    Author Notes:

    Tina wants to bite her tongue, Bette gets lots of news, and James goes fishing.

    Tina looked away, afraid or was she embarrassed to meet Bettes eyes? She tried to think of something, anything to say so that her last inane, immature comment didnt continue to live and breathe between them.

    Im not *****, youre the first woman Ive ever kissed, Tina repeated to herself. She shut her eyes tightly, trying to determine how something that had just happened a moment ago, could already feel like such a bad memory, one that she would look back on and regret for years to come.

    She finally gathered the nerve to look back at Bette, when they were both startled by a knock on the door.

    Youre still awake? Dr. Harris asked as she entered the room, carefully eyeing each woman wondering why Bette had never left the room to find her. Bette was leaning on the railing of the bed, still holding Tinas hand tightly to her chest.

    Tina wasnt sure whether she was grateful or annoyed at the interruption. Right now, feelings rushed through her like polar opposites, pushing and pulling in all directions.

    She was so attracted to Bette, but then she was afraid of what that attraction meant. She was so afraid, yet felt so safe when Bette was near. She was so horrified at the days events, but so grateful that those same events brought Bette into her life. She wanted to step up and take control of her situation, but then she was content to lean on Bette, finding her strength in her.

    Tina shook her head, hoping the jumbled thoughts and feelings would fall into place. She finally took the path of least resistance and responded to the doctor. I am still awake, but its only because Bette has been such good company, she extended an olive branch, wondering if, after her comment, Bette would take it

    She felt Bettes hands tighten on her own, and couldnt help but meet her eyes. Tina gasped at what she found there.

    Instead of cool rejection, she found warmth. Instead of irritation, she found acceptance. Instead of planning an escape, Tina saw the overwhelming desire in Bette to stay, here with her. Bette’s soul could not have spoken her intent any more clearly than if she had used words.

    2. Wow sox, I love the friendship with Stacey – someone helping Bette process her needs awesome. Waiting for more even though you have a life. Thanks for creating this and sharing it. ~ bfan

      L-O-V-I-N-G T-H-I-S!!
      Thank you for posting each one so soon, u know ur actually helpin me through my exams! well done u and the greater good! lol

    4. ok now my mind is off and running, have so many question you have to answer, and bette needs to start doing her job, or they can count tina out of this case. so marcey must of come home early?? and the special shoes could be a nurse or a doctor or sometype of kicthen staff, and if they were drugged it would be easy for a women to be the killer, which I think you should make it a women, and I think it should be jenny lmao, as you can tell I’m not really of fan of hers, oh and she did kick ass on 24 so she has skillz.
      Can’t wait until the next chapter, and can I have a key to bette’s house too lol

    7. Absolutely fabulous. You have managed to paint Bette as a well rounded character in no time. Bobbie? – looking forward to hearing about their relationship.

    9. “I was so worried about Tina, I don’t remember flushing”, one thing: eww. lol
      Great chapter, as usual, keep writing and I’ll keep leaving comments :)
      xxx

    15. This is so terrific…I am always at the edge of my seat when I read your fic. You have a really great writing style and can really maintain the pace. I can’t wait for the next chapter!

    16. Absolutely wonderful writing. You have me signing on to check for updates from home, usually I’m just on-line at work. This has to be the one of the very best stories posted here….you MUST promise to see it to completion…please…please…please…..

    17. It’s that male nurse!! Ohhh your going to have us all guessing all the way along….Totally love this story, poor Tina how very sad, thank goodness she has found bette….tks again for 2 chpts!!!! YEA…

    20. such a compelling story line. the delicacy that you use to weave the details together is absolutely tantalizing. And in my completely unsolicited opinion, this story flat out rocks. Why have I visited this site three more times today to see if another installment has been posted. In the words of Julia Roberts “well done!”

    21. OMG… i read every word and every chapter last night at work… my god girl this is great… i can feel the tension… i love it… so this bastard was after tina… and marcy came home first… he fucked up… he didn’t know she had a roommate… he will be back to finish the job… bette better be watch her… this guy is crazy and this will be haw they get him./… his obsesion is now to get tina… by stuffing her picture in marcy mouth… so he will be back…
      i am sorry i can’t leave comment when i read at work… but thank god i can still read these great stories at work…

      please continue

    23. Sox,
      Simply out, AWESOME.
      I can feel the love but adore the way the mystery is deepening.
      Your writing style is tremendous and the attention to the little details spell-binding.
      Many thanks for this fantastic addition to the site.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    24. I love the way you depict both characters and their emerging relationship … The wealth of your story is also that they will have to start knowing and love each other (in all meanings … knowing that T is not a gay lady at the start) and in parallel, B&T will have to be in another kind of relationship: police officer and witness (where there is no room of space for personal feelings).

      I am not sure I made myself clear but no matter, the story is great.

      Thanks

    25. It’s great that Bette has a friend that is up front with her, yet supportive, and compassionate. Hope Bette is able to maintain a cool deamor as she sorts the case, as well as her feelings for Tina. Tina is such a key factor in solving this case. Hope she’s able to assist Bette and her team, capture this ruthless murderer. Great story!

    27. This is such awesome story sox1…hope to find out more about “bobbie”.. will there be red herrings in future posts to keep us on our toes…i hope so…
      Thank you.

    28. “I can take you home now” I was surprised that Tina assumed that Bette would indeed take her home to Bette’s… this is a very trusting Tina!

    29. Great post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who is bobbie give us the details in to this bette poter Please tell me she will ” let tina stay” and not push her away post soon!!!!!!!!!!!

    30. Awesome. And I am learning to really dislike the killer more and more. I think she has to know him or her too. Sox, really you should charge us money to read your work, its that good.
