More Than a Feeling
It was as if all the air had been sucked from the room. Bette couldnt move. What did she say? Did I hear that right? They were suspended in this moment of uncertainty, this deafening silence, when everything that meant anything was on the line.
Tina searched Bettes gaze for any emotion. Happiness, depression, sympathy, confusion, disgust, anything. Anything was better than staring at her blank face, waiting for a response. There she was, her feelings splayed on her kitchen table, waiting for Bette to make the move, and Bette sat like a statue, her eyes unfocused, her mouth wired shut. Say something.
Bette realized what she was doing when her lungs began to burn from lack of air. She sat upright, inhaling loudly through her nostrils. This was it, this was the moment she had been waiting for, had been dreaming about for a while now, had fantasized about and thought out, planning each word as if writing a mental scene. There had been a thousand different settings and a thousand different conversations with a thousand different outcomesbut never had Bette thought shed be sitting in the Kennard kitchen in the middle of the night, talking to Tina about this.
Fuck, she wasnt even talking.
Seeing how badly shed stunned the brunette, Tina leaned back in her chair, her eyes wide and her forehead wrinkled in defeat. OkayI guess I totally fucked that up, huh? She stood, unable to sit in the room while the walls closed in on her. I-Im sorry.
No, no dont go dont go! STOP HER! Sheer willpower made Bette reach out and grab Tinas hand, just as she walked past her. And it took all of the strength and courage she had to whisper, Wait.
Tina stopped and turned to look at Bette, tears brimming her eyes. She slowly walked over to her seat, never letting Bettes hand go. She could feel her heartbeat in her throat.
Just wait. Bette said, a little louder. It took her a few minutes to process the information, but when she got it, she looked at Tina and offered up one of the most bright, beautiful smiles the blonde had ever seen. You said you might
Yeah. Tinas voice was hoarse with emotion, but she smiled as well, squeezing Bettes hand, reveling in the warmth and security it seemed to provide.

I never got confused but at first I thought that the timing wasn’t good for Bette to confess she was gay, now I realize how wrong I was, the timing was perfect!!!!
manda, just read this again, slowly to savor the sweetness of this story. it’s perfect! thanks so much!!
This is so cool! Here Tina is the straight girl who decides to tell the Lesbian Bette that she has feelings for her. Thus causing Bette to be totally speechless. I could picture this and the shocked look on Bette’s face. Finally, the girl that she likes, actually likes her back. I hope that you post soon.
haha Alice is a character shes too funny…great post like always am looking forward to the next one and now i can sleep happy lol
Alright! Great chapter! loved Alice, so funny! Well can’t wait to see what’s next, a first kiss maybe, so Tina finds out there really is a spark! Thanx
Thank you so much for this story, I really love it and it makes me smile ;-). Your girls are sooo sweet! They are really taking it slowly, though… I can’t believe they didn’t even kiss! will they soon??? Hope so… BTW I think big sis Samantha will grasp it pretty soon.
Love your story, love the girls. Please keep doing what you do.
Manda… i am loving your story… i wish bette would off kissed her… just wait till then and tina watch out… the sparks will be fying… please continue
yay! great update! cannot wait for more:)
YAY!!!!!! time for the first kiss.
Manda L. Another touching, tantalizing, tasteful and torturous tale; the trepidation and tip-toeing that Tina and Bette are engaged in promises to build in to a spectacular love affair. Finally they have each faced their fears and are still on speaking term. This luxurious longing for one another can now be the foundation of their romance. Being honest and open, sounds so simple in theory but so difficult in practice, is the only way forward. The tingles and tickles that they only feel in each other’s presence are a sure sign that love is in the air. Some times it touches you gently like falling rain; other time a deluge threatens to wash you away but either way you end up wet. Given your perfect prose and passionate paragraphs this will be an eloquent, entertaining and enjoyable journey to follow. Thank you so very much for all of your effort and productive posting. Your Fan.
Props to Tina for sharing her feelings with Bette. Bette made me smile when she asked Tina if it was all a dream. How sweet is she. Please use “asshat” as often as you wish. It can be quite liberating. Great closing song.
OMG… WOOT WOOT.. * jumps around* Tina finally came out with her feelings.. GREAT! This story is sooo kick ass.. Love the way you write alice.. so funny. *10 million stars* haha
Yes finally Tina tell Bette about her feeling for her, they can take thing slow and be happy. Ok let see whats next, thanks!
FINALLY! Now let’s hope Tina doesn’t get scared and runs from Bette. Let’s also hope Alice doesn’t spill the beans to anyone else. Shane already picked up on the vibe. I think Tina’s mom will be cool with it. Not too sure about her sister though. Well, I stayed up to see if you’d post and since you did, I can go to bed now. =D
Finally they talk about their feelings! i am so glad neither Bette or Tina freaking out! but i know that maybe B&T will have a little hard time but definitly almost all the time happpy times continue post please
wonderful, finally even if we didn’t get a kiss…can’t wait for those 4 to go on more fake dates LOL
Manda, why oh why did I go down that path? Your equation is precisely why I had to take math in summer school one year. Thus my B.A. in Sociology and me currently working in the TV/movive business…peace out to math! However, I think I can manage your formula. Thank you for posting this stupendous chapter..go ‘head with your bad self, Bette! Once more with feeling, PLEASE post as soon as your schedule allows…that’s was the answer derived form the formula.
Hey Manda L – Sorry I haven’t commented on the last couple of chapters, but I absolutely loves this story and I’m so excited about were this is going and how B&T will take this further….please post soon :o))
