Chapter 13
The first time Bette went to the Freedom Bar to meet Tina Kennard, she remembered, her heart was racing real fast, her thoughts were all over the place and she was nervous and scared. Her knees were shaking as she climbed the stairs to reach the second floor as the faint sound of the upbeat music from the lower level continuously played. At that time she knew that going to that place and meeting a total stranger even though that person was a woman was beyond crazy but she told herself that it was the only way to get out of her deep financial hole.
The advertisement was very clear… sex in exchange of money… and she desperately needed money.
Despite having a Catholic upbringing, Bette went against her beliefs of not selling herself because of one and only reason… her daughter, Angelica. The brunette had told herself that she would do everything and anything for her baby girl even if it meant that she had to sell her body and soul.
Their first meeting happened almost three weeks ago and the brunette didn’t think she would be there again, she never thought she would be sitting again on the same spot where she agreed to Tina’s bizarre sex proposal but unlike the first time when she was nervous, scared and vulnerable today she wasn’t feeling any of those.
Today she was feeling calm, collected and in control and she was thankful.
The caramel skinned beauty let her eyes roamed around the upper deck of the bar and restaurant and just like the first time, she instantly liked the cozy feel that the place imbibed and she noticed that just like before there weren’t that many customers today. She could hear some people chattering and a smooth jazz music in the background; eventually she brought her eyes back to the stunning woman who was sitting opposite her while her right hand tapping the expensive silver cigarette case resting on top of the table.
Their eyes locked and both women felt the electricity went through their bodies.
Maybe it was normal for a woman to appreciate another woman’s beauty but as Bette’s dark brown eyes travelled all over the blonde, from her shoulder length golden locks, to her angelic face and to her immaculate red power suit, she didn’t only find Tina, the woman who bought her for sex, beautiful, but she knew she was attracted to her which was something she had tried to suppress since the first day she laid her eyes on her due to the fact that all there ever was going to happen between them was plainly a business transaction… nothing more, nothing less yet all efforts of denying that feeling of attraction towards the blonde were in vain.

Hello everyone so sorry for the delayed post same reason but I hope you won’t get tired of this story, okay on with the personal shout outs
scribe – Yup I sometimes work in the night shift. Thanks for your continuous support my dear!
magicspider60 – I agree Tina needs to find courage of telling Bette how she feels for her but in her situation I guess you can’t blame her, she’s hesitant to put her feelings out there due to the nature of their relationship and she’s scared that if she does her feelings won’t be reciprocated. As for your question if Tina breaks up with Randall you’ll know the answer in this chapter, thanks btw for your concern on our baby boo, can I just say that in real life that shouldn’t happen but this is fiction and you are absolutely right Tina will never hurt Angie and I will never let anyone hurt my baby girl (-; Thanks for patiently following this story… hugs from yours truly.
Spazv – Sorry my friend but this one is longer, I think and my apologies in advance for the cliffy (-; looking forward to know your thoughts!
mamadoc91 – Here’s more and thanks for loving this story!
tibettenation1 – I agree, Tina finding out that Bette is Angelica’s mom and Bette finding out that her daughter and her lover are friends would be an interesting read. Oh only if I’ll win the lottery I’ll gladly quit my job, travel the world and write fanfics Lol! Where is Tina taking Bette? You’ll know the answer in this chapter, hope you’ll like this new chappie!
Jalex—I’m okay thanks for asking hope you are too. Tina’s a smart woman and she was the type to fixed the problem that comes in her way but she’s human and there are things that are beyond her control. Regarding her issue with Bette? Let’s just see how she can handle that woman and that is if she can.
radleks– First lemme say that I looove the lengthy comment! Her twin sister’s death resulted to a need for her to always be “in control” She’s scared of sleeping with Bette because she knew that crossing the intimacy line will make her fall so deep for Bette and because of the nature of her relationship (Sex in exchange of financial stability) she is adamant of admitting her feelings. Some of your questions will be answered in this chapter; others will be on the next. Thanks so much for your continuous support!
ut—I love Tina and Angie together, I think they’re too cute! Thanks for reading and leaving a comment!
wkm—I totally agree! Thanks for reading (-:
betteporterjb – here’s a new chapter, please enjoy!
cellphone48 – it really depends on the flow of ideas inside my head. For three weeks nothing was coming up right to me and thankfully when I woke up this morning an idea popped up and then I couldn’t stop until I finished it.

brinny—Tina is indeed a smart woman but you are right she is lonely and has been looking for love all her life. Well lets just wait and see, thanks for reading and leaving a comment truly means a lot(-;

mscully—Same here, English is not my native language but I tried lol! Thanks for reading and for leaving a comment really appreciate it!
avanred – Hey my friend thanks for always supporting anything I write, your friendship means a lot and you know that right? Glad that you like Tina and Angelica’s interaction, they love each other already without knowing it (-;
lipitora—That part when Randall went to Tina’s apartment and Tina ended up crying without saying whether she breaks up with him or not was done in purpose. I wanted to create questions in your mind, even to let you create scenarios in your head as to what’s going to happen next. I think that’s a good way of keeping the readers interested and I hope I was successful in doing so.
Thanks so much for liking this fic and hope to know your thoughts!
toby4ever—Lucky 13 huh? Wait till you finish reading this post and tell me what you think if this is lucky or unlucky 13. Just a little heads up this chapter is a little bit cliffie but hope you’ll still enjoy reading (-;

I sincerely hope there are brihter day ahead for tibette. WIll B realize on time that T haas feeling too, and vice versa? Please please make them together against the world. And what about Angie’s b-day party? can’t wai for next update, please please please!
Fabulous!!! Thanks for posting….seriously my fav fic right now. Pps
HI There Phacey-
Great seeing you up and posting today.
Another great chapter.
And yes you warned about the cliffy…..alas I have come to accept that
updates will be sporadic.
Nevertheless I will continue to read and enjoy.
This update was a tad repetitive in the beginning, BUT bringing Bette
to the family home, where she (Bette) gets a TRUE glimpse into Tina’s
life was awesome.
Tina needs to stand up for herself, her happiness, her peace. She also
needs to leave her dad in the ‘stone age’ but respectfully.
Maybe in your story she can venture out into another career….
And I still say – Randall sounds almost like a sociopath….all be it
child like one- running off to ‘daddy’ to complain his daughter no longer
wants him.
Again I say- another wonderful chapter Phacey.
I look forward to updates. As I mentioned “privately” if you don’t
see comments from me, its due to work etc. though I am an avid
reader & fan of your story/ies.
Thank you again,
SpazV
Wow this is good. Shame on Terion to force Tina into a relationship- hope Bette can make hr feel better. Thx for your story, can’t wait fot tyhr next update.
No we are not tired of this story! I can’t believe you stopped it right there. This story is so good. I think Bette and Tina need to really talk and get these feelings out, but I am loving the slow burn. Please post again soon.
Thanks for the update. I’m really enjoying this story. Very interesting information we just found out about Tina and her family. I thought she had a wonderful relationship with her father but apparently, she is trying to please him because she feels that he holds her responsible for her sister’s death. How sad. I hope Bette is able to comfort her when they get to the house.
Omg yesss you are back I was scared you was gonna disappear on us and leave story unfinish, another chapter I loved, completely took a turn but for some reason I had a feeling Tina was gonna call off the deal she was getting too emotional..but I think you owe us two chapters this week for not posting last week and leaving us on edge ijs. So Tina and Bette is going to the lake house ;) this is about to be interesting, I see a first coming on, and please bring back Angelica in next chapter she is just a lively little thing that humor up the story…I love your stories I literally jumped up and down when I seen this post and I was at work and my co worker was like “are you ok?” Lol thats how I feel about your fanfic
Wow, the tension builds! I didn’t expect Tina to just drop the arrangement the way she did – at least she’s not breaking her promise to support Bette. On to the lake house, this should be good. Yes, they need to talk more about Tina’s family and her feelings but I suspect there will be some physical contact coming soon. Let them just be honest with one another! Thanks against for posting!
Hi Phacey!
This was a fantastic chapter. It answered the question about Tina’s hesitancy to sleep with Bette. It allowed Bette to let Tina know she was not interested in Tim romantically. Bette got a promotion to secretary. Tina called off the arrangement! I wonder what Bette is thinking about that? Is she disappointed that there is no reason for her to sleep with Tina? Bette overheard Tina’s discussion with her father and learned about Catherine. Will she have some better insight into Tina now? Will Tina admit to Bette her feelings? That will be very difficult for Tina I think unless Bette makes the first move. Will Bette comfort Tina at the lake house? What will happen next? I love the anticipation! Thanks Phacey for this chapter and I look forward to the next.
What can i say, the others just said it all.
Just wanted to Let you know that i really enjoy your story.
I hope you will have more inspiration to update soon.
Loved it. Tina’s dad is a jerk. I’m glad they are going to the lake house.
no I won’t get tired of this story, looking forward to the next post.
Well, well, well! Thanks and welcome back! This was another great one! I’m glad Tina stood up to her Dad and in my opinion she didn’t disrespect her Dad. Hopefully, they will have a major talk at the lake house. You should know that I’m the type grown woman that ALWAYS say what she’s thinking and mean what I say. I loved this post and I’m sure I will love the completed story. Cause that means you will bring us another great Tina and Bette story. Can’t wait to read when Boo call Tina about the birthday party then when Tina shows up at the party. Bette’s reaction is going to be one for the G. book world records. That’s going to be a major face impression. Please, please post SOON!!! Tell your brain cells to get some rest so you can come up with some major and great ideas for this story. PPS
Wow, just thank you, great chapter, pending the next.
I love the story TiBette these versions are great, I think they should openly confess their feelings for each other, hopefully in the lake house they will be doing.
It was sad to see the father-daughter confrontation Terion must learn and realize their error can not be blaming Tina loving her and force do what he wants.
Congratulations, great story and thanks for taking the time to read our comments.
Ok first off tina ending it with bette is odd I believe tina is so scared to fall for bette she doesn’t want to get hurt and she feels as if bette is only in it for the money at first I believe bette was but bette is so falling for her,And tinas father what a asshole if he loves randell why doesn’t he be with him ok pps.
Tense. I was so happy to see your story today. Let see what happens at the lake house. I’m glad Bette knows some if Tina’s childhood now. Great read.
Well things sure have taken a turn for the worst haven’t they? A lot happened in this chapter, please post soon! Great update.
Wow, you came back with a hot update. Tina’s dad finally admitted what she has known for a long time. She has to be her own person now. She cannot marry Randall, She has to stop avoiding her feelings for Bette or she will truly be alone. She has money, fame and power yet she does not have the love of her family. She has to stand on her own and talk to Bette.. Maybe Angie can give her the courage she needs to woman up. Keep up the flow and post again soon. We miss you.
It is a time for new beginnings. Tina has dissolved their arrangement and given back Bette’s dignity and self respect. Tina can start her own firm and stop feeling guilty for her sister’s death, with Bette by her side.
I love seeing Bette and Tina hooking up but in this story i think Tina cutting the deal off is actually a great idea because when the two of them finally make love then money is no longer part of the equation. I can understand Tina’s hesitation about admitting her feelings, I guess Bette holds the cards in this story. I;m wondering what’s going to happen when they reach the lake house OMG!!! Is it going to be lucky number 14?
I dont want anyone ;listening if im having conversation with someone but i’m glad that Bette overheard Tina’s talk with her father that will give her a better insight about the REAL Tina Kennard… Thanks for always bringing us great update my friend, this definitely worth the wait hugs to you too sweetie!!! PPVVVS
Thanks for the update. Hope to see another one next weekend.
.”Do you really expect me of telling everythng to you?” Thats what Tina said to Bette
No need Tina cos faith had finally intervened.
Bette and Tina going to the “lake house” can end in two things
1) Will have a deep and meaningful talk which starts a beautiful friendshp
2) Tina sad and vulnerable plus Bette
feeling sad for T and tries to console and will end up unleashng unbridled passion and desire for each other
Either way im in(-;
I love the fact that you had Tina call of the agreement, so yes, it was lucky 13 for me. This allows Bette to decide if she wants Tina without being coerced and it is the best way for their relationship to grow. This is a really good story Phacey and that combined with your writing skill has our attention in every chapter. Looking forward to the next update.
Phacey had no idea how big grin on my face when I saw the new chapter!
I so missed this story!
I loved it as always! you know that I like it when you’re mysterious, and therefore I will not rest until I find out ;)
which makes me really sad in this story: Tina herself. she is a beautiful woman, smart sexy, rich, envied and yet the loneliest woman. because she never received the love of what wanted all her life, nor her parents nor a loving partner. This is exacerbated by Tina has never forgiven herself what her sister’s happened.
I fear that Tina will not soon admit her feelings for Bette because she would be too much to risk. Now that Bette heard the conversation with Tina’s father, I hope she will start to see a more complete picture of Tina Kennard and take the first steps, towards Tina and Tina starting the trust, love, and healing’s road.
What, Tina’s father did, not word! I hope the lakeside house will be the first step “between Bette and Tina”
Please posting very soon!
I’m too happy to be a silent reader anymore!For weeks I left the web site with a sigh：no updates!Really appreciate your brain kicking out this wonderful chapter,you should reward it!LOL. I didn’t expected Tina’s father made that conversation but I think it’s the right way to let Bette know more about Tina’ s real life,for Tina’s personality she will not reveal herself unless there’ s a push.Thanks for updating!Hope there will be more ASAP!
Poor Tina, hope she will open up to Bette and let Bette help her. They need to talk. Please post more, thanks
Tiring of this gripping tale, is this a joke?
Bette really surprise me if she is considering a relationship with Tim. Bette is not stupid, he knows this plunges Tina. He said these things just driven by anger, or not? Poor Tina, she leaves the restaurant almost crying and the father ends sticking out tears. Please Phasey, give her a break!
From the expected breaking of the contract, everything will be clear and clean between them. The scene showing that both have the same feelings and at the same time the same fears has been wonderful.
I thought Bette need time to process the news, add 2 +2 and realize what happens to Tina, but it’s another scene in the house, it’s a bomb! Now Bette knows of trauma and personal problems of Tina, accidentally, after Tina refused to say anything about herself in the restaurant. (I understand you take your time, many details and perfection here.)
And not pleased with this, kill us and go to the lake! Let’s see what will happen, I do not think they go to more while Bette keeps open possibility with Tim, I do not really like.
It’s Thursday? On Friday Tina does not to have solved the problem with the governor?
(Sorry, this stuff comes from an enthusiastic woman not fluent in English, I hope that the effort to read this does not affect Phasey and can publish soon :))
Amazing update,PPS
Phacey I jumped for joy when I saw the new chapter.
I’m a fan of this story.
“There are a lot of things you do not know about me” Loved it!
This way the lake house promises.
It’s time for some loving baby ;)
I love the POVs. The contrast of what they feel inside versus how they behave towards each other is really nice and obviously they have feelings for each other but clearly Tina has it so so deep. I freakin love Bette’s confidence, that’s always been one of her sexiest traits and i cant wait to see that in the bedroom (;
Breaking the sex agreement off might be the best thing that ever happens and taking Bette in the house is a stroke of genious! Tina mentioned that there are a lot of things that Bette doesnt know about her does this mean that more revelations in the upcoming chapters?
I love the anticipation and this story excites me!
I hope you can find some time to post. Missing this story.
I’m totally loooving all the comments so thank you so very much! Personal shoutouts will be on the next post(-:
Im now working on the new update so hope you all stay tuned(-;
Just want you all to know that about 8 hrs ago my laptop broke down and it wont open anymore and im not sure if all the files that are stored will still be recovered including twelve pages of Chapter 14. Im a little upset right now but ill go to the computer shop later and hopefully there is still a way to salvage my laptop most esp my files. So sorry to disappoint you ladies *sigh*
Not sure when ill be able to post again but i will asap.
Phacey, so sorry to hear about your laptop. And please do not worry about you disappointing us. I, personally, reckon that good stories like yours are worth the wait. I am just hoping you will be able to get all your files and the laptop back in perfect working order.
Omg my heart just drop say it aint so I been looking all day for Chapter 14, so sorry to hear that though hopefully everything was stored.
Dear Laptop,
please have Lover in the Dark ch. 14 saved
Love truly, obsessed Phacey fan lol!
I’m having terrible withdrawals from this story because I just can’t get enough of it! Please post soon, it sounds like Bette and Tina have some making up to do… At the lake house :)
So Tina let her heart lead her and decided that Bette is worth more to her than just sex and she wants her to be happy instead. Oh My Bette now know more about Tina than just some spoil brat.
She now knows she does have feelings and that they are hurt-due to her parents.
