Great Unexpectations Chapter 33
"Because", Bette interrupted, seeing that this little exchange was going nowhere good. And quickly at that. "We made a promise to Faye. We’re not going anywhere until we find her daughter. Deal with it."
He dealt with it in the only way that was within his ability to at the moment. With a shot. Bette rolled her eyes and glanced at Tina. They calmly gathered their purses and headed for the door.
Before walking out Tina turned to Richard with an iota of pity. "Look Richard. I know this is hard for you. You were obviously very close to Faye. And I know that you feel you let her down. I know this because that’s how we feel. That’s why we’re giving you one day. You have one day to wallow in your misery. One day to get stupid drunk and cry or do whatever the hell it is you think you have to do. One day. But tomorrow morning you are back on the job. Got it? We’re not giving up and we’re not gonna let you give up either."
Tina walked outside and Bette closed the door behind them. Tossing out her threat/ promise, "We’ll see you tomorrow. First thing." After the door closed he took the next in the long succession of shots to be had that day.
*********************************************
Bette and Tina decided that even though Richard had the day off, they did not. Trying to figure out where a kid aged 19 or 20 might hang out, their first venture was away from the downtown area. To the local shopping mall. It wasn’t as big as the malls back home in L.A. It only had one floor. No need for an escalator or elevator. It showcased a small six screen cinema that provided primarily family friendly entertainment. There was the standard issue food court with obligatory merry-go-round. It only took about two hours to determine that no L.A. kid would spend any more time than necessary in the quaint mall offered by Traverse City. They left, a little disappointed, but not entirely without hope. "We can always come back if nothing else pans out", they agreed.
"We should go back downtown", Tina suggested. "We already know she was there. Maybe she hangs out there. It’s not as crowded. If she’s looking to ‘get away’ it makes sense. Plus, the beach is right there. Maybe she’s working on her tan."

Woah. Now what? Loved the Intimate Bette and Tina stuff.. even the breakdown was good.
Yes!! To the nolten hotness at the beginning of the chapter, to the surprise ending, (and also cos you’ve posted again), that was one of those triumphant-fist-in-the-air moments. It’s weird, but I think Faye’s death is making Bette and Tina stronger in a way. And now they’ve found Cora! I hope they can keep her safe. And I hope their efforts to keep Cora from the Black Hats and that jerk Mr Buckley doesn’t involve anything that lands Richard in jail… I’m still wondering: what was the favor Tina wanted from Kit? I’m stoked you’ve posted again, red. Ace chapter, thanks!
Erm… molten. (See? It was that hot I can’t type for my own brain mushiness.)
Yeh!! They found Cora, or Cora found them. It’s all good. Glad Tina was able to forgive Bette so quick. PPS!!
Awesome cliffhanger! I love the Tibette bonding too. Every time their relationship starts to go off track, they have the good sense to talk things out.
Great chapter! I especially loved the scene where Tina gets Bette to admit that her “sneaking out at night” wasn’t the smartest thing to do. But I can truly see Bette doing anything to avoid failure. Good thing Tina is there to support her. PPS.
Finally, they get a break. Thanks to Bette’s sneaking out and Tina getting mad at her and unable to sleep. If Tina had not decided to run and meet up with Richard they would have never come across Cora.
Thanks god finally Cora is here and now take her home and tell her everything. Glad B&T are ok. Please post more, thanks!
jp22, I can tell you what Tina wanted Kit to do, “bring Angelica to Michigan.” So happy to see this post tonight. And equally happy that Cora bumped into them, now hopefully they can get her back to California w/o her father knowing where she is and keep him from her. And maybe Richard can see that the bstard is arrested. Thaks for posting. PPS
Woohoo, they found her! Now comes the difficult part of convincing her to stay and listen. Great update. Please don’t scare us by telling us you are done with NC-17–you write them so well :)
Hey RE, I am totally GOB-SMACKED! After everythign that the gals and Richard have been through it is awesome that they have forund Cora. I reallly can’t wait to see how this all plays out. I really am hopeful of a happy ending as Tina just asked Bette to marry her. That would be the most magnificent finale after everything that they have been through. The beginning of this chapter demonstrated yet again why Bette and Tina have to end up together. Even when Bette resorted to old behaviors and tried to protect Tina, Tina calls her out and get Bette to admit her failing. This is Tina’s true power; getting to Bette’s heart and soul and making her face everythign that she is. Truly awesome. Can’t wait to read more of this fabulous Fan Fiction. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
What a chapter, red! Not to put myself in the horndog catagory, but glad you continued where the last post left off. So,so sexy and loved Tina continuing to ask her nightly question. I almost hate that they found Cora knowing that it signals the impending end to your fabulous story. Thanks for such a wonderful read!
well red, you’ve out done yourself again. the natives don’t seem as riled by this cliffhanger, maybe because it din’t end with Tina’s hands in bette’s pants! Excellent twist with the running into Cora, literally. it’s funny cause that’s what happens when i lose something – i look and look and can’t find it and then when i least expect it, voila, there it is right in front of my face. can’t wait to see what happens next but it better not be a month before i do! PPS!!!!!!
u sure worked that chapter. Great stuff.
This was a great chapter from beginning to end. Can’t wait for your next post. Thanks.
WOW!!!! Page 1 was so HOT!!!!! I am glad they found Cora. Thanks PPS
I love that Tina forced Bette’s hand and broke down that wall. I can’t wait for Tina’s surprise, I am assuming Kit is bringing Angelica to them. But most of all, WHOO-HOO, Cora has been found. A new round of drama is about to begin I am sure.
