“Let’s go shopping” Tina said.
“What? Now? Where?”
“The grocery store. I want to cook you dinner. I have to work tomorrow so it can’t be a late night, but that doesn’t mean we can’t spend the rest of the day together. What do you think?”
“I think that sounds lovely…”
Tina soon discovered that Bette was hopeless in the grocery store. “How do you even feed yourself, Porter?” she asked in the checkout line as Bette flipped through a magazine.
Bette put the magazine back and looked sheepishly at Tina. “I order out… a lot. I eat at the office, I have my groceries delivered. I’m not home much…”
“Well…we will have to find… things… to do to keep you home.”
“I would love that. You will find I have quite an… appetite…”
“Do you ever cook?”
“Not really. No need. I get meals at The Planet. I’ve never had anyone cook for me before…”
“Then this really does change everything. Prepare to be wined and dined, my dear. Culinary delights await your tongue…”
Bette glanced at the young man ringing up the register, who was giving every pretense of not staring at the two beautiful, sweaty women in his aisle who were so blatantly flirting. His face was pink, and he fumbled with scanning the wine.
She winked at Tina.
“My tongue is ready to taste them” she replied, smiling sweetly. The young man coughed and squeaked out their total, Tina handing him her debit card without taking her eyes off Bette.
Once the groceries were unloaded, Tina went out to check the garden. It evolved over the months into a beautiful space, with cherry tomatoes growing and flowers in full bloom.
Bette was having a large bed swing installed nearby in the shade that would allow them to sit near the garden in the afternoon. Tina was picking tomatoes when Bette came out, her hair still damp from the shower, barefoot. She looked adorable dressed casual and Tina grinned at her.
“Come try a cherry tomato, they’re finally ripe…”
Bette walked over and Tina held the tomato up for Bette to take in her mouth, her lips brushing over Tina’s fingers as she did so. Tina’s eyes widened, she hadn’t planned on that happening but she was glad it did.

This story makes my heart melt. Thanks BK.
I don’t know how long Tina’s going to be able to resist Bette’s charm. I sure couldn’t. And Holly’s going to figure out the roses if they keep coming every day. Yikes!
Thank you so much RK!
I don’t know that I could resist Bette for much longer either. Lawd.
Love your comment, glad you are along for the ride….
I agree with RiskyKitty it makes my heart melt too!
Stay safe, post soon

Stay safe SG.
On a side note, I have made a huge push to get outside every day at some point. Today, a walk along a small stream. Despite the small children who seemed determined to get underfoot it was really nice to get away and just…. be.
I hope you have a restful weekend. Peace.
I am gonna save this chapter for tomorrow! Will be back!
:)
I’m with you lady.
I am going to savor this post!!!!
Will probably read it twice.
Thanks in advance !!!!
I too try to get outside everyday. I take a walk or go to a regional park.
Stay safe.
Such a sweet story. Love it! Thanks
Thank you WKM
Bette is being really good. The temptation to go for a little more must be excruciating. Tina is not far behind. I think that they may be moving slowly but there will be a tipping point which not allow either of them to resist. And when it happens, it will be like nothing they have ever experienced before or subsequent.
I love this story. I love that Tina is so curious but so unsure as to what the next step is. I love that Tina trust Bette enough to tell her of fear. I love that Bette understands and is being as patient and she can be. This will only strengthen their relationship.
This is somewhat how I imagined it would go. They would become friends long before they become lovers. I think that it will allow them to have a long lasting and enduring relationship.
Thanks for this story…… Love it…. love to see more….
I agree. 100%. Bette has been amazing. Trust is, as you pointed out, essential.
Friendship is everything right now and will make for a great next step…
Thanks, Martha. Your comments mean the world.
Amazing, BK. Where to start? The picture of a totally confused and stunned Bette, probably recalling the kiss over and over again. Love that scene.
And then Tina remembering the kiss. The description of kissing a woman compared to kiss a man is simply beautiful. “They didn’t linger, savor, delight in the small touches… the way a tongue can feel moving over another tongue. The way lips can be more sensitive when pulled on, teased. ” The shared kiss.
Wow. That’s exactly how great kissing should be. Phenomenal how you captured this moment with your words. Feel hugged and thanked for that paragraph alone. Flashback moment for me. Reminded me of the myriad of sensations of my first kiss with a woman.
Much the same as her thoughts on telling people that she’s with a woman. Just great.
Some beautiful quotes. “This, Bette thought. Just… this.” “…. the passion kept corralled… though it prowled and crouched on the perimeter, waiting. ”
Loved the note under the pillow. Well, I love your story, BK. Thanks for sharing this gem with us.
Still have to get back to “remember who..”. Didn’t hit send this morning before shutting down my computer.
Enjoy your weekend!

You hit on ALL my favorite moments. The difference between kissing a man and a woman, I think, is a key part in all of this. Tina needed to see the change immediately. Love that you picked up on it.
The note on the pillow was added after the chapter was written. I thought Tina needed a way to tell Bette without having to TELL her (face to face) how important the new relationship; is.
LOVE your comments, thanks
BK,
Your writing brings joy . . . . Laughter . . . .anticipation. It makes just “reading” fun because our imaginations are easily swept up and engaged.
U’re sweet, but that little stunt with Alice . . .acting like she was talking about Bee&Tee was devilment at best. Though it made me laugh out loud. 😃. Poor Tina was dissolving into a puddle, only to raise her head to hear that “Shane” was the subject matter😉
I hope Tibette don’t accidentally devour each other knowing that the passion they have “kept corralled . . . though it’s prowling and crouched on the perimeter waiting” Is released. How’d U come up with that???
I feel like Bette knows passion to some degree, but Tina is ready to run thru a wall to experience it!!
I’m trying to figure out where their first time will happen? Hmmmmm a weekend get-away in the mountains perhaps?😧😍😍
DT
ALICE kills me. She had B/T wanting to crawl under a rock thinking their secret was out. LOL
And, to answer your question about the corralled passion – it just stuck. And wine, wine helps when I write. Not a lot of wine, just a glass. It eliminates my hesitation and need to over analyze. The sentence was there and I went with it. Glad you liked it, it was a fav of mine too.
First time…. the beach? the mountains? Either way, it’s happening FO SHO.
Thanks
hmmmm . . . so a case of “vino” is what I need to send ya ehh??? Red or white my dear???
BOTH you say???? Got it . . .
BWHAHAHA!
White with ice in true southern redneck fashion. :)
Great chapter BK!
I am not sure i have something to add to what already has been said in the previous comments.
From friendship to a relationship in a slow pace. Bette is so good and understanding of Tina’s feelings and fear. And Tina loves to tease her with all those kisses, if they go on like this they both can’t resist each other very soon.
And Alice, i really thought she was talking about Bette and Tina, she is a tease and i think she did it on purpose, trying them to confess about their next stage of friendship.
I love both your stories!
Thank you BiBi
ALICE ALICE ALICE right? Working on the next chapter now as it is a rainy day and good for sitting. Thanks
hi BK!
what a fantastic chapter! with as hot and heavy as it got with the kiss in chapter 3, there is still that fear of the unknown for tina. but what is certain (and I love that you fixed that right away…we know bette and tina sometimes have communication issues) is that they are falling for each other hard. im glad that there is no question of that from either of them and you had that wonderful text message and then their lunch at the planet. it is so refreshing that you are building their love story but character growth as well as any issue they would have is really within themselves…and once they overcome that, they will be stronger as individuals and as a couple. I love the build though! how the kiss meant so much but…that missed call threw them both off. and each knew they had to fix it and talk to each other. I love the romance that is happening so beautifully. tina’s curiosity and not really being able to resist bette. and bette knowing she wants tina but doesnt want to scare her away…that fear in her of losing tina. ugh. so good. so on point but when they are together? it’s like all is right in the world. why is it that they always put these rules in place for each other (im looking at you ‘let’s take it slow tina’ ;-)) only to just break them because they cannot stay away from each other? part of their charm.
I cannot wait for bette’s idea of ‘the next level’ to come to life in your story. I cannot wait for the next chapter (s)!! thank you for this beautiful love story. p.s. that note…ugh. my bette and tina heart.

I wanted to fix the communication issues from the start so glad you agreed with that. I want this story to be close to how I envision the characters from the show but also, maybe… dare I say it… a better version then the show showed us. Maybe a more self aware Tina and Bette rather then the mess they became by the end of season one.
And haha about “lets take it slow” Tina, she will quickly lose that resolve in the next chapter as you will see. So glad you are along for the journey, and thanks for commenting…
Hey BK,
Well, I read the chapter twice because it was SOOOOOOO good & I wanted to savor many of the details along the way.
Agreed with what everyone else has said about the chapter just excellent.
Also liked where ‘Bette didn’t know what to do with her hands’ & when Bette realizes Tina is bra less – ‘Oh sweet Jesus, she isn’t wearing a bra’ – what a dilemma for our Bette!!
So glad that you are taking the time to explore their early relationship before all the drama/trama of OG season 1.
Thanks so much & happy writing the next chapters!!
Thank you Collins. This story has been fun to write, glad you are enjoying it. Don’t spend too much time away from writing your own story – looking forward to the next chapter my friend!
Glad you are enjoying this awesome beginning for our Fav Couple.
They deserve a nice and loving story – just the two of them.
Working on my own story at the moment. Will post soon.
Thanks too my friend!!
BK
So sweet. Reminded me of my… ooops sharing to much.
love how Bette is holding on, she must feels something really special. Which you have captured beautifully.
K
HAHA Super K! Love it. Bette is holding on for dear life. Thank you for commenting, enjoying your story immensely. as well.
I love this tiny piece of written paper with Tina’s message for Bette…
From patience to passion, mix the magic of tenderness in waiting the fireworks…
As we say in french, “les petits ruisseaux forment les grandes rivières” (“little streams make for big rivers”),
That will makes a so beautiful journey for our beloved lovebirds…
Patience and tenderness !
Marvellous…
