    Author Notes:

    Chapter 24 – B&T beginning – To be with you, or not to be with you, is the measurement of my time…

     

    Tina instinctively looked at the book Bette was holding and then right back to those deep dark chocolate eyes.

     

    “Do you mind me asking what are you reading?” Tina was very curious but didn’t want to push Bette, she knew this window of opportunity to see some more of Bette’s vulnerable side would close very quickly if the brunette felt pushed or trapped.

     

    “Oh… uh…” Bette looked down to the book on her hands, deep in thought.

     

    “This book belonged to my mother… she… ah… she used to read it to me when I was little…” Bette said after a moment and then took a long breath. It wasn’t easy or usual for her to open up, but then again if she ever wanted to regain Tina’s friendship this was it, now or never.

     

    “Well… what book is it?” Tina softly asked.

     

    Bette closed the book and handed it to Tina. It was a poetry book written by Borges, translated in English of course.

     

    “Wow… I’ve always wanted to read some of his work, I just haven’t found the time yet…” Tina said trying to be casual, Bette locked eyes with her.

     

    “Mom used to read some of these poems to me to put me to bed… of course at that time I didn’t understand their meaning… but I just remember the joy of listening to her voice… I would have been content with her reading me the ads from the newspaper… and that would have still been enough to drift off to the best night sleep I could ever have…” Bette said, this time diverting her eyes from those hazel ones, she didn’t want Tina to see the tears forming there.

     

    “My ah… my mother left my father when I was about five… she found out… he was cheating on her so… she left and shortly after that… she died of cancer… although I always thought she died of love…” Bette said, her voice beginning to break.

     

    Tina’s heart sank at that moment. No wonder Bette never spoke about her family.

     

    “Then my father brought my sister Kit to live with us…she was the daughter from his first marriage… but she was already a teenager and had her own issues so… I guess I was a royal pain in the ass for her… she took off when she was about sixteen… got a few record deals… recorded a couple of albums… she was doing great until she got pregnant and the jerk she was dating left her… so she started to drink… do drugs… actually I have no idea where she is right now… or if she’s alive…” Bette’s voice drifted off at that point, she was sure she was gonna start crying if she continued.

    6. I was thrilled to see you had updated this story. BUT….you know you have to post faster and faster right? I understand first hand how school can take up so much time. You study hard and know that your loyal readers will always await your updates.

    7. Christy is right, we are really needing something to happen with these two lovebirds. I thought something might have been said at the airport. Surprised it didn’t. Although now that Bette has given Tina the book, I think Tina just might say something to Bette now and Bette only needs a little bit of encouragement. Wonderful update. Thanks for posting. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    11. Bette’s mother seemed to be conflicted with leaving and starting over or staying and raising her beautiful daughter. I feel that Bette is struggling with her own desires when it comes to work or Tina.
