Stained – Chapter 13
"She’d told me to come by to get the earring and when she was handing it back to me in her trailer she leaned forward and kissed me. Or maybe I kissed her…I don’t really know. Anyway, it was just a short kiss on the lips, no big deal."
Steve did not look too convinced about the ‘no big deal’ part and Tina once again wished she was a better liar.
"You kissed a woman. Hell, you didn’t just kiss any woman…you kissed Bette Porter!"
"Well yeah, that’s what I said, isn’t it?"
"Sorry, I was just checking. Are you going to tell Eric?"
"I don’t know. He’s been really busy at work so I haven’t seen him in a while."
"You do realize you need to break up with him, don’t you?"
Tina winced. She knew Steve was right. It was the right thing to do, but that didn’t make it any easier.
"I know. I just don’t want to hurt him…"
Steve could tell from Tina’s face that there was more. He knew Tina well enough to guess what it was.
"And…"
Tina looked up at Steve. He was giving her an ‘it’s alright, you can tell me’ look. You could say a lot about Steve, but he was there for you if you needed him. Tina took a deep sigh.
"Maybe I’m not ready to give up that safety. I really do love Eric; I know what to expect from him; my parents adore him and no one judges me for being with him."
"Tina, you don’t want to spend the rest of your life with the safety net, do you?"
Tina felt her eyes tearing up. She softly said: "No. No I don’t."
The tears started to fall down her face. Tina knew her life was not complete right now, but had always been afraid to admit that. She felt that if she couldn’t be happy with someone as sweet and great as Eric then maybe she couldn’t be happy in any relationship and that scared her. Another thing that scared her were her feelings for Bette. She had never felt so strong about anyone in such a short period of time. Although it appeared that Bette felt something too, she was probably not looking for a relationship and the fact that she was famous as can be complicated things further.

Awww how sweet was that?! Great update! Come on, Tina. Break up with the ‘safety’ net and let phenomenal,breath-taking, awe-inspiring, I-can’t-eat-I-can’t sleep kinda real love happen to you. It’s called ‘BETTE’!
Loving it, want more
“a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination”…this is what i dream about when i’m happy LOL…this was another great chapter, i’m actually watching Notting Hill right now on TV, are you going to use “I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy” thingy? JK…great update
yeah the optic nerve recomstruction helped and the neural pathways are just beginning to heal! OKAY GET ON WITH IT!! WE wanna see some action here soon girlie. a nice big long hot kiss starring the tongue of Bette Porter!!! youre writing that right now, as we speak, right?? I knew you were !!!
I can never get enough of B/T beginnings…I’d read them all day long, especially if they were this good!!!!! Thankyou!!!!
… a celibate one-legged frog after world domination??? i would love to see that. :) this is moving along beautifully… loving it.. please post soon… and thanks for the S3 overview!!
What is the celibate one legged frog dream? I think I need to borrow it. Not that I have been having day dreams about BP or TK or anything, Oh yeah right I have. Tina needs to break up with Eric like yesterday. This is so cool that Bette has actually put herself out on a limb for her feeling for one Ms. Kennard. Tina has just had her one wish granted. Now, I need to borrow her fairy godmother for a little while.
lol! love reading ur updates.. somehow always have a smile on my face when i read it. did i tell u i love the humor and your little side notes in the story?
Wow. Just a perfect chapter. Great blend of angst, cuteness and humour. So wonderful. Can’t wait for more. I wonder what I’ll be dreaming of tonight? JB and LH, B&T, a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination, or cute and hilarious fanfic writers who make my day?
I should get the whole IKEA thing, but I really don’t. =/ Okay next time Tina wants to leave something behind to retrieve from Bette later, it should be a thong. I think that would make her intentions quite clear even though she’s acting like a chickenshit right now.
Yes, nutters DO have more fun… more than blondes, even… ok, now I’m just getting competitive… anyway, I HEART your mid-story rant. Tina is doomed. Once that Porter charm gets turned on, no one in its path is safe… I’m off to go dream of… what was it? Oh yeah. “a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination”. Seems I might not be the only nutter in the room…
“She had a wonderful dream about… a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination.”O.o… LOL
That notecard was just right: not too overblown with emotion, an opening, an invitation, an honest revelation of nascent feelings. Thanks!
Thank you. Bette wrote the perfect note for the flowers, nows it’s tina’s turn, go get your lady tina!!!
Good chapter. Like the way Bette send Tina the flower and a card. OK let see whats next, thanks!
