Fallacy (Part 2)
“How did you do it?” Tina asked from behind her. Bette didn’t need to turn, so she stared at the chessboard.
“I said if she didn’t go to sleep, I’d never buy her a bike.”
“That’s the way to do it,” Tina said. She took Bette’s hand and leaned her head against her shoulder. “Tough love.”
“Right.”
“Do you want to talk about it?”
“About what?”
Tina smiled up at her. “Anything.”
Bette shifted uncomfortably and regarded the chessboard again. “Do you want to finish the game?”
Tina clucked her tongue dismissively, unlatching her hand from Bette’s as she moved to clean up. “You’ll chase me around the board for an hour, constantly putting me in check, and eventually you’ll just capture my king and it’ll be over. I’ve seen this one.”
“I am pretty relentless in my pursuit,” Bette said and a fond smile came to her lips.
“Bette.” Tina turned, the chess game cleaned up and the board stacked on the coffee table. She caught her lower lip between her teeth again, but this was different, this was concern and frustration and it hurt Bette to look at it. She glanced away, scratching idly at her head.
“What?”
“There’s something wrong. You can tell me, you know.”
As Bette hesitated, Tina drifted closer, set her hands on Bette’s shoulders. This was familiar. She felt Tina’s hand on her cheek and then she brushed her hair out of her eyes, tried unsuccessfully to smooth it behind her ear. Why this fascination with my hair? Bette had asked once, and if she recalled correctly, the answer had been something like It’s the only part of you that has no order to it.
Bette swallowed hard and ignored the tightening in her stomach.
“I know you probably think I’m imagining things,” Tina said softly, “but” She shrugged a little, an endearing action that made Bette smile.
“I would never doubt your powers of perception,” she replied.
“Ooh,” Tina said with a grin. “Enigmatic.” She punctuated it with a kiss and then pulled her closer, pressing another warm, open-mouthed kiss against Bette’s lips. “Baby?”
“Yes,” Bette muttered, trying to breathe; Tina tangled her fingers in Bette’s hair.

wow…no other words…wow!
Damn this is sad Bette need to talk to Tina and tell her how she feel, this so much pain for Bette and fear that Tina will leave her. Post soon please, thanks!
This is a great story though at times I find it makes me quite sad and depressed. Bette so needs to get over the fear of losing Tina, and learn to talk to her. I’m not sure what Tina can do to reassure her she’s not going anywhere, but knowing Tina she’ll listen if Bette will just talk.
I’ve been having a look at authors I haven’t had a chance to read before, and happened on your stories. Both this and “Broken Girls with Strange Frames” were really just… outstanding. I’m not sure if you’re still around, but I’d love to see you posting again.
This is so brilliant, it’s so wonderfully done; so very very sad and you can actually physically feel Bette’s pain. God, you’re good! Just found this and had to comment.
this story is just so deep and raw. I often wonder when things seem to be going good for myself what is gonna happen next. This is awesome writing looking forward to the next chapter
That’ll be me, over there on the cliff’s edge.
Last one off is a rotten egg!
I am scared to death where your talent, in the service of this story, will take me. Yet, awestruck, I cannot look away.
Thank you.
How different is your writing style in this story compared with the other story written from Alice’s POV! Yet how brilliant have you captured the characters’ voices at different stages in their lives! You have thought and written “beyond the square” again! No cliches from you though.
Looking forwards to being further mesmorized by your writing.

Great chapter. I like this insight.
Apt descriptions of how our desires can take us somewhere without our emotions necessarily joining the fray. Wicked good writing. Bloody brilliant really.
Very well-written.
i was wondering when you’ll ever come back. you show us the characters in such a truthful, if painful, light.
dear rachel_raj, please come back!
