Beatles, Stones, The Who, Aretha Franklin.
Bette picked out a Stones album that she hadn’t heard since Melvin had borrowed
it and not given it back. She was impressed with the sound quality of the hi-fi as she adjusted the volume control. Tina clearly had music high on her list of priorities — which Bette was delighted by.
Bette looked around the room for further clues about the blonde. She discarded her clothes in a pile under her hand basin. There were a few crime novels on the shelf and today’s Guardian.
Bette picked it up and looked over the headlines — soon losing herself in a funny as well as vicious attack on Margaret Thatcher who every British student she met loathed with a venom that she reserved for her own country’s moronic leader.
“Hey “
Tina carried in two mugs of coffee and a dinner plate with four slices of toast thick with peanut butter. Tina sat on her bed and rested her toast on a piece of paper after giving the plate to Bette.
While she had been in the kitchen she had gone to the bathroom, washed her face and freshened herself up. She had discarded her coat and sweater — so she was just in jeans and tee-shirt.
“Are you any better ?” Bette asked
“Yes thank you – I just freaked out “
“Helena freaked you out “
“As you said – she is pretty sure of herself “
“And you aren’t ?”
“No – not really. Its all so new – a month ago I was in North
Carolina working part time in a coffee shop and now I am 8000 miles away. I get up when I want, feed myself and I answer to no one “
“I think everyone feels bewildered in one way or another. We are all growing up at a different pace “
Tina nodded.
“My mom always had to yell at me to get out of bed on a weekend – its such an effort to get up now she is not around “

AH! That song holds IMMENSE meaning for me, so I can imagine how Bette feels about it. Love the development. Hope they see more of each other soon!
Love where this is going, though I’m not sure how Bette’s going to tell Helena. Great twist with the earring. We know its only Tuesday and you’ve posted twice, but will take as many as you can give us.
Love it, please post soon
Ah, Mama Cass. Crap, you got a kitchen in your dorm and a sink in your room?!? I got to share a bathroom, one of everything as I recall, with 4 others, no cooking allowed. Needless to say, next year off campus in my own apartment. With both the blonde and the brunette being so shy, who’s going to move this thing forward? Those hormones have to be thumping about now.
I can’t wait until you hook them up!
WHat a Great song. Great Chapter!!! Thanks PPS
LOL… Melvin never returned Bette’s Stones album! Now I know for sure this isn’t IC’s Melvin we’re talking about. ;-D
Great chapter look forward to our girls getting it together
Ah… the earring ‘reprised’…
My goodness this chapter is so touching! I could feel Bette’s pain, angst, love, lust, longing… *sigh* My poor Bette. Tina, open your eyes, sweetheart! You’re going to miss out on true love and your soulmate. I can understand that Bette is in a quite precarious situation with her cousin or whatever she is… but, the girl is a liar and a cheat. In my opinion, she doesn’t deserve loyalty. Obviously she doesn’t love Tina the way she should, IF she loves her at all. Looks to me as if she simply likes to have a trophy at home… all polished, pretty and waiting for her to come home… and a few trinkets to play with whenever the mood suits her. I find her character a bit disgusting. I hope Tina doesn’t marry her. I doubt what’s-her-name would even be hurt very much. Maybe her pride would suffer a blow or two, but certainly not her heart. And anyway, I wouldn’t give a rat’s @ss if she was hurt. She won’t get any sympathy from me. I love this stroy. The feelings I’m experiencing while reading this, are a tad intense, to say the least. You’re doing great with it. Keep it up, please. Hopefully, Tina and Bette will find each other despite the drama that I am sure will ensue. Please, post soon. This is like a good book that you simply hate to put down. Thanks!
LOLOLOL! Oops. I mixed my comments up on some chapters I just read. *shaking my head* That’s what I get for trying to sneak and read this fanfic at work and having mulitple screens open. Oh well…. such is life. Now, I have to remember where that damn comment is really supposed to be posted…. *sigh* Uh oh… my boss is coming……..
LMAO!!!!!! … Emae29, I was reading your comment and I was like ‘What the hell is this about???… Marry? … Cousin?’ I really thought you were kinda weird!!! But I apologize for thinking that as it is a real mix up! LOL!!! Okay, back to you, Ally! *deep sigh again* What the hell are you doing to me girl??? First we had L Wing,… and now L&P??? I’m so hooked it scares me ;) Indeed, it’s like a great book, except here, you can’t turn the page until next post!!! I know it was great to have two posts this week, but I’ll take as much as you can post! And just to comment on this chappy, it was extremely sweet and the ending song wrapped the whole thing up in the best way! I don’t think there is much to do with Helena anymore. It’s not like they were married or even engaged… Plus the bet is like… ugh! They’re young, free, and Helena had her chance and she blew it! Plus, it’s crystal clear that those two clicked and that there is some serious connection between them! I love this and can’t wait to see the slow and fascinating process ‘a la Ally’ of getting them together. (I’m hoping for Bette singing in the band and of course to Tina) Oh, and I also loved the earring wink! Thaaaaaanks…
Ok ok ok I am home now. Maybe I can get this post thing right this time. I realized my mistake as soon as I clicked the ‘leave comment’ button.. but there is no way to stop it. *shrug* LOL! Now… How sweet are these two? They are just endearing, sitting and talking til all hours of the night. Maybe Tina can bring her out of her shell. Cause seriously, people… Bette is a ‘hot house flower’ ready to blossom! They are just too cute for words. The chemistry and rapport that naturally exists between them is so nice to watch… errr… read. *sigh* Tina, forget all about Hellena. She blew her chance bigtime! Bette, don’tcha think you should take Tina back her earring sometime soon… Perhaps give it to her over dinner one evening or something like that? =) I am definitely checking for an update. Thanks for all of the stories Ally and sorry for the mix up. *grin*
Nice chapter Ally! I thought Tina was going to get a little comfort from Bette’s lips for a second there! LOL! So glad to see you posted again! Sweeet! Can’t wait for the next!
great longer
This is so cute and cuddly. Helena really did screw up but thanks to that screw up Bette and Tina are born.
This was a beautiful chapter. Warm, touching, so many things. And funnyone, I love Mama Cass too.
I am so enjoying this little story! I am happy that Bette is not the sexually experienced “player” that most stories make her out to be. I figured she was not always like that and had to have groomed over the years. Tt’s refreshing to see her as a geek, a lovable geek! I hope you make Tina the aggressor in this story but it would seem this will be a slow burn which I love! Between you and Herotica, my week is already better!
i don’t think bette should tell helena, and good thing with the earring…i need more B&T, they are already soul mates
Good ol’ Mama Cass. She left us way too soon…Damn now I’m thinking of a scene from the movie “Beautiful Thing.” Anyway Tina is far from a drip. She’s a whole damn stream of water.
Great story. Really loving it
THANK GOD ITS TWO FOR TUESDAYS ALLY…YOURE A LIFESAVER BABE…. P.P.S.
This is amazing and good twist with the earring, I agree with pattifloatn and let see whats next, thanks!
I thought when Bette asked Tina if kissing a woman was better than kissing a man that Tina might just show her. Well I guess I will just have to wait for that to happen, but Ally not to long please.
I was hoping when Tina was saying that she liked the way it felt kissing Lara and she wanted to see if kissing Helena was just as nice that she would ask Bette if she could kiss her too. But I guess that would have been pushing it. So was Helena drunk out of guilt or frustration after her date with Tina. I think Helena really likes her but oh well can’t fight destiny. Keep posting.
loving it, thanks for posting :D
They are so sweet and naive and the earring is definitely…..the earring LOL. Can’t wait to see what you’ve planned….
So it begins w/ Bette and Tina – I like I like. Hey maybe Helena will just wish her sister well and move on to another lady. A girl can hope right. Post soon.
Love this somewhat shy but really honest Bette. The earring, god ally you brought in the earring thing. Great.
I am being bad and not commenting on everything I am reading…wanted to let you know that I am enjoying this one as well as L-Wing. Loved the earring…
just so so so sweet.
Ah! Lovely Ally lovely! And the earing makes an appearance again! :))
