The Roommates – 2nd Dimension: Chapter 61
Previously~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tears rose to Bette’s eyes. She stared at the drawing, seeing the dark strokes of charcoal through a watery haze.
“Sidney….it’s beautiful,” she whispered.
The scene before her was captivating. It was a silhouette of a young woman gazing out at an art exhibit. The young woman stood in the lower right-hand corner, her back facing anyone peering into her world. Long curls cascaded down her back and in her profile a slight smile was visible. Gallery walls, paintings, people, and ambience filled the scene. Beyond the gallery, the Los Angeles skyline glittered in the background. Tall buildings, sidewalks, and a sunset rounded out the sketch’s deep dimensions and as the first tears rolled down her cheeks, Bette saw a small building in the cityscape that caught her eye. It was labeled “Bette’s Gallery” in tiny upward sloping script.
Bette wiped at her tears, her dark eyes studying the masterpiece before her. She knew that the silhouette belonged to her.
“When did you do this?” asked Bette.
Sidney’s voice was soft, her eyes studying Bette’s reaction. “I started it a few weeks after we broke up. I’d done some work with charcoals before – – -,” she began.
Bette looked up and met her eyes. “I remember.”
“And I just needed something to help me through the breakup. So I started to draw. I just finished it about a month or so ago. I was still working on the details.”
Bette knew the scene well. It was their date at The Getty. The date where she and Sidney ran into Tina and Eric.
Chapter 61
Bette wiped at her eyes once more and said, “That was some night, huh?”
Sidney nodded in response. “It sure was. I couldn’t believe they showed up there. But I felt so proud to have you next to me. It was the first time you called me your girlfriend. It was an important night for me. When I thought about you…about us, this image always came to mind.”
Bette’s dark brown eyes continued to study the drawing, noting the shading, the stroke emphasis, noting tiny details that tickled the artistic synapses in her brain. “Looking at this is like looking back in time. It brings out so many emotions for me. But beyond my personal biases…it’s exquisite. Absolutely exquisite.”

I hope no one ever wants to draw me naked and call it art. It would be damn scary.

Gosh!! I am so glad they are still whispering. Was so ready for Bette and Tina to talk, but I definitely enjoyed this chapter between Tina and Courtney’s mother. Loved that Tina finally admitted her true feelings. Looking forward to see how Tina makes it up to Bette! PPS!!!

Seahurst says
Geesh! It’s not like Tina skipped the meeting to go meet friends for drinks, or to go shopping…she is going to try to help a little girl who was sexually molested!! Somehow I think that is more important than being there at the election so she can hold Bette’s hand and tell her how wonderful she is! Thanks for bringing this great story back to us!!

I think Syd is trying to ease her way back into Bette’s life. She is playing the tortured artist while T is wraped up in other things and is neglecting Bette a bit. I hope thier love is strong enough to keep them together.

Hey MTS< WOnderful. Truly heart-warming and heart breaking. The impact of Sidney's insight into Bette and Tina as well as her own memories of her time with Bette showed such depth. There was resilence and sorrow at realizing the opportunity she missed. I can completely understand Bette's desire to destroy these intimate portraits and need to show the world the wonder of Sidney's art. The gals shared a moment; of past and long lost love. Thank you for bringing a tear to my eye. You create the emotional hit of Sidney's sketches with your words. Thank you for sharing them with me. Your Loyal Fan.

hey morethan….. this is one of the first stories i read on this site and you never dissappoint!!! great job and please keep updating. I can’t always comment, because I read at work and I’m always interrupted by silly customers! anywho, I hope Bette isn’t too upset with tina. I understand Tina not wanting to label herself, but she needs to talk to Bette about it, or it will just fester and cause problems down the line. pps
