Strictly Roommates – Chapter 11
Bette walked around to the other side of the bed and climbed in. The women sat with their backs against the headboard, their legs straight out in front. The silence wrapped itself around them comfortably. They sipped their coffee while the morning sun leaked in through the window.
Tina took in as much of Bette as she could through her peripherals. She was once again filled with a sense of guilt that she couldn’t avoid – Had she gone too far last night? Had she betrayed some unspoken trust; disobeyed a rule of thumb? She felt an overwhelming need to confess everything, but she knew that was out of the question. She would not only be risking Bette’s friendship, but she’d also be risking rejection: two things that Tina Kennard wouldn’t gamble on.
Later that evening, both Bette and Tina were finishing getting ready for their night out when the doorbell rang. They exited their separate bedrooms at the same time, and took in the other’s appearance. A mutual gasp was shared, sucking out the air between them in both directions. Tina wore a knee-length black cotton dress that haltered at the top. Bette was wearing pinstripe slacks that hugged her hips and a black button-down shirt with cuffed sleeves. Both women had wanted so badly to look their best, particularly for each other.
“You look…” Tina started.
“Fantastic,” Bette cut in, still breathless at the sight of Tina.
An instantaneous smear of pink cropped up on both their cheeks at the joint compliment. The doorbell chimed a second time, more persistently.
Bette hesitantly lifted her gaze towards the front room.
“That’ll be Dana,” she sighed. Dana had been assigned to be the designated driver this week.
They packed themselves into the back of Dana’s Subaru, which already carried Shane and Alice. Alice whipped around from the front seat to assess the looks of the two newcomers.
“Well, hello…” she said coyly, whistling out a catcall. “You two look ready for your close-ups.”
“Thanks Alice, you too,” Tina smiled.
“Oh hey Tina, we’re hooking you up tonight,” Alice said excitedly. “We already decided.”
“Who decided?” Bette spat out, a little too hastily. Shane held her hands up in defense, denying her participation.
“Relax Jackson,” Alice said. “Me and Dana, that’s who.”
“Do I have any say in this?” Tina asked curiously.
Bette was beginning to squirm beside her.
“Not really,” Alice chirped. “Come on, it’s like an initiation of sorts. You can’t say you’re not a little sexually frustrated.”
“Yeah,” Dana added, “and we’ll make sure she’s cute. And not the crazy type. We know these lesbians – we’ll just lead you in the right direction.”
“I don’t know guys,” Tina hesitated.
Bette glared wide-eyed at Alice and Dana, back and forth like the eyes on a cuckoo clock. Finally, she looked over at Tina. Why wasn’t Tina vehemently turning this offer down? What did last night really mean? Just morbid curiosity on Tina’s part that got the best of her?
Bette drew in a ragged breath and steeled herself.
“You should let them hook you up,” she said tightly.
Tina raised her eyebrows questioningly.
“You’re still new here, you should have fun. Meet women.” Bette shrugged and looked out the window. She willed her forced nonchalance to cloak her real anguish in invisibility.
Tina sighed. She should have expected this reaction. She knew it was only wishful thinking that Bette would ever reciprocate her feelings. Still, it hut that Bette was seemingly unaffected by the thought of Tina with another woman.
As Dana pulled the car into the Milk parking lot, Shane reached behind Tina in the backseat to squeeze Bette’s shoulder. Bette did her best to give a reassuring smile, accepting Shane’s support for what she knew would be a very tough night.

Bette just needs to take some drinks and throw them over the hookupgirl=D i hope shane is going to do something about it. Pps
So glad this story is back – its one of my favorites! One or both of them needs to loosen up while at the club and perhaps a little dirty dancing? Somebody needs to make a move or they are doomed. Can’t wait to read more! PPS
The tension is building ….. I sure hope something good comes out of their night! Awesome :)
Ohhhhhhhhh no this is a bad idea Alice. I don’t think Bette will let Tina hook up with any body else than herself. Drama drama drama. OPPVS

Oh no don’t meet anyone Tina, just give Bette couple drinks and she will tell you how she feel. Please post more, thanks!

Will Bette really stand by while Tina hooks up with someone else? Will Tina try to hook up, thinking Bette’s not interested? I can’t wait to find out. More more more! Pretty please. :-)

I don’t think Bette’s going to be able to take Tina hooking up with anyone else. I foresee a bit of drama coming their way… Thanks for the chapter and pps. Cheers :)
Please post soon. I can’t wait to see what happens at Milk. I can’t imagine that Tina will really go through with hooking up with someone but Bette will probably be going nuts thinking that she is going to. Should make for an interesting night.
Ahh.. insecurity hitting them both big time! This evening is bound to be interesting and dramatic. Can’t wait for it to play out in front of our voyeuristic eyes. We’re no better than Tina… but so not ashamed if it lol. Thanks :)
