Great Unexpectations Chapter 30
"No. Please don’t. Let’s just chalk it up to temporary insanity."
"It’s a deal. For a kiss."
Tina pretended to give it serious consideration before saying, "You drive a hard bargain." She rested her hands on Bette’s hips and leaned in for a warm soft kiss.

The sidewalks of Michigan Avenue were filled to brimming with shoppers, tourists and street performers. On every corner it seemed, there was some entertainment to be had. Musicians, acrobats, and even the dreaded mime. Bette and Tina strolled happily toward the Art Institute of Chicago, along the way pointing out boutiques they’d like to peruse if given ample time.
They arrived at the massive concrete steps of the museum and climbed their way to the entrance passing on the way several people sitting on the steps either engrossed in a book, eating their lunch, or simply watching passers by.
Once inside Bette led the way to the galleries exhibiting the seventeenth and eighteenth century European paintings. Home. The art she’d cut her teeth on in school. Bette seemed lost in her own world as she gazed at the masterpieces and Tina seemed lost in a world of her own as she gazed at Bette. She listened intently, adoringly, while Bette softly spoke on the use of light and shadows. Texturing. About the social-political importance of a given piece. About the emotional and sometimes physical torment that the artists experienced in bringing their visions to canvas. Caught up in her thoughts, Bette hadn’t noticed that Tina was no longer by her side. She hadn’t noticed that in Tina’s place stood a number of patrons, a number greatly similar to fifteen, who were hanging on her every word. Enthralled by her easy passion and compelling tenor. She hadn’t noticed that Tina was now watching her from afar. Hadn’t noticed that, at that very moment, Tina was falling in love with her all over again.
It was not an unusual occurrence for Tina to fall in love with Bette. It happened at least once a day. It was usually when she woke up in the morning and felt Bette’s arms around her. Or when she watched Bette read to Angelica. Or when she watched Bette brush her teeth. Falling in love played no favorites. It need not be surrounded by candle light and flowers. It only needed Bette and Tina.

Supercool to see you back in great form. I love your mix of suspense and B&T lovin’. Will there soon be a real proposal??
Glad to see your back. I am so loving this. PPS Thanks
Wow… this was some funny, intriguing, sexy and lovely gi-normus chapter!!! Angy was sooo sweet… she is like her momma B!! Mmm… Is T going to propose B someday?? Please don’t take so long to post, we miss you (and the story of course)!!! PPS!!
Bette falling asleep on Tina was adorable, but I’m glad they made up for missed opportunities the next day. It’s entirely plausible that a power-suited Bette might be mistaken for a tour guide and brilliantly rise to the occasion. What a terrific scene; I was mesmerized right along with Tina and the crowd. Can’t wait to see if Faye’s apparent breakthrough pans out. Thanks for posting!
great story loving it. are you from michigan if you are so i,m i flint
Well, well, well Red, welcome back and thanks for another great chapter. Md
Missed ya, Red! Bette falling asleep on Tina was funny, but it’s a good thing they were able to make up for it the next morning! PPS
Dang, hope that it is in the summer because the bay would be aweful cold in the winter. I love how much Bette and Tina love each other and are willing to show it. The day trip was funny with Bette garnering a fan following with her every move. I would have been front and center in that group and I would only be looking at her not the art work.
thx; come back soon.
Cagney and Lacey, huh? Which one of them got to play the “good” cop? Richard blew it… I thought Bette was supposed to be the scary one? And hell yeah for Bette in a power suit! That could never disappoint, nor can your writing. Great chapter, red. Thanks for the post.
And you were worried that no one would remember your story or read it?! LOL. Another great update – so many different moments/emotions, quite the fun ride I must say. I makes me want to go back and read this one from the beginning! Hope you’ll have time to keep on with your story, we’d all be devastated if you didn’t. PPS
Hey red, happy to see you back. Too funny with the museum scene. I can picture the crowd looking around for their guide after the intermission. Love the whispered nightly proposal also… just hope you allow Tina to vocalize it outside of Bette’s REM-cycle one time!! Anxious to see what lit Faye’s fire and what she finds in Traverse City. Love the story!
Great chapter. Love B&T’s love and they are sweet. Hope this is time to find Cora and ending the drama. Please post more, thanks!
Hello Red, Good to have you back and with this wonderful post you are most welcome. Life is on an even keel atm so I’ll PM you later with further details. As for this latest addition, it was heart-warming to see the gals ga-ga over Angelica and then reconnecting in the most primal of physical pleasures. I love the fact that Tina constantly falls for Bette and that this adoration is returned in full. They are each putting everything in to their relationship and being able to talk to each other is wonderful. This case of mistaken identity as a tour guide was LOL, Tina’s gentle amusement was sweet. Good to see Bette at her best even if she did fall asleep the previous night just as Tina was revealing her soul.I think that this run in with Faye is bringing out the best in Bette and Tina. As for their search for Cora, Richard was funny as he manhandled Jason. Intriguing stuff that I can wait to read more and see how it all plays out. Many, many thansk for returning and sharing this excellent adventure with me. Your Loyal Fan.
LOL@Bette’s little fan club. XD And mmmmm for power suits!
Ahhhhhh……Bette in a power suit. Bette out of a power suit. Love them both! Hope this leed pans out. PPS!!
