Can’t Help Falling in Love Chapter 15
Unbeknownst to Tina, Bette was now quietly sitting on the
other side of the door. Listening.
Tina: I know what that ***** did to you. I am soo sorry. I
am sorry that it ever even happened. I am sorry that I didn’t know you then so
I couldn’t take you away from all of it.
Tina was holding back the tears welling up in her eyes.
Bette had given up on holding them in and she sat there with her sweater
pressed to her face.
Just then the door across from Bette’s opened and an older
woman stepped out.
Woman: Sweetheart, are you talking to yourself?
Tina was about to say no, she was sharing a much-needed
apology with someone, but she didn’t want to get into too much detail.
Tina: Yes.
Woman: Are you ok?
Tina: Yes, thank you.
Woman: No I mean are you like one of those crazy people that
hang out in the subways?
Tina: Oh no ma’am.
Bette heard the conversations out side the door and
struggled not to smile.
Woman: Ok, good. Because I don’t like to have those crazies
in the apartment.
Tina: No, I wouldn’t either. I won’t be here much longer.
Woman: Would you like a cup of tea while you’re out there
dear?
Tina: No thank you ma’am.
Woman: Well if you do, just knock ok?
Tina: Yes, thank you.
With that the woman closed the door to her apartment and
Tina heard her lock all 6 deadbolts. She couldn’t help but laugh a little. She
took a deep breath before continuing where she left off.
Tina: Bette, I care about you. You and I, we can never ever
be together, it just wouldn’t work, we are way too different. But we can be
friends. I can be there for you. I can be a shoulder to cry on or just a clown
to make you laugh. What I can’t do
is make this better. I know that and I respect that. You need help Bette.
style=”mso-spacerun: yes”> You need someone to talk to. You can’t
keep your entire past, no matter how awful pent up inside of you because one
day you’ll explode. What he did to
you was inexcusable, but you need to understand that it wasn’t your fault. It
was never your fault.
Tina wasn’t sure what more there was to say. She pressed her
hand to the heavy oak door hoping in some way Bette could hear her.

Thanks Ari! I love to hear about cute boys, i’m not actually a lesbian. So Ari is good looking and sweet. WOW what a combo. Seriously though, I love your story it has just enough comedy and drama. I find myself checking often to see if you posted.
Two chapters in one day? am i in haven?? =P

The whole Bette not wanting to talk to Tina felt so real, it showed how hurt she was, she didnt just open the door and jump Tina even after she heared what Tina had to say..
By the way say hi to Ari, i’m sure he’s a hot daddy.. ok here’s a 2 options lady if he want’s some.. LOL kidding.. ;)
You have got me hanging on every word!
Hey Ari – thanks so much for the formatting – it really makes the reading go easier, but your friend is right, we don’t give a damn how good you look! Thanks, babe!
Hey Flair – it’s not my birthday yet but I have a couple wishes:
1. Please, let nothing bad happen to Bette in her current state of mind.
2. Let Bette find her way out of the closet and let them find their way to each other.
Okay, that’s three wishes…

Great story Flair! Looking forward to some Bette and Tina action.
I can’t get enuff of this story,please post soon.

I was hoping to find a new chapter from you when I got home tonight…and what did you do?…you hit us up with two chapters…*muah* Yup!…that’s how much I’m loving your story Flair…
The banter between Alice and Alex about the pizza…and Tina and Bette’s neighbour across the hall had me in stitches. Some of your writing seem a little too real…you know, lol.
Oh and big ups to Ari! *cheers*. I also have a friend by that name…hmmmmmm, I wonder if it’s the same dude…my Ari lives in Park Slope, haha.
I would have sent you a PM, but I don’t know how, lol. Yes…and I feel no shame :-D
Btw, thanks for not making Bette an ex-porn star, lol. I think I would have been devastated.
This is just an AWESOME story. Thanks for taking the time.
This is a great story. I cannot wait to find out what the letter says. Please post soon.
Been away a couple days, but great to be back, to follow along, religiously the good times, and struggles, of our favorite couple. Another great chapter, as always. Please post soon. They (B/T) get some kind of break from the drama, don’t they. At least, for a little while. Your writings are so good, I feel like I feel all the pain that they are going thru. So, be gentle. Post soon! Thanks!!!
