“Hey,” Tina said, walking into the dining room.
Bette had to lean against the table to keep her knees from buckling. Tina was stunning beyond description in a deep rose gown that modestly but exquisitely hugged her new, fuller curves and revealed her flawless back and shoulders.
“I didn’t know pregnant women were allowed to be so unbelievably *****. I think you’re breaking a basic law of nature,” Bette said appreciatively.
Tina lowered her eyes and smiled, and Bette felt her heart speed up as she noticed the faint blush rising in Tina’s cheeks.
“Could you help me with this?” Tina asked, holding up a necklace that Bette didn’t recognize.
She almost recoiled from the beautiful opal pendant, wondering when Helena had given it to Tina and what it meant between them. But instead, Bette took the necklace and stood behind Tina, bringing the chain around her neck to fasten the clasp.
A million memories and sensations flooded over Bette as she closed her eyes and inhaled Tina’s scent, felt the warmth of Tina’s body without even touching her. All of the nights they had gone out together over the years, the parties, the events, the work functions. Dressing up for each other, finding each other over and over in crowded rooms, drifting apart to mingle only to seek each other out once again. Bette inevitably giving Tina the hand signal for, “Tell them I’ve got a headache,” so they could make a hasty exit. How many times had she broken land speed records in the Saab to get Tina home and out of whatever she was wearing.
“People are going to think you have a brain tumor if you keep using that headache excuse,” Tina had said one night, as they kissed feverishly in the car.
“At least they can be sure I died happy,” Bette grinned, her whole body tingling deliciously with a need that she knew was definitely going to be fulfilled.
“Do you have it?” Tina asked, still waiting for Bette to hook the chain.
“Hang on a sec, I can’t quite see,” Bette said, blinking back tears to clear her vision.
“Your eyes are tired from all of the close work you’ve been doing this week. Did you finish the portfolios you were reviewing?”

A beautifully constructed chapter. Bette’s flashback putting on the necklace was particularly touching. I can feel the longing between them and the hesitancy – it’s a pure pleasure to read.
What a tender moment. They still have quite a way to go don’t they?
Kepp writing it – I’ll keep reading it.
Gah, the sweet, sweet torture! Oh this is amazingly but achingly heartbreaking in the same instance. Lovely!
FCC…oh, the heartache. IC and co. should take lessons from you and several of the other writers that share their talents with us. Your writing is an amazing gift. Pls, carry on.
Oh, the bittersweet taste of love. One step forward, two steps back. Patience is a virtue and Bette is doing her level best to not push Tina too much. Tina is just guarding her heart. Time and circumstance will hopefully get them both going in the same direction. Nice chapter as usual.
This was one of those fine, top notch chapters, FFC. Your writing is truly visual and lovely.
FFC….you so write from the heart. I sincerely hope that life has never thrown you a curve because, the way you write is as if you lived it. Thank you for a beautiful chapter. It gives me hope that Tina cut out early to rush home to Bette. All is not lost!
this is getting better and better as you go FFC..I hope you keep up the good writing…
My favorite part was when Tina was able to look Bette in the eye and said “Not always”. I think Bette needs to get kicked around a little more.
You are killing me and I know the outcome of the story. How crazy is that?
You have really set up a tough situation. I don’t know how Bette can deal with watching Tina go out with Hell-No. And putting on her necklace…I think that would completely do me in. You bring them so close but…..ah the torture!!!!
More please!
my heart is aching…really.
loving the intensity of this story…
It’s incredibly intense
very visual writing. nice.
What Mango said plus sniff, sniff.
T, you have to give her another chance. who else will love you like Bette. this is a great story. I discovered it a few chapters ago and fell for it. You have a way with descriptions. i see everything you write. please post soon, and I hope there is a happy ending on the horizon!!
Beautiful as always FFC…

snQQpy – what did me in was, One, chance. If you give me that, i promise, I’ll never need to ask for another.

FFC, your writing always sets the visual stage for me, and at this moment…..
“I don’t know, Bette. I just don’t know,” Tina said, wiping away fresh tears as she got up from the couch and walked out of the room.
…..I visualized snatching Tina by the back of her hair and dragging her ass back to that couch!! -_-
Post again soon…
Why must you make me all teary before class??? That was a lil heartbreaking, but very understandable. Keep giving them time, hope for another chance. A love like Bette and Tina’s cant be deniede for too long.
“Exquisite as a diamond, your writing is.” Yoda
Wow. Bit by bit ladies, it all takes time. Your doing such a fantastic job of moving this along nice and easy, but at the same time leaving us with that anticipation of what next. Will we go beyond dinner, will Tina gradually pull away from Helena, thats what keeps us coming back. Hopefully Bette lets it rest for tonight, and realizes tomorrow is another day. Baby steps, cos she messed up big time. They’ll get there, right?
Reading that chapter made my heart break.Great writing FF.I can’t wait to see the outcome.
Yes you do know womam.. that you love Bette the same way she loves you..then why fight against love like this?? please let Tina give Bette another change… another chance for their love..FFC your killing me..lol.FIX this please :o)
