Tina: Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.
She turned to look at Bette for the first time since they had been out there. Bette, in turn, turned to look at her as well. Bette searched her eyes for just a few short seconds; in the moonlight their color was indistinguishable, yet they still had a gleam.
Bette: So what’s your story? Oh my god, I’m starting to sound like Alice.
Tina: Hmm, my “story”. Which chapter are you referring to?
Bette: The one about love, I guess. I’m sorry, you don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to.
Tina: No, it’s okay.
Tina turned her head so that she was looking back out into the night. Bette continued to watch her face.
Tina: Well before I moved here I was engaged. To a man.
Bette: Oh.
There was a fleeting moment in which her heart sank.
Bette: Can I ask what happened?
Tina: I… had an affair. With a woman.
Bette: Oh? This “oh” was much different the first one. It was a surprised “oh”. A slightly hopeful “oh”. A please-continue-you’re-killing-me-here “oh”.
Tina: Yeah… Tina looked sheepish, almost embarrassed. It’s not something that I’m in the habit of doing.
Bette: What, girls?
Tina: No. Cheating.
Bette: I’m not judging, Tina. Believe me, I’m no angel either.
Tina: Why Miss Porter, I can’t believe you’d be a trouble maker, she joked, winking at Bette.
Bette: (blushing slightly at this gesture and smiling) Something about the road to hell being paved with good intentions.
Tina: (Chuckling) Exactly.
The women were silent for a few minutes.
Bette: Do you wanna talk about it?
Tina: I think I do, actually. If that’s okay?
Bette: Of course. I’m here to listen.
Tina: I met Eric a few years ago, fresh out of college. He was really sweet as far as guys go. Always very respectful. He was a small-town boy, too, so we had the same mentality. I loved who he was and how kindly he treated me, but I guess I always knew I wasn’t in love with him. But I felt more for him than I did for any other guy I’d dated, so when he asked me to marry him I said yes. I wasn’t in love, but I cared about him… I thought that was enough. At least somebody wanted to marry me, you know? I felt… greedy, self-serving… that I should expect to feel head over heels in love. I had a nice man who loved me, and that’s more than most people have.

Thanks for the update. So, Tina is interested in women and she’s available BUT she cheated on her fiance…what will Bette think? Please post soon….
Your description of Bette’s ‘ohs’ was great! I really like your new twist on how Tina came to realize she’s gay. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Oh yeah, Tina has definitely arrived and landed directly in Bette’s vision and house. Can’t get much better than that.
Awesome..glad to know Tina does like women and Bette doesn’t have to worry about stress of being Tina’s first sexual experience with a woman that (if you intend to go that route – hehe). Tina still needs her first love experience..and we all hope it will be with Bette. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
yay! At least bette doesnt have to convince tina that women are much betterxD Just commented on chapter4 when i saw you already had 5 done! Keep up the good work. Pps!
Not into men never mind Eric lol. Great, now the show can start, they can experience their first love together. Waoooooooooo PPVS
I do like the direction this story is heading!
well one road has been cross. …Tina is into women. I can see torture nights to come.
let the games begin… i have a good feeling bette is going to make the first move… she knows a good thing when she see’s one.. and she doesn’t want anyone else to ask tina out… so my vote is bette makes the first move… pps
Your writing style just seems to make the story flow. the dialogue is smooth. No worries. Just go forward.
