Driving – – Chapter 27
Bette looked at her. “I hate the sound of that.”
“Well, I think we have to face it” her voice rose “it wasn’t right now.”
Bette became angry and the anger surpassed her humiliation. She needed to fix this situation.
“T, I’m not letting this go.”
Tina exhaled sharply and shook her head. “It’s not just your decision.”
Bette was hurt and she was angry at Tina’s pessimism, which she felt as more rejection. She tried to collect herself and think. All the effort to get Tina to see her and to stay and to listen. What about the hours they had spent together here in Taos? Today had been their best day yet. It was just too cruel to feel it dissolve between them now in this bed.
Bette took a deep breath and tried to speak calmly.
“T, today was a great day for me. I loved every moment we were together on that mountain. And even before that,” she drew herself up on her elbow and faced Tina. “when you woke me up this morning and we went out on the balcony, that was unforgettable.”
Tina turned her head. What Bette was saying was true. Today had been a really nice day. Even their conversation on the mountain although tense, was honest. Bette had been sweet and tender and very cute. Tina blamed herself again for trying to push them to intimacy. But still that kiss, that desire she felt was real and familiar.
Bette was searching Tina’s face for some sign of agreement or recognition, but Tina was lost in her thoughts.
“T?” Bette said gently.
“Huh?”
“I think we should try to forget about this and go back to just having some fun together.”
Tina looked at her for what seemed like a long time without saying anything. Bette raised her eyebrows, and Tina said calmly.
“Then we should start by getting out of this bed.”
Bette nodded. “And then we should get out of the room.”

The blister on Tina’s foot limited their walking range, although it was a beautiful night and the fresh air was already acting as a tonic for both of them.

Thanks for continuing this story. It is one of my very favorites.
I guess I should be glad you don’t post more often, else I’d get hyperbolic anxiety trying to suppress my slavish praise.
I guess I should be glad. But I’m not!
Love this story.
It’s a fave of mine also. So glad you are back.
Eek – the format! Sorry folks, I’ll try to fix it asap.
Glad you’re continuing!!!

Beautiful chapter, I hope you continue and SOON.
If I could I’d free you from all the writer’s blocks you feel
Give you courage because your writing is so real
Yes, I would, if I could. (Dont’ hurt me, Regina)
Your imagery is so beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us. That scene in the pool was stunning!
Thanks for adding another beautiful chapter. Please post soon… :p
Hello Massmom: It is such a treat to see this wonderful story back up for all of us who has missed it dearly. I loved how they ended their night in that calming and sensual water. “Desert Hearts.” Ah yes one of my favorites. I am hoping that we will soon see another update. Excellent as always.
This is wonderful!
Ahhh. Every chapter a gift. Always miss you when you’re gone, always appreciate it when you’re back. Thanks so much for continuing.
AHhh Massmom, my heart strings are being tugged so hard right now. The way you tell them is so moving. I love how Tina is leading in her halting way and how Bette is following. You get the feeling the Bette would follow Tina anywhere. Thanks for this chapter I know how writing this can be such an effort. It is so appreciated here. Thanks
Great to have you back! this is a great update….thank you
I think I’m going to have to see Desert Hearts again because I missed the reference. If I had to guess, it would be Tina returning the beers to the guys??? It’s been a long time since I’ve drooled over the desert women….
Glad you were able to write this chapter. The emotions are raw and true. You are able to take the characters we all know, put them in a place we don’t know, and we still recognize these women because your portrayal is so authentic! Yeah Massmom!
I missed you and this story. I’m not a writer but I do understand the concept of writer’s block. Hope you’ve been able to over come it b/c I’d love to see where this story goes.
Bittersweet. Good though. I missed your posts. I hope you’ll be able to post again soon.
I am so glad you decided to come back to this story. I was wondering what ever happened to this story. Please continue…..great job with this chapter, the emotions are very real.
