Playing By Heart
Chapter 65
Bette’s House – Bette’s POV
“For what it’s worth,” She began, her voice cracking, “I think I’m falling for you.”
And with that, she walked out of my house. I closed my eyes, willing the tears not to fall. But I failed. I hurried towards the door and reached for the knob. It was in my hand, all it took was one twist and this could all be over with.
But I couldn’t bring myself to open it. Instead, I rested my forehead against the door and stroked the painted wood with my other hand.
I flipped the porch light switch and all the other lights still powered on in my living room before doing the same in the kitchen.
When I reached the hallway, I looked out the big front window from the security of the darkness that filled my house in time to see Tina’s BMW start up and zoom away from my front curb.
As my tears slipped down my face, my body involuntarily responded to the emotional impact that watching my girlfriend drive away had on me. I punched the hallway wall as hard as I could with my right fist.
“Fuck!” I cried. My hand was no match for the drywall and I only succeeded in further hurting myself, only this time, physically. It didn’t bleed, nor was it broken, but if it had done either, I wouldn’t have cared.
I entered my room, exhausted from the night’s revelation.
Stripping my clothes off in an impatient huff, I fell on top of the bed I had last shared with Tina. I didn’t bother to get under the covers. I was hot with emotion, so the warmth was unnecessary.
Tina’s parting words played over and over in my head. Can it be true? Isn’t it too early for either one of us to fall in love? We just started seeing each other on Saturday; just confirmed being together last night. This is crazy right?

Enjoyed the last two updates MLL – I’m sure it’s just me, but I don’t think you’re a tease. I rather like the glimpse into B&T’s inner thoughts. I’m happy to stay ‘tuned’ for more….

Thanks for the update. They do need to talk so badly but Bette needs to come to grips with her feelings for Tina and I sure hope she does not stop seeing her. It would be unforgiveable if Bette didn’t give her the benefit of doubt in this situation. Granted Tina should have told her when Aaron first said something to her but at least she told her and didn’t just duck out on the situation altogether. Tina was in a rock and a hard place as well trying to decide what to do. I’m just glad she came clean with her. And my mantra as always is: will someone just shoot jodi and put her out of our misery, to hell with how she feels. Oh my goodness, please don’t let Bette decide to go with jodi just to spite Tina. Dear lord they would be awful for everyone. Great update. Thanks.

Hey MeLL! Thrilled to see you posting even through this rough patch. I felt so bad for Tina. Can’t imagine Bette staying mad for too long…she’s just too adorable. Hope to see your name pop up again soon! Have a good week.

Oh boy, things were going so well there. I sure hope that Bette doesn’t do something(someone) stupid-like Jodi or Nada. Tina was sad leaving the house. I

They got it bad, just hope that when they fall they fall together. Plus it would nice if they fall on something soft like a bed.

When you mentioned there was only a few more chapters to go after posting ‘you’re the boss’ i was a tad CRUSHED but rereading the story here seems to help a little and so does the promise of another story.Thank you :D and happy Monday!

Bette really is a thinker isn’t she? I mean she is really struggling with this inner turmoil over what her heart wants and how her head is telling to react to what her mind considers a major betrayal. As much as I don’t want Bette to run , maybe a few days alone with her thoughts (very complicated thoughts) willfi her good. Right now she’s rethinking even being in a relationship with Tina and it’d be so sorry for Bette to act rashly and lose Tina forever. Tina has to be understanding here and give Bette time to deal. Thanks for such a quick update; but now I feel spoiled and expect the next chapter ad soon as I post this comment (lol).
