How We Do Things Here – Chapter 5
Bette broke the warming stillness they were sharing.
“You wanted to be honest with me?” She said, delicately, easing Tina to open up.
“Yes.” Tina said with vehemence.
She did want to be completely honest with Bette. She wanted to tell her that she was feeling these new things. She wanted her to know that thoughts of them together had been inundating her mind since she first met her. She wanted Bette in return to tell her that it was ok. That she felt it too. She wanted Bette to take her hand and whisper that it was just as scary for her.
“Bette. When I saw you in English, I was intrigued. I didn’t know why since there were so many other people there.. But I hoped that sometime throughout the semester I’d get to know you. Then we met in the bathroom and..” Tina sighed. This was the bit she was frightened of confessing. “I was drawn to you.. Intrigued still, but there was something else there.. I was- I mean.. Well, yes.. I was attracted to you, Bette.” She looked her in the eyes. “I don’t know a thing about you, really. But I am.”
Bette was startled. Tina was so nervous but everything she said was just a watered down version of what Bette was thinking.
“You are.. what, Tina?” She probed and Tina’s gaze dropped.
“Attracted to you” She admitted in the smallest voice. Bette carefully took one of her hands again. Feeling Bette’s warmth, Tina felt she could continue. “And the first time we touched hands in the bathroom at school, it was like.. I don’t know. I can’t describe it because it’s never happened before.” Tina chuckled with embarrassment. “Nothing like that ever happened before. And especially not with.. Well, I mean to say- I’m not.. or I wasn’t.. I don’t know anymore what I am.. I-“ She looked into Bette’s brown eyes. “I don’t know if I’m gay, Bette.”

Alice drove with her car radio blaring out, singing along to The Indigo Girls. As the song finished, she became aware her cell phone was ringing. She reached into her bag on the passenger’s seat and felt around for the small, familiar shape. Pulling it out, she flipped it open without checking the caller ID.

AD this chapter was great. I must admit I miss the banter of both Al and DAne they were so good at it,,,,and so happy that Tina admitted what she felt about Bette, can’t wait for more.
Hi my TFC friend! Of course we know but she doesn´t and that is wrong! But Bette will show it to her! :DAlice and Dana rulllleee! Shane and Carmen`s part was cool! :D Thanks for writting that!Well my TFC friend this chapter is very good and please post more soon!And one more thing…TFC RULES! :D
Don’t sell yourself short. I was totally into this chapter. Tina is nervous, scared, confused..but honest. This is going to be a delicate situation for Bette..since her reputation for having dated around so much might scare Tina if Alice starts letting her mouth run. PPS.
Alice needs to stop letting grass grow under her feet where Dana is concerned and leave Bette’s business to her. If I know her she can handle the situation without Alice screwing things up, no matter how well intentioned she is.
AAWwww, both girls admitted to be drawn to the other. That is the first step in getting to know one another. I just love Tibette stories.
They are so cute and love B&T !
Dawww yeahhhh! So cute between Bette and Tina, and Alice is really pissing me off.
This was a good chapter Angel. Alot got said. Now lets move on to some more serious stuff. Please! PPS!!
Delightful!
Bette and Tina…sooo cute. Alice, bugging my nerves, but still cute…lol…PPS
They’re so sweet with each other,damn, I love those two. Alice really needs to stay out of this one.
I am so glad that B&T talked. Alice is really getting on my nerves. Thanks Great Chapter. PPS
