So she just looked back at her beautiful face and tried to convey the intensity of her feelings through her eyes.
A cool breeze came through the window, making them shiver at the same time. They laughed heartedly and Tina went to close the window.
"Well, I think you’re all set, Bette. Are you gonna be comfortable?" She asked.
"If I’m gonna be comfortable?" Bette exclaimed, "Tina, this place, this room… It’s pure heaven!"
Tina smiled,
"Alright then…"
She really didn’t want to leave, even if just for the night…
"Yes… Thank you, Tina…" Bette said, definitely not liking those separations from the blonde.
"You’re very welcome… I’m glad you’re here…" Tina let out boldly.
"And I’m glad to be here, with you… and your grandfather." Bette replied, hurriedly adding the last part. But Tina saw in her eyes the real intent of that statement, and her heart missed several beats.
"Well, I guess I’ll see you at beakfast then… Have a good night Bette." The blonde finally said softly.
"Good night, Tina." Bette answered as quietly.
She followed Tina to the door, but as she had her hand on the handle, the blonde turned around as if to say something. But no word came out… She just looked deeply into Bette’s eyes… The smiles were gone, overcome by the multitude of emotions that were harder and harder to contain. For the next few seconds, their silent communication said it all, and finally lowering her head, Tina opened the door and left the room.
————————————————————————————————
Her grandfather was still smoking by the fireplace when she came downstairs. She took her place beside him near the sparkling fire.
"Is Bette all settled?" He questioned.
"Yes, Pappy." Tina replied, staring at the fire.
The old man was quiet for a while, then he took a drag on his cigar and said,
"And why couldn’t you marry this one?… She is pretty amazing."
Tina smiled sadly, and turned to her grandfather,
"Don’t be silly, Pappy."
"But I’m not being silly!" The man retorted. "Where did you meet her anyway?"
The blonde turned towards the fire again,
"I met her on my wedding day…" She said in a soft voice.
Her grandfather shook his head and let out a deep sigh.
"Of course…" He said to himself, bringing his cigar to his mouth.
————————————————————————————————
She went to the window and opened it again.
Standing there, she took a deep breath and closing her eyes, she relived in her mind’s eye every single moment of the evening. She realized that every minute, every second, had made her unbelievably happy, even the ones that would reveal the most painful later…
She didn’t know what the future was made of, but tonight, she knew for sure that there was nowhere else in the world she’d rather be.
————————————————————————————————
She went up to her room and, closing the door behind her, she rested her back against it for a while.
She breathed in deeply and closed her eyes. The whole evening had been about true happiness… She realized that she had never felt that way in her whole life, and the thought delighted her as much as it hurt her.
She didn’t know what the future would bring, but what she knew for certain was that right now, all she wished for was in this house.
She went to her dresser and took off Helena’s diamond ring, telling herself that she shouldn’t wear such an expensive ring at the countryside. But as she put it in her jewelry box, she knew that it wasn’t the true reason…
————————————————————————————————
The old man stubbed out his last cigar for the evening. He would go to bed very soon. The evening had been pleasantly eventful and he was tired, but he needed to think for a moment…
There it was… The sparkle.
The one he had always hoped to see in his granddaughter’s eyes…
The one he had noticed ever since she’d come back from San Francisco, and that had become even more obvious all through the evening…
The one that he’d seen undeniably reflected in the young professor’s eyes.
Bette…
The woman he’d known would come for his Tina. The vines had told him.
So they had met at her wedding?… Hmmm, fate could have some mischievous ways sometimes…
But he knew. He knew for certain, even if themselves were not ready to admit it yet.
They were in love… Utterly and hopelessly in love.
Oh, he knew the situation was not simple. They would have to find their way to each other. But as he stood from his chair and headed towards the stairs, the old man smiled…
… He trusted the vines.
TBC…

exquisitely written chapter! thanks for the update.
This is an amazing story, pls one request…..see it thru to the end. You have started this beautiful journey with us and I can only ask that it continue to it’s conclusion whatever that might be. Too often life gets in the way of the writers and their stories and us readers are left to hang…I’m sitting on the edge of my seat!!! PPS
u loveeeeeeeeeeeee iuit. im so in love with your bette shes rocksss and tina ho my my leave helena. the ring is def a good start. ppvs
Well, I hope you realize, K, that it’s gonna take more than the vines ( first I had read the “vibes” and I realized it worked too. Hahaha ! ) to reassure us as far as Bette and Tina’s future… Anyway, it seems I’m not the only one who loves Tina’s Pappy, huh ? It’s a consensus of opinion : he has to stay ! LOL ! But how come I have a feeling there’s still a long long road ahead before these two can actually be together ? I don’t know, I think I can smell the impending drama… Or maybe it’s just the smell of an incredible twist… Either way, I’m gonna be on my guard… Loved this chapter, K. It was beautiful. Somehow, I wish Helena would show up soon so that Tina can start to realize what a big mistake she made marrying her and things can move along because, let’s be honest, I have no doubt at all that both Tina AND Bette are loyal persons with an iron will, but they also seem to be pretty passionate and they won’t be able to fight their mutual attraction for years, right ? So… Unless something tragic happens to Helena – which is definitely not the kind of twist I’m hoping for – Tina is going to have to make a decision at some point… PPS !
If Pappy trusts the vines, I’m trusting the vines! Got to agree with everyone else, Kword, perfect chapter to an amazing story. Love the way you describe the tension between the two. I’m hoping your favorite part of the story pertains to a certain little pink booklet… that should be just the catalyst to send Tina over the edge. Always look forward to your posts!
I trust Pappy’s vines also. Now if there can be the end of the marriage to Helena without hurt feelings. Besides it seems that Helena is married to any and everything but Tina.
Yey! I really do love this fic! Can never wait for the next chapter! More more more! Pappy is such a genius
I love Pappy and his vines. I love Professor Bette and I love Tina. And I’d love to see them together!
oh god, all I could think of was that the dog has the book!!!! I have such a book fetish!!!! Never mind I’m sure it can’t be that important or u wouldn’t have let the dog take it. Sad about T’s parents. Divorce seems to be the answer for Tina and Bette Porter. Thank u for posting and I’ll look 4ward to the next one cause I really am freaked out about the book.
So good. The scene at the door at the end of the night reminded me of the intensity of the B&T scene at the hospital door when Melvin was in the hospital.
LOL I wonder how Tina will react when she discovers Mopsel has that book. This is such a sweet story.
I really love your story and writing. Please post soon, dun keep us waiting, the tension between Bette & Tina is killing here… :D
Yes they’re in love papy!
Great chapter! I really like this story…So even her Pappy see their connection. But if they find their way to each other, at least one heart gets broken. Poor Helena but I believe in fate so Bette and Tina have to be together! PPS Jay
Amazing chapter. Yeah I love YOUR Bette. Not perfect but warm, lovley, cute. Its how MY Bette also would be. PP REALY FAST
So many emotions, so many unspoken words…This was an amazingly intense chapter.
All seeing all knowing Pappy.
I love Poppy.and his vines. Lets hope that Helena finds someone she can’t live without and tells Tina so Tina can find her heart and love at he end of the rainbow. veryemontional
i also love poppy… and he is so true… buti know love will find its way… loving this…PPS
Wow…I can’t believe I only caught up now…what an awesome story…and your writing is fantastic…thanks so much!!
I came to hear the vines … LOL :) Keep it up and stop teasing! (I should be the last person saying that to anyone…)
Great chapter! They are so in love with each other and don’t know what to do. I hope the Helena issue fixes itself nicely. I think her and Tina are better friends…not really in love. pps
So good. Tina’s slipped the ring off already… I hope she can fully admit to herself, and to Helena, why she’s done it. Nice chapter. Cheers
Ahhh…the wisdom of the old – both her pappy and the vines have foretold the coming of Bette. I hope they are able to spend some more solo time together in the upcoming days – the tension is intense! PPS
I just love this story I would so love to see the original. When are you going to let us in on the name? Poor Bette is trying to be a good friend,but, she is looseing the good fight. Poor Helena is just clueless and I know she will be hurt by all this but you can’t stop fate. PS (:
