The Beginning 2
“I kept telling him, let’s enjoy each other… and he just didn’t or couldn’t or whatever and I… I stopped it. I told him to stop. He wasn’t forcing me, at all… he would never do that… he was gentle, but he wasn’t interested in what I wanted. We talked about it before, many times, so the fact that I put so much effort in to making the evening special and all he could think about was the fucking was annoying. It was the last straw. That’s when some things were said.”
Bette nodded, and one hand coming up to rub Tina’s back in circles.
“What did he say?”
“He said I was a cold fish, that I had no emotions whatsoever and was incapable of love… that I just… lay there during sex and never participate. He said that he was rushing because this was the first time I had shown any real interest, which is so not true. Anyway, he called me some… horrible names and told me I needed to have my… my pussy looked at, that it wasn’t his fault if my body wasn’t responding the way other women do with him. That he could have his pick… and on and on. I wasn’t innocent during all this; I said some awful things too. How he never listened, how he couldn’t make me come, how I would fake it.”
Tina’s voice broke, her chin wobbling and Bette put her arm around the blonde’s shoulders to pull her closer, Tina’s head lowering to rest on Bette’s shoulder. They sat that way for some time, Tina’s tears falling to roll down her face and reach Bette’s chest where they were absorbed by her shirt. Despite the sweatiness of both, neither minded and Bette put her head on top of Tina’s to have even more contact.
“I felt so… vulnerable, sitting there in this ridiculous teddy that already made me self-conscious while he berated me and made fun of my body. It was awful. That’s when I told him we were over. Done.”
“He must need a gps and a pair glasses because I’ve never met a pussy that didn’t work and there is nothing wrong with your body…” Bette said.
Tina lifted her head to look at Bette, their faces close. She laughed through her tears, the kind of laugh you do when you’ve been crying but something funny comes up and you find yourself giggling and crying at the same time instead. Her eyes were still filled with tears and her nose was running slightly but Bette thought she looked so pretty and so defenseless that she couldn’t help the kiss she placed on Tina’s forehead.
“You shouldn’t have to disappear to be in a relationship, Tee. You did the right thing, I’m sorry he was cruel to you. Any chance you like to plant flowers?”
Tina leaned away from Bette to get a napkin from the basket and wiped her face and blew her nose.
“I love to plant flowers, why?” She hiccupped, her tears ending. Bette smiled.
“Well, there’s a plant sale at the Botanical Gardens later today and I was going to buy some for my gardener to put in this week but if you’re up for it, we could see what we can do to help my backyard look a little more presentable and take your mind off those foolish comments by Eric.”
The smile Tina gave her was like the sun coming out from behind the clouds. “You have a gardener? That is a crime, Bette Porter. I will gladly take over that responsibility if you’ll let me”
“It’s yours if you want it, Tee.” Bette replied seriously, she enjoyed making Tina smile. Her hand found it’s way to Tina’s hair and she stroked it, her fingers playing with the long strands by her shoulder.
“I like it when you call me that, I’ve never had a nick name before…” Tina said quietly.
Bette kissed her on the shoulder, playfully, friendly. “It suits you” she said.

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.

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.
Collins says
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 :)
DumplinT says
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!
kiwipit says
Dito on Tina making the first move!
BK says
Love it! I mean, how could she resist?
Zhenya says
Enjoying the story and slow burn relationship between Tibette!
Waiting for the next!
Bibi28 says
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!
Lauren25 says
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.
kiwipit says
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. :))
DumplinT says
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.

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 !
