Chapter 36
Bette awoke in the same position that she had fallen asleep.
Her head was resting on Tina’s chest, Tina’s arm was around her shoulders, holding her close while she had her own arm draped across Tina’s midsection.
She opened her eyes and took in the moment.
Her mind became alert to the gentle pulse in her ear…
Tina’s heartbeat…
***
It was the sound that had sent her to sleep, the rhythmic gentle beat of the woman that made her feel safe.
When Tina had said she wanted to hold her all night long, she hadn’t lied. She had immediately suggested they go to bed, not even waiting for a response. She jumped off the sofa and took their wine glasses to the kitchen, as she returned to the lounge she flicked the lock on the door.
Bette had remained seated, her mind trying to comprehend the day…, the last days…, and the here and now…
Tina had made her feel like no one had ever done before, she had needed someone and hadn’t been able to reach out, but Tina had known, she had known how much she needed her and she was there…
“Are you going to stay there and daydream?” Tina asked as she stood in front of Bette, seeing the faraway look in her eyes and wondering what aspect of the day she was thinking about.
Bette smiled at the words as Tina pulled her from her thoughts, “I think my mind was trying to make sense of the last few days…”
Tina held out her hand, “come on, we can talk about it in bed…”
Bette smirked and her nostrils gave an involuntary flare.
“What’s so funny?”
Bette’s eyes met Tina’s, “nothing…”
“God you are such a liar…” Tina shook her head and chuckled, she had been fairly adept at reading Bette Porter’s mind since thy met and in that very second she could guess it would be along the lines of Bette Porter being in bed with another woman and them actually having a conversation and nothing else.
Tina glanced back as they made there way to the bedroom, “what’s your usual attire Ms Porter?”

Jo, As always Amazing. Bette being vulnerable is so nice to read. I love this story. Write minute to minute all you want as long as we get more of this wonderful story. Thank you PPS
I don’t know from where you bring this mind blowing intimacy and love and use them in these kinds of circumstances that makes anybody who reads focus on love and how it can get you through these difficult times rather than the tragedy itself,I fall in love with love with every new chapter you write, you make everything so desirable when you write in away that is only you, even these dark times in a person’s life, you make it look so easy and it’s just something that pass you through. Thank you so much for this wonderful story and for posting. Love
Jo, you know I love your writing and I for one don’t care how you write just so long as you write. Jo you show the fact of being in love and the idea of being in love that it is the all important thing, and it is, as it should be. Being n love and have someone love you will get you through some very hard times because you know you have arms to fall into and someone to catch you when you fall. Just keep writing and we will keep reading. Since this time seems to be for newbies I will shut up and give them space to write. Thanks for posting.
This story has got to be good,the newbies are coming out. They have missed a lot,but you oldie are glad that they are showing the respect to the author that should be shown. I love the alpha Bette,but so love love the vulnerable of this one. Tina will show her how to be in love. Take your minutes to minutes writing then we will be reading for a long time thanks so much for posting.
Coming out of silence for a moment to comment on “….eyes are the windows to one’s soul…” Very nice!
It is always a pleasure to read your writing. I don’t care if it is minute by minute or not. My heart warms to the words you use to illustrate the tender relationship that B&T share in this story. I am a firm believer that love nourishes and sustains us through anything. Thanks so much for such eloquent writing. xo
Big sigh. The way you are unveiling this story is truly romantic and enchanting. We love every word and every detail that you are bringing to the surface. It is just a delight to read it. Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks. PPS – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
i’m really happy to see tina being there for bette every step of the way…vulnerable bette is precious, btw
any way you write is just perfect. Thanks for that sweet chapter. pps
Jo that was just so damn good!!!
Love it Love it
Another one of your delightful chapters, Jo !… Why am I not surprised thta this was so good ? You know, I think I might get used to this too. But seriously, what did we do to deserve such a treat ? Oh, nevermind, I’m not sure I wanna know actually… LOL ! Just keep posting, Jo, please !
This was an amazing chapter. There was so much love and understanding going on between Bette and Tina. So Bette made it official, or rather it was Tina that asked if she was Bette’s girlfriend. They are couple now.
That was so sweet and beautiful. Please post soon, thanks!
Jo, you can write minute to minute for me anytime. Super update, I love a vulnerable Bette!
Jo, you’ve teased out some of the silent readers, does this mean the regulars should shut up? Endings are beginnings, it would seem.
I love the way you write Bette with such an air of vulnerability. Everyone else tends to make her so Alpha!! I love all of the TiBette stories and this is on that list. Can’t wait until your next post, minute by minute, or whatever way you choose! PPS
Long-time silent reader here, making an effort to start commenting on all my favorite stories ;-. I agree with toby & trece…this vulnerable Bette is a wonderful sight to see – allowing your partner to be strong for you when you need it is a big step in a relationship, but one that builds trust. PPS.
Another silent reader……….. Soul melting story! Thank you!
Fantastic chapter as always. I don’t care if it’s minute by minute or not, I just love it. Heartbreaking to see Bette behave almost as if she doesn’t deserve Tinas love.
Jo, somewhere it says “love is patient love is kind” that is what I think of Tina in this story. Now to the minute be minute thing, if you do that forever we can read it minute forever, see there done. Thank you, Md
Silent reader here. Just wanted to say that I love your story! And just like the ones above, you can write minute by minute and I would read every word. Take care and I can’t wait for your next post. Thanks for sharing this story.
Jo, Your usual sensitive, brilliant, literate self. I think we all love the alpha Bette but I cherish the vulnerable Bette especially how JB portrays that facet of Bette’s persona.
BTW, I don’t know if you’ve had an opportunity to look but there’s a personal message for you.
If you write minute by minute it means we get a much longer and detailed story…..can’t see how that can be bad. Regardless, you’re writing and I’m happy!!!
so sweet.
Another silent reader from Germany. Love this story and and you can write the way you want – the main thing is you don’t stop writing again. I really missed your stories
