    The Burden of Control – Chapter 14

    Tina (quietly): I felt it too.

    Bette: But as far as
    I knew you were involved with an important client of mineand very much
    straight.

    Tina: I never thought of myself as anything other than
    straight because I never felt attracted to womenuntil now.

    Bette: Until now?

    Tina: (smiles and takes Bette’s hand) Very much ‘until
    now’. I cared for Eric deeply. We were
    together for a long time and I loved him. (pauses) But I wasn’t ‘in love’ with
    him. I didn’t know how much longer we
    were going to be together, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t ‘the one’. But he offered me love, friendship and
    security and I found it hard to let go of that.

    Bette: Then why did you?

    Tina: Because not too
    long ago he took me to an art show and I met this wonderful gallery owner who
    opened my eyes to more than just art.
    When I went home that nightI couldn’t stop thinking about you. I was confusedand absolutely terrified about
    the feelings you invoked in me. And when
    you called me the next day about my earring, I knew I had to see for myself

    Bette: See what?

    Tina: To see if these feeling were real.

    Bette: So you came to my office.

    Tina takes Bette’s
    other hand in hers

    Tina: And you kissed me.

    Bette: (smiles) I did.

    Tina: And I knew.

    Bette: (softly) Knew what?

    Tina: That everything felt(smiles) right.

    Bette looks down at
    their joined hands

    Tina: Can I ask you another question?

    Bette: (smiles)Of course.

    Tina: Will you kiss me again?

    Bette: Here and now (she
    looks around. There are a few people walking along the trail around the lake)
    (gently)
    Are you sure? I don’t want you to feel uncomforta.

    Bette’s protest is cutoff
    as Tina leans forward and kisses her. It’s a gentle kiss, their lips barely
    touching, but the emotion behind it nearly drives Bette to her knees. They
    slowly, reluctantly break apart, maintaining eye contact as Tina brings her
    hand up and tucks a strand of loose hair behind Bette’s ear.

    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.
