Stained – Chapter 13
"It’ll be just fine." Steve gave her a consoling smile before scooping her up in a giant bear hug. "You’ll see, TK, everything will work out in the end. You just have to be true to yourself."
Tina laughed through her tears. Steve was not a touchy-feely kind of person, but when he did get physical he would give people these big giant bear hugs which would instantly make you feel better.
"Thanks, Steve."
"That’s what friends are for, TK. Now, what’s the plan?"
"I’m going to break up with Eric as soon as possible, but I can’t do it now."
"Didn’t we just talk about that?" Steve frowned.
"Oh, no, I don’t mean it like that. It’s just that he’s got this big case right now, so it wouldn’t be right to break up with him while he’s in the middle of it."
Steve smiled. "Well, so much for the moral demise."
Tina was alone again. Steve had stayed for dinner, but Tina had kicked him out at 11, because she no intention of calling in sick again tomorrow. Just when she was turning off the lights, someone rang the door bell.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Kennard?"
"That’s me. Can I help you with anything?"
"I have a delivery for you, Ma’am."
"I didn’t know you guys delivered this late?"
"We usually don’t, it’s an exception."
‘An exception?’ Tina thought as she buzzed the man up. The delivery guy turned out to have a beautiful bouquet of roses for her. She wanted to tip him, but he told her he had already been tipped generously. ‘This must be Eric’s way of telling me he misses me.’ Tina’s thought, but deep down she was hoping the roses were from someone else.
When she had locked the door for the night, Tina went to get a vase. She didn’t see the tiny card until after she had put the flowers in water. Carefully, Tina opened the little envelope and she read the small card.
Tina,
I would tell you that I’m sorry for kissing you, but I’m not.
You have been the only thing on my mind for weeks.
I understand if you need your space right now, but I would really like to see you again.
Bette
Tina read the card over and over again, barely able to believe what she read. She felt her heart filling up with the most wonderful warmth. Tina just stood there for a moment, eyes closed, thinking about this amazing woman. How she wanted to call Bette right now, but she didn’t think that would fair to Eric or Bette. She needed to break things off with Eric first.
Tina left the roses in the living room, but she took the little card with her to the bedroom. She fell asleep with the little card pressed against her heart. Tina Kennard had no trouble sleeping this night. She had a wonderful dream about… a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination.

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!
