Fire and Ice Chapter 23
April 1999
Eric began to feel knots seizing his stomach as he watched his girlfriend lightly touch and release Bette’s hand, their eyes heatedly staring into one another’s. As Bette parted from the blonde, she flashed an amazing smile at Tina, who blushed in return. Eric’s stomach fully lurched at the sight.
He swallowed hard, unsure of what he was actually seeing. Tina remained in the spot Bette had left her in, a peachy glow consuming her soft features. He didn’t know this look on Tina, he had never been graced with it…
Anger and confusion boiled simultaneously through Eric’s bloodstream. He began boldly walking towards Tina, determined to find out what the hell was going on.
Tina felt the energy of someone advancing on her, willing her out of her haze at once. Her face dropped when she recognized it was Eric, unable to hide her sudden remorse.
Eric flinched at Tina’s facial expression…it made him feel sick that he could evoke such a response from his own girlfriend.
He stood face to face with her, quizzing her expressions with his intent glare.
"What are you doing, Tina?" Eric asked, clearing restraining himself.
Tina exhaled hesitantly, her body numb with anxiety.
"I’m not doing anything…what do you mean…?" Tina tried her best to casually downplay whatever nervous energy she was releasing. It failed to work.
"I mean…where have you been? Where did you go…with Bette?" Eric wasn’t sure he was ready to learn the answers to his questions. He downed his wine in one gulp, staring hard at Tina.
"I just…I needed to use the bathroom, and she…Bette, just offered to let me use the one in her office…I was just using the bathroom…" Tina felt awful that she continued to perpetuate the lie. But this was all too new…she didn’t even know how she truly felt about the situation…everything was moving so fast. How could she possibly explain it to Eric?
"That looked like a lot more than a simple courteous gesture…" Eric was growing more defensive by the minute, sensing that Tina was not being up front with him.
"What are you talking about?" Tina wasn’t sure what Eric had seen and the fear shot through her body like a rocket.
Eric inched closer, aware that people were beginning to stare at their heated exchange.

I must say out of all the stories that include Eric this one made me feel somewhat bad for him but not bad enough to not want to read about the hottest couple ever. TIBETTE!
Wow, this story just gets better and better with each post!!! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to this wonderful tale!
Great update Fire…and I’m glad that you didn’t make Eric a total asshole. Of course he’s upset, he’s spent 2 years with her…if he wasn’t upset he’d be an asshole! You write beautifully!
A wonderfully written dramatic chapter. I felt like I was on the street watching the two of them come apart. Beautifully done, Fire! I can’t wait to see if Bette witnessed the speedy exit and comes to rescue her girl! I’m glad Eric is gone but Tina definitely needs some comforting…
take it like a man Eric!!!…sorry! did we see the last of him???? hmmmm…didn’t like the way he left,too bitter. NOW….let get to the “hotness” of Bette and Tina ;-) awesome as always fire………..PPS PPS PPS PPS
Just Amazing!!!! The way you write is just wonderful. Now will Tina turn to Bette? I just hope that when she does go to Bette it will be with an open mind and not alot of questions about all the other women Eric told her about. Great story PPVS
nice work t. Now on to more wonderful, lusciously fulfilling pastures. Godess fire starter, I know I am not alone with this heat that you have stoked in all of us. Please. Post. Soon.
Woweee Fire!! Only u could make me feel a little sorry for eric…that’s how Fantastic your writing is! And I’m sure I’m not the only one who does a happy dance whenever I see u have posted. So c’mon make me dance some more, please…:D
All break-ups are bloody messy, regardless of the reason. And all’s fair in love, right!
ouch! that’s painful.. i can certainly understand why your body was tense! but then again… it’s sooo well-written.. thanks a lot, fire. now go, loosen up (and write another chapter ;) )
Break ups are never easy but this one publicly painful. Hopefully, Bette will go look for Tina and comfort her. PS.
i am so glad eric is finally history.
Good riddance Eric. Hopefully Alice was watching this and alerted Bette. Surely Bette was lurking in the shadows or just out of sight near the door and heard everything and is now going to Tina to comfort her and offer to give her some place to stay when she removes her belongings from Eric’s place.Great update. PPS
Well writen.Tina does the right thing.Bye Eric, hello Bette !
well, it had to end somewhere & a sidewalk in Hollywood is as good as anywhere when 2 hearts are breaking. PPS.
I guess I’m just sadistic, but I really wanted to see Tina struggling with the homo thing while she was with Eric… And Bette would fall for her and not be sure if she would have her, since she was nowhere close to leaving him, but that’s just me! :) You did a great job, though. The best break up between Tina and Eric I’ve seen around here. Now I can only wait to see whether she’ll come down and how, and obviously how will Bette react if Tina won’t. Again, amazing story.
that was sad, but a relief at the same time. Will Tina let Bette console her? hmmm pps
When is Bette going to get what she really wants from Tina?? Great story
well i for one am glad tina broke it off with eric before any thing happened with bette.. and i feel for him… but life goes on… you did a good job writing this… now whats tina going to do… she is outside crying… does she go back or go home…PPS
Oops, calm down. :D
I’d be upset if Tina dumped me too! However, I think Eric is more upset because 1)he thinks Tina publicly humiliated him and 2)it was for a woman. I’m curious to see what will happen next. Will Bette go to Tina? Will Tina run to Bette? Will Tina just leave? So many possiblities, but which ever direction it takes, I know it will be done beautifully because your writing is masterful. PPS!
Nicely done, not exactly the best place to break up but it had to happen right? So let’s see what is going happen with tina since eric through her out….:)PPS
Good old Eric – he and Tim are like the martyrs for all mankind – bless them. You did a wonderful job describing something that is just not a happy place to be in. PPS
Well it had to happen sooner or later, glad it was sooner now our girls have a chance to get together! PPS
ERic needed to go, too bad it was in such a public way, but he was the one who wanted to discuss it right now. Bette needs to tred lightly, cos now Tina’s going to want to know about the 100’s of women.
everyone would want to blame both Tina and Bette, If she had really loved Eric, she wouldnt have fallen in love with Bette. Erics is a male ego thing. Not love but people knowing his G/F left him for a woman. Hated that thing happen the way it did,but like it behind them and now they can go forward
About time Tina saw sense and dumped Eric.
SUCKY for Tina. I hope she can deal with her feelings for Bette now.
good eric is done and now let Bette there for Tina!
