Breathe Me * Chapter 17
***
Tina listened to the shower from her perch at the kitchen table. She had already been up for hours, unable to sleep knowing that Bette was just a few hundred yards away lying half naked in her bed. Tina sipped her coffee and stared down at the file on her lap. She had already made coffee, re-read half the case files, went for run, stopped at the store for a couple of breakfast items, and had eaten breakfast, and it was only nine in the morning. She listened intently as the bathroom door creaked open. Bette was probably changing into the clothes she had left for the brunette, a pair of black yoga pants and a thin gray NYPD tee-shirt. Tina took another sip of coffee and tried to ignore the thought of a naked and wet Bette Porter in her bedroom.
***
Bette opened the bedroom door and padded down the hall in her bare feet. Tina’s apartment was cozy and extremely neat as far as she could tell. On the left, she passed a spare bedroom, on the right, what looked to be Tina’s office. A few steps more and she was in a spacious living room, with a large flat screen television and endless rows of book shelves, to the right was the kitchen, and Bette smiled at the sight before her. Tina was at the kitchen table, coffee mug held tightly between her hands. Her right knee was pulled tightly to her chest and she was staring out of the window. Bette’s breath caught in her chest. Seeing Tina like this, first thing in the morning, was something that felt oddly familiar and comforting. When Tina looked up to greet her, her smile all but stopped the brunette’s heart.
"Good morning," Tina smiled, getting up to get Bette some coffee.
"Morning." Bette suddenly felt shy. The kitchen was somewhat cold and the thin grey tee did nothing to cover her body’s reaction to the temperature.
Bette’s lack of a bra was evident the minute Tina was close enough to hand Bette her coffee. For a moment, Tina’s eyes lingered on the brunette’s breasts and then hesitantly turned elsewhere. Tina had taken to ogling when the brunette was around and she didn’t like it one bit. It embarrassed her, the way she looked at Bette. It was though she didn’t have a modicum of self control.

Some thing to look forward to everyday. Excellent story with many excellent factors.
Why do I have an aching feeling that something bad is about to happen to Bette on her way or at the hotel. I hope she gets to meet Tina’s parents, that may be interesting.

Oh scaf! Of we enjoy this story silly goose. Seriously though should go out by herself? I think Tina should be with her at all times forever and ever. Well off to meet the kennards. Thank you, you amazing writer you.
I don’t think it is a good idea to let Bette go home alone knowing that she has a sore back and that nut is still out there. PPS
That was wonderful !
