Bette waited until Tina was finished with the blanket and offered the glass of water in one hand. She opened her other hand revealing the two pills resting in the middle of her palm. Tina took the glass but eyed the pills with caution, remembering the old hand-grabbing-turned-kiss trick Bette was notorious for using on her since the inception of their relationship. Tina shifted her eyes back to Bette’s when she cupped her own hand, signaling for Bette to drop the pills into her possession. The brunette complied.
“Thank you.”
“I forgot to tell you last night that Kit is taking Angelica to Disneyland today. So when you come by to pick her up this evening, she may have a new set of ears.” Bette offered a timid smile. She watched the muscles in Tina’s neck as she swallowed the pills with the help of a healthy gulp from the glass of water.
“Okay.” Tina responded, wiping the top of her lip. “I’ll see you later then.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.”
“I mean, you could still be a little drunk. Sure you don’t want any coffee?”
Tina was torn. On the one hand, she craved nothing more than being in Bette’s presence. But the awkwardness of knowing that Jodi was wet and naked just a few feet away was more than she could handle.
Her hesitation gave Bette the determination she needed to make the decision for her.
“Look, it’s barely 6:30, you don’t function well without coffee. I know you’re hungover. Possibly still buzzed from last night. I don’t want you to fall asleep on the drive home.” Bette reasoned. Without waiting for an answer, she went back into the kitchen and prepped the coffee maker.
“I already told you, I don’t want to interrupt you and Jodi.” Tina said, finding her voice again.
“Once she’s dressed, she’s out of here.” Bette said nonchalantly. “She’s working on a piece right now that she’s really excited about. When she’s in that zone, I hardly see her.”
Tina quirked a brow wondering if Bette had plans to move in with Jodi soon, though she didn’t ask the question as she was too afraid of the answer. The slow brew of the coffee filled the house with a pleasant aroma that made Tina salivate.

Very nice story; it has been a very long time since I read a new post of the events in TLW, thanks for bringing it back, I wish you would write more frequently. Is there any possibility for you to continue ‘Playing By Heart’? that is also a great story, pity that it is unfinished. Thank you si much for posting I really enjoyed this one.
A very nice story. Thanks for the reminder of a great series and some wonderful scenes.
Can I add a plea for you to continue with “Playing by Heart” Please. Even if this is not possible please post again soon.
Great story! It is great to read about Tina’s thoughts and how she came to the conclusions that Bette is not in love with Jodi and how they still fail at communication.
And most important that she decided to go after Bette.
Like the others i would like to see a update from “Playing by Heart ”
I really appreciate this short stories, thank you for posting them!
Great read. I’ve missed your story telling. Glad you posted. Thanks
Thank you so much for filling out, this gap in history.
All Stars .
Thank you so much for this post, I can`t wait for more ,please post soon.
Thanks for the new story, I, too share the sentiment of the other readers hoping you will continue with the story “Playing By Heart”. Please come back soon!
Happy to read this post and as others have said, would really like to see more of “Playing by Heart” thank you. Hope they will start talking to each other more and not “at” one another. And if Bette would just admit to herseld how she really feels about Tina then the rest will fall into place as it should. Thanks for the post.
Hey ladies! Rather than reply to each of your comments, I figured I would just leave a general comment thanking you all for reading this one and for your resounding encouragement to finish Playing By Heart.
Would you be mad if I told you I have three more chapters written and they have been waiting in the vault until I was done with the entire story? Yes, I have been holding out on you, but I have been updating and revising the original story to reflect up-to-date technology and fix some grammatical and mechanical errors. It’s taken me over a year to do this, like I said in my author’s note above, writing and proofing is difficult with three jobs to keep me busy and very little time for a social life (let alone a love life, but that’s not important right now).
I’m taking a page from some of the other older writers and am going to re-post the entire story in one book that way you can easily find it all in one place.
I appreciate all the encouragement and the demand is overwhelming. I’m very touched that the story means so much to you. Although there is a bit of pressure to make sure it’s a worthwhile ending. Hopefully it won’t disappoint.
Hugs and kisses to you all,
MeLL
“she truly did want Bette to be happy; that it’s what you do when you love someone – you let them go, even if it’s at the expense of your own happiness”
Certainly one of the most painful yet true thing…
At least, we all know that Tina will be able to break this curse and get her beloved Bette again.
An other painful yet true thing : fanfictions can really be a solace for those who will never have this kind of chance in their lives…
Reading your note, here, from two years ago, I’m truly grateful to be there right now, discovering your stories so many years after I thought I lost the old site forever…
Life is such a rainbow of mixed emotions, it’s quite fascinating.
So you found some of my old stories, eh? Thanks for giving them a read! It’s always nice to see new readers dust off these old posts and bring them back to my attention. Hope you enjoyed this one!!
