Lost & Found, Ch 9
BETTE- (She steps forward a bit and then looks a bit back towards Tina…) “I’m sure that in the process you’ll become better for it…no pain, no gain, as they say. Care to join me?” (She starts gesturing and walking towards a place where she had left her mat on the beach. Tina follows and as they come upon it they both naturally have a seat next to one another and look out into the evening light and the water.) “You going to be ok or am I going to have to call in the Lesbian Patrol to lift your spirits and give you a REAL education?” (Tina starts laughing.) “Alice is such a nut sometimes but she’s lifted my spirits more than once during our friendship.”
TINA- “Mmm. She seems sweet…when she’s not…well, being…how shall I put it…”
BETTE- “Annoying?” (Tina chuckles but smacks Bette lightly on the arm, which procures a tingle or two over the mocha skin…)
TINA- “So…a REAL education? And what exactly would the Lesbian Patrol teach me, Professor Porter?”
BETTE- (She looks at Tina, smiles…) “I don’t know…” (She looks like she’s about to divulge something…) “Alice is still writing the curriculum…Lesbian Patrol manual…shhhh!” (Tina chuckles.) “They’re a good group…I guess they’re still teaching me a thing or two. Apart from Kit, they’re my family.”
TINA- “You’re lucky to have them and they you.”
BETTE- “So, I’m still wondering…what’s a pretty lady from the East Coast doing wandering the California shore alone under the moonlit stars?”
TINA- “I wish I knew.”
BETTE- “Sand dollar for your thoughts…”
TINA- “I’d give them to you for free if I could.” (Bette smiles but looks at Tina briefly with some concern, and a feeling that won’t dissipate in body as she continues to feel drawn to her.) “It’s funny…we talked for hours last time and somehow there’s so much I could tell you. I’m surprised I left anything out the other night!”
BETTE- “Well you can’t tell the WHOLE story the first time around…gotta keep it interesting…Besides…it’s more fun in unraveling the mystery of the East Coast blonde…”
TINA- “Righhhhht.” (She does a double take. She looks forward as Bette doesn’t look at her but continues instead to focus outward to the ocean…she continues…) “Well, like I mentioned the other night I left my home. As I’m not so sure I mentioned…had my heart broken not long ago. Kinda don’t know where I’m going. Searching for something, but not sure…well…looking for my life I guess and here I am, out on the West Coast…left my beloved behind too.”

Merl this was an awesome update! Something about this line just popped out from the page —- “Bette, when you are engaged in the search of life you can never be lost…you seek and you will find…your heart, your soul, your life. When you’ve stopped looking, when you sit there and move nowhere, when you look around and just let life find you…then, you are lost…” I think if there is one small little “life lesson” if you will, it is just a profound piece right there. Thank you for that lovely shout out. I am very much aware at how meaningful the personal shout outs and opening author’s notes are to the readers. I’ll warn ya though, once you start them, they come to be expected!!!! LOL! Thanks so much for the update Merl, post soon won’t you??? ;-))
Ah crap, I hate when that happens. That “I love you, you like me” thing. But it probably is more rare that the feeling is mutual. It take it that with B & T they will eventually discover the feeling IS mutual.
love the dialog but what “recalcitrant” means? i was too lazy to check my dictionary…and don’t worry, my next chapter is coming and it’s hot and sexy…i think LOL
“Man I hope you’re straight…a quick though painful end for my heart to bear…” – number of times I’ve felt this = countless!thanks for the quick update!
Absolutely love this story. I liked shane being protective of Justine and asserting herself when she corrected the pronunciation of her name, loved it. and, well, your slow dance with B & T is enthralling. you could feel Tina just tripping over every word and Bette having small heart attacks at the thought of what Tina really meant! Please post soon, I’m hooked and I need my fix.
So gooooood to read..>Thank you, very much!
So Bette already knows that feeling of loving someone and they not loving you. So Tina and Bette do share something, the case loving someone who does not love them. I think this time that situation will not be an issue. This story is probably closer to a real life situation than most of the stories. You get the real feeling that they are scared to get to know the other. Tina’s feelings sound so real to me (maybe because I have been there).
THIS IS SO GREAT!
I´m glad Justine has Shane as a friend and that S hopefully looks out for her a bit. I think Tina should go to the gala and maybe B+T will realize that they already found each other, they just don´t know it yet. And don´t worry I will keep on reading, this story is too good to miss.
Merlin if i knew the answer, i would tell you. There’s a reason that your the writer and i’m the reader. Now 4 pages where getting somewhere. That was great as aways. I think tina needs to listen to her gut feeling and not with your head, she knows she likes bette, why not take the chance. Love is a fantastic feeling and let the girls find it the merlin way.Thank you just don’t keep me waiting to long
Hey there, i forgot to mention, i’ll take my hat off to anyone that attempts to write a story and for that i thank you!!!!!!!!! thank you
T, it’s not how many words you use, it how they are conveyed. You my dear do an amazing job and I can’t get enough of this story. Thanks for the update.
