I Fall Behind pt.8
With eyes still trained on Tina, Bette continued,
“Love won’t keep someone from breaking your heart. ***** is just a way to
let yourself get hurt.”
Tina lowered her arm and put a hand against Bette’s nape. It was a gesture of comfort.
“If you let yourself be vulnerable, you’re just a
fool, you know? You know that you’re gonna die alone. No one lies there
on their deathbed with their wife or husband or significant other dying
beside them. You’re gonna die alone. If you’re gonna die alone, why
torture yourself trying to find someone to live with? I mean, to be
with you when you’re alive? Love? That’s just bullshit.”
“What makes you say it’s bullshit baby?”
“Bullshit coz people get fooled by all the romance.
It’s designed to delude people, romance is. Let me tell you a fact,
Tina. Love always ends. There’s no such thing as endless love or
eternal ever after. No such thing. And *****!” Bette scoffed, “Is just
another way that people put themselves in the position to be fucked
over, literally AND figuratively.”
“You’ve figured it all out huh?” Tina tenderly pushed back a stray curl from Bette’s forehead.
“I had the time. And I had the motivation!” Bette
sat up, back straight, looking to Tina for all the world like an
avenging spirit. “I was screwed over by love! ***** betrayed me! And
Candice, with her rotting soul, killed me. Just killed me.”
Tina pulled Bette back by the shoulders into the
half-circle of her curled arm. “She killed you?” Tina felt the alien
emotion of the other night rallying in her chest like an angry mob.
Bette turned to bury her face into Tina’s side.
“Mmm. I know it’s crazy. I know I’m crazy. Alice and Dana and Shane…
and Kit, oh my God Kit… They all say I should get over Candace. I
should be over her by now. But it’s not about her anymore, you know?”
“What’s it about then, baby?”
“It’s about… about me… me being not good enough
to keep her with me. Not good enough to be with other people. They’re
right; I’m crazy.” Bette looked up at Tina, trying to will her to
understand. “Tina, I’m crazy.”
The alien emotion stood up proudly and declared
itself to be tenderness, bone-deep aching melting tenderness. The sound
of Bette’s heart-stopping beauty reduced to a drunken ramble, the sight
of her divine face slapped senseless by confusion and self-doubt,
incensed tenderness enough that it came out of its hiding place in
Tina’s heart.
Tina very softly kissed Bette between her eyebrows.
Bette sighed and closed her eyes. Tina smoothed back her hair, gently
moved Bette so that she was lying on the couch with her head on Tina’s
lap.
“Oh Bette…” Tina murmured, stroking Bette’s hair.
“You’re not crazy….,” Tina looked down and smiled a little to see
that Bette was falling asleep, “I, on the other hand, have always been
crazy in love with you.
My dear epicure,” Tina crinkled her eyes fondly at
the now slumbering Bette, “I’ll show you the most beautiful woman on
earth.
It’s none other than you.”

i’m glad tina did her research, it turned out better that way…i hope she will be able to tame bette and to open her up…love this, love your writing style and you get award for humor
just wanted to say I’m enjoying your story have a lot of it still to catch up on. And mad props for taking in the cat and getting it treated.
hi CROO – long time no hear.fergz – we have got to stop meeting like this and do it in the flesh so to speak. loved this chappy. tina is soo gonna show bette endless love. giving the money back. good show. thanks.
This story reminds me of a combination of two of my favorite authors Does anyone remember Marg? She of the witty repartee, Bette and Tina carrying on like Tracy and Hepburn? Screwball comedy at its best! And Greentea, the writer of an intriguing Tina, strong yet complex with a compassionate heart. You’re in good company. This is a very fresh story. Bette reminds me of a Cary Grant character – impossibly good-looking and totally oblivious to the fact. I can almost see her, bespectacled and bewildered. Tina removes her glasses and shows her a new world. Great!
Love your Tina she is so sweet and gentle and so in love with Bette and has been for four yrs. Jeeze. why did she just try to meet her.
Loved your story from the start. Funny and sweet. — But I am touched too by the kindness and generosity of your heart, giving love and care to a crippled cat. — I think I’m going to go spend some quality time with my own cat now. I had been working a lot lately and haven’t played with him. Thanks.
I like a the vunerable side of Bette but I hope that withe the help of Tina she will becoming stronger and more confident with her self. Post soon and great story.
Wait. Tina is a hooker, right? Or did I skim an important chapter?
Good chapter and let see what’s next, thanks!
I have enjoyed your story, to see how vunerable Bette is, and how strong Tina is. Please post a new chapter soon. Hope your cat is alright.
I am so in love with your Tina and Bette…thank you and please post soon
beautiful…. i love your tina… and i know she will succeed… great story…please continue
really great story…love this twist!!!! post soon, I like seeing them both squirm
I stabbed the cat with a fork after it bit me. Haha! Nah, I’m kidding. The cat needed major surgery to drain an abcess and to clean up and stitch it up. It was a stray I picked up. Someone had amputated its leg then it either ran away or was set free. The stump was infected when I found him. The poor thing’s sleeping now. He’s gonna be okay :)
great update post now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa! I’m just catch up to read all of your chapter Wonderful Story Please continue post soon Thanks!!!
Awwww, Tinas is so sweet! I am so glad that she gave back the money. I would hate for her to continue pursuing Bette simply because she was paid to do so. Great chapter! I love the sensitive, tender, relaxed side of both ladies. Please post soon. I want to know what happens next. I’m a tad bit anxious. =)
