“I can’t wait to come home to this every night when we…” he started to say but caught himself, kissing her passionately instead.
Her brain reeled.
Was he about to bring up moving in together again? She tried to focus on his kissing as he moved down to her neck but her feelings were hurt. After everything they talked about, he still wasn’t in tune with what she wanted.
“This is going to be the best night of your life Princess…” he said, and her heart dropped. It was going to be a long evening.
The night didn’t quite end the way Eric wanted, however… instead, he ended up leaving the apartment with Tina behind in tears, the relationship over.
***
The next morning Tina met Bette on a trail by the water. It was early, they decided to get their run in before the trail got busy, so they had much of the space to themselves. Bette noticed immediately that something was off with Tina, she looked tired, like she had been crying. A lot judging by the puffy eyelids and somber expression.
“Bette?”
“Yeah?”
“I really need to run. Hard. Fast. Do you mind if I do that after a couple miles together?”
“Of course not. I will go at my snail’s pace and when you’re ready come find me.”
Tina took a big breath, finished tying her shoes. “Your new shoes look good on you, by the way… how do they feel?”
“They feel fantastic. I love them. The socks too…” she teased but got no response back. “Are you ok?”
“I… I broke up with Eric last night. It got ugly, things were said. It was a long time in the making but that doesn’t make it any easier.”
“I’m really sorry to hear that, Tee. Would you rather we get some smoothies and just talk?”
“No. I need to run; it will clear my head… then, then I would love to talk to you. I almost called you last night…” Tina said, suddenly shy.
She bit her lip. This was taking their friendship to another level. They flew past the early stages quickly, mostly due to the fact that they connected so easily. This would launch them into more intimate topics, feelings and hurt and possibly tears.

Very nice, thank you, a good end to what has not been a great day.
Glad you decided to write this story,
Stay safe,

I like this story very much. I like that Bette and Tina are easing into a friendship and a relationship. I like that Bette is being affectionate without being sexual. That is important in a budding relationship. I like that Tina is trusting Bette by tell her about her intimate details of her evening with Eric.
I like that Tina has broken up with Eric. I am sorry that she is so upset about it. He hardly worth the tears. I would be damn angry, but I would not regret a word that was said to him. Tina pegged Eric correctly – he was simply checking the box. That simply does not bode well for any relationship.
Thank you for this wonderful story. Look forward to more.
Another awesome chapter. Really like your writing style. Thanks for the update
WKM,
Did you like on page8 how BK said Bette was like a “whirlwind” from the moment she hit the threshold of Billie’s restaurant, and how “apologies rushed from her mouth” . . . I immediately stopped ad re-read that scene.
What a marvelous visual portrait!! This adventure is gon be hilarious and delicious.
Interesting chapter & I like how you are having their relationship unfold.
Eric is definitely not worth Tina’s tears. What an ass!!!!!!! Single minded jerk. Would certainly like to check some of his boxes – jerk (check), arrogant(check), self centered(check), etc!!!!!!!
Bette’s falling for Tina big time. Tina just doesn’t know it yet that she’s falling for Bette too.
Thanks for your great story.

Checking Eric’s boxes, hahah! I’m dead. Thanks for that. I would add egotistical pig (check). Why can’t I write a NICE Eric? Just doesn’t seem to fit.
Thanks
Very nice character I love how the friendship is blossoming. Post soon :)
Gosh I’m lovin the fresh cool vibe of this sweet story! Holly &Alice are gr8 for our girls. Wonder how much grief ol Hol gonna give Tina when Tina tells her that Eric is out of the picture? Does E work with Tina in this story?? Because if he does . . .
Anywho, bless you BK for making sure to have more than 4 or 5 pages in the post. It was nice to settle in a see how Bette & Tina’s friendship is developing. I chuckle to myself bc I think Tina (to her own surprise) is going t be the one making the 1st move toward more intimacy with Bette. HeHeHe!
Dito on Tina making the first move!
Love it! I mean, how could she resist?
Enjoying the story and slow burn relationship between Tibette!
Waiting for the next!
It is a really great story!
Nice to see the how their relationship develop, for now it is only friendship, but that is a very good step to grow to something more.
Eric, glad Tina broke it off, he is a self centered asshole and arrogant.
Looking forward to the next chapter!
I love this version of their beginning. Exciting to see how you’ll ease them closer and closer together.
Please post soon. I can’t wait.
BK, thanks for the second chapter. I already like the story.
The scene with buying running shoes is hilarious. I can totally see Tina hovering around Bette, adjusting the shoes, fitting the laces, asking her to walk around. The sales person either being stunned to silence or conversing animatedly with Tina over the best qualitiy and fit for running shoes for Bette. Oh and Bette’s expression when she tried on the socks! Great detail.
Lovely how they not so slowly grow closer and more fond of each other. Classic behaviour for a new friends who are on very tuned-in to each other. First call in the morning, last call at night, having to act out the immediate and intense connection.
Thanks for ditching Eric early on. But I guess we might hear from him again.
pps
stay safe and healthy

Thank you KP, the shoe shopping part changed over the course of writing. I kept going back to it, fixing it because it didn’t feel right. Glad you liked it, I did too once I stopped tinkering with it. :))
yes, the running shoe buy was fab!!! Oh alpha Tina wants to make sure Bette keeps showing up to run and stretch her sweaty bod afterwards! HeHeHe!!!
She tried to gloss over words that rushed out how she wouldn’t mind having to nurse Bette back to health should she injure herself running in those crappy shoes.
Who is she tryna kid??? Tina woud have Bette out of shoes, socks, and sweaty running clothes in world-record time!!!
BK
Loved the running shoe scene. I am an avid runner and it reminded me of the first time my friend took me to be fitted. It was just as funny and the socks too.
Love your approach, it is refreshing and new to an old story.

Really really like your story, well written, so easy to read, BRAVO !
There is just one little thing that made me gnashing when Bette said :”You shouldn’t have to disappear to be in a relationship” and that’s what she did with Tina years later … but, let’s just enjoy your story which is amazing !
Post soon please.
im fairly new to reading bette and tina fan fic…your voice for bette and tina is certainly my favorite so far! I love this story. please keep this one coming! baby bette and tina is thoroughly fascinating in your hands.
thanks!
Thank you so much! And welcome :)
Ah, the gardening is the perfect metaphor for this new relationship between our dearest B&T : seed are sown on a marvelously fertile ground for flowering to follow, slowly but surely – so surely – until a revealing, life-altering harvest !
From a beautiful friendship until a deep shared love – that’s the miracle of heart’s gardening…
My goodness, how such a theme speaks to me – painfully, alas, but, well, luckily your Bette will got a much better harvest than mine.
Take great care of you, dear BK !

Catching up on my reading with this story, BK – beautifully written. Really first class. Dialogue is so natural and their connection so believable. Looking forward to the rest of it x
Oh, that was so funny she said “he must need a GPS and a pair of glasses because I’ve never seen a pussy that didn’t work.” I’m lmao right now
