Great Unexpectations Chapter 33
Tina neared him, still studying his face. Her eyebrows furled. She slowly leaned her head back with a slow smile. "Careful there, Jenkins. People might start accusing you of having a heart", she winked. Bette couldn’t help but notice that Jenkins fought a smile at Tina’s wink. She couldn’t exactly blame him. Tina had one hell of a wink.
***************************************************
After the meeting they decided to walk the streets of downtown and canvas the local merchants yet again. They avoided going into the store in which Richard accosted the young clerk. But they did keep an eye on it from across the street. Just in case Cora came back. They passed a jewelry store and Tina stopped to window shop the rings. There was a small assortment of bands ranging from platinum to gold with various diamond settings. Bette stood behind Tina and admired their reflection in the glass. "Tina", Bette whispered into her ear. "We have plenty of time for that. Come on sweetie."
Tina nodded and smiled. "Ok, Bette."
They spent hours walking downtown. They crossed the busy highway and began walking the sidewalk along the beach. It stretched out for a couple of miles and was filled with hundreds of sunbathers, swimmers, picnickers, a few assorted lifeguards. Not nearly as bad as looking for that oft spoke of needle in a haystack, but still quite a daunting task.
They stayed on the beach until dusk. They scanned the crowd as it thinned but saw no sight of Cora. They went home home quietly. And called Angelica.
***************************************************
The next day was better. No meetings with Jenkins for one thing. For another, Richard was back in form. Well, he’d showered and shaved anyway. He still smelled of scotch but as long as he didn’t let it affect his work Bette and Tina decided to let it go. For now.
They walked the streets again, thankful for the pleasant weather. Early summer on the bay was sometimes a gamble, but the temperature started out meekly in the mornings and worked up to the mid seventies by afternoon. The rain was holding off which kept the beaches fairly populated. They stopped at a diner for a quick lunch and to revamp their strategy.

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.
