Chapter 16
(Bette) You’re more self-aware than me, I think. You’ve always known this of yourself, whereas I guess this is something I’ve really come to realise through our time together. That finding something that works with someone doesn’t have to look a certain way
(Tina smiles) You’ve actually taught me that too
(Bette smiles) Really?
Tina nods.
(Tina) I think I’ve always been focused so much on what I don’t want, and trying to avoid that, that I really have never properly considered what I do want. What kind of situation actually does work for me
(Bette) And what is that?
Tina smiles and shrugs.
(Tina) Exactly what we’ve been doing this whole time
They smile at each other.
(Tina) Helena described it as the perfect scenario for me. Love without commitment
Tina smiles at her.
(Tina) You’ve made me feel so safe, and not pressured. I’ve been just so happy in the moment with you
Bette smiles as she listens.
(Tina) I’ve never felt that before. Able to relax and drop my guard and just be happy. Because I didn’t feel you pushing me towards a particular future. I felt constantly reassured by you that you weren’t asking for more from me
(Bette) I really never was
(Tina smiles) I know
They smile at each other.
(Tina) I think Helena’s seen it the whole time actually. The potential for us to be compatible. She thinks I shouldn’t give up on finding something with someone that works for me. And that that person might be you
Bette smiles.
(Tina) She also told me she was responsible for you ambushing me at work
(Bette smiles) Right. Well I wasn’t going to mention that. I didn’t want to get her in trouble
Tina smiles at her.
(Bette) And to be fair I’m not sure she would have expected I’d just turn up like that
Tina smiles and raises her eyebrows.
(Tina) Probably not, no
They lie in silence for a while, both taking a moment to gather their thoughts. Bette looks over at her, and reaches for her hand.
(Bette) Tee, if we choose to continue with this, we have complete freedom to do it however we like
Tina nods, looking downwards for a moment and then raising her eyes to Bette.

It’s always a joy to read a new chapter!
Glad Tina went to see Bette and that they talked and came to an agreement.
Love this story!
Okay…. an exclusive relationship which is not necessarily going anywhere? Whatever works. Glad they talked and worked it out. I’m not sure what they have decided anything except for the labels which represent what they are already experiencing and to continue and see where this goes. There are no expectations for the future. But there is an underlying desire that they will do the future together whatever that is.
Thanks for the chapter…
Wow, funny thing! They both feel the same way, want the same things. They just needed to express them. Why is Tina so dead set about a commitment ? Who hurt her so much? Glad to see your post. Keep them coming!
A chapter that makes my heart burst instead of constrict
10 whopping pages!!! What a treat!!! Gonna read now. :)
Whew! What a cliff hanger you left us in 15. A new flavor to the Bette and Tina story is really appreciated!
As an aside, I wish you had added health issues/STDs as support for Bette’s exclusivity request. I don’t think we talk about or address STDs. Not all partners are “safe”. Remember we are a collection of all of our active partners.
Keep writing I really like you stories!
Great story. great discussion. love communication and just being open.
Thank you and I feel the chemistry.
When is chapter 17????? Dying for more!
