"I’m sorry about my grandfather’s long speech about this vineyard, Bette. I guess you could say that he has two passions in life. These vines and, although it might sound a bit pretentious… Me." Tina said shyly.
"Don’t worry, Tina, it was a very interesting speech." Bette answered with a smile.
Then she quickly added, before reason could stop her, "Although I must confess that I would have much more enjoyed a long speech about his ‘other’ passion."
Tina’s heart jumped in her chest and she turned to Bette. The brunette was looking at the path in front of her, but Tina could see the shy smile on her face.
"Tell me about Kit, Bette. What does she do? Does she live in L.A.?" The blonde asked cheerfully.
"No, she doesn’t." Bette answered with a huge smile, incredibly happy that Tina would want to know more about her dear Kit, "To be honest, I don’t really know where she is right now.."
"You don’t?" Tina repeated, very surprised.
"No… While I was growing up and becoming an adult, Kit took care of me and managed to live off her singing and working part-time with charity organizations. She loved what she did and above all, she loved me. Which went both ways, of course. We sometimes had to move to a different city so that she could make a bit more money, but overall, we didn’t hit the road that much, and I had a pretty stable youth… Many years later, right after I started working, Kit told me that she wanted to do some humanitarian work with children abroad for a while. And she asked me if I would mind since it would mean her leaving for long periods of time…"
Bette chuckled,
"There she was, looking at me and anxiously waiting for my verdict… How could she ever think that I would stop her. After everything she had done for me, everything she had allowed me to do, to be. So I just held her in my arms, and told her that I was very proud of her and would always support her…"
The brunette looked at Tina,
"So she left… She’s been to various places. Mostly Africa, but also the Middle-East and South Asia. Oh we see each other as often as we can. But when she’s gone, she can be for a long time, and I sometimes don’t get news for months. I worried a lot at first. But now I know that with Kit, no news is usually good news."
Bette grinned,
"Last time she called, she was in Indonesia. But that was about 3 months ago, so…" Bette trailed off, raising both eyebrows.
"Wow, that’s amazing… But you must miss her a lot." Tina commented.
"I do, yes… But I know that she loves what she does. That’s the most important for me."
"I understand… Pappy said the same to me when I told him I wanted to cover war zones." Tina reflected.
Bette nodded. Yet another thing they had in common…
"I really wish you could meet Kit." Bette suddenly said, looking straight ahead.
Tina looked at her. After hearing Bette’s story, she knew that this wasn’t any statement coming from the brunette.
"I wish it too…" She said softly, overwhelmed with intense emotion.
Bette glanced at her and they smiled at each other… Such a brief moment, yet so full of meaning.
Tina suddenly realized where they were… She’d been so engrossed in the conversation, and even more in her beautiful companion, that she hadn’t noticed where the path was taking them.
How couldn’t she have thought about it earlier?
TBC…

You don’t need a job. ; ) Just keep writing for us and live off of our comments. Just kidding. Thank you for this story..it’s one of those that I can’t get enough of.
God this fic is amazing, it gives me all of thsoe emotional feelings, the overwhelming ones that just want another chapter to be HERE.. NOW! Thank you.
I’m so hooked on this story, they have to at least share a kiss or hug before they separate. Then Tina needs to get rid of her bride!!!
i love pappi k!!! love him. gosh i wonder when they are going to kiss. tina must take time off from helena and tell her shes in love with another person
hmmm, where did they stop!? a little cozy cottage maybe….!? ;) very sweet chapter – thanks for posting!
very emotional chapter…i hope when bette goes to research virus she won get sick
I am loving this story. I hope Tina fesses up to Helena before moving on to Bette, but she does need to move on to Bette, and real soon! PPS.
WHAT ? !!! What do you mean “TBC…” ? Where are they ? Where are they ? I wanna know where they are ! Oh, the frustration ! Anyhow… I’m with Fergz1, are you sure you need a job ? Personally, I think it’s a publisher you need. You know, I can totally picture Kit working for humanitarian organizations. That is sooo like her ! It’s a great idea you had there. It makes so much sense. As for Bette and Tina’s interactions… Well, somehow I wish Bette hadn’t been so careful to stay sober and clear-sighted coz I would have loved her to be a little bit more uninhibited when talking to Tina. I would have loved for her to “awkwardly” let slip the way she felt in Tina’s presence and then try to cover up her “gaffe” and get stuck in her pathetic attempt at seeming perfectly detached and comfortable with the situation… But of course she’s too smart to get tipsy when around Tina coz God knows what she might say and do then… Too bad they’re both so serious though… I mean, there are vines as far as the eye can see. They have to serve another purpose besides talking to Pappy, right ? LOL ! Can’t B and T get hammered together before Bette has to leave ? LOL ! Ok, Ok, just kidding ! Great chapter, K ! You rock !
Au fait, tu vois ? Y en a déjà qui sont à deux doigts de te supplier à genoux pour un bisou échangé entre B & T … L’univers tout entier est suspendu à ta plume. Tu réalises le pouvoir que tu as là ? LOL !
Oh, how can you stop here! Please post soon, no… please post now =D Amazing writing, can’t wait >
I love it, I love it, I love it!
really love this story! i hope your generous streak continues! :)
so intrigued as to where they will stop!
Love this storyLove it. Tina needs to get her life in shape,before Bette gets back home. I was hoping that Helena would find someone first. Please Post soon thanks
The three of them are so compatible. It is interesting that Bette feels the same way that Tina does. And of course Pappy Kennard seems to love Bette almost as much as Tina is beginning to.
That was great!
Aww, you stop at the most irritating times sometimes. Please more soon (:
so happy ur continuing the story. Hopefully the job will come soon too. PPS.
