Heartbeat – Chapter 11
Tina gave Bette a small smile as she heard the familiar voice. “You remembered.”
“How can I not remember? Is “The Power of Great Music” still your favorite album?” Bette can remember the countless of times she and Tina listened to that album, relaxed to that album and made love with that album playing in the background.
Tina smiled as remembered the same things Bette was remembering. “Yeah, it’s a great album.”
“When did you starting liking him again and what was the name of the song?” Bette teased the blonde, knowing what the answer was going to be.
Tina rolled her eyes. She knew Bette was playing with her. They had the same discussion before many times. Tina decided to play along. “Days of Our Lives, Bo and Hope…and the song is “Whatever We Imagine.””
Bette chuckled. “Right, you thought they were the greatest super couple.”
“They are the greatest super couple in soap history.” Tina defended.
“Are you saying they are better than my super couple?” Bette arched her eyebrow. “Because you know, if it were not for my super couple, there would be no other super couples out there.”
“Just because your super couple was the first couple out there doesn’t mean they’re the best.”
“Are you telling me that Luke and Laura are not the best? When I was in college, my friends and I scheduled our classes around “General Hospital”.” Bette informed Tina. “The great Elizabeth Taylor appeared on the show because of Luke and Laura.”
“What’s Luke and Laura’s theme song?” Tina gave Bette a quick glance as she drove down the highway.
“Their theme song?” Bette asked. She drew a blank.
“Do they even have a theme song?”
“Of course, they have a theme song. It’s…” Bette searched her memory.
“You don’t know what it is, do you?” Tina teased.
“I don’t like them because of a theme song. I like them because they were a great couple.” Bette crossed her arms defensively.
Tina glanced at Bette again and began to laugh. A hearty laugh which filled the car’s interior.
“What’s so funny?” Bette pouted, her bottom lip protruding slightly.
“You are.” Tina laughed. “Whenever we had this conversation, it always ends the same way.”
“Yeah, how?”
“You pouting with your arms crossed….Luke and Laura’s theme song is “Fascination”.” Tina began to hum the song to remind the brunette. She looked at Bette and saw her eyes lighting up in recognition.
"Right…" Bette said, mentally going over the tune.
The two women rode in silence for a few minutes as one song faded away and a new song began. Bette looked at the passing scenery, a blur of trees, mile markers and once in a while a deer or two.
“Are you still nervous about seeing Kit again?” Bette asked as she uncrossed her arms and turned to Tina. She noticed Tina was more relaxed, hoping their little banter did the job.
“No…not anymore, thank you." Tina reached out and gave Bette’s hand a squeeze, lingering longer than necessary before returing to the steering wheel. She smiled. Bette had taken away the nervousness she was feeling about seeing Kit. "It’s still a great album though.”
Bette agreed. The corners of her mouth lifted. "Yeah, it is a great album. One of his best.” Bette started to hum along and pretty soon Tina joined in. Bette reached over and returned the gesture. “Don’t be nervous with Kit. I’ll be there with you.”

♥ Bette and Tina ♥ It wasn’t just a filler. It was cute! Thx for posting
Whatever, my favorite couple is and always will be Bette and Tina. Thanks for another great chapter.
Great story, btw!
My favorite soap couple was Miguel and Charity. They had ridiculously crazy things happen to them, like everyone on Passions did, but they were sweet.
Great update. Thank you
The L word truly was like a soap opera. The writers should have had Erin Daniels come back as Dana’s long lost twin sister. OR, she didn’t really die, she faked her own illness and death because she needed a viable reason to get away from the chaos of her public life. She ends up coming back in season four as a realtor in the San Fernando Valley. OR her parents ferried her off for conversion therapy and she escaped to return the same as she ever was, and all the crazy people who think you can ‘pray the gay away’ get punished. Wow. Tangent there. I am in agreement on Bette and Tina as best couple. Dysfunctional as they were.
