Sun Salutations: Chapter 17
Tina admired the complex woman-child in front of her and felt her heart melt.
“Bette, when you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?”
“Um” Bette continued crunching for a few seconds and then swallowed. “I wanted to be an artist and live in
“What did you want to become T?” Bette’s last words were muffled as they raced against the spoonful of cereal landing safely in her mouth.
“A ballet teacher.”
“Really?”
“Yup. You already know that I’ve danced for nearly my entire life. But, while I was in college I taught 10 & 11 year olds and then taught reperatory high school students when I graduated. Ballet just became too regimented and structured for me. I still think it is the loveliest type of dance there is. Subtle and *****, yet bold and astounding. I actually never thought I’d stop dancing but that was before I experienced the beauty of yoga. I mean, I’ve done yoga for over 10 years but didn’t get serious until 5 or 6 years ago. And I honestly thought I’d be able to do both, but as you know, yoga consumes me. I can’t get enough of it. Sort of like you Bette.” Both women smiled at the other. “When I started seriously practicing yoga, I fell in love with it and couldn’t help but share it. Everybody deserves balance in their lives. Yoga helps us accomplish that. There’s always progress to make toward balance because no one stays there consistently.”
++++++++++++
After purchasing enough paint, oils, paper, charcoal, rollers, sponges, brushes and canvas to make Bette giddy, the lovebirds stuffed their purchases in the Murano until it looked like a vehicle carrying the entire contents of a house across the country.
“Tina, thank you for suggesting we come here. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to at first, but I’m glad we did. You’re so thoughtful baby. Don’t laugh but this was fun for me. Just seeing all of the supplies organized so neatly and all of the colors and different paints yelling ‘choose me, choose me!’ There are endless possibilities waiting to be born right here. That’s such a high for me.” Bette smiled.

So glad you have posted – I’m going to print this & read it while I relax in the bath.
& I’ll be looking forward to the promised make up seession you promise us! When is the Marathon?
I love Tina now. I want her.
The braids cinched it for me.
And the community service. Soul.
I just love your story and your NC-17 chapters are the best. I’m still worried that Bette may not really feel the same way as Tina. For Tina, the confident alpha, to melt with the first timer Bette really shows love. Bette seems too confident in the sex department as the first timer. I am stumped as to where you are taking this story.
oh tina would look hot in some cornrolls. ok the braids and community service might be winning me over. And bette with her fucking peaches LMFAO. I love peaches!!! and the sleeveless hoodie perfect. so was that nice enough?? come on give me credit I’m trying hard here. lol
fuck now I’m wish my fruity peebles were captian crunch(the peanut butter flavor yummy)
for some reason this song is in mind for tina’s class.
What you gon’ do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?
I’ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
Hey greentea! Still searching for those Bette models but I’ll let you know as soon as I find some! ;)
Fabulous chapter! The love and good vibes emitting from these two are simply wonderful. I hope you find the balance in your life soon! Thanks for sneaking in this chapter for us.
I love how they both made the first move before going to the club. Tina left Bette a message and Bette left Tina a present!! Please post soon.
Happy sigh as always. I just love your little treasure of a story. And thanks for your comments, btw. Count me as one of your happy fans.
Another great chapter greetea!!!! It makes me want to spend all my time fruit shopping!!!
That was a very refreshing chapter and fun too…please don’t replace the peaches with grapefruits we will all have sour faces instead of big smiley faces…lol….
Thank you and have a nice weekend.
Charming and beautiful, great depth laces your astute use of humour. Your finger is firmly on a funky pulse here, I love it.
You have breathed some youth into them, that is refreshing and innovative.
Good luck with the marathon ! That’s discipline. I prefer wielding my oak weaponry through the air, circling it through the madness of life, and coming back to the cohesive circumference of my peace.
Can we agree to disagree, ….. mutual pleasure ? … Thank you
aahhh baby. just a couple of things. i see CROO has joined us and techie. hopefully well see snQQpy in a moment.
honey, you so dismantle me with your writing. also, “Tina was ready detonate. all she needed was the go-ahead from the troops to do so.” capitan crunch, how’d ya know. this chappy just left me so fulfilled. its not ALL about sex. heehee. i had started reading this about 3 hours ago and couldnt finish. im now on my way to the gym. but i had to finish before i could go. i would feel unsettled. wow a marathon. really need to try that sometime. just dont forget about us. you have been a very good girl today, do you hear me? im very settled today. well not completely cuz the sexual tension was just a bit thick. ;) but thats a good thing to read about. have to go read mfh to get a release for that today. ahahaha. thanks sweetie.
Ok…this is quite a stupendous story and you are, indeed, an excellent, excellent writer – so, I apologize for taking so long to let you know! I am totally into this story…glad you found some balance in your life. Balance is good, I guess. So, if we all promise to do Sun Salutations or how about the Cobra – will you periodically surprise us with more ‘frequent’ posts (now that you’ve found that balance, I mean…lol). Seriously, thanks for such a great story that seems to showcase your talent!
I can’t wait for Bette to return to the art world….how many chapters ago did I see this coming?
BTW….I’m going to get me some Captain Crunch and see if its gets me as giddy as it does Bette
+_+
Tina was ready to detonate. All she needed was the go-ahead from the troops to do so……Her heart was in the next aisle hiding in a bushel of apples…..“I’m enjoying this peach right now, but what I’d like even more ….is to eat you when we get home.”
P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S!!!
Final thought….the thank you that was shared at the end of this chapter was simply beautiful!!
The sneaker thing was pure genius, with the whole idea of running in the relationship.. I’ll never look at peaches the same way again. They are both 2 perfect peaches that I’d like to eat lol I wonder if Bette plans on sticking to her word when they get home? I’m glad that they are finding balance, along with you. Good luck with your training! Can’t wait for more
A new song by Jill Scott and a new chapter posted ?my luck today. I read this chapter a few minutes ago, and wanted to formulate my thoughts. Of course, time does not allow that since I have to prepare to step out. I enjoy your prose. Can I tell you how much I love love the word happenstance? Oh, and I’m a sucker for Captain Crunch. Does it have crunchberries? It?s just these type of things that make me happy. I am enjoying this read, and mainly due to the way in which the story is told. I have read many Bette and Tina stories, and thus they all began to run together, so I appreciate the time and care you taking in verbally pulling us into this story by presenting something different. You don?t even have to do cliffhangers to bring me back. I don?t know if this story is rated Pg-13. LOL. I think I?m beginning to fall in like with this Tina. I’m beginning to think these two may truly be in love. All this talk about running and yoga is almost generating an interest for me in working out. Remember I said, almost. I?ll make due with the block that I have to walk to get transport me to my destination. Thanks again for your story.
I was awake at three in the morning cause my University is on strike. Supposedly, public universities are the best here in Brazil, so you know… since I don’t have to wake up early… =P
“nighttime creepy crawler thingies” That was something very Willow-like of Bette =P Absolutely adorable, hee hee ~.^
I think it was totally appropriate that Bette gave Tina that kind of present. It’s funny cause they both put a lot of effort into their presents, but a different kind of effort… kinda like Tina gave Bette an ‘artistic’ present while Bette’s idea was more like a ‘business-woman’ type of present. Thoughtful and expensive, but not as personal. Or something like that… Either way, it’s still different.
This chapter is probably the cutest one ever! Bette in this chapter is that Bette that wins you over with every little thing she says or does. So different from that insecure person from a couple of chapters ago…
It’s very interesting to see all these different layers of this particular character. Cause on the show she is so afraid to show all of her faces. Here she can be much more, I don’t know… open, I guess.
And Tina is definitely something else =D
WELL GREENTEA… i finally finished all of your chapters… and believe me they were hot.. and to hot to read at work.. but i managed…. love this story… love the way you discribe tina… i could actually see her in my mind… and i also love how bette has this fanastic body eating junk food… we all should be that lucky… so now i must wait fot your next chapter… oh BTW… everytime i look at a juicy peach… well you know… dammmmmmmmm girl… wink wink… please continue
Green,
Another great installment to your story. I love the versatility of these characters. They actually have a humanity here that I think is often missed in the fanfic universe. I read this chapter mutiple times and enjoyed the interaction of our favorite couple. To be honest, I know some may say that they seemed to be all about their physical connection prior to this point but I would beg to differ. IMHO the physical intimacy has been a glorious manifestation of their thoughts and feelings. They have graciously shared their temples/bodies with each other with feelings that they hadn’t really shared with anyone else.
I think the portrayal here is quite realistic as any new relationship the sex is plentiful. And you present their love-making with honor and respect, it’s not gratuitous or pornographic. Kudos.
I am patiently awaiting Helena’s return and for some reason I am not sure that we have heard the last of Carmen.
I enjoy that Tina is willing to support and encourage Bette to return to her art. She seems to have found a great balance by encouraging but not pushing to hard.
These are my very random thoughts. I hope they make some sense.
very good chapter i was actually eating a peach as i was reading it, and then i found out my mom went grocery shopping and bought captain crunch. POST SOON!!!
When I was 3, I dropped an extra large can of peaches on my foot and almost cut my toe off. I have since not been able to eat or drink anything of the “peach” variety. Your beautifully written story makes me want to re-evaluate this odd phobia. It sometimes takes me a while to catch up, but when I do…awesome! Thanks.
Damn thats awesome!!!!
You write with such a great sense of humor! I really do enjoy your posts the most beautiful beautiful beautiful :)
Just love the way that you so easily take me straight to that place…the place in their hearts and minds that allows me to inhale this story. Sometimes I forget to breathe while reading your story because I’m so deep within the lines. You’re a brilliant writer! Do you know that?
AH! More fruit!!! I’ll never be able to visit a salad bar again without naughty thoughts…
I love the gifts/comments showing their consideration for the other…so sweet. And the ‘Mother Theresa’ side of Don Juan Tina…nice…very nice.
Ok this peach scenarios are gettin overboard. *LMAO* Im happy its peaches tho and not nectarines..lol. Plus I LOVE peaches so its good.
Oh and i completely agree on Bettes take on the perfect peach only one thing…no white peach beats a yellow one. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Not gonna happen. So greenie..make sure they always use yellow peaches for their antics..LOL
Okay, that was random. Ill do a more substantial comment after work later on!!
hey green,
my gosh, I have a new appreciation for peaches. damn that scene was good. I am glad these 2 are becoming more ‘settled’ with one another. and though I LOVE your nc-17 scenes, I think some talking was definitely needed. another great chapter from my new favorite author, keep it up. I am curious as to how these 2 will work out.
Well…more cheesin for me with another crackin chapter: YAY!!!
OMG-the first two pages were fuckin funny. The stuff you said just kept ticklin me like hell. Especially Tinas reaction to her gift, Bette eating her Capatin Crunchs and their lil convo about camping. Dude..they were big kids in perfection. Greatness!!
Just to name a few:
““I’ll go camping Tina as long as I don’t have to sleep in a tent.”–LMFAO!!! Thats too funny..especially in comvination with the way Tina looked at her hearing that. Bette is so matter-of-fact and that just makes it more silly. LOL
Oh and Bette makin snoring sounds at Tina slowly opening her prezzie. Now that woulda been me doin the same thing *LOL*
““Su-weet! The man himself wrote a note to me! Nah nah nah naaah Nah.”, Tina sang and shook her butt to the annoying childhood tune.”–No comment except for the fact I had a vivid mental pic of that and it fukkin cracked me up! *hehehehehe*
They are both too funny and cute and kid-like in their excitement. I luve easily excitable people. *lol*
On top of that..Im glad they got closer on another than just the physical level in this chapter. More closer than before.And Im glad you wrote about it too. There was lots of nice lines in this chappy..the quote upfront, Bettes card to Tina, Tinas note to Bette…Bette’s thank you’s summed up by Tina at the end. Words have such power…its crazy and its deep. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmh!!!!
Ohhh and aside of their convo in the market that was hot (obviously)..ohhh i dig Bette’s attire for the community center…yummmy imagination. ;-) *hehe*
There was more but my mind ran blank..i need food. LOL
Thank you for this meditation on balance.
The opening quote was a prelude to the movement between B&T. They flowed together effortlessly today.
The ending poem was a coda, perfectly concluding the work, returning us back where we began, only subtly changed, at peace. Settled.
All kinda mixed metaphors! ????? What?
Hey, it’s late.
Cut a sista some slack…
And the peaches. Again.
Here’s what Encarta has to say about peaches:
“Fruit, seed-bearing structure of a flowering plant. A fruit is actually a ripened ovary, a component of the flower’s female reproductive structure. Fertilization of the egg, or female sex cell, within the ovary stimulates the ovary to ripen, or mature. Depending on the type of plant, the mature ovary may form a juicy, fleshy fruit, such as a peach…”
A peach’s plump bisected symmetry resembles a woman’s bosom or her a.. Looking into the cavity left by the stem seems almost an improper act.
Now I’ll have to sneak into the produce department at Whole Foods with my shades on.
Friend: “Who was that peach I saw you with last night?”
TG: “That wasn’t me. I was with the grapes.”
Thank you, Greentea!
How nice for a change to see our girls taking care of each other. Each giving a gift that would only mean something to them. Gotta love the camping thing, could you see Bette camping, too funny. My best friend always says that, she’ll go camping but she’s not sleeping in a tent. Always the yellow peach. Love Tina and the note, so thoughtful and it was good to see her anticipate Bette’s insecurities. Keep it up.
HEYGT:
