Chapter 11
The following Thursday evening, the Planet, Alice, Shane and Dana are having a drink. Bette arrives and smiles at them all as she takes a seat.
(Bette) Hey
They all look at her apprehensively as they greet her. Bette picks up a menu from the table.
(Bette) I’m going to order food at the bar, I’m starving. Can I get anyone anything while I’m up?
They all add their orders and Bette smiles at them as she reaches for her bag. Alice looks at her for a moment.
(Alice) You seem a bit cheerier today
Bette stops and glances around the table.
(Bette) Ah, yes. Sorry, I know I’ve been a lot recently
They all smile at her.
(Alice) So we’re admitting the moodiness now are we?
Bette raises her eyebrows and shrugs.
(Bette) Honestly, you don’t know the half of it. I’m surprised James hasn’t resigned
They all smile.
(Dana) When does she arrive?
Bette turns to her and smiles.
(Bette) Late Sunday
Dana nods.
(Dana) And you’ll see her straight away?
(Bette smiles) Yes, she’s coming straight over from the airport
Bette gestures towards the empty pitcher on the table.
(Bette) I’ll get us another round. Same again?
They all nod and smile their thanks as Bette rises from the table, and they follow her with their eyes as she makes her way to the bar.
(Alice) She’s in pretty deep huh?
They all continue watching her and Alice sighs.
(Alice) I think we need to tell her I saw Tina out on a date
Shane and Dana share a look, and then both look to Alice.
(Dana) We can’t enjoy her good mood a little longer?
(Alice shrugs) I think we just need to do it
Shane sighs and rubs her forehead and Alice hits her arm with the back of her hand.
(Alice) Seriously, she needs to know. It’s not like Tina’s doing anything wrong, but I’m worried they’re not on the same page
They look back to Bette at the bar and Shane sighs and nods.
(Shane) Yeah, OK, you’re right
Alice goes to say something else and then registers what Shane said, and she stops and looks at her.
(Alice) It makes me uneasy when you agree with me

Rules up and down and up again, but they confessed their true feelings.
I simply love this story!
Why is Tina making this so hard? I feel like she is manipiulating Bette for some strange reason. Either she feels the same way or she stops stringing Bette along! Piss or get off the pot , Tina! PPS
I am actually getting frustrated with this story. Its a point of trying to keep something hidden from the other… going through the motions of having a true connection when the rules say you do not. And since you do not, it could all be over without a word. No need for goodbyes or an explanations… because there was no connection anyway. Those are the rules. And their individual emotional response is their individual problem…. and that to me seems cruel and uncaring. Its a wall which will cause major heartache at some point which was the point of the making the rules in the first place. To avoid a heartbreak…. Time to take the chance that this relationship is real and is something good and long lasting and meaningful not just a good time momentary fling with no attachments. And just because they are attracted to each other and see and feel something they have never experienced before does not remove the “oh but this is just something for the moment” and has no future rules. And that is truly a frustrating thought…. This is a relationship with conditions.. Truly a bargained arrangement.
Thanks for the chapter…. I do hope these rules go away…. and allow them to love each other without conditions.
I think that’s the point of this story… this journey that katynd is guiding us on. Finding a way. It’s going to be frustrating because the walls won’t come down all at once. They can’t. It’s too much. It’s going to be gradual.
I cannot wait for more chapters this is incredible
Running out of superlatives to describe your writing, apropos of nothing, Bette’s line from Chpt 7 has been a recurring thought for me:
“(Bette) I don’t think you need to take quite so much from you feeling jealous. It doesn’t need to be the terrible thing you’re making it out to be, if we choose to look at it differently”
– This line should be framed and hanging on a psychotherapist’s waiting room wall.
I created an account on here just to let you know how much I love your stories and your writing. I am so crazy hooked on every single one of your works. Thank you so much for sharing these stories with us.
I can’t wait to see how their relationship will evolve. I’m on the edge of my seat every time you post a chapter and I’m sure things will go terribly wrong before Tina finally realize how good Bette is for her. I can’t wait to hear more about Tina’s backstory and find out why she is so guarded. The way you portray them falling in love subtlety and slowly is pure perfection. It reminds me a little bit of some of your other stories as well. You capture this dynamic between them perfectly every time.
Anyways, can’t wait for more. And thank you again for keeping us entertained and continuing to keep the stories about Bette and Tina alive!
Omg I agree Josie!!!! I love this story and this chapter was so intense. I’ve read the end of page 5 going into to 6 like 10 times ! I love how it’s going. I definitely look forward to these.
You are brilliant. BRILLIANT. I’m desperate to know what is going on for Tina in this story. Why the rules when you are both so clearly in love?
Please update soon! It’s like a good book that I can’t put down.
Love your stories and how the stories evolve.
Tina has apparently been hurt in the past therefore doesn’t want the commitment with Bette. I think we will find out Tina’s reason. Bette is so patient with Tina letting her rule the relationship. Thank you for the new chapters.
This is really really good. thank you so much for sharing. I’m really loving this.
