Every Glance Speaks – Chapter 8
It makes sense but I’m dubious about leaving her with Eric. I have faith that Bette will give just as much as he would but I’ve known Eric a long time and he can get very aggressive when confronted.
“Um.. Bette, he’s angry. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
She studies my face as another crash startles us both.
“I won’t let him hurt either of us, Tina. You said you’d trust me.” She says with incredible sincerity.
I nod quickly and start up the corridor, she grabs my hand and brings it to her lips before pointing to a door at the end of the passageway. I nod again and turn away, still reeling from her touch.
I reach the door and I see her waiting for me to enter before turning the key. I shut the door behind me and press an ear. Sure enough, a short while later I hear a bang, evidently from a door being swung open and Eric’s voice calling my name.
Bette’s calm voice floats through the door but I can barely hear her for Eric’s shouting.
“I refuse to talk to you until you calm down. As for Tina, she left a little time ago, I’m afraid. Is there anything else I can help you with?”
I turn to face the room she sent me to, it appears to be a personal studio. I walk away from the door and glance at the works surrounding me. An easel stands near the centre of the room with a collage of images. I approach it and recognise the centrepiece as Eric’s snapshot of her and the boy.
Moments later the door closes with a click and Bette’s advancing to my side.
“Is this your studio?” I ask, knowing from the ordering of the room that the answer will be ‘yes’.
She nods and I motion to the easel before us.
“Tonight’s exhibition?”
“No” She says, “It’s just a few personal favourites of mine.”
She points to Eric’s picture.
“Recognise that one?” She asks me but I don’t answer as she’s looking at the picture again, her eyes squinting in thought. She takes me right hand and steps behind me. She’s sculpting my arm to match that in the picture and I know she knows.
I bend my arms under her touch; allow her to mould my body. When she’s finished, she stands to the side. She takes my outstretched palm and smiles. When she looks up at me, there are unexplained tears threatening her eyes.
“Erm, yes. Actually, I do recognise it.” I say, smiling shyly at her.

Sweet! I glad Bette could get Tina away from Eric without having to resorting to violence. I love the conection these two are having and I hope they can figure out a way to get rid of the creep for good. Financial ruin sounds good to me if it can be done without hurting Bette’ galery.
Loved it. You’ve written them to be very intense and its working. Glad you chose to continue it.
Love how your bringing these two together, any B&T begining is alright with me. Eric on the other hand so needs to go. I have every faith in Bette that she’ll take care of him.
Bette will kick Eric`s ass la la la! This time i´m not late!xD No I will not forget! Im gonna send it now! :DGreat chapter and please post more soon! :D
I’m loving the history, is one of the best Bette and Tina begginings. Please keep posting and be mercyful with us and write more than one or two pages!
I’m delighted you’ve found a way to advance the story. Tina’s desire for Bette was beautifully expressed in this installment. The beast named Eric has got to go!
So good!! I hope Tina can get rid of Eric soon so she can spend all of her time with Bette. PPS!!

So happy to see you continue with this one! Love the way you write the connection between the two of them. Great chapter.
Fantastic update.
First, thanks for keeping this story alive. I can now breathe easy! LOL. And second, your muse has definitely returned because the update was awesome. I love the idea of sneaky passage ways!! PPS
This story is happy and sad at the same time. I can not explain why I feel that way. Tina seems this meek and lovely woman who Eric runs all over. When she is in the presence of Bette her whole demeanor changes. She becomes stronger.
This was the first fic I read when I got home today! This is a fabulous B&T beginning you are developing. As for Eric….GRRRRRR. Keep up the fantastic job. PPS!
Bette is awesome!
Yey! I´m so glad you decided to continue with this story. I absolutely love the way you write, it´s so strong you can feel what they are feeling. And as to the beast, I´m with OneStorm1 here, financial ruin sunds great… thanks for this great chapter and for continuing the story. Have a great day..
