Great Unexpectations Chapter 1
Later that night in L.A.
In her apartment, Tina was sitting at her desk with various screenplays and assorted other papers littering her workspace. She was maniacally red-inking a particularly troubled page. "Fucking morons. Who told you that you could write?" she muttered. She was so engrossed in decimating the script that the sound of the doorbell made her jump. She looked up from the desk and tried to make out her visitor’s image through the patterned glass in the door. What she saw made her gasp. Those familiar long dark curls and gorgeous brown eyes that alluded to a hint of a smile sent quick shivers down her spine immediately. Oh shit. My hair, my breath. I look a mess. Tina momentarily panicked. Bette was looking at her through the door and wondering what was taking so long. Tina made eye contact as she rose from her desk. Get a grip, Tina. Answer the fucking door.
After what she feared was an inexcusably long internal dialogue (the exact type she would red-ink in a second if it showed up in a script she was developing) she rose and went to the door. As she fumbled with the lock she held up her finger to indicate "one second". She held her breath and turned the knob.
Bette walked in smiling "Sorry I came by so late", she whispered. Tina understood the whispering. If, by chance, Angie were still awake and heard Mama B it would be nearly impossible to keep her in bed.
"It’s ok. She’s sound asleep. I checked on her half an hour ago. I even lifted up her arm and let it drop. Nothing. She is out", Tina grinned.
They both giggled at how their daughter could sleep through an earthquake. Bette’s eyes sparkled which sent yet another round of tingles through her. Oh god. Did I really choose Henry over Bette? What was I thinking?
"…didn’t want to ring the doorbell. Glad I didn’t wake her up but,…uh T, are you okay?"
Tina was so lost in the sight of Bette, she didn’t even hear what she was saying. "Hmm? Oh, sorry", she said. "I was just really into my work. I guess I’m a little out of it." She shook her head as if to will her mind to the present.

Good start, I have wanted to know what Bette’s reaction would be if Tina told her the truth………..PPS
WOW ! What a great start.Hope you post more soon.Thanks ;)
Oh, this such a good start. If only this would happen in season 5. Please continue!
Happy Tina came to her senses and said something to Bette. Great start. PPS
Great start. You must continue.I do believe this is a little how it’s going to end up.. although not so quickly. I think that either Jodi will realise that B&T still have intense emotion for each other and force Bette into going back to her. OR B&T will move on, and finally close the chapter on their relationship.. giving them both a chance to move on – Bette with Jodi and Tina with someone new. I do believe that if the latter happens IC will have them dicuss the end of thier relationship. That’s how I see it in my head, although I could be completely wrong :) Anyway, post more! Soon!
wow that was the bomshell she dropped on bette hopefully bette will open her eyes and see what’s right in front of her.. pps
Great Beginning!!!I can’t wait to see Bette’s reaction. I hope it will be a good one.
Yeeeeesss! Finally what should of happened/ what should’ve been said at the end of S4. PPS. The ball’s in your court, Bette. PPS.
Weeeeeeee! I don’t think I was clear enough, so I will say it again. Weeeeeeeeeee!
So, so, so good – please post soon. I love this story! :)
I like this Bette who catches the subtle nuances of what is happening around her – it shows how she has changed while still remaining the same, if that makes sense. Looking forward to where you’re headed with this. Great job on your first efforts!! PPS
Ding ding ding, folks we have a winner, introducing the brand new S5 writer of the L word………I wish!!
Wow! :) Great!
I like the start of this one. Please post soon.
That’s it Tina, start as you mean to go on. No beating round the bush. Ace! I am intrigued, redhorse. Post soon.
Hot Damn!!!! I’m on board!!! PPS
Damn! that was good – I’m anticipating more.
Yey…a new season five story!! And, a fabulous start at that!! Thanks!
ohh wow right on!!
How could you possibly think this would suck?? Brilliant beginning… would love to see it on the show.
Awesome start. Bette will be shocked, but lets see if she’s willing to face her true feelings. I mean, she’s making love with Jodi but thinking its Tina. Hello, big sign, far bigger and more of a statement than 17 Reasons.
A terrific beginning. I think Mr. Dickens would approve.
That was great!
Wow, I love the story already, pps. I can’t wait for Bette’s response.
way 2 go…hope honesty pays off…i so do not like bette with jodi or anyone other than t…pps
Lovely start. I really like the scene with the shampoo and familiar scents. Please all powerful writer, do not dash our hopes against the rocks. Help Tina and Bette find their way back to each other…More , please, soon?
This is a great and promising beginning. Please go on.
Great Start!!! I am a long for the ride!!!!! PPS
Yes a happy story is what is needed. I like how you have Tina finally verbalizing what she should have said all along. Now let’s see what Bette’s response will be.
GRAT START!!!!I hope That can take placein Season 5!!!PPS
