    Cure-all, Chapter 25

     

    Tina… Her Tina… was standing in front of her. She had wished for this so many times that she wondered what kind of magic lamp she had accidentally rubbed for the miracle to finally happen before her eyes.

     

    But even though she was thrilled by the beautiful blonde miracle, she needed to know more about its occurrence.

     

    … Just to make sure that it wouldn’t vanish just as fast as it had appeared.

     

    “Wh… What are you doing here?” She finally articulated in a hoarse voice.

     

    Tina swallowed the lump in her throat. The sound of Bette’s voice reminded her to breathe and brought her back to their present reality.

     

    It took her best efforts to compose herself and find her voice.

     

    “I… I was sent here by the L.A. Times.” She said softly.

     

    “To… To cover the coup d’etat…” Bette said, more as a realization than a question.

     

    Tina nodded. She couldn’t yet admit her true motive to the brunette. Not now… And certainly not here.

     

    Bette wanted to tell her that it was foolish, that she shouldn’t stay, that she couldn’t stand the idea of knowing her at risk with the impending attacks from the rebels, that she was scared for her safety, that she would be devastated if anything happened to her…

     

    But instead, the most breathtaking smile spread across her face, and releasing the breath she’d been holding, she uttered with intense emotion,

     

    “It’s so wonderful to see you…”

     

    Tina melted on the spot. There it was again. The dazzling smile. The one that reached her eyes and made her whole face shine with brightness and beauty. In that instant, the blonde knew that she would never get enough of that smile.

     

    She smiled back tilting her head a little, and nodded, conveying with her eyes how wonderful it was indeed.

     

    They looked deeply into each other’s eyes, both unable to break that renewed contact.

     

    After the shock, the relief, the delight… The incredible happiness.

     

    They had been lost… But suddenly they were found again.

     

    For a few seconds, they forgot the world around them… But unfortunately, the world didn’t forget them, and reality, their worst enemy for the past few weeks, dawned on Bette like a drop of the most freezing water on her head.

    1. yay!! this is a great story that can take many turns…i love the variations of tina and bette’s first meetungs. lokk forward to reading more and thanks for taking the time to share with us.

    2. The memorable romance stories always have impediments that the couple must overcome to be together. It was easier to write those stories in the past when geography, family feuds, class, nationality, race, or marital status would be enough to separate a couple. Today in America, it is very hard to write a classic romance because there are few believable external impediments to a couple’s love. I have loved your story from its opening lines, but I was certain that Tina would leave Helena and she and Bette would be together. This is not meant to trivialize what you were writing. It has all been wonderful and a pleasure. I just could not imagine that there was anything in Tina and Helena’s marriage that would stop Tina from eventually leaving the relationship to be with Bette. BUT by sending Bette on her research trip, you have created the classic romance story. There are dangers everywhere. More poignantly, they do not share the same dangers (at least not yet), so that Bette had to send Tina away and Tina accepted that she had to leave. You have moved your already great story in a direction that will be dramatic and poignant and frightening and heartbreaking. I promise that I will travel over every bump you create, though I may be clutching tissues to my tear-streaked cheeks (OK, a bit melodramatic, but you get my point, right?). Kudos for this shift in the story’s direction. I can’t wait to read your next chapter.

    3. just got back today from the convention… it was amazing… i am so gladi was a part of this history making weekend… now on to your strory… i love this and home to 2 chapters… just added another layer to my weekend… so tina realized she never told kit her name… bette has been talking about her… love the love… bring it on… i can’t wait to read what bette has to do…PPS

    4. This is one of the amazing love story that has been on this site in a long time. When one can go half way around the world to see the one you love. Into a danger zone. Dont want Helena to get hurt,but would love to see them together when Bette gets back to LA.Just bring Bette and Tina home safe. thanks

    5. I just clicked on this update and read it even though I have not read any of the other previous chapters, but your writing is amazing! I am totally sucked in. As a reader you can feel the passion just in this chapter. I wish I had time to go read the other chapters now but I will look for them the next time I visit .Thanks for sharing

    6. Bette now knows that Tina loves her. She will work even harder now that she feels she has something to go home to (not that Bette is not working hard already). I hope that Tina is able to come through with her articles.

    7. By the way, I just read Spumoni’s brilliant and beautiful comment and I couldn’t agree more with everything she/he ( I’m sorry, I don’t know you Spumoni but I’m amazed by your… ” eloquence ” ) wrote. And I wanted to add that I think you really deserve everything she/he wrote… Et ce n’est pas un petit compliment !

    8. Well, I’m glad to “hear” that Bette knows what she has to do because I certainly wouldn’t, not in this situation… Anyways, this really is heartwrenching K, probably even more than if they hadn’t seen each other at all in fact, but of course this was beautiful… And at least Bette now knows for sure Tina has feelings for her and hopefully that will give her one more reason to take care of herself… As for Tina, I suspect she already knew Bette cared a lot about her, but I guess she just had a confirmation there, huh ?… And I have a feeling she thinks this was sooooo worth taking the risk she took by going to the Lazaretto… Even if their brief “meeting” was damn frustrating. THIS IS GREAT, K ! I just can’t wait to read more !

    9. Bette is going to look really silly practicing the Tango out in the middle of no where. Please let her find the cure soon and get away from that horrible place. PS

    10. Ohhhh – how I love this built up between Bette and Tina! So it will be so much sweeter when they are finally together!!! What a great chapter – please PLEASE post soon! Thanks. :)
