I Will Not Let You Fall
Tina’s heart lodged somewhere in her throat when Bette turned her head and noticed her. The blonde watched as Bette pushed herself off the lamppost slowly, pulling her hands out of jeans pockets. Tina took a deep breath as anticipation filled her with adrenaline. Holding up her hand to stop the traffic, Tina crossed the road.
Now that they were standing just a few feet apart, face to face, their eyes locked and held in unspoken communication, neither conscious of the crowd. Their chemistry could not be denied, the chemistry so powerful that it was transparent. Bette was searching Tina’s face with such intensity, all the way managing to keep her face emotionless, but Tina was skilled enough to feel the fires behind her ex-lover’s scrutiny and it left her paralyzed.
”Hello, Tina,” Bette finally said, her dark eyes never straying.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Tina lowered her head for a moment as if to gain strength, before raising her gaze again. ”Hello, Bette,” she uttered. ”It’s nice to see you.”
The brunette didn’t respond, her indifferent expression unwavering. She nodded in the direction of the coffee shop. ”Do you want to sit outside or inside?”
”Outside,” Tina answered, thinking that fresh, cool air might help in keeping her senses clear.
They took a seat the one of the tables outside. A waiter showed up right away with two sets of menus, then was about to leave, but Bette stopped him.
”I’d like an espresso, please,” she ordered.
The waiter nodded with a smile. ”Anything else? We have–”
”No,” Bette cut him off. ”Just an espresso, thanks.”
Tina watched her all along. She was amazed at Bette’s level of self-possession.
”Miss? Would you like to order now or shall I give you some time?” the waiter addressed the blonde.
Tina looked at him, then at Bette, who was looking back at her, then at the menu. A thought popped into her mind that if Bette was here just for a cup of coffee, then she didn’t want their meeting to linger. Her stomach growled with hunger. She wanted something to eat and maybe even a glass of wine to make her feel relaxed under the heat of Bette’s stifling gaze. Tina now regretted dismissing Brenda’s pancakes in the morning.

Great to see another chapter from you, thanks!
Ok, so Tina has long-term girl (thanks god she’s not Helena), but she’s not in love in her. It’s good. What’s not so good that her parents obviously like her girlfriend. And what’s bad – how Bette was cold during their meeting and how quickly she left. I just hope Bette will agree for next meeting with Tina.
So, waiting for the next!

Hi Valerie
Thank you for this wonderful chapter.
Wow, it was very easy to vanish the ten years of separation between them; after trying to move on and make their lives with other people, just one encounter and their hidden feelings came back, it couldn’t be different, their love was very intense, a love forever.
But if their love and life together ten years ago was hard due to Bette’s criminal life, and Tina’s fears and family situation; to pick up the pieces and glue them together now, won’t be easy.
Thanks, Valerie for this wonderful and interesting story and please post soon.

Thank goodness, Helena is gone. I’m glad Sam is just friends with Tina. I don’t think I would have been able to stomach them together. LOL. Bette seems a lot more sexier, with her more bruting and mysterious self. I’m siding with Bette right now. Thank you so much for the update. I’ve been looking multiple times a day, since your last update.

Geez so heart wrenching. Tina seems on the out side to have moved on with her life but on the inside she’s a mess..Shes still living the next day ten years back when Bette told her to never come back…nothing has changed for her. Bette was in a bad place when she said it but she really didn’t mean it. She just didn’t want to hurt Tina or bring shame to her by being in that place. She loved her enough to let her go. The love is still there now if they can just get out of their own way and talk., they will find their love again. Thank you very much enjoying your story.
