And it Started With a Phone Call Chapter 31
Bette placed the box in Tina’s hands and spoke.
"I know we haven’t been together very long," she began. "But having you away this weekend made me realize how much I really do love you. I enjoy waking up in the morning and being able to reach out and have you there. I don’t even mind trading places with you in front of the mirror when we’re both trying to get ready to go to work. Waking up in the middle of the night and being able to make love to you was like a dream coming true. Open the box. It’s something for you."
Tina’s fingers tentatively reached to undo the ribbon around the box that Bette had placed in her hands. Her progress was agonizingly slow as she pulled the ribbon off and placed it in one long strand on the bed. She carefully removed the tape that held the tissue paper around the box, so as to preserve the paper for possible future use. Bette wanted to be impatient, but realized such meticulous actions were only part of what had made her fall so head over heels in love with the woman that sat beside her. Tina pulled the tissue paper from around the box and smoothed it out on her lap before setting it beside the ribbon. She held the bottom of the box with one hand as she removed the lid with the other.
Inside were two keys, resting side by side on a plain white handkerchief.
Bette reached for one key and gripped it between her right thumb and index finger before she spoke.
"This, is a key to my house," she began. "I want it to be your key to our house. I would like you to consider moving in with me." Tina wanted to speak, but words failed her. Bette then replaced the first key and picked up the second. "This represents the key to my heart. You have wound your way into my life and I never want to let you go." She then reached for Tina’s hand and held up Tina’s pinky finger before she finished what she wanted to say. "And yes indeed, I’m wrapped around this little finger of yours and I hope to stay there for a long time to come."

I think it’d be normal to have periods of angst in between or even silly things happened… hee hee
JKS,
How do you do it? How do you continue to top each chapter with the next one?
I completely enjoyed the sizzling sexiness of their primal reconnection after their enforced absence.
I have had to loosen my clothes as my body is overheating just reading the screen. May need to shower and change before I collapse from heat exhaustion.
Damn gal; that was some mighty fine narration.
As for the angst, yes it has to join the party too because only by experiencing the bad can you ever hope to know the good. Life is the yin and yang, the ups and the downs, the peaks and troughs, the successes and the failures therefore must be included in the amazing work. What will get me through is the hope and knowledge that good times will follow the bad.
Do your worst!
I will wait for every adventure you care to write and share.
Your Loyal Fan.
Ah give them some time to enjoy it! (don’t they have 7 years before the Angst hits?)
great as usual!!! I love this story! no angst…. or not anything big please! its such a romantic sweet thing, dont let anything bad happen to B&T
JKS that was awesome. please let them be happy a little longer lmao. dont need more angst
Oh no not……..ANGST?
I’m with Nanc…and I can’t think of a better person to write it than you. But, go wherever you feel you need to.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I’d say they missed each other…just a little.
Based on the crap that was doled out in season two, I say they are entitled to a bit of fun.
However, with that said – it will be different living together. You lose some of that novelty feeling, your investment when you argue changes because you don’t have your own place to go to when you argue, etc. But all of those things are repairable.
Nice reconnection, JKS. Very nice.
Angst is scary to think about but at this point I am so freaking happy just by reading this that I don’t even know if angst can bring me down. That was so romantic and beautiful!!! God if only I could find someone like Bette sigh I loved this chapter! Can’t wait for more
Fins, I’m not sure what you mean about repeating yourself, I thought the chapter was brilliant!!! The Bette Porter you give breath to is magnificent, cool, confident…love it! I love that Bette admits to being wrapped around Tina’s finger…there is something so romantic about that! Thanks for the great chapter…please write soon…
And now a word from our sponsors…ok, I just felt like saying that, but I wanted to make comments to other FF readers and writers…
TECHGAL: I agree, did a house fall on FlairfortheDramatic?!!? Poor Sara is in her room, on her deathbed, probably pining for Bette, and we all know where she is!!! And speaking of MIA’s, where is GIASONY????? Come on NOW, how long must we wait!!!
Foreplay’s over baby, I wanna make you scream…” Oh yeah!!! Lets not have too much angst, okay???
you are not going to make this easy on us are you? great chapter
Great chapter as always and that sex scene…excuse I’m blushing…oh and…
SNQQPY: It’s more like…”It’s gettin’ hot in HER!” LOL
Another great posting, JKS. Not too much angst, please. A little is okay. Thanks.
Keep the glee! No problems in their future!
no angst! unless it leads tome great make up sex. this chapter was SIZZLING!
Angst? Did you just threaten us with ANGST? Argh. I’m not sure if my fragile heart can take it! LOL. This was wonderful as always. :)
This is the Bette Porter I’m talkin’ about! In love and unafraid to say and show it! The way Bette asked Tina to move in was so much better than anything she and Alice brainstormed, I’m sure.
The ‘L’ word and then the ‘S’ word and then the ‘Mutual-Double-O’ word.
The trifecta has been hit.
Ix-nay on the angst. Who needs angst? Make this story an angst-free zone, please! I’m sure these two had several years of bliss before anything went awry.
Alas, poor Eric, I knew him well…
Bring on the angst!! If only to show that the two love each other enough to work through it. Great story!!
I’m down to the ‘roses on the table’ part.
Poor Eric! I wonder what he’s doing with himself now.
Isn’t that a strange thought at a time like this? Bette and Tina are in their own wonderful new-love world, and nobody else matters. Isn’t it just a bit sad for the ones who got left behind?
Oh, nevermind… brb
I just finished Steph’s story, refreshed and voila! There you are! Magnificent!
I should go play the lotto! brb…
bring on the dyke drama! LOL. however, happy stuff is good too… whatever. just make sure u keep writing! i cant get enough of this story! :P
NO, NO! Let them be happy, do not bring the “C” or “H” into the story. Let’s just pretend they don’t exist, and live happily ever after please! Love the story, keep it coming.
gawd techie where do you come up with this shit so late at night. im having a hard enough time just staying awake.

We’ve had Steph. We’ve had your newest chapter. All we need is another from Greentea and I will be in fanfic heaven!
One can only hope!
Where is Flair for the Dramatic? Poor Sara has been on her deathbed for a month! I guess she doesn’t want to do her in. Someone should put out an APB!
I could read a lot more bliss……..seems like this is the only place to see Bette and Tina happy and in love. Thanks for writing JKS!!!
Its getting’ hot in here
(so hot)
So take off all your clothes
I am getting’ so hot, I wanna take my clothes off
ahh, so refreshing,angst huh, pls make it managable, i can only take so much
I just wanted to let you know that somewhere in the middle of this chapter I needed to go for a glass of Coke with ICE! lol
alot more glee glee glee glee happy happy happy no bad no bad lol i like haopy lol ok well please continue i love the story no matter what lol ok well thanx byeness<3387923598723589
JKS…. there is enough ANGST around here… no more… just do what you have been doing
“…how much more glee can these two take…?” Plenty, I hope!
TechGal did have an interesting idea: an angst-free zone.
We see so much of the angsty moments on the show… would we be content with a B&T universe where they were sometimes embarrassed, shy, distracted, etc. but never in deep emotional pain brought on by the other?
I’d be really interested to see the kind of feedback you’d get if you gave your readers ‘B&T’s Blissful 1st Year’.
Come to think of it, a fic like that would actually help explain how B&T could be so committed to getting back together in all these other stories on the web where the angst would drive any normal couple apart forever. Those tales would make more sense if we *knew* that they had once had nirvana with each other.
What an incentive to keep trying no matter what the obstacle; who wouldn’t want to regain a perfect state of bliss?
Another great chapter as always..Good way to send me off…Have a good week..
Wonderful as always, that was very hot also. No need for angst lol. Love this.
I can think of a few places you could take them …. ? ; ) …… I am quite sure you need not, my imagination in your creation : )
I read this during my lunch break, … never again I nearly asphyxiated on my salad lettuce !! Given I am the First Aider in our Building – Well it could have been a tragic fatality !! LOL !
I think you are a brilliant writer, and this chapter was once again, a superb addition to your repertoire. Thank you
Well now there are many kinds of angst… right JKS? It doesn’t all have to be that BIG DRAMA kind of stuff. There are so many little things in life that can bring it on, right? Can you hear the pleading in my voice? :)
Angst, we don’t need no stickin angst. WE’ve had enough and they’ve definitly had enough. Can we just take some time to let those two love each other. I only wish I got 1/2 of that kind of welcome when I go home after 4-days. Damn, I gotta go have a cigerette.
Damn so awesome, Bette is so romantic and asked Tina to move in with her is so beautiful, and the love scene is so hot and sexy, love it. Let see what’s next, thanks!
I vote for heavenly bliss myself – angst is ok for a while as long as it is repairable – make up sex is sometimes the best :) :)
nicely done- thanks for the update!
