The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 10
Bette moved to her side of room and sat down on her bed. She kicked off her shoes, leaned back on the pillows and closed her eyes to relax. Bette had been on for the past few hours and she was drained. As she lay there, her mind unknotting itself from the tensions of the day, she worried that if she went to watch the Lword with Dana and Tina, that shed have to be on again. The moment Tina looked into her eyes, shed know something wasnt right. Bette saw no point in discussing her feelings with Tina. In her mind, there was no point in discussing something she couldnt change. And not only that, but she didnt want Tina to feel bad because Bette Porter couldnt show a little patience and understanding. She didnt want to appear selfish or like she was pressuring Tina to come out. At the same time, she couldnt fake it tonight. Shed done that yesterday afternoon and evening when Tina again refused to publicly claim Bette as her own.
Bette massaged her temples and tried to re-center herself. If I just wait it out, Im sure shell come around. I dont want to pressure her. Tina loves me. I know that. I just have to give her a little time to feel comfortable with all this. I can do this. I can. Bette Porter can handle this., she thought.
Bette pulled out her cell phone and stared at it. Her initial intentions had been to come home, change clothes, and head straight to Danas. However, as she stared at the silver phone in her hand, she got cold feet. She needed to call Tina and let her know she was coming, but Bette was running out of energy. Her shoulders slumped as realized she didnt have the strength left to be on tonight. She didnt have the stamina to pretend that everything was okay, when in her heart, she knew it wasnt. Bette let the phone slide from her palm down to the bed and rested for a moment.
Ill just change and go to bed. I really want to see T, but I feel like I might break down right now., thought Bette.

I feel so sorry for both Bette and Tina. I know what Tina’s going through. For a long time I denied my feelings for someone because I knew that my family would not be accepting of it. Things worked out in the end and we’re not together. Yes, you read right. It took me years to realise that I was ‘in love’ with a memory. He, as matter of fact, we both changed over the years and it took me forever to realise that.
But Tina and Bette have the real thing. It’s alot harder to walk away from something like that. How do you tell the one person that ‘gets’ you on SO many levels that the love is not to be? You can’t. The fall out headed Tina’s way will surely place alot of stress on, and test their love. I hope that you can help this ‘Tristan and Isolde’ to navigate their fates as quite frankly, their love for each other is beyond their control…it just exists…without question or reason.
Thanks MTS…your stories are therapeutic when it comes to personal struggles=) I’m glad Alice is smart enough to leave Bette alone and respects the fact that she has Tina in her life even if she is closeted. I hope Bette has the patience and that Tina is brave enough to keep the love of her life. Wonderful chapter MTS…totally awesome, please update soon!
Wow, another great one in, love it. I’m glad you are posting so often.
Off to finish studying for finals and to hopefully finish all my next chapters. Why’d I go to college anyhow?
This story is awesome MTS. Must continue!
i love this story – thank you – soft and beautiful, sexy and charming x
With Alice prowling on the periphery and Tina’s indecision I sense trouble ahead for our duo. Say it’s not so. I’m trying to shield my eyes from the inevitable train wreck.
Excellent chapter!
Really loving this story! But I have a question that popped into my mind, a kind of funny one. So, if they’re watching the L Word and their names coincide with the regular characters, are we to assume that all of the show’s characters in this wonderful world you’ve created have different names? Or do they have the same names and the characters in your fan fic are like, hmm…that’s funny? Just a silly question.
Wheee! Happily ending another wonderful ride on the MTS roller coaster :) Thank you for posting AFTER 10, btw – it’s much easier to focus on that yellow ball without have B&T thoughts swirling around in the brain, you know? Thank you for posting!! Oh, one Q…TBC soon?
Nipple_Confidence, I have the same question. I hit a snag with this parallel universe thing. I fear that if the girls actually verbalize that they have the same names as the characters from the show there will be a ripple in the time-space continuum that may destroy the universe. I just pulled that from back to the future…but yeah, I have the same question. =)
I love the way you are introducing other characters into the story. The ice cream trip got them out of that dorm room. The side journeys relieve the claustrophobic feel. However, this is their own little world.
I really feel for their situation. I’m glad they each are developing friends that they can share their feelings with.
Thanks.
Oh, BTW, this Alice is excellent – just the right mixture of comedy and empathy. I can see she and Bette becoming great friends.
Thanks for posting so regularly!.
“Their eyes locked for a second; this second revealing Alice’s feelings towards Bette. Bette understood …that Alice was more than willing to take Tina’s place if given the chance” and “The pink color traveling to Bette’s cheeks was hidden in the shadows of the late evening. “Thanks.â€, she mumbled.” It seems Bette is disturb and perhaps, let “an open door” for Alice. Is it because of Tina, who find difficult to be seen in public with her or does she begin to feel something for Alice ? And also, it’s good for Bette to talk with Alice, who is totally out of the closet, who can explain a lot of things to her. I’ll be happy if Tina wasn’t so afraid to be seen with Bette as her lover.
Anyway, I love your story, so thank you.
So, I totally appreciate and am enamored with your writing. You are absolutely one of the best writers on this site. But you are ABSOLUTELY THE QUEEN of the sex scenes! Excellent!
You have a way with words. Keep them coming!
i’ve read this from the very beginning, not really commenting, but loving every word. i’m kinda disappointed in bette, in her feelings towards tina’s “outness.” she shouldn’t be so upset about it, cause in reality she isn’t out either. her father doesn’t know about her. she is just out on a college campus, mainly to a social group and a few others. i think she needs to reflect on her own life a little. keep this up. i love this story!
so i totally love your stories. I read the original roomates story in one weekend and the sequel is living up tp the original. keep up the great writing!~
so loving this story. i love the way tina conveniently redeems herself every time bette is feeling down about their relationship. on one hand i do think bette is being a little touchy – at least she HAS a love like that with tina.. and it should be tina’s decision – it’s not like she’s denying the fact that she loves bette and all. But on the same hand i know how much it can hurt to know that the one person you’re closest to doesn’t want to hold your hand because they are afraid. such a paradox.. but i love the way you’re handling it. i also love this new, seemingly less flakey alice – she’s so aggressive and insightful! anyway, keep up the excellent writing!
It keeps getting better and better.. I love each chapter.
Thanks for this wonderful chapter. Can’t wait for the next one.
WOW amother great chapter..watch out Tina here comes Alice..PLEASE POST SOON
