Cure-all, Chapter 32
Then she saw it, and she gasped.
Astor Piazzolla.
‘Oblivion’.
She stood there, motionless, staring at the record, as the images slowly started to appear in her mind’s eye…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They had reached the house and were now standing outside the dance room. Both knew that their time together was coming to an end.
"Tina…" Bette started, suddenly shy and hesitant, "I… I know it may sound inappropriate, but please believe me when I say that I only mean it in a respectful way. I… huh… I just wanted to say… I think you’re very beautiful."
Tina lowered her head to hide the blush that rose to her cheeks. It was the third time today, and always because of the same person.
"Thank you", she whispered. Bette nodded with a soft smile, never taking her eyes off the hazel ones looking straight back at her.
The moment was cut short when the slow familiar tune of a tango started, one that Tina immediately recognized.
"Oblivion…" she said smiling. And after the slightest hesitation,
"Bette, would you like to dance?" She offered.
Bette’s face dropped,
"Oh, huh… I’m… I’m so sorry. I don’t dance… I mean, I can’t dance… I mean, I can… I guess… but not the tango, I’m afraid." She mumbled, with an apologetic look.
"Oh…"
The blonde looked disappointed.
"It’s alright, Bette. I love this tango, and it would have been nice to prolong our conversation, but please don’t worry about it. At least, we had an opportunity to meet, I mean properly meet, of course." Tina finished with a smile…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A smile that lingered in Bette’s mind as she pulled out of her flashback reverie.
Oblivion.
In an ironic way, what an appropriate word for what was happening to them at the moment…
She took the record out. Thank god, it was still intact. She delicately brushed it clean and placed it on the plate. Then, after making the proper preparations, she moved the arm of the gramophone onto the precious record…
… And let Caruso work its magic.
The first crackling notes started to rise, and soon the slow tune filled the room. Bette remained still in front of the device, letting the soft music and memories flood her mind, when suddenly…

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.

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
