Once home, Tina went into the bedroom and Bette into the kitchen to prepare something for a late lunch. Kit or Shane must have stopped by, there was chicken salad in the fridge with a bowl of fruit salad and crackers. She prepared a tray then went to check on Tina.
Tina had undressed and was in the shower, the steam fogging the mirrors. She left the bathroom door open, which she did sometimes when she wanted to still feel connected to Bette but be by herself.
Bette stood at the doorway for a minute, watching through the glass as Tina’s head lowered so the water would run off the back of her neck, the heat massaging her muscles.
Her gut told her that Tina was processing the day and would appreciate the time to do this on her own before talking it over. As much as she wanted to slide under the water to be with her, she listened to what her instincts were telling her.
She put on some soft folky music that Tina liked, the head in the shower lifting as Tina ran her fingers through her hair. Bette smiled; she knew what Tina needed. She laid out a large, fluffy towel in the bathroom then Tina’s pajama pants and a t-shirt in the bedroom, then went out to dry off the loungers on the balcony to wait for her. It was still overcast and a little cool for the beach, but the rain had stopped, and the water was simply beautiful.
Tina took a long, hot shower, standing under the nozzle and letting the heat wash over her. She had left the door open for Bette, who she knew would want to check on her and when the music started playing, she knew Bette understood.
She needed time to think about her day and what everything meant for her, for them. She loved Bette a little more just then, smiling to herself.
Stepping out of the shower, she saw the towel Bette left for her, along with a red lipstick kiss on a post it note. The kiss covered a penciled in sketch of a naked woman standing by a door as the rain came down. It was simply drawn but beautiful. There was nothing else on the note, nothing else needed to be said. Tina carefully dried her hands, then carefully put the note in her toiletries bag for safe keeping.

A magnificent job of continuing the masterpiece connection between these two. Yet, having them deal with all the contradictions and brain fog in Tina’s brain. The spirit in your writing has so much peacefulness ????????
I’m really great full for Joyce’s expertise and frankness in explaining the unfair onslaught that Tina & Bette are going to endure because of the insatiable desire of the popparatsee to sensationalize and distort any story. Uuugh! It’s gonna be putrified nasty when Donna is brought to the stand in Eric’s defense. ????????????????????????. I’m hoping that Tina as some indisputable video & audio of the wretchedness of working at Shoelin once Eric was hired. Surely the also have emails & texts that he sent to Tina showing the overt preditory behavior.
Maybe this is where Lucy’s testimony will raise my eyebrow to give her a Brava!!!
Thank you Dumplin. I was trying to show the contradiction of trying to unravel a confusing event in Tina’s mind with the undeniable connection they are both feeling. Joyce has a lot more to say about the upcoming trial, and Donna has some plan of her own. Meanwhile, our two will hopefully keep on keeping on… appreciate your comment, so much.
This story gets better every chapter!
It will be a nasty and hard case and i am glad Joyce is Tina’s laywer. I have no doubt that she will nail that bastard in court.
So Donna is planning to stay a month? Hmm, wonder what she will do the next time she approche Tina and Bette.
Great chapter!
Stay save and healthy ????
Thank you BiBi, I am struggling a little bit about writing the whole court case thing – so out of my realm of expertise, I know virtually nothing about lawyering and evidence and all that stuff. Hope it continues to flow…. peace
Wonder who Donna has with her in the hotel? Great story with lots of twists in the life of Tibette. I would not be looking forward to court with the news media hanging around. Look forward to the next post. Stay safe
Thank you for commenting Finn! The news media does add an element of crazy to the whole thing, can you imagine? Hope things are going ok in your neck of the woods, laying low here….. peace
I look so forward for these posts. You outdo yourself and the story with every post. Keep up to phenomenal work.
Deanna, thank you. Hope you are doing well.
I love the way Tina and Bette continue to grow closer and more intimate. This is very important for the healing of both of them from this trauma. Even though Tina lived through it, Bette experiences have been just as traumatizing. And to add Donna Kennard on top, how much more can they take.
Caution – with Eric’s money, could he influence the results of the blood test of both Tina and of himself? Is it possible he could pay someone to substitute another’s blood or just make sure the test get lost? That would throw Tina’s evidence into doubt and allow Eric to skate free.
Now who is with Donna Kennard? I’m going to take a guess. Faye Buckley? I hope not. But Donna’s behavior was an exaggeration of Faye Buckley…
Wonderful chapter. Love the relationship between Bette and Tina in this story. Their connection is so evident, Its visceral to all who see them. And I love your writing style. Being able to see what is going on in the minds of characters adds depth and understanding which dialogue simply cannot do. Dialogue is limiting and can even be misleading when the characters hold back information or are purposely deceiving someone. But the thought process is the window to the soul and personality of a character. This author’s use of memory and imagery is simply masterful. This chapter is a wonder example of that technique. Thank you…. Cannot wait for more….
Martha, I so enjoy your thought analysis of each chapter. Really, it is such a wonderful thing to read how people are experiencing the story. I also really appreciate that you like reading about the though process – sometimes I delete some of that because I worry it takes away from the flow of the conversation. But with someone like Bette, who is so layered and has trouble expressing how she feels, I think it is that much more important to know what she is thinking.
Great point about Eric’s money, how many times do we read in the news about some rich asshole who gets away with horrible things because they can afford a team of lawyers or such. And he is certainly ruthless enough.
Thank you for your kind words, gives me motivation to keep writing and taking the time to get the story the way I want it. Hope you are doing ok in this craziness. Peace
Thanks for the update. So many sweet moments between Tina and Bette. Wonderful how their deep connection is showing in so many little moments and details. Well, their physical connection is amazing as well. Constantly horny for each other I’d say ;-) It does wonders to strengthen their emotional bond.
It’s going to be a difficult case at court. Joyce is right to mention the worst outcome.
Looking forward to the next chapter, BK.
Kiwipit –
Definitely horny for each other, almost like two teenagers I’d say. That is likely to continue as well, given they are basically on a mini vacation like at the beach together. Court will be difficult, and not my area so hopefully I can figure out how to navigate that in a way that makes sense. Hope all is well, stay safe….
Thanks for posting more on this great story which I am getting more and more enthral led by.
My life experience is in non-criminal Law here in the UK so I wait to see where you are going to take me.
Please post soon we need somewhere to escape to in these difficult times.
Stay safe,
