They pulled back, and rested their foreheads together. Bette raised her hand to the blonde’s hair and caressed it softly, lovingly. Then they looked up and, their eyes glazing with passion, they got lost into each other again. They were leaning in for another breathtaking kiss, when a sudden burst of gunfire forced them both to the ground.
The shutters burst into pieces… The glass of the windows shattered… All around the room things broke and were knocked flying…
Some bullets hit the gramophone, causing the horn to break in two and fall to the ground…silencing Caruso forever.
Crawling on the floor, Bette dragged Tina towards the wall between the two windows, and holding her tight into her arms, she covered her with her own body. The gunfire continued for a while until suddenly, it stopped. In the silence that followed, they could hear the cries of the children and Kit and James’ voices trying to soothe them.
Bette raised her head and looked at Tina lying under her.
“You okay?” She murmured with concern.
“Yeah… I think so.” The blonde replied softly, “Bette, what was that?… Are we being assaulted?”
“No, I don’t think so… It didn’t look like an assault… I think these were random shots.”
“What do you mean?” Tina quizzed.
“Hold on…” Bette instructed softly.
She slowly lifted herself up, cautiously looking through the broken shutters.
“That’s what I thought…” She said, crouching back down near Tina, who had pulled herself to a sitting position as well, “The soldiers are being attacked by the rebels. I guess we just happened to be in their line of fire…”
She looked at the blonde.
“That’s the opportunity I was waiting for… I’m going to get some help.” She told her.
Tina suddenly panicked.
“No…! Bette, please…” She protested, “You’ll get yourself killed.”
The brunette looked at her.
“No, I won’t… I’ll be careful.” She assured. Then she added with a soft smile, “I made a promise, remember?”
“Bette, please…” Tina begged, “Let James go…”
“No…” The brunette shook her head, “I want James here… To protect you all.”
Tina plunged her eyes into Bette’s.
“But I want you to protect me…” She whispered, tears in her eyes, raising her hand to Bette’s face.
The brunette stared back at her with a loving smile. Then, she caught the blonde’s hand resting on her cheek and brought it to her lips, kissing the palm as she closed her eyes. Tina leaned her face close to Bette’s and kissed her temple, lingering there.
Bette pulled away, and after looking deeply into the beloved hazel eyes, she crawled to the door leading outside. She glanced at Tina one last time, then opened the door and ran out.
Tina lifted herself up to the window, but it was too late… The brunette had already disappeared through the hedge.
So she waited, tears falling on her cheeks and her heart pounding violently, for the dreaded gunshots that she hoped would never come…
She waited…
TBC…

i’m okay with kissing if they follow their hearts, stop there, fix the problem and then get together…and it was beautiful, the tango and the kiss…beautiful
wow! i think that was your best chapter yet. i actually put Oblivion in the background while reading the chapter :) i understand about your apprehension about ‘kissing is cheating’. but i think that you have provided enough moments in the previous chapters to make us understand its inevitability. I agree with B&TF, stop there, fix the problem and then get together. excellent chapter!
You did it jusdtice, believe me! I felt everything I expected to feel at some point in your story when I first red about Oblivion (more when I first listened to it). The dance-kiss scene was all I could hope for. A kiss is cheating, but Helena knows, dosen’t she? They started talking about it before Tina left and I guess she knows in her heart that they are the wrong match.
Can’t imagine what you would have changed to make the chapter better, Kword… aside from 4-5 more pages. Excellent, as always! As far as the cheating, I think both Bette and Tina would feel better if Tina talked to Helena before anything more happened, but given their current circumstance, the norm doesn’t exactly apply. By the way, that was not “just” a kiss…
Kword, that was some hot chapter, and I can not imagine anything that could have been done better.You more than did justice to the original story. What original story are you speaking of? What’s the title and where can I find it? Now to this chapter. This was absolutely amazing. You painted such a beautiful and sensuous picture with your words that I could see them dancing together. It was magical. And I agree with you, this is after all TiBette and all else goes out the window concerning these two getting together. Please bring Bette back in one piece and well, hopefully with food and help for them all.Fantastic chapter. Post when you can.
Wow you definelty know how to pour on the drama. The tango was so sensual and finally some kissing! Now please don’t hurt Bette! PPS:)
I hope that the gun fire never comes again and that they all will be rescued soon. If I remember in an earlier chapter, Helena and Tina did have a conversation about it not working. They may not have ended their marriage but they both know that it is not want they both want. Keep them safe.
I am still hooked on your story of love thriving among such danger and hardship. Love the usage of the tango, though I mourn the passing of Caruso.
kw, that was absolutely the BEST! I think the talk Tina had with Helena before she left pretty well ended their marriage, such as it was. I love how you write TiBette, perfect!
That was awesome and love their dance and their kiss!
Me again… I know I said that there wouldn’t be any cheating in my story. And I also know that some of you might think that kissing IS cheating. To be honest, I don’t really know where I stand about this issue… All I can say is that when it comes to Tibette, I tend to put my universal truths and convictions aside so that these two can make each other happy… ;) And as a personal note, I was in Bette’s shoes once, and I know from experience that sometimes, even the most grounded principles can be greatly shaken (especially with the matters of the heart)… So personally, I guess it’s just a question of assuming one’s actions and responsibilities.And come on… It’s just a kiss! ;) ;) ;)
Unfortunately I “share” your shoes – didn´t end that well – but I see your point . . but don´t make this the last kiss they share – still great, great story. PPS.
Oh, and by the way, how you could even think for a second that this chapter would disappoint us or that you weren’t doing justice to the original story is… beyond me. ???!!!
And what a kiss !!! You’re right, K, I think we pretty much all have double standards when it comes to Tibette… Helena who ? Jodi who ? … Anyway, before I can comment further on this chapter, I think I’m going to have to read it a couple more times… I’ll be back later !
Ok call me a bias here. As long as it comes to Tibette, I don’t care if they’re cheating (just so not on each other) as long they love and make each other happy =p K, you’ve written the dance so sensually sexy and the chapter so amazingly beautiful. Thank you and pps! For now, I’m going to read this again =)
wow… so intense… I do hope Bette would come back in one piece and hopes for Tina and the rest.
Wow, just wow! Don’t think for a moment you didn’t do this chapter justice, it was fantastic. The chemistry between them is palpable. Now lets hope Bette gets back unharmed.
Oh god…. you are one amazing writer….. this story caught me…. they are so sweet together… I love it
wow……….what a kiss…what a dance..i need a drink to calm my heart
WOW! K, that was fantastic. I cant believe we had to wait 33 chapters for a kiss! But what a kiss – you made it worth the waiting! And about the “cheating” – I`m with the others: the “normal” convictions dont apply in Bette and Tina land!! So dont worry! :) Please post soon. Thanks.
great an intense..
I think you out did yourself on this chapter…it was a beautiful dance and even a more beautiful kiss. I won’t consider it cheating…you are right..it is Tibette. pps
I GUESS WHEN U R CLOSE TO POSSIBLE DEATH, THE RULES FLY OUT THE WINDOW; HOT, INTENSE AND NOW I’M SCARED FOR BETTE. PPS
I am finally caught up… had no electric for the last 4 days… but i am getting caught up… dammmmmmm… what a kiss and dance… it was beautiful… now please keep bette safe and get them all the hell out of that hell they are in… also glad the gang is on the way and hopefully the army…PPS
Ok box of chocolates… here I am! :o) I could’ve not chosen a better chapter to leave you my first comment. That dance was amazing and as many have said, the waiting for the kiss was so worth it. I think you gave us enough to really be there in that room with B&T while they shared that moment. That’s what I like about your story, that I can really see things happening. And yes, in real life cheating is one thing, but this is fanfic and best of all it’s Tibette fanfic… so no worries, you just let those girls be together… soon, so they can share more of those kisses! ;-) Thanks for the great story and PPS!
The kiss was so beautiful…The kiss, we have waited so long for it… The kiss they share was a forever,you are mine kiss..When Tina said” I need you to protect me” made tears come to my eyes.. If kissing is cheating, we all cheat most days. You see a friend and give them a kiss on the cheeck. A kiss between T&B is just a small piece of heaven. LH is the best kisser on the show. thanks so much for posting.
Another amazing chapter and my 1st time to comment. Love how you write…so much emotion and so true to the characters. Please post soon :)
