Subtleties * Chapter 8
"Insecure."
"Insecure? Wow, I wasn’t expecting that." Bette felt dizzy, "You make me feel beautiful and interesting and I make you feel insecure. I must be a bigger ass than I thought."
"No.no.no. That’s not what I meant. I’m struggling here, Bette. What I’m trying to say is that in all my past relationships I never really cared because I knew someone would always be there. Jesus, now who sounds narcissistic?"
"No, Tina. Go ahead."
"There were always guys in and out of my life. Those I dated and those I didn’t. I was always the one that was pursued. Flowers, candy, letters, etc. I never really worked at a relationship. I never cared enough because I knew that other person would always be there. But you…you come out of nowhere and I can’t figure it out. I look at you and I want you in every way possible – in ways I never even thought possible, and we’ve hardly known each other a week.
I want to talk to you and listen to you and figure you out and I know that you were this player and that I’m probably just another girl and that scares the hell out of me. I’ve never cared enough about someone to put myself out there. With you, I feel like I’m out there on the ledge, waiting for that next gust of wind or woman to knock me off."
Bette stared at Tina, shocked by the blonde’s honesty. Bette wasn’t used to someone being so forthright, especially someone she wanted to be in a relationship with,
"Tina, the player thing…that’s not me. Not any more. Please believe that. And the last thing I would ever want you to feel is that you were out there on that ledge alone. I’m out there, too. This is new for me, too."
Tina nodded silently and gathered their plates from the table. She was angry at herself for having shared so much. Too much. She’d never done that before, opened herself up like that to another person. What was this power Bette had over her? She didn’t understand it. She felt as though she could confess her heart to this woman, whether she wanted to or not, and it scared her.

Thanks for the update, loved the connection they have but are too afraid to open up about
our writing is so vivid that I can feel their attraction. It is so palpable. How can they keep their hands off each other?
let’s hp[e they won’t lose that connection…is it tomorrow yet? lol
Mmmm…their first kiss. Great update, thanks.
Another amazing update. Can’t wait to read more. Like I said I just can’t get enough of your writing.:) Thank you.
I´m with Tina – tomorrow night cannot come soon enough. I absolutely love your writing.
Great update. They have both undone each other and finding it difficult to talk about and admit. Hope they get over it soon. And yes, tomorrow can’t come soon enough for me either. Thanks for posting .
Wonderful Update!!! What a first kiss. It is so nice to read B&T opening up to each other. Thank you PPVS Happy to see you are feeling better.
scaf….Great chapter! I really love this story. Thanks for the update. I hope you are feeling 100% soon, get plenty of rest and and write more chapters. Thanks for this story. can’t wait for next chapter.
Shucks, I wanted to see drunk Bette (lol). Great update! What’ll when Tina meets Bette at her gallery? How long will Bette be able to remain strong before bedding Tina? Will Tina start to have doubts about being with a woman for the first time? So many questions…
I was enjoying the Thanksgiving Dinner Kiss, Bette showed more restraint than I could have if I were kissing Tina, oh to be so lucky.
Thank you for this great story.Looking forward to the date at the gallery.
i cant get enough of this story scaf!!! give me moreeeee pleaseeee :)
WOW OMG i didnt breathe reading that :) wow that was awsome pps
The imaginary last 4th page was like the abrupt ending to their own date. You are putting pressure on yourself to post even sooner….. Just sayin….:D
Hoping their timeframe is the same as ours and that tomorrow will actually be tomorrow or maybe even sooner? Love every chapter… Thanks.
I think I was kind of holding my breath through this update..!
Thanks for the great update. I love this story. I hope the gallery date goes just as well as the dinner, and maybe they can open up a bit more.
this is the story that I love for an update on everyday :) I am loving this story. More please. Thanks.
I love that a drunk Bette is a horny Bette and she didn’t want to scare Tina off. That is so cute and loving all at the same time. Great read thanks for sharing
Scaf…that was one of the most vulnerable Tibette conversations on fan fic. The openness, honesty, courage that they demonstrated (particularly Tina) was simply amazing! I’m also glad that you are delaying the NC-17. Having the build up is great but more so, for each of them to come to an emotional intimate place – shows deep love and commitment. I love the pace of your writing. Nice to see that Bette isn’t sticking her foot into her mouth. LOL! Glad you are feeling better…thanks for sharing your time-off with us!
That was wonderful and sweet, love it. Can’t wait to see their date tomorrow coming. Please post more, thanks!
Next post can’t come soon enough, either. :)
YAY!! I’m so glad you posted now I’m in a good mood to go working. I loved this chapter, can’t wait for the next :):):)
