“You didn’t close your door?” Bette asked Tina after they stepped out of the elevator and seeing Tina’s apartment door wide open.
Tina stretched one end of her lip down giving an “Oops” look “Catching you was my first priority.”
Bette gave a smile unsure what to say next, after all, she couldn’t blame Tina.
“So…do you want to come in?”
“Sure…” Bette slowly followed behind Tina into her apartment, and closing the door.
Tina took off Bette’s coat and laid it on the couch, and Bette couldn’t help but laugh after reading Tina’s t-shirt.
“What’s so funny?
“Your shirt, you’re like a walking contradiction.”
“Oh yeah, I saw it, and I had to buy it. It was just too funny.”
It was a light blue t-shirt with Happy Bunny on it, and below him read “Skool makes you sooper smartt”
Bette shook her head, “and…you teach English?”
“Yeah, I know.” Tina just smiled at Bette.
Bette couldn’t stop looking at Tina, she was just so adorable in her little t-shirt and shorts. Knowing the fact that she ran outside wearing so little in such cold weather trying to catch Bette told her that there was something there. Yes, she needed to talk to her, no better time than today, than now.
“Umm…I heard you weren’t feeling well, what’s wrong? Do you want me to go get you something to eat? Some soup or…anything?”
“Are you here to take care of me?”
“If you want me to,” Bette replied shyly.
“How long can you stay for?” Tina asked.
“Until you want me to leave.”
Tina didn’t want Bette to leave, ever, and Bette didn’t want to leave. The two of them felt so comfortable within the presence of each other.
“Bette, listen, about yesterday, I’m sorry. I…I was just…when I saw Cecilia, I…” Tina didn’t know how to explain herself for her actions. She wanted to let Bette know how she felt, but regardless, she knew her actions were unacceptable.
“You were jealous?” Bette asked, finishing Tina’s sentence.
“Yes, but that still doesn’t make my actions excusable…I’m so…”
“Tina, shh…it’s okay,” it was now Bette’s turn to cut off Tina’s sentence as she raised her right hand and placed her index finger gently over Tina’s lips to stop her from explaining herself. There was no need to, Bette felt the same way, and was happy to hear that she was indeed jealous.
Bette now slowly traced her index finger down Tina’s lips and onto her chin where Bette slowly lifted Tina’s head up to meet her eyes. “Tina,” Bette continued, “Can I kiss you?”
The two were now staring deeply into each other’s eyes. What they saw were beyond those glowing orbs. They could see the love they had for one another and they both saw the desire they had to touch and be closer. Bette was eagerly awaiting to hear Tina’s answer, and Tina was eagerly trying to provide Bette with one, but her heart was pounding so fast, and she was so caught off guard she wasn’t sure how to respond.
“Yes,” Tina finally found the word she was searching for as she whispered it softly. Never in her life had she been so sure of an answer, yes, yes, yes, she wanted to shout out her response, because never in her life had she been so crazily in love. The woman standing before her had stolen her heart from the beginning. Yes, if only it were that easy to respond to Eric’s proposal.

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

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.
