And now that Bette was 2500 miles and 2 time zones away, Tina’s innate need to be someone’s center of attention had begun to unthaw and assert itself.
Feeling anxious and suddenly unsure of herself, Tina sighed deeply and at a red light, sent her girlfriend a text message, asking if Bette had looked at the tickets yet.
And as she drove back to Alphaville with Jeff’s chocolate crème filled chocolate cupcakes nestled snugly in the seat beside her, Tina’s mind had time to drift. She worried about Bette’s short response to last night’s potential “Eric sighting”. Her lover’s words had been short. No where near the pages and pages of animated text she’d sent to Tina the day before.
‘What is she thinking?’ Tina wondered as she drove on.
Valerie gave a soft smile and even though she’d been standing, walking, talking, and commanding for more than 14 hours, her makeup was flawless and her emerald eyes were still twinkling.
“You did an excellent job today, Bette. You should be very proud of yourself.”
A cloak of shyness descended on Bette and she smiled nervously. “Thanks.”
“You’ve passed your first week here and you have outdone my expectations.”
“I have?” asked Bette.
“Yes. I wish I could keep you past the summer. Your mind is sharp and your spirit is strong.”
Bette smiled. “Good training I guess.”
Valerie clasped her manicured hands together. “Well, whatever the reason, you’ve done very well. So here’s the deal….”
At those words, Bette’s weary eyes opened wide.
The crisply attired red-head continued on, “Starting Sunday, your work schedule will be Tuesday through Friday. Hours of 7:30am to 7pm on Tuesday through Thursday, Hours of 7:30am to 9:30pm on Friday. I may call you on some Saturday’s for the evening programs, but for the most part, I want you to take that time and rest and relax.”
“Why the change?” asked Bette.
“You need downtime, Bette. We all do. I was testing you this week. I wanted to see if you could meet my standards and you have. This was your bootcamp week. Now that I know your abilities, I can scale back your hours.”
A wide grin stretched across Bette’s cheeks, “Thank you.”

great to see a post from you. thx
welcome back, you know I am always waiting for your updates… So now we have the Tibette individual temptation. Thats ok, I believe in our favorite couple. It will work itself out!
I’m glad you’re back! And I’m glad you are well. Now, on to the story. I can understand Tina’s reaction to Mark. She may be attracted to him if she is already worried how she would react should they see each other again. I just hope she don’t act on it. Hold in there Tina, Bette is coming home. Thanks for posting. :)
Hope Bette doesn’t run into any surprises when she visits Tina in LA! Glad you’re back, MTS! PPS
Great to see you back! I hope there’s not trouble on the horizon for these two.
I just caught up with this story and I really like it. Just hope these two don’t have nay problems to deal with by being apart and lonely for each other. They really need to see each other very soon. Great chapter. PPS
You posted! Yaaaayyy!!! Wow! We were so happy to see you updating this amazing story, which has always been close to our hearts. Thanks! You can’t imagine how excited we were to find this interesting chapter about our young B&T fav couple! Hmmm However, we see trouble in paradise, as clouds of uncertainty move B&T to turbulent waters. Therefore, we are going to fasten our seatbelts and accept the ride you want to take us along. We know that, deep inside, you are a true TiBetter, like us, and you will always find a way for them to be together. We really missed you! PPS Lucero & Marsha (JC’s Salsa Aunties)
Hope everything is OK with the girls..it is hard on a relationship to be apart. pps
omg i was just wondering the other day if i should be a pest & bother u with a PM. I didn’t & here u r. Thank u!!! Now 2 go read.
Now don’t u go breaking our gyrlz up or keeping them separated by trips to Europe with Sydney or anything neither is secure enuff in the relationship 4 that sort of thing yet. Get Bette on the plane to T for the weekend. That’s the right track. PPS
This is not boding well for Bette and Tina. Usually with these type of situations the romance ends in due time. I sure hope that is not the case for Bette and Tina.
Wow, I just caught up. Love this story, teen love is so passionate and sweet. PPS.
I just read this whole story right from the beginning of roommates through to here in the past couple of days, and i have to say, it’s awesome! i love the way you capture the emotions of two young women so perfectly, and it’s interesting to see how they’re dealing with the hard seperation. i can’t wait for ou to continue!
That was great and hope Bette will flight back to LA to visit Tina!
welcome back…i sincerely hope that B&T will survive anything and will be together soon…when Bette flies to LA, i hope there’s no surprises on Tina’s end
nice update!! nice to see this story is back! :)PPS
I’m really glad you’re back. I have so missed this story. But please no drana coming between Bette and Tina. It’s enough drama in the real world and life.
This is another one of my favorite stories. After all that Bette and Tina has been through to be together it seems like forces out of there control is putting a wedge between them. I can’t wait till they reconnect and remember the love they have can outlast the distance between them. looking forward to the next chapter coming soon hopefully :)
I waited patiently and was rewarded with another chapter. I love this story and look forward to many more chapters a bit more frequently.
Glad your back, i love this story so i hope there are more posts to come soon.Great update PPS thanks
Wow, I’m so glad you resurrected this story, MTS. Imo, this is one of the best long-running B&T fics in this site. And your post fell on my birthday. So thank you for adding a cherry to my already decadent cake. :> But you know what, I second Eddy’s drama fatigue. Yeah, life is hard enough that when I get the chance to pop in here, I can’t help but favor lighthearted, sugar-coated B&T stuff with a semblance of substance. I’m really worried about Tina’s reaction to the attention from men that she’s getting. OMG, please, please, no retreading of S3 storylines. Not to mention Bette’s cloud of doubt, her deep conversation with Sidney and her failure to communicate with Tina. Shit, they are growing as individuals but growing apart. If I’m not mistaken, this is usually the recipe for relationship disaster. And that’s really sad. *sigh* I’m going to read the bunch of sweet chapters you’ve written in the past to drive away the worries in my head. Thank you again for this update, MTS, and please post whenever you can. Cheers! :>
Welcome back!! I was so happy(doing a happy dance) when I saw your post. I love this story so much. I know there will always be drama in life but in our Tibette world, things do work out in favor of our girls. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us, your loyal fans. Post real soon, please.
So glad to see you back MTS! I’ve enjoyed this story and have missed it…Do stay away too long. PPS.
