Lifeline – Chapter 14
The pretty singer nodded to the band, smiled, and with a sexy wink launched into a spot-on rendition of an Ella Fitzgerald classic by Rodgers and Hart with which Bette was well-acquainted.
She raised herself to her full height following the songstress’s gaze as she directed her words to someone seated on the far side of the bar.
“Was that a wink?” Alice asked quietly near Caitlyn’s ear, referring to the singer’s obvious flirtation with…whomever…the elusive "Tina."
The redhead bit her bottom lip and with a sharp intake of breath, nodded fatalistically.
“…I’m wild again, beguiled again
A simpering, whimpering child again
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Couldn’t sleep and wouldn’t sleep
When love came and told me I shouldn’t sleep
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I
Lost my heart, but what of it?
She is cold I agree
She can laugh, but I love it
Although the laugh’s on me
I’ll sing to her, each spring to her
And long for the day when I’ll cling to her
Bewitched, bothered and bewildered am I…”
Bette took a small step forward noticing her friends’ hands at her waist for the first time as she pushed by them gently. The brunettes exchanged alarmed glances falling in behind her, wary of Bette’s intentions.
Oddly enough she radiated calm, filling the women who were her family with a sense of foreboding. Alice and Caitlyn stepped up to the rear flank positions behind Shane and Helena.
Bette moved gracefully through the crowd following the singer’s sightline to the woman who shared her wife’s name, gently moving bodies aside as she glided forward with determination.
Rounding the corner she was confronted with the sight she had simultaneously hoped for and feared…
Halfway down the bar she instantly recognized the body she knew as well as her own; lanky legs and long, delicate arms, the graceful curve of hip and thigh, full breasts swelling beneath the close-fitting top, creamy cleavage barely contained within the confines of the soft and lacy bra that Bette knew she would be wearing underneath. Barefoot and in jeans she was so unbelievably sexy that Bette had tried to institute an “in-house-only” rule on the wearing of those jeans which T had summarily vetoed.
They were just jeans, she scoffed. Didn’t everybody wear jeans?

Drunk Tina is cute! Great writing!
I can’t wait. Seriously. It’s gonna be good the next one right LOL. Please let Bette make up for it. Big time. LOL. I have a feeling neither one of them is gonna be able to walk in the morning. PPS. I’m begging you.
So happy Bette took the high road in the bar and didn’t cause a scene. Relief was chief among the emotions she felt and I’m glad that over rode everything else. Tina is cute when she’s had a few too many and really in need of her wife. Loved the chapter. Thanks for posting.
This is a terrific story! I love the way you write
How great to have another chapter, Nell – thank you! And such a sweet one. Last time a number of comments said how you could visualise this scene as if it was a movie, which you can, but this chapter demonstrates the superiority of the written word. The repetition of the dedication and the description of their friends fearful anticipation of Bette’s reaction is much funnier. I also loved Bette’s accurate reading of Tina’s reaction to the song. And, as everyone has said, drunk Tina is cute! I trust Bette is taking her somewhere unsandy and you will “TBC” soon!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your words make it seems as if you are there watching the moments unfold and you can almost feel them. B E A U T I F U L. I think I’m in love with your writing, no, I know I am in love with your writing. I wish updates were more often but each one is worth the wait.
Melania couldn’t have chosen better songs to cheer up the charming Ms T. (As an aside: I admire Natalie Merchant’s work with 10,000 Maniacs and the distinct, profound songs they’ve created.) I’m glad Bette proved my guess wrong that she’s go ballistic again if she sees the singer flirting with her wife. It’s refreshing to see a character do the exact opposite of what she/he is wont to do or is expected to do most of the time. I love the “avalanche of visceral responses” the sight of Tina provoked in Bette and the myriad of emotions that Tina saw in Bette’s eyes. When Bette was staring at Tina and feeling the stirrings of falling in love all over again, the moment their eyes met and they finally embraced were simply beautiful. I bet the make-up scene will be lava hot, nothing less than scorching. Thanks a bunch for this superb post, Nell. I hope your Muse will never cease to inspire you to write and share your writing with us. Cheers and hugs. =)
