Cure-all, Chapter 21
The blonde closed her eyes and shivered at the way Bette had said her name. Almost like a whisper… A caress…
"Tina… You… You’ve made Shane happier than I have ever seen her…" The brunette continued in the same soft voice, "Thank you so much, I…"
A metallic female voice announcing immediate boarding for her flight interrupted her.
"Bette?…" Tina asked, "Where are you?"
"Oh, uh… I’m at the airport… In L.A." The brunette replied softly.
"Oh… Did you just get back?" Tina inquired, seeing her opportunity, "Do you need a ride?"
"Uh, no… I… I’m about to board a plane to Santa Maria." Bette let out in one breath.
There was silence on the other end of the line. Then,
"You’re leaving to Santaragua?" Tina said, her voice barely audible, "Now?…"
After a pause, Bette answered as quietly, "Yes… I am…"
Tina’s heart was pounding in her chest. Suddenly, the reality of Bette’s departure was one of the most painful ordeals she ever had to endure. She knew that the brunette would never give up her trip. And she respected her even more for it. But she had secretly hoped that with Shane’s accident, Bette would postpone it a bit… At least long enough for them to meet again. Tina knew she’d been clinging to the tiniest hope of seeing the brunette again, even if just for an hour…
… But with Bette’s words, that hope had just vanished.
And that depressed her more than she could articulate.
"Tina…?" Bette’s sweet voice came through the line.
"Hem…" Tina cleared her throat to try and swallow the huge lump blocking it, "Yes…?"
"I, uh… I have to go… They’re calling for boarding…" The brunette said, her heart aching so intensely that she couldn’t help the tears that welled up in her eyes.
Tina suddenly panicked. No… she didn’t want to hang up. She didn’t want to end this last connection with the brunette before… what?… Weeks?… Months?… It was too early. Much too early… She wasn’t ready…
"Bette…"
"I really wanted to thank you again for inviting me to Walheim…" The brunette said quickly, afraid of what Tina might say, "… And for everything you’ve done… you know… with Shane… That… That meant a lot to me."
Tina nodded, even though Bette couldn’t see her.
"I… I wish we’d had more time…" Neither knew if the blonde meant then in Walheim, or now on the phone, or simply more time together… Just some more time together…

wow phew! u have ways with words. keep it up. im hoping that maybe, just maybe Tina will visit Bette. But i rather Bette find the cure and go home to Tina.
poor tina she must broke things with helena so she could fallow her heart and be with bette
wow such a long and well written update. I enjoyed it so. Well I see we have Tina attempting to be a mature adult, instead of cheating on Helena she wants to tell her how she feels first…so do it already and go to Bette.
Finally they both admit they have fallen in love. Such a great story.
that was beautifully written! thanks for the very long update!
What a wonderful chapter! I can’t wait for Thursday…OH..for your American friends, like myself, you should post a “victory chapter” on our Tuesday night. Must get to bed have to be at the voting booth at 6:30am. PPS
These 14 pages read like 2 – they flew by – so beautiful and touching. Your writing is such that I feel the passion and the love radiating from these 2 women. Here’s hoping there’s another 14 pg chapter waiting for me after I cast my vote in the big election on Tuesday……
awww – what a heart tearing story! I was so exicited about your fantastic loooong post! Thanks so much! And please post again before your trip – there is just no way that I survive the absence of your story for such a long time…. :)
Okay, they have fallen in love with each other and are not even in the same country, what is the next step? I hope that the survive this time away from each other. It also gives Tina some time to end her marriage to Helena.
” I needed to hear your voice one last time before I left. ” OMG, what an admission !! How could she hung up right after saying this ?! Well, actually… Actually, I can certainly see why she would do that, she just wasn’t ready to face the consequences of such a revelation, but at the same time she desperately needed to say those words to Tina for somehow it must be a relief for her… But how could she leave Tina like that ? With those words ?… This is so heartwrenching, no to mention excruciating ! … Anyway, off to read your last update now !
WOW This is so freaking good!
