Alice sighs.
(Alice) I’m surprised Bette didn’t know about it already, I thought you two are usually aware of the other’s location at all times
(Tina sighs) It was a last minute trip for him, and she was at a work function. It just didn’t come up later I guess
(Alice) Do you want me to clear it up with her?
(Tina frowns) Oh, no. There’s no need to. As you said we’re both able to do what we like, as she is tonight. Let’s just leave it
(Alice nods) OK
(Tina) Actually maybe don’t mention coming home earlier either if you don’t mind. I think I’ll just stick to my original schedule after all
Alice frowns and nods.
(Alice) OK
Sunday night, Tina arrives back in LA and makes her way to Bette’s house. They have had less contact than usual over the last few days and so are both feeling apprehensive about seeing each other. Tina lets herself in using the key Bette has left out for her and on noticing the lights in the lounge when she enters makes her way there. She stops in the archway and looks at Bette, who is sitting on the couch looking back at her.
(Tina) What are you doing waiting up? It’s so late
Bette looks at her for a moment and then smiles.
(Bette) It’s not so late
Tina smiles and they hold each other’s gaze. Tina then slowly makes her way over to her, placing a knee either side of Bette on the couch and lowering herself into her lap. Bette places her hands on Tina’s waist and Tina runs her fingers through Bette’s hair, looking at her intently and making a decision. She takes a breath before speaking.
(Tina) I’m going to break the rules for a second
Bette frowns, looking at her curiously.
(Bette) OK
Tina continues looking at her and takes another breath.
(Tina) A couple of nights before I left on this trip Alice saw me having dinner with my brother
Bette raises her eyebrows and then goes to say something and Tina stops her, holding her finger against Bette’s lips. They look at each other.
(Tina) I don’t want to talk about why I feel the need to tell you this

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.
