    Strictly Roommates – Chapter 8

    “I thought you might need some things,” Bette said, remembering Tina’s love of gardening. 

    At this admission, Tina’s smile was breathtaking.

    They spent over two hours in the store, Tina pointing and Bette carrying.  With the swipe of a credit card, they had everything Tina needed to add her own personal touch to the house.

     

    In the following week, Bette and Tina joined the girls every morning before work at the Planet.  Tina was growing more and more accustomed to her life in California.  Her job was going better than anticipated; she had the artistic freedom to pick and choose the projects she was passionate about.  She was fitting in nicely with the girls and was enjoying these newfound friendships that filled her with a sense of renewed energy.  And most importantly, things with Bette had been better than she ever could have expected.  Tina had cooked dinner for them every night that week, and they spent their nights drinking wine by the pool or going for long walks through their neighborhood.  She had officially met all of her new neighbors, and loved how diverse her new life was.

    Bette was unlike any woman she’d ever met.  She was so fast-paced; so quick-witted.  Incredibly intelligent.  Skeptical yet willing to learn.  Brash and sometimes sharp-tongued.  And yet when it was just the two of them, at night their living room, while the rest of LA quieted, Bette opened like a moonflower.  She showed Tina a vulnerable side of her that wasn’t seen when they were with the rest of the gang.  A different Bette, who allowed herself to cry during a sad movie.  One who told Tina of her fears and her hopes and of the catalysts of her passions.  A Bette who atoned for the quickness of her temper to Tina, even though the target of that temper was never Tina herself.  But Tina took these confessions if only to provide some relief for Better.  To remind her that underneath her flaws she was forgiving and forgivable. 

    Tina couldn’t explain the plethora of feelings she was experiencing, nor was she willing to analyze them.  She knew how inappropriate it would be to act on these feelings.  In her heart, she believed that it was better to keep Bette close to her as a friend, than to push her away by wanting to be more.

    1. They’re on the same page, they just don’t know it… yet. Here’s hoping everything becomes apparent to the two of them at some point in the near future. Otherwise, some heartache is likely in store. Great chapter, thanks atlas. :)

    2. They’re so cute and sweet! Apples, gardening tools, making their house a home – methinks they seem to already be building a life together. Friendship is a great foundation. Hopefully one of them is brave enough to make the first move. Thanks atlasundone!

    3. maybe with a little more whine, a little more sun, and a little more time they will find out whats still missing in that beautiful home theyre building=D love the story. Pps

    4. very interesting, indeed! garden shopping, fruit shopping, city tour, movie watching….and all in a week or so…hmmm…but only friends??? nahhhh…. :) great update! waiting for who would make their move…

    5. ‘Tina had cooked dinner for them every night, they spent their nights drinking wine by the pool or going for long walks’ – lol, cute little home-bodies ;-)

    6. Hmmm, how long is this “friendship” thing going to last? I wonder if it will take one of them starting to date someone else to jump start their relationship…
