How We Do Things Here – Chapter 4
“Really?” She said, tilting her head, feigning disappointment, “So why don’t you tell me about who was supposed to be here”
“Nah. Like I said, not important.” Tina said, shaking her head.
Bette playfully swiped at her arm from across the table. As she did this, Tina caught hold of Bette’s hand. Hazel eyes found chocolate ones and both girls’ smiles widened.
Tina cleared her throat but kept a hold on Bette’s hand. She watched as their hands fell on the table, contrasting perfectly.
“So, um, Bette.. I’ve met some of your friends..” She looked down at the table, her beating heart quickening as she asked the terrifying question that she felt had the potential to ruin her at that moment, she gulped and continued “Do I get to meet a boyfriend?”
Tina refused to let her eyes meet Bette’s as she waited for the reply. Bette was stunned. It had been a long time since someone had asked her about the opposite sex. She was a very much ‘out’ lesbian. Everybody knew she was gay. Everybody but Tina, apparently.
She hesitated, wondering why Tina couldn’t see it was women, and specifically her, that that Bette was into. She wondered whether it would matter to Tina, maybe she wouldn’t want to work on the project with her any longer. But no, honesty, Bette had always thought, was usually the best policy.
“Erm, actually, Tina.. I’m..” She faltered and wished that Tina would look her in the face. “I’m actually g-“
Bette didn’t get a chance to finish as Kit came over to the table.
“Hey, Bette, you came! I didn’t expect you ‘till later!” She smiled.
“Hey, actually I was already here. With Tina. Tina, this is Kit Porter, my sister. Kit, this is Tina Kennard, my..” Bette stumbled again. What was she? “Um, my friend. She’s new to the school and Arden asked me, Al, Shane and Dana to help her catch up”
Tina and Kit exchanged greetings before Kit said goodbye and moved away to prepare for work. Bette decided to just pick up where she’d left off. Quick; Like pulling off a band-aid.
“I’m gay” She blurted out.
Tina, who was watching Kit’s wake, turned back to Bette in time to see the worry and hesitation in the brunette’s face. She smiled.
“So no boyfriend then?”
Bette breathed an audible sigh of relief and shook her head as Tina’s grin stretched. Bette was seriously adorable when she was vulnerable, she thought.
“Girlfriend?” Tina questioned, experiencing the same worries she’d had over the boyfriend question.
Bette shook her head and Tina involuntarily let a word slip from her mouth.
“Good.”
Bette looked up at Tina and raised a single eyebrow.
“Yeah. It is, Tina. It really is”

Really liking this story. B&T are just too cute.
Love this story. Woah, Tina. You are talking up a girl telling her that having no significant other is “good” but you aren’t gay? Well, maybe she will embrace it after a hot make out session with one Bette Porter. Can’t wait for more. This one was really touching and cute. PPS.
Wooohooo, they are getting along. For someone who still considers herself straight Tina is falling all over Bette. They are so cute when they are trying to get to know one another.
They are so cute!
Al, when will you finally understand that when it comes to Bette & Tina, your help is not needed, for fate and destiny are already on the job!… Very nice and smooth progression, well done! Thanks…
