Bette? Tina interrupted as she tried to look behind her. Without breaking her touch, Bette moved around from the head of the bed into Tinas view. There eyes met and Tina visibly relaxed turning her attention back to the doctor.
Yes, Bette, the doctor corrected, surprised to be using first names, was bringing you in for some tests and you fainted near the admit desk.
Near the metal detectors, Tina remembered turning her eyes back to Bette. I think I was saving you.
Bette smiled and nodded Im not sure if that was your plan from the beginning, but it was very effective. Once you collapsed, he completely forgot I had not passed the security screening. She tried to keep her voice even, not wanting Tina to sense her concern He even brought me back my accessories, she added, patting her gun that was now safely strapped into its holster.
Tina shook her head never taking her eyes from Bette. That wasnt exactly my plan, she said, fatigue quieting her words. I knew we needed to deploy the flattery will get you everywhere technique but I didnt want you to have to do it.
Without hesitating or thinking, Bette reached out with her free hand and tenderly brushed Tinas bangs from her eyes Thank you. was all Bette said as she let her touch pause just briefly to extend the contact.
Feeling as if she were intruding on a somehow intimate moment, Dr Harris picked up the chart at the end of the bed. Both women sighed almost in unison as the clicking of the doctors pen brought them back to this hospital, back to this room and back to the reality of this day.
Bette knew the previous moment had not been lost on the good doctor, but she chose to move on business as usual. Tina, she began. This is Dr. Stacey Harris, one of the finest trauma surgeons on the West Coast.
Tina nodded to the doctor and offered a small smile in greeting but she was clearly confused about the need for a trauma surgeon. Before she could give voice to her concerns Betted added She also was my college roommate and is now one of my very best friends, almost a part of the family.

Sox,
Absolutely awe inspiring!
The little details that you capture so well have made this a breath taking story. The elements of attraction have been selectively and seductively sneaked in. I am wearing a big cheesy and goofy grin at Tina’s declaration “But, I’m not gay.†I think she has denial, big time.
The way this story has developed with Bette potentially charging over the line just proves how much the heart can rule the head. And how when a chance at happiness comes your way you just have to grab it with both hands, hang on for dear life and be damned of the consequences. Usually there are many but if you are with your soul mate then any storm can be weathered.
I am sitting in purgatory, waiting for Bette’s response and the test results. Will Bette tell Tina that she was the intended victim? What is the murderer’s motive?
Given your talent and hard work, I am sure that these will be answered real soon.
Thank you for this tour de force.
Your Loyal Fan.
My mind has been working overti8me.was someone after Tina or her room mate? Why Tinas picture,was it a warning or what. I will wait for the next chapter. Thanks
“But, I’m not gay.” Oh my.
I guess I was the only one who knew she was str8, ok so I only thought that because she asked to be kissed, she sounded unsure of her self. so she has no family, but I think the foster care is the perfect set up for shane to come into your story. can’t wait to see what bette does not. and to find out what she was drugged with and what form was used.
A very great and interesting chapter. Thank you
soxey – I’m lovin’ the story.. well done! I’m a sucker for the “you’re the first woman I’ve kissed” Can’t wait to see where you’re taking them. -clammy
Great chapter as always, I wonder how Bette is going to tack the news about Tina not being gay and her being the first women she has ever kissed.
OK,,AS USUAL WONDERFUL JOB IN WRITING THIS CHAPTER, YOU ARE AMAZING..NOT GAY…(YEAH RIGHT)..PLEASE POST SOON, AND THANKS
I believe you are officially the protege of Katherine V Forrest……..great stuff.
“I’m not gay” My ass your not gay Tina, Bette would turn the straightest girl gay. I hope things start to work out and that Bette will find the basterd!!!!!!!!!!! Please post soon.

Great story, I can’t get enough! Keep writing!

Excellent Sox. Bette as a flawed character is much more interesting to me. Her emotional weakness makes her more real.
Well, I had a whole theory in my mind, but with Tina’s revelation… it kinda falls apart, lol.
Anyway, great chapter, but please, please, don’t turn it into a love story, keep the mystery coming too :)
But I know you’ll find a way to juggle with the two just fine ;)

Tell Mr. Sox that he can’t kick you off the computer…your fans await your next installment. Better yet let me send over one of my extra laptops. That way you can write anywhere. I simply love this story.
Great story. I like how your moving it along just enough without rushing it. I know Bette will get the guy, cos she’s gotta save Tina. Tina well, girl its too late now your on your way over to the other side. Looking forward to the next update.
OK I can’t wait to fine who is the SERIAL KILLER? Please continue Thanks.
I agree with cnick It’s Kate Delafield – but better. Tina will just have to remember that “resistance is futile”:0)
To me it seems perfectly reasonable that Tina has never kissed a woman before. The trauma that she has gone through and the fact that Bette has been her life line has to affect her feelings for the brunette. I am not saying that they wouldn’t have gotten together in other circumstance, but I think Tina’s willingness to be so open with Bette is because she has been so shockingly reminded how fragile life is. That’s my take, and Sox I am like a broken record, your skill is amazing.
That was great!
