Just thinking back about it made her blush strongly.
She hadn’t found yet an opportunity to apologize to her, and for some reason, she was really starting to get frustrated about it. For some reason, she couldn’t deal with the fact that Bette Porter would think of her as a pompous snob.
The young professor had been very discreet and tactful about the whole incident. She knew that because when she had admitted her mistake to Alice, the latter had burst out laughing and told her that Bette had said nothing about it.
Engrossed in her thoughts, Tina’s eyes had subconsciously found Bette, who was sitting besides Alice. The brunette was talking to Carmen, on her other side, and the conversation looked pretty serious, given the expression of her eyes and of her whole demeanor.
‘Focused’, Alice had said about her, ‘The workholic type’.
‘She’s probably telling Carmen about her work…’, Tina thought while staring at the two women’s exchange.
Yet, Tina found herself annoyed by their close interaction and that thought surprised her immensely.
————————————————————————————————
Dinner was wrapping up, and people started to gather near the dance floor.
Bette was having a good time.
She had talked a lot to Alice but also Dana, whom she had met once or twice before. She knew several other guests as well, some of them distinguished members of the science community. And she had also had an interesting conversation with Carmen, Helena Peabody’s sister, who was from Mexico but had travelled a lot in South America. She was very interested in health issues in that region, and Bette had been happy to tell her about some of her previous research expeditions there and in other places.
She was having a good time.
The ceremony had been simple but nice, and the ‘no’ incident had made her laugh. Although, she couldn’t help but feel for Tina. And it wasn’t just this incident, she had noticed that the beautiful bride had often found herself alone, when Helena was off to greet a distinguished guest, or take an important phone call, or secure an urgent business deal. The blonde would never show any sign of being affected, but Bette could clearly see the hint of sadness and melancholy in her eyes.
The mistake of the morning had been quickly forgotten. She had even found it very funny afterwards, and after all, it had given her the opportunity to meet Tina. Granted, a very unsual opportunity, but one that neither of them would ever forget. The blonde’s embarassment had amused her for a brief moment, but very quickly she had felt bad and wished to talk to her, make her feel better about the whole thing. But between the ceremony and dinner, the married couple had been monopolized by their guests and she had not found the right opportunity.

friends huh????????? watch out helena ur wife is already slipping away.
Yeah, sure, ” some people are meant to meet and become friends ” and some people are meant to meet and become lovers ! LOL !! This was another great chapter, K. I laughed my -beep- off when I pictured Helena yelling “NOOOO, Henry !” on the phone instead of “I do” to Tina and to the Mayor. In fact, it doesn’t even seem THAT farfetched after all if one has season 2-Helena in mind, does it ? Then again, season 1 and 2-Bette could have done that too I guess, huh ? … LOL ! Well, I’m glad your Bette seems completely different then… BTW, did I mention I love this immensely charming Professor Bette Porter ?… She’s so sweet and cute ! I was even surprised that she didn’t admit to Tina that she herself thought she looked like a waitress… But then again, she wasn’t mistaken for any waitress, she was mistaken for the main waitress ! Hehehe ! Anyway, WE WANT MORE OF THIS, K !! PLEEEEAASE !
Not in this life time will they be friends Helena is a wee bit crazy. It will be her lost some day that business was more important than her bride. thanks
I wonder how you are going to get B&T together now that T’s a married woman, especially if Bette is “a woman of principles…”
Your story reminds me of a true-life tale I heard from a friend: On the day of her wedding, at THE CEREMONY, she ran off with her soccer player groom-to-be’s SISTER. They lived happily ever after that for seven years. So, I guess anything is possible,certainly in fiction! And the sooner Tina ditches this distracted Helena, the better. Thanks!
Okay, now that Tina has married the other woman, and Bette has come into her life, isn’t time for the other woman to, ummm leave? You know that the Hel woman is way to busy to stay married to Tina, so that means that Bette and Tina can get to know one another better, right?
‘Maybe some people are meant to meet and become friends, she thought.’ Mmm-hmmm, but not Bette and Tina. They are meant to be more. :) PPS!
meant to be in love is more like it. I love your story.pps
