“Tina.”
It was her, and the only way I was able to pull my head up was the dark of the room. I could just barely see her standing there. “Bette …” I whispered weakly, wanting to utterly disappear. “… I didn’t see … anything.”
“I’m not upset.” I could hear her stepping towards me, and I was confused. There was something different in her voice. “I was more surprised than anything, okay?” She sat next to me on the couch, and I couldn’t help the smile from infecting my entire expression. I was so happy to hear the relief that I was nearly shaking. “Did you get my letter?”
I felt like we were lovers, forbidden to see each other or feel each other’s touch. And the thrill of our secrecy suddenly chilled me into excitement. This was all so strange, and with all the feelings raging inside of me, I was about to burst. Instead, I calmed myself by placing my hand over hers. “You love me.”
I felt her thumb graze over my knuckles, and then her lips were on mine again. I had no idea how she planted it so perfectly in the dark, but she drew back just as quickly.
“Yes,” she breathed, squeezing my hands. “… As much as I didn’t want to do this, Tina … I do love you. I’ve tried to hide from these feelings for you for so long, because I knew you needed someone you could trust …”
“I trust you.”
“Tina …” she whispered again, shifting a bit closer to me on the couch. “… I don’t want to pressure you into anything because you feel like you owe me something.”
“I know that.”
“No,” she whispered again, more exasperated with herself than with me; I could feel that in her tone. “I mean … you just mean so much to me, and you’ve been taken advantage of, and unappreciated, and …”
“I didn’t see you naked.” Don’t ask me why I blurted that out right then, because I’ve no idea.
She chuckled quietly, and brought her other hand to reach for mine. I giggled when she grazed my thigh instead. “Give me your hand,” she smiled – I could sense it in her voice. After listening to her for so long, and caring for her even longer, I had learned to read her voice.

Oh deary me…….yes: MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE please!!!!!!
Great update. Now they know how each other feels and I’m so glad that they have told each other how they feel. Tina needs to start divorce proceedings while the husband is locked up and can’t get out. Two things: we don’t really know anything about Bette’s past and we don’t know how the husband found them. LA is a very large city and he couldn’t have been just lucky to find Tina going in a store. Hopefully they won’t be bothered by him again but I know that is just asking for a miracle. He is not good enough to just leave her alone. All abusive men want to kill their wives or girlfriends. Why, I don’t know. Hope we can get some of these questions answered. Thanks for posting.
I too am curious about Bette’s life before Tina and Angelica. I’m sure you’ll get into that later. Thanks for the awesome update GR :)
I don’t remember her friends being so critical of Tina on the show. Bette seems so fragile and sometimes morose. Great story. PPS.
GR, you really are one of the best writers out there and I love each and every one of your stories. Thank you for sharing them with us. :)
Finally caught up with this wonderful story. I hope the husband is gone for good.
i love this story looking forward to the next post
Hey, What a fabulous story you are developing here. I adore the connection that Bette and TIna have instantly had. After everything that Tina has been through, she should not be willing to open up to someone. The fact that she can is testament to her capacity to love. I can’t wait to read more as their relationship along with Bette and Angelica’s grow stronger. I can’t wait to follow you. As always, you rock my world and re-establish my fiath. Many thank yous, Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
I love this story too! I hope Bette follows her heart and stops listening to her friends.
need more of this story, asap (and thank you in advance)
Just read both your updates. Love this story. Thank you.
great update… but i am getting worried… the time is passing and soon that BASTARD will be getting out of jail… i also wondered how he found her… maybe he was going through her phone book at home and found her friends address from college and waited… good thing he doesn’t no about bette… i was also hoping they would move… he is like a bad penny… he will be back… lets hope tina will stand up to him and not just take what her dishes out… pps

I’m loving this story. I wonder how was the life of bette in the past before Tina appear in your life. Will it come up more drama than the concerns of the friends of Bette, Tina will look for a job. Hahaha so many questions. I love drama, with a happy ending, of course. More, more…….
