All the Small Things–Chapter 1
“You bet your white ass it does.”
“But she needs a place to stay in, and you’ve already helped her dispose of the jerk, so why not have her room in with you for a while, as she’s looking for a place of her own?” Alice replied. “Look, Bette, she needs a friend. And she’s pretty. Who knows?”
“Yeah, she’s beautiful.” Bette said, before she can stop herself.
“I thought so.” Alice said, smiling smugly. “You always had a thing for blondes.”
“Shut up.”
“Just sayin’.” Alice replied, holding her hands up in surrender. “Come on.”
Alice and Bette went back to their table and took their seats. Tina now looked calmer than she did a few minutes before. Shane and Dana obviously did a world of good for her and even bought her a drink to nurse her current misery. Bette sighed.
“Tina,” Bette asked delicately. The blonde looked up at her. “You can stay at my place if you want. I could probably use a housemate right now.”
“Wait, how did you know my name?” The blonde asked.
“Tina, don’t you remember me?” Shane asked. “It’s Shane. From WAX. You had an appointment with me last week. I, uh, cut your hair.”
“Oh,” Tina exhaled, settling into her chair. “Yeah. Hi. They’re your friends?”
“Yeah.” Shane said. She then gestured to the rest of the table. “This is Alice Pieszecki, she’s a writer. And Dana Fairbanks, pro tennis player. Last but not the least, this is Bette Porter. She’s a part-time lecturer at the Art School at CU?” Shane asked, and when Bette nodded, she continued. “Yeah. CU. She also teaches at UCLA. And she owns the Bette Porter Gallery.”
Tina shook hands with all of them and smiled at Bette.
“I’ve heard of you,” Tina said thoughtfully, through tears. “Eric talks about you all the time. He’s a big art collector. We’ve been to your gallery thrice since we got here.”
Bette smiled. The blonde got hurt, and still she’s the one handing out the compliments. She put her hand on Tina’s back and started smoothing it out like her mother used to do whenever she got sad or felt lonely. It seemed to be working, because Tina relaxed into her touch. Meanwhile, Alice, Dana, and Shane were looking at the two of them with great interest. For the better part of two years, all they ever did was hook Bette up with some art collector, some sculptor, or even the art teacher who taught Helena’s kids. Bette never responded to them in the way that she was responding to Tina. For all of Tina’s distress, Bette appeared to be calm around her. More alive. Human. The three of them could sense the connection right away.

i always love to read B&T beginnings, especially ones w/ a twist on their meet-up & this one is really interesting….so i’m hoping that T is already feeling the attraction to B and that explains why she would have a problem w/ B bringing home “dates”….also what kind of a reaction was she looking for from B to the idea of her bringing back a man…and what was her reaction to B’s “non-reaction?” Thx & PPS :)
I like this story very much. You are an amazing writer.
great story plzzzzzzzzzz keep it going, thnx
This is so different,Eric should have his a&& kicked for hitting a woman. Didnt find out what kind of work Tina did. Bette is going to make her pay for her keep. Alice is Alice and needs to kmow every ones business.
Catchy start. Its funny how Tina set the date rule at Bettes house.
This is good writing. An unusual slant, keep going!
this is a nice different interesting beginning. Look forward to more!
Yes, I really like this new look at BT beginning. I’m a little incredulous that they became “roommates” so quickly, but I am suspending disbelief because it’s so much fun.
I love this!!
very interesting…can’t wait for more!
Interesting twist having Bette share her home with Tina. I wonder how long it will be before one of them admits their feelings. :)

This is good, different at least tina isn’t with eric!! she is very trusting to move in with bette. lets see how long before she get comfortable! :)
wow… this is an amazing start..please continue…I love this beginning:)YAY!
That is a lovely start, hope their friendship will turn blssom into romance soon.
Its a different start but it works for me. I think Tina just really didn’t want Bette with someone else. How can it be okay for her to bring someone home, but not Bette. It is Bette’s house.
nice start… please continue
This is good start and like it. Please post more, thanks!
Great start…T’s telling Bette the house rules?? She’s game!!!! PPS.
