and saw swveral living statues. They were just as u described. i hope tina realizes that bette is what she wants and grandma will understand. post soon.
Wow what a difficult situation Tina’s in. I can’t wait to see how you guys are going to lay this out. Thanks!
Wow, just catching up, as usual. Great start, ladies! Although you did have me, in the first chapter. As soon as I saw Helena, I was already backing away from my computer. I mean, I love you two, but I can’t do Tina/Helena or Bette/Candace. I just can’t, sorry. But, luckily, my faith in your writings told me to endure, at least to the end of the chapter. And, just a glimpse of her name, I was able to compose myself, and settle into this incredible ride, which I know I’m in for. Thanks for sacrificing to do this. Believe me you’re more appreciated then you’ll ever know. Post soon, please.
Poor Tina…what will she do? Oh..and I will wait as long as I have to for the next chapter
I liked this chapter, although I have to admit that I am confused a bit. I thought Tina was flying back to Palm Springs in the last chapter to end things with Helena. Now she’s back in Spain and Bette is leaving?
Familial traditions and deathbed promises…all the makings of angst for Tina. I hope when all is said and done she will find a way to fulfill her grandmother’s promise with compromise.
Well done you two….blood is thicker than water you know…excellent.
What beauty….what style…what discription. I look forward to the rest. You both are great writers and sea you know how i feel about you. Kepp it up…you are wonderful writers……
I think this is a wonderful beginning to what can only be an amazing story. I must also say that I have been reading fanfic for almost a year and this is the first story that has compelled me to leave a comment. Again amazing start ladies and keep up the good work.
As I said to you in NY I am liking this story Sea.It was nice meeting you. I amazed to hear that you had started reading my story.I hope that you can find the time to ready it and let me know what you think.
Well this is taking off to a very different start! I like it Keep up the good work you two! Also We have A part Spanish Tina in this fic and a Bette who isn’t noticeably biracial in another. wowzers! Cant wait to see how this will go!
WOW!!! Ladies great story!! Looking forward to more chapters SOON!!!!! Like maybe tomorrow… hint, hint … what do you think? Any chance?
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
I just saw your comment.It is an honor that you are reading it.I hope you continue to do so.
I love anything you both write. Thanks for this story. Tina has to live for herself not for a promise made when she 14. I’m sure her grandmother only wanted Tina to be happy and thought she’d find that happiness in Spain (Bette)
Tina a Pujol i Pujol? No doubt she comes from a line of prouds catalans. Which year the present time part of the story is suppose to be happening? The reference to the old spanish currency confuses me. Anyway, have you thought about they getting married in Barcelona? That would be more than funny, that would be legal.
diffitcult situation and decision. which to choose? sometimes options aren’t much… post soon! i’ll stick to this one for sure!
ah exploring this side of life. family, honor, tradition, dignity and heritage. not many is written in this way. interesting. looking forward to more.
Honor is going to break her heart and bette’s for awhile!!!!!!!!!
Wish there could have been more chapters…:(
