Great Unexpectations Chapter 3
She invited Tina in and tried to play off her reaction as ‘butterfingers’.
Tina nodded in acceptance of the excuse but she knew Bette was struggling with her feelings. Stop fighting it, Bette. Stop fighting me.
She decided to rescue Bette from the moment with a change of subject. "What’s for dinner?" She asked, setting the wine down as she went to greet her daughter who was occupied with her toys in the living room. She squealed with delight as she reached up for Mama T. Mama T obliged deftly swooping up her daughter with one arm while still holding the flowers.
"Well, I was thinking Chicken Pomodoro, but if that sounds like too much-"
"No. That sounds nice. Guess I’d better get started. Um, these are for you", she said as she handed Bette the flowers, allowing Tina to fully hug her daughter with both arms. Bette smiled as she took in the fragrance they provided.
"They’re beautiful T. And so are you, by the way. But I guess you figured that. I mean, the whole towel dropping thing gave that away I suppose."
Tina smiled as Bette leaned in to kiss her on the cheek. She handed Angelica off to Bette as she tried to hide her letdown at yet another opportunity her anxious lips had missed. Her smile straightened and the glint in her eyes faded slightly as she made her way to the kitchen. Bette hung her head down after Tina had passed her. I am so fucking tired of being afraid!! Still, she wasn’t sure how to get past this emotional block. She set Angie back down to attend to her play things as she joined Tina in the kitchen to finish the salad. They stood side by side, silently as they worked. Bette soon regretted the fact that she had started the salad before Tina arrived, for now she was done and had no excuse to stay in the kitchen.
She wandered into the living room and looked through her CD collection for some music. She picked five discs, loaded the player, and set it to ‘shuffle’. She poured two glasses of Tina’s wine and took one to her in the kitchen. Tina accepted it quietly and took a sip. Bette stood beside her and put her arm around her and kissed her softly on her temple. "I love you T. So much." Tina nodded, but otherwise did not react, instead pretending to focus on the preparation of dinner. Bette left Tina to her work and walked slowly back to the living room as the music played.

Weeeeeeeeee! (Sorry, just woke up. No energy for more words).
“Bette followed Tina’s glance and found the dish cloth, full of betrayal that it was, looking up at her smugly.” I love your writing!! Please continue soon!
I bet Tina thinks this is about Jodi instead of Henry. Bette should talk to her and tell her what is bothering her! PPS
How many cold showers must they endure? The slow build makes total sense given all their baggage (Henry!), but in the end they should heed Janis’s advice.
I like you story very much. Just went back and read everything. PPS
Hey Red great post! I think Tina knows what’s going on with Bette. Bette shouldn’t be afraid to tell Tina what’s going on, and Tina shouldn’t shut down on Bette. They have to be able to talk to each other about their fears and other bad feelings as well as their good feelings. I loved your take off of Willow and Tara’s conversation (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) there at the end Red! Sweet! I’m lovin’ it! More please!
Where I merely have heard this before?… oh yes, Tara sends her greetings!
awesome chappy…please continue this soon…..i love it……
well u left us hanging with the invitation to kiss…u nasty…pps
Hack right on through that Gordian knot, Bette. You go, girl! Excellent chapter, red, please post more soon.
Yeah, that Henry thing would be difficult to hack through. Bette never doubted her own sexuality as an adult. She’s nervous that Tina will have another itch? PPS.
Great chapters…:clap: : clap:PPS
It feels right that they would have to rebuild their relationship slowly to be solid again, and learn to be together again. And I love to read your description of this seduction game, it’s slow sweet torture, it’s pleasure!
bette was right, they both went through a lot and tina also needs to forget a lot, so maybe skipping it and go back to kissing is the best idea, they can talk between kisses
What great story, glad I caught up with it! I can really see this happening next season for our girls-hopefully! Please post soon.
You stole Tara’s lines!
Awesome!
