Chapter 18
(Tina) All
Bette frowns.
(Bette) Pardon?
(Tina) If you’re still asking the question, my answer is all
They continue staring at each other for a moment before a smile slowly comes over Bette’s face with the realisation of what Tina is saying.
Tina smiles back at her.
(Bette) Of course I’m still asking the question
They smile at each other, and Bette furrows her brow.
(Bette) Are you still engaged?
Tina shakes her head slowly.
(Tina) I am not
Bette gives a small laugh as her eyes glisten.
She glances around the room before again meeting Tina’s eyes.
(Bette) Well there’s nothing I want more than to kiss you right now, but most of the people here think you’re engaged to the future Governor
(Tina smiles) Yes, well as I said this was not my preference of location for this conversation
They smile at each other before Tina clears her throat and turns her body to look towards the stage, nudging a reluctant Bette to do the same.
When the speeches finally finish the crowd around them moves away and they turn to each other once more. They smile at each other and Bette breathes a large sigh of relief.
(Bette) My office?
Tina nods, still smiling, and Bette leads the way through the crowd.
Bette’s office. Bette turns as she reaches the doorway and Tina steps into her arms. They both smile into a kiss as Tina buries her hands in Bette’s hair and Bette wraps her arms tightly around her. As they lose themselves in the moment they lose their balance and fall together against the door frame.
They lean away and both laugh before rebalancing and looking at each other, as Tina runs the back of her hand gently over Bette’s cheek.
Bette takes a breath and looks at her seriously, before speaking softly.
(Bette) There is something though
Tina looks at her, studying her face and growing concerned.
(Tina) Oh?
Bette takes Tina’s hand and leads her further into her office, before stepping towards the door and closing it behind them.
They stand apart, looking at each other for a moment.
(Tina) Bette, what is it?
Bette takes a deep breath before she speaks.
(Bette) There’s a condition here, for me
Tina looks back at her.
(Tina) OK
They stare at each other for another moment.
(Tina) Well I’ll admit that makes me a little nervous. What’s your condition?
(Bette) That we don’t stay in LA
Tina frowns at her as Bette continues looking at her intently.
(Tina) And where are we moving to?
(Bette) Anywhere you like
Tina looks at her, with a smile slowly forming.
(Tina) What are you talking about?
(Bette) Let’s leave this storm that we’ve created here behind us
Tina considers her for a moment, as Bette takes another breath.
(Bette) I want you to name a university in any city in the world, and I’m going to follow you there and open a gallery
Tina smiles and takes a step towards her.
(Tina) Baby, you don’t need to do that
(Bette) I want to
Bette places her hands on Tina’s hips as she continues.
(Bette) I want you to live your life how you want to live it, and I want to come along for the ride with you
Bette smiles.
(Bette) Again
Tina smiles at her and raises her hand to the side of Bette’s face as she considers her.
(Bette) Anyway, this is a non-negotiable
(Tina smiles) Is it just. Well let’s discuss details later, shall we?
Bette nods and they share a smile.
(Bette) God there’s so much I want to say to you
(Tina smiles) I know baby. Can I start by saying I’m in love with you?
Bette laughs.
(Bette) Yes, I think that’s a good start. I’m in love with you too. Though I think you probably knew that already
Tina smiles.
(Tina) I suspected, but God it’s nice to hear it
They smile broadly at each other before leaning in and losing themselves in a passionate kiss.

Just saw this post! I am working from home and took a break after a long zoom. Thank you, thank you for making my day. I read yesterday’s post and decided Andrew figured out the Tina Bette connection. Why else would he come to Bette’s office, tell Bette of their eloping and then ask for another invitation. He was going to rub it in Bette’s face!!! I believed this was going to get really ugly! But today… today’s post changed my mood for the day! Looking forward to the next post ….sorry it is last for this story!

ALL ! What sweet words. What a leap of faith by both ladies. Tibette is always endgame. Thank you for posting and am sorry to see this story come to an end. I suppose you have another tale brewing ? Thank you

Well, I must say that I am breathing again…. But Tina is a risk taker… but she always calculates the risk so that she does not get completely destroyed in taking the leap. Hopefully in this choice, she actually really does get it all: the partner who will allow her to be who she is and the one who challenges her and supports her as well… this is who Bette was attracted to and this is who she will be very comfortable living with… no matter where they end up.
Great story….. let’s see how you wrap it up….
