The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 40
Bette smiled at the bittersweet memories of her early relationship with Tina.
“I didn’t. I had no idea Tina was into women. The day we moved into the dorm, I was drawn to her. She was just so pretty to me. But, she was with Eric. I thought she was straight. Well.even Tina thought she was straight.”
“Yeah? So how did you move past that?”, asked Dana.
“Wow, I can’t believe Tina never told you this.”, said Bette.
“Nope. She never told me. I never asked before.”
Bette glanced around them to make sure no one was listening in to their conversation. She felt as though she were conveying top secret information and wanted to be as discreet as possible.
“Okay. Don’t tell anyone this, okay?”, said Bette.
Dana nodded in response. “Okay. I won’t tell.”
Feeling that their confidence would not be broken, Bette continued on. “Well, one night she had a really bad nightmare. I was studying and she was tossing and turning and crying out in her sleep. I woke her up and she wanted me to hold her.”
Dana’s eyes opened wide. “She did?”
Bette nodded and smiled. “Yeah, she did. And then she told me that she’d dreamed about the two us. That in her dream we were a couple. That we were together. So, we talked about things and Tina finally confessed how she felt about me.”
“Wow. I can’t get over your luck in picking a roommate. I got Sidney, but she wasn’t even thinking about me. She was head over heels for you.”, said Dana.
Bette’s smile slowly faded as she remembered the incidents of last fall. “Well Dane, I used to be head over heels for her.”
Dana eyed her curiously.
“What changed?”, she asked.
“Well, nothing really changed. I was always enamored with Tina. Always. I just didn’t know she was available. Sidney was. And Sidney’s a good person. She’s very smart, very pretty, so informed about life and the world. She just.well.she wasn’t Tina. I know it sounds crazy, but I think I loved T from the very first time I saw her.”
Dana smiled. “Yeah? You really think so?”
Bette nodded and met her friend’s soft brown eyes. “Yeah, I do. I feel like I’ve been waiting my whole life for her. Sometimes it feels like I’ve always known her. We just fell in sync so easily, you know?”
“That’s beautiful, Bette.”
“It is. I love my, T. Always have, always will. You’ll find it Dana.”
Dana eyed Bette questioningly. “Will I?”
“I know you will. When you least expect it.”
Dana kicked at the grass underneath her feet and replied, “I hope you’re right.”
“I know I am. And in the meantime, let’s go out to this club you were talking about.”
“What? The Underground?”, asked Dana.
“Yeah, it should be fun. Tina and I can go with you and Alice. I’ll even help start the discussion with Al if you want me to.”
“I just might need that.”, said Dana.
“True. If nothing else, we’ll all get to have a good time. It’s 18 and over, right?”
“Yup. 18 and over.”, Dana repeated.
“So, when do you want to go?”, asked Bette.
“Hmmmm. Tomorrow night? I think Friday is Hip Hop night.”
“Well, Hip Hop night it is.”
Dana smiled. “Hey, you want to grab some dinner before we head to the club? We could all head to Tengu or something in the evening.”
“I don’t know. Tina has that volunteer tutoring program on Friday afternoon. By the time she gets in it’s kind of late. I’ll check with her though. Maybe we can work something out. I’ll let you know.”
“Great. Sounds good. I can’t believe I’m going to my first ***** club.”, said Dana.
“Me either. It should be a night to remember.”
Dana smiled and both women felt the impending excitement of a new experience nipping at their heels; promises of fresh memories and “Remember when?” tales looming on the horizon.

YAY! MTS is back! *does a little happy dance* Great chapter, once again! :)
Glad your back. I always appreciate a story where B&T compliment each other. It just always seems no matter what the obstacles or problems they just always need to end up where they belong, together. I also enjoy that this is them at a younger age, cos you just have to figure that no matter when they met, that spark would always be there. That spark between them, I thinks that’s what always keeps us wanting more.
Nice to see an update MTS.This is one of my favs.I hope they do morph into the women we know on tv but maybe w/o the cheating.Please continue when you can.
Welcome back! I hope life slows down for you. You know how much I love this story. I would enjoy some more Dana and Alice in the story.
It felt like a California drought without your story but now the sun is out again! It’s always wonderful when you post (I do keep a constant eye out for your story!) – so thanks for taking the time to keep this story going. Your writing is flawless and who wouldn’t love what you’ve done with B&T!!!
Excellent! welcome back…luv ur story…psyched to read the update…Post Soon!.
Hey MTS! I’ve missed you!! No worries about not having time to write. Shtuff happens. I’m just grateful that you remember us when you have the time! ;) Sweet chapter. I hope Bette’s able to help Dana sort out her feelings. Thanks for exploring their friendship.
Glad to have you back. I’m still here, still enjoying the story. Hope life is treating you well. Can’t wait for your next post.
Perfect as usual! It’s good to see that Dana has Bette to help her through things. The club should be really fun and interesting. Can’t wait for more :)
I love your story have from the word go. I just hope that B&T can survive the test of time
cute. loved Bette & Tina, they seem so solid and going strong.
MTS,
As always you capture a simple event so beautifully.
The graceful and eloquent words that you gave Bette brought out a side not often displayed in the fan fictions; Bette the matchmaker. The whole “We are going to deploy a mission to ascertain the disposition and intent of one Miss Lara Perkins…” is delightfully replaying in my head.
Great to see the nurturing and gentle pushing of Dana towards Alice.
Only your imagination knows where this romance will lead.
Thank you for giving me this magnificent gift and allowing me along on this journey
Please post soon as the week seems to drag after reading a chapter and waiting for the next installment.
Your Loyal Fan.
always a pleasure to see a new chapter posted by you.. ;)Thank you..
Maybe Dana will meet someone and give Alice the kick in the pants she needs.
thank you so much for posting another chapter. i just love this story and find myself constantly wondering where you are gonna take our girls next. keep up the good work! And post soon…
I’m glad I checked this site before going home for the day. Now I can dream about this while driving. It’s ok, if you don’t have time to update as often as you would like, but please continue this when ever you can. I love the story and the connection B&T have. Kiitos!
I wonder if they (B&T) end up together in the end. Lots of college romances fade with time as the principals go on with their futures. What does the future hold for B&T? Everything you’ve written seems to imply that they go on together, into the future life that we know as theirs in WeHo.
I was just speculating, overlaying this story with the template of real life. What if this was a college romance and they ended up with other people? What if this story was the flashback of a middle-aged B or T, recalling fond memories?
Yes, it’s gloomy here today. There’s no sun. Forget everything I posted above. Carry on!
Thanks!
I am avid reader (albeit infrequent commenter) of your story. I especially love the relationshipe between B&T that you have created. That absolute trust in someone and openness to someone happens only when one is young. The heart gets a bit wary after that. You capture that young intense innocnet passionate love so well. Thanks.
what a great chappy. just so informative but easy on the mind. makes you have to happy feelings all over. sure have been missed mts. so glad you remembered your faithful readers. cant wait for another one. like techie said what does the future hold for them. but hell its bette and tina right? thanks.
Yeah, she’s back! Great update!
as long as you write I read it and I’m happy. I can be patient when it’s necessary *wink* Nice flashback to B&T beginning. Take care!
