Heartbeat – Chapter 7
Sophia turned to her friend. She placed her hand on the blonde’s shoulder. “How does she feel about you?”
“Bette’s wife…soon-to-be ex-wife…told me that she still loves me.”
“Well, that’s good right? Do you still love her?”
“Last night…I was on my way home and I couldn’t leave. Seeing her again after all these years…”
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m scared…I hurt her so much…so many things happened our last year together…me leaving my career, trying to get pregnant, finding a donor, the miscarriage, Faye Buckley, Candace and Oscar…so many things.” Tina’s eyes began to fill. “I don’t know if she’s forgiven me for the hurt I caused her.”
“Well, there’s only one way to find out. Think of this as a new beginning…maybe you and Bette have unfinished business. She’s here.” Sophia pulled her friend in for a hug. “Chris,” she paused and held her friend at arms’ length, “or should I call you Tina?”
“Call me with whatever you’re comfortable with.”
“Sweetie, invite her to the beach house. She told me she had three weeks off before the new semester starts. Spend time together and get to know each other again.”
“Invite her? I don’t know…”
“Look, it will give the two of you a chance to talk and see if there’s still something there.”
**************
Tina put the car in park and shut off the engine. She let out a breath and turned to face Bette who had fallen asleep during the two-hour drive down. Earlier she had stopped at a rest stop to get some gas and while waiting for the car to fill, she reclined the seat so that Bette would be in a more comfortable position. She grinned at the memory when Bette didn’t even stir.
Tina watched Bette sleep. A lock of hair had fallen across the brunette’s face. Carefully, Tina gently moved the lock of hair and tucked it behind Bette’s ear. She let her fingers linger and her fingers traced Bette’s jaw line. “Bette,” she whispered. “We’re here.” She gently shook the brunette.
Bette felt a caress on her face. She heard Tina calling her. “We’re here,” she heard the voice say. Bette’s eyes fluttered open. She saw Tina’s face looking back at her.” Bette covered her mouth and yawned. “Are we here?” Bette yawned and stretched her arms. Her shirt grew tight across her chest. Bette righted her seat. “How did my seat recline?”

Thanks for the update
Great update. I knew Tina would take Bette to the beach!! Thanks for the great chapter and PPS!!
As for pacing – whatever suits you, I’m along for the read. So, am I reading that there was cheatin’ all over the place? Tina/Oscar and Bette/Candace? I got the impression from previous chapters that Bette couldn’t forgive Tina for the affair with Oscar, so maybe that was a misunderstanding on my part. In any case…bring on weeks at the beach house!
Your story is a little reminiscent of pancha’s story of Bette and The Senator romancing on the New England coast but w/a twist. Very enjoyable.
Yay!!! Wonderful update, loved it. Hope something can happen for them this time. The garden shows just how much Tina misses her by recreating it. Keep the same pace if you will, it works well for the story. However, do whatever works for you. I think three weeks at the beach house would be a great time to renew their relationship since they most certainly still love ech other. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for the update. The pacing is fine as it takes time to rekindle if it’s meant to be. Let them savor the flavor of each other again.
