Cure-all, Chapter 32
He frowned.
“They sure seem pretty agitated this morning.” He reflected, heading back to Bette.
The brunette sighed and without taking her eyes off her task, she replied with nonchalance.
“Too many vitamins probably… Must be the oranges…”
James burst out laughing.

It was late.
Everyone was asleep.
Well, almost everyone.
Bette was still up, engrossed in the innards of the gramophone. She was really close to her goal of making Caruso sing again, and she wanted to complete her task tonight so that the boys would get the surprise when they woke up.
They had all spent the afternoon focused on the children. The bombings and gunfire had intensified in the last few hours, as if getting closer, and the youngest boys had started crying and getting really scared. So they had kept them busy with games, songs and stories, and tried in vain to cover the deafening sounds of the war outside.
Despite the tension of their situation, Bette couldn’t deny that she had enjoyed every minute in Tina’s presence. Every fleeting glance towards the blonde from across the room, every moment of close proximity with her, like when they had had to sit close together at the lunch table, every single brush of their hands while washing the dishes or during the games with the kids… Those were stolen moments, but some that she would forever cherish.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when, after several fruitless manipulations, the plate of the gramophone finally started to spin.
“Yes…!” She said softly.
She checked it several times, just to make sure that it was indeed working, and decided to try it out with a record. She stood and went to the unbelievably dusty box full of old records that James had dug out in the attic. She bent over it and started to go through them.
She found several that were broken. Well, that will narrow down my options, she thought cheerfully. On some others, the title and name of the artist could hardly be distinguished anymore. She was just about to get to the bottom of the pile when one record in particular held her attention. She pulled it out and blew on the cover to chase the dust that was half covering it.

I’ll agree with some previous comments, I would love to see them tango on the big screen, and it would be more erotic than a NC17 scene. Beautiful chappie.
Aww, finally they got to dance the tango together. Thanks to your exquisite writing I could totally picture this scene in my head, simply wonderful. PPS!
Great minds do indeed think alike and this was just what I saw in my mind’s eye… perfectly written, Kword. Can’t believe you stopped with such a cruel tease though… you seem too sweet for that!! Can’t wait for the next chapter.
I don’t care I still loved it. PS VS
Wow! To even think of TiBette dancing the Tango together is erotic! Thank you, and please come again!
Ya you better duck! What a cruel place to stop! But what a beautiful chapter. PPS
What a beautiful chapter. You could feel the fear that Tina’s grandfather has for Tina’s safety. The dance scene is fantastic. I can’t wait for the next update.
That was great!
Beautiful. Sweet. Nostalgic. Perfect. More.

duck duck i will find u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
agree with honda who took the words right outa my mouth..more plz. Thank u for this.
Alright, I might have said this before, but it’s just cruel to leave us hanging like this… LOL ! Fantastic chapter, but very frustrating ! Et au fait, pour le petit conseil que tu m’avais fait l’honneur de me demander, je te confirme que c’est le moment idéal et ça paraitrait curieux même si ça ne se produisait pas là maintenant… J’imagine que quelquechose pourrait bien entendu encore les interrompre, mais sans cela, franchement, pourquoi se retiendraient-elles ? Dans un contexte aussi incertain et maintenant qu’elles savent que leurs sentiments sont réciproques, ce serait presqu’idiot que de ne pas se laisser un tout petit peu aller… Enfin, je dis ça, si ça se trouve ce n’est pas du tout à ce moment-ci que tu faisais allusion lorsque tu m’avais demandé mon avis… Anyway, it’s good to know that Helena is finally going to get a move on to help her… wife. Oh, and I loooooved the flashback between little Tina and her Pappy. Great job, K !
GRRR!!……Darn!!:( Very nicely done!
Perfect.How can you love someoe so much and not b able to say it. so very beautiful. No ducking just start typing. thanks
I don’t know if ducking will help you now…that was the most beautiful chapter yet. Who needs NC-17 when there are chapters like that. Thank you…pps
