Subtleties * Chapter 8
So lost in her thoughts, Tina was completely oblivious to the fact that Bette had followed her into the compact kitchen. Bette stood behind Tina. Her head was foggy and she was furious that she had allowed herself to drink as much as she had. Alice was right, Tina didn’t need to see drunk Bette. But Bette was slightly intoxicated and the sight of Tina bending over the sink was setting her body ablaze with desire.
"Hey." Bette called out self consciously, hoping she’d be able to hide the desire in her voice.
Tina stopped cleaning off the plates but paused a moment before turning around to address her guest,
"Why me, Bette?"
"What?"
"Why me? Of all the patrons in that bookstore. Of all the educated high society people you must meet in your gallery day after day. Why me?"
"Because…because…" Bette fumbled with her words. She knew what she wanted to say but was terrified to say it. Bette licked her lips and tried to explain all that was in her heart but she wouldn’t get the chance. With one swift motion, Tina pushed off of the sink behind her and kissed the stunned brunette. Bette fell backward, her back pressed hard against the far wall. Bette’s body reacted to the kiss immediately. Leaning into the kiss, clinging to Tina’s hips, she heard the blonde moan. Bette felt as though she would faint. Tina pulled away slowly, admiring the beauty of Bette’s face as the brunette’s eyes were still closed. Tina watched in awe as they fluttered opened. As Bette focused her gaze on the blonde, Tina smiled sheepishly,
"I’ve wanted to do that all day."
Bette nodded. Her heart was pounding a furious rhythm in her chest. She wanted more. She wanted to reach out and touch Tina. She wanted to kiss her again and again but knew instinctively that if they started they wouldn’t stop.
"That was lovely." Bette whispered
"Uh huh."
"I…um..I have to go."
"You have to go? Don’t you want some dessert?"
Yes. I want you for dessert. I want you on that table. In the living room. Up against that wall. In your bed.
Bette cleared her throat , "I would love to but the show…there’s still so much I have to do."
"On Thanksgiving?" Tina was confused. She thought that the day had gone well. But maybe her confession was a little too much for the reformed player.
"I know it’s not ideal. And to be quite honest I would love nothing more than to spend the rest of the day with you. But the show…."
"I understand," Tina nodded, walking into the bedroom to retrieve Bette’s coat,
"You’ll be okay? You had quite a bit of wine?"
"I’ll be fine." Bette shrugged on her jacket and wrapped her scarf around her neck as she followed Tina to the door.
"Your going is a bit abrupt." Tina remarked honestly.
"I know. I don’t want to leave you Tina, I really don’t. It’s just…"
"The show. I know." Tina smiled as she straightened the brunette’s scarf.
"I’ll make it up to you," Bette smiled and Tina’s heart fluttered
"I’ll hold you to that."
This time it was Bette that leaned in for the kiss. The brunette applied gentle pressure, opening Tina’s mouth with her own; Tina clung desperately to Bette’s jacket as their tongues danced. Bette pulled away, a goofy grin plastered on her face, "You’re amazing."
"Go. Before I pull you back in here." Tina teased.
As Bette turned to leave, she reached out and clasped the blonde’s hand one last time. "Meet me at the gallery. Tomorrow night at seven. I’m closed tomorrow so It’ll just be us. Just ring the bell. Okay?"
"Okay." Tina touched her fingertips to her lips as Bette walked down the hall and out of sight. Tomorrow night couldn’t come soon enough.

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 :):):)
