Subtleties * Chapter 3
"You’re stunning," Bette responded.
Tina felt the hunger and attraction in the brunette’s gaze and couldn’t help but remember what Shane had said about Porter being a player. She didn’t want to be sucked into a one night stand and she most certainly didn’t want to be charmed into someone’s bed. The minute she felt Bette’s gaze upon her, she knew she’d have no defense. There was only one thing she could do. She needed to protect herself.
"I have a boyfriend." The lie was out of Tina’s mouth before she could stop it.
Bette felt the words as though they were a slap to her face. She has a boyfriend? Then why the fuck is she here?
"I guess it’s a good thing then that I invited you to coffee and not to bed." Bette quipped testily.
All at once the air had changed, and what had started as an evening with hopes of romance was slowly headed in the opposite direction.
"I beg your pardon?"
"You have a boyfriend. Good for you. What do you want me to say? Personally, I find the idea of a penis physically revolting but," Bette’s voice drifted off, "Like I said, I just asked you to coffee. It doesn’t mean I want to date you."
Tina’s face flushed in anger as the color crept up her neck and enveloped her face. "Oh really? Then why did you ask me to coffee?"
"Because you looked lonely. And you looked like you might be a good lay."
Bette was horrified by the words that were coming out of her mouth. She was fucking everything up, but the events had been set into motion. The domino effect was at full force. Everything that came out of Bette’s mouth was worse than the thought before. Bette watched as Tina stood from the table, her eyes brimming with tears. Tina pulled a twenty from her wallet and flung it at the gallery owner’s face.
"Have a nice life, Ms. Porter. I don’t know why I even came here tonight. I should have gone with my gut feeling, that you are a pathetic, lonely shell of a woman." With that, Tina turned on her heels and bolted through the door.
Bette watched as the blonde disappeared out of sight,
"Everything I touch," Bette murmured to herself, "turns to fucking shit."

Oh…I nearly grabbed my heart I felt so much pain for these two women. Make it better…please. Thanks!
Ouch! Not a good first date. Please fix it!
LMAO gotta love that bloody domino efect! Oh reeeally love this chap! It spice it all up, well one thing for sure, this’ll be one messy tibette ff, can’t wait! “Because you looked lonely. And you looked like you might be a good lay.” – LMAO!! Oh Bette Bette… Tnx for posting, please update soon!!;))
Wow! That was great. Very unexpected twist and I’m excited to see how you work this out for our girls. PPS!
I so did not expect that turn of events. Makes for a few rather spicy chapters to come. Can´t wait to see what you´ll come up with next.
Wow that was a tough chapter. Love your writing, looking forward to more.
Oh Bette! How could you?
Totally reactive. This is going to be a fun ride.
Wow that was so not what I expected!! But I love your writing, please please post very soon to fix this mess!! :D
Dang!!!!, to say I was shocked is an understatement. What the Hell were they thinking? Bette did go a bit too far and I don’t blame Tina for leaving. I do blame Tina for beginning the lies. Bette needs to do something quickly to turn this around. My mind just reeled at what Bette kept saying, and I hurt for them, I couldn’t believe it. Hope Bette attempts to fix this soon. Thanks for posting.
Open mouth and insert Manolo Blahnik. That was a messed up thing for Bette to say and she really should not have reacted like that although that seems to be the theme for Bette in this story. That being said,why did Tina feel the need to lie about having a boyfriend? I’ll tell you why. Because she already has a pre-concieved notion of who Bette is thanks to Shane’s comments about “The Bette Porter”. I can’t wait to see how you work this out. :)
Dang Bette! She has got to watch what comes flying out of her mouth.
The last few lines of this chapter stunned my heart. I hope it gets better for them, so that even if they are not lovers at least they can be friends.
I am truly curious how you are going to turn this around, post soon, scaf.
Omg WTF just happened. Wow scaf! This is amazing, am I feeling whiplashed? Awesome, thank you so much:)
A first date to remember.How can Bette fix this?I love your writing.Thank you.PPS
tsk tsk tsk…oh c’mon porter you just didn’t do and say that??? now sort your shit out and find one hundred ways or more to get her back…
Hey Scaf! Great to have you back with another story! What I’m gonna say might sound weird, but I actually loved this turn of events! I think it was the perfect direction to take. Why? Because, that was so in character! Given the way their first encounter went at the bookstore, I would have been disappointed if they had both fallen into a confortable and smooth interaction with one another right away. I mean, I guess after this chapter they can finally start to take a path toward knowing a bit more about each other other than their respective auto-defence mechanisms, but a too rushed evolution of their relationship would have been unrealistic to me. That’s just my opinion of course. I genuinely think that this is proof that you are a ‘natural’ with writing a beautiful intrigue, the fact that your writing unexpectedly took a different direction. It’s almost as if the characters you created had decided for themselves… Genius! Now, I’m excited to see where you’ll take those two, but for me, that chapter was totally in character and in tune with the chemistry that is slowly settling between them. Long comment I know, but I really wanted to express my feeling about this twist of events. Thanks for the story, you’re a very talented writer! Cheers, K
Hey scaf, What started out so well suddenly flipped and became the meeting from Hell. Tina’s bluntness about her botfriend just brought out the worst in Bette. Suddenly a stream of offense phrase flowed from her mouth and pushed Tina all the way out the door. I was LMAO at this scene. Good for Tina in walking away at this abuse. Now, Bette has some serious ground to recover. I hope she makes it up to Tina soon. Just a great story, beautifully written and constructed. More please. Many thanks fronm Your Loyal Fan.
oh no! Go after her Bette or Tina come back. I love your writing. thank you
Happy Thanksgiving!! I am loving the fire and the spice here!!! Was xpecting a hand grab that lead to the inevitable 1st kiss, glad & saddened that it did not happen. PPVVS!!
