    The Burden of Control – Chapter 14

    Tina: You’re beautiful, Bette.

    Bette pulls Tina into a tight hug.

    Bette: (whispers) No one’s ever said that before.

    Tina: I find that hard to believe.

    Bette pulls away.

    Bette: I’ve had my share of relationships. But I’ve never found anyone who I wanted to
    make a committed to. No one’s ever said
    what you said to me without expecting something in return.

    Tina: (smiles) I said it because I meant it. I said it
    because it’s the truth. The only thing I
    want from you is a chance.

    Bette turns Tina around
    to face the lake and she hugs her from behind.
    They stay that way, content in their new closeness, as they watch the
    sun slip between the metropolitan skyline, throwing burnished light across the
    slightly wind rippled surface of the water.

    Bette: You have that. (whispers) And anything else you want.

    Tina closes her eyes
    as the light of the sun and the warmth of Bette’s words sooth away any
    remaining nervousness she felt. Things would be ok. They’d find their way together, she was sure
    of it. Nothing ever felt this right before.
    She smiles as lips softly tease their way across her shoulder and up her
    neck before landing on a decidedly sensitive spot that has Tina helplessly
    squirming.

    “I didn’t know you were ticklish there, sweetheart”

    Tina’s eyes shoot
    open, not at the words, but at the voice that formed them. For a long terrifying moment, she is unable
    to get her bearings. She was just at the parkwith Bette. They were watching the sunset together. Just
    when panic threatened to overwhelm her, Tina remembered. She remembered
    everything. And realized that the Bette and Tina from
    Echo Park were very different from the Bette and Tina that existed today.

    And the lips that were just kissing her were
    not Bette’s. They were

    Helena: Are you
    ok?

    Tina: (quietly) I’m fine.

    Helena: I’m
    sorry I woke you. I thought that you were awake. (pauses) You were smiling.

    Tina: I was?

    Helena: You must
    have been having a good dream.

    Tina: Dream?

    Helena: Weren’t
    you dreaming?

    3. tibette—glad to see you back. I have missed this story. Don’t let S3 get you too down. I am supporting the show and I think I am actually coming to terms with B & T. I still have hope that they will find each other again…and I always have authors like you…who will make us happy in the end. please post soon.

    4. You’ve returned! Thanks for continuing the story, even if you were nudged into doing so. This chapter was definitely worth it. I do hope we won’t have to wait another couple of months before the next post. :-)

    5. Don’t get discouraged by season 3 at this point there is nothing we can do to change it but you have a story you want to write continue on in the direction you intended and give us readers something to look forward too!!!!

    6. yay im glad you are back!. Nice chapter..maybe Tina’s dream was a way to get her attention to Bette…she soo needs T right now. I hope she tells T about her illness because although the girls will be there for her..who she really wants by her side is Tina ;) Post soon!.

    7. So glad you posted really missed this story. Tina’s dream was so loving and full of promise, and to “wake up” realizing it was only a dream…UGHH. Tina needs to talk to Bette. She needs to tell her about the baby. Don’t get discouraged about S3, who knows where all this drama is going to lead. Please update soon and thanks for the story.
