‘That’s her!’ Tina thought to herself as she finally made it to the main entrance of her apartment complex and stared out those glass windows. “Bette!” Tina shouted after pulling the doors open and ran outside. Tina was finally out of breath, she leaned her body down with her head still facing in Bette’s direction, and her hands rested on her knees while panting and trying to catch her breath.
Bette was walking towards her car when she heard a voice calling out her name. ‘Tina?’ Bette thought to herself as she turned around.
“Oh my God,” Bette said, as she spotted Tina hunched over looking in her direction with one hand still holding the flowers she brought her. Bette quickly walked back over to the apartment building, and with each step she took, she was unbuttoning the buttons of her coat.
Tina finally straightened herself up when she saw Bette. “I was…so scared that I…missed you…” Tina struggled to finish her sentence while still trying to catch her breath at the same time.
Bette’s smile was from ear to ear and wide as can be showing off her pearly white teeth when she heard what Tina said; Bette was ecstatic.
“What?” Tina asked, wondering what Bette was chuckling at as Bette wrapped her coat around Tina.
“Tina, it’s 20 degrees outside, you’re wearing a thin short sleeved t-shirt, and shorts, with no socks and no shoes on. You’re going to get sick. Let’s get you back inside.” Bette said while hurrying themselves back into the building.
“I didn’t have time to change or I would’ve missed you.” Tina tried to explain herself.
“Tina, all you had to do was call, and I would’ve came back up.”
“Oh,” Tina gave a “silly me,” expression, while she continued “I wasn’t thinking.”
“Don’t do that next time, okay? You can get really sick like that.” Bette had a concerned tone.
“I’m fine. Oh, thank you for the flowers. They’re beautiful, I love them.” Tina said, while looking into Bette’s eyes.
Bette’s coat was wrapped around Tina, and the building’s hallway wasn’t heated, but that stare sent a wave of heat down Bette’s body warming her up. “You’re welcome.”

Smile, this is great. I’m anxiously awaiting your next post. I understand lazy days, and it’s a holiday, so I’m just grateful you decided to post when you should be relaxing, like the rest with the day off. I’m glad that you got these two together. If Tina didn’t get to Bette in time, it would’ve been disheartening. But, they’re together now, and we’ll just see how they navigate from here. Post soon.
sweet!
Nice chapter! Can’t wait for them to spend some time together. Oh..and I love the Happy Bunny t-shirt!!!!
Another great chapter. You really do a great job. This is one of my favorites on the FF site. Always looking for another post from you. Not new to your story, I just haven’t had time to comment or even breathe for that matter. Very busy lately, so I’m catching up with alot of my favorites. Unfortunately, I’m not commenting like I should, but I wanted to say great job. Love it.
To answer your question, Mechanical. You haven’t disappointed me yet and I don’t expect you will, this story just keeps getting better and better. You really are a talented writer, along with a few others I have found on this site. I wish all stories were this good maybe then I wouldn’t be afraid of starting my introduction to Short Fiction course!! Calculus I can do, but literature, uggh! Try and take it easy and good luck!
‘Skool makes you sooper smart’… hahaha… I almost burst out laughing and I think one of my colleagues caught me with this huge grin on my face and I tried to cover it :P
Yeah, I was busy with work last week and this week I’m more like… trying to relax a bit :P although I have another assign that’s gonna due this thurs :S
Hahaha, well… hmm… should set a lower temperature or shorter timer to prevent the toasters from burning? :P
I need more spoilers… hahaha… it’s not ruining your story… I swear!! :D

Glad to see another fantastic update from you smile….Tina catching up to find Bette…giving her her coat to warm her up….waiting for the next one smile…post soon
This story is just so fucking cute. Tina runs after Bette, Bette just wants to take care of her, they finally kiss what more could you ask for. But Tina has got to let Eric go, its not right to keep him hanging, and she really won’t be able to move on with Bette until she does. Maybe Eric could stop by to check on Tina, find Bette and thenTina could just kinda let him know that way. Nah, thats mean. Hey, you do what you have to do with work and school, will be checking in to see if you’ve been able to drop in.
silly me…i mean labor DAY! =)
Wonderful chapter. I especially loved the part on Tina running after Bette and leaving everything to catch the love of her life. Great job.
I hope you Americans could enjoy your labor. After all the horrible news of Katrina it would be nice to be able to relax a bit. Just know that the rest of the world is praying for you and will send you relief efforts now that Bush has asked for it. Kiitos!

POST SOON!!!!!!!
Thinking back to last night, Tina remembered the expression on her parents’ faces, they were happier than she was, they were more anxious, and hell, they would’ve said “Yes,” and married Eric.
** LMAO! I had this thought when reading it.
Smile, there are so many of us that are enjoying your story. I sincerely hope that you continue writing it.
What albeez said, in essence is very true….you write, we say thank you…great job. Your writing is a way of telling your readers, “you’re welcome ~ and here’s another chapter!”
Which leads me to….so where is it?
YAY! That’s TOTALLY something I would do. . .and have done-run outside wearing close to nothing with no shoes in like 20 degree weather. . snow on the ground. . .buuur. Pleeeeaaase post again soon! I feel bad for Eric because he’s so romantic. . .well, not really, he’ll find someone else, bring on B&T!
Great chapter! Tina really needs to end things with eric soon so she can move ahead with bette.
