The Set Up (3)
“Hello, Bette Porter.”
“Hi Bette Porter,” Tina smiled, rubbing at the back of her neck. Even over the phone – and knowing the circumstances – she couldn’t help but flirt with the brunette.
“You’re teasing me? … Okay,” Bette smirked, leaning back in her chair. “I think I like that.”
Tina chuckled, but then her tone became entirely serious. “I didn’t … I mean, I called to … talk to you for a minute.”
“Is everything okay?”
“Yeah. Yeah, of course it is … this is gonna be hard to say.”
Bette’s lips parted, and she closed her eyes, wanting another chance. Please don’t call this off. Don’t break up with me … please. You’ve just given me hope. Don’t take it away …
“I just … I feel like … like-I-could-never-have-caught-your-eye-by-myself.”
Bette let out a breath, holding her laughter inside. “What?”
“God, this is so embarrassing!” Tina groaned, dropping her head into her free hand as she held the phone closely to her ear. “I just feel so … undesirable for … I don’t know, for needing my daughter’s help or something!”
“Well,” Bette started, clearing her throat. “You didn’t need anyone’s assistance to ‘catch my eye,’ as you put it. I can assure you that.”
“Bette-”
“Oh no you don’t. Don’t use that tone of voice with me.”
Tina smiled intimately, stroking the back of the phone. “But it’s my Mom voice.”
Bette smiled back in her own way, crossing her arms onto her desk. “I know. And … I like it, but … I just want you to know that when I look at you … you’re all I see. There’s no one or thing that’s made me see you that way. Does that make sense?”
Tina sighed. “I don’t know what’s made me so insecure.”
Bette was completely taken aback by such honesty, but it was endearing. She leaned into the phone on her shoulder, just listening.
“I’m sorry. I just can’t help but feel that way – even knowing that this was all a surprise to me. It still bothers me that you didn’t just … see me. Just because I was there, and not because it was made to be that way.”
“Tina … my feelings for you weren’t set up for us. I feel that way because of you. Do you … feel obligated?”

Amazing as always.Thank you.PPS
Very nice, I think Tina should go for it and take things a day at a time with Angie. Maybe she and Bette can do some things that include Angie so Tina can see how they interact together. PPS

Great update. Angelica is quite a girl, so mature for her young years. Hope Tina gives Bette a chance, seems they really need one another. Also hope that they can be exactly what the other needs and then some. Thanks for posting.
I absolutely love this story. It feels very real, the way they both are handling things. PPS !!
Great story!! I love the teasing; you write it soo well, too… ;)
😉 hey GR. I really love Bette’s character. She knows that this relationship is different and it frightens her, but she never backs down. Tina is just as frightened but I think her insecurity about her whole situation, combined with how hot Bette is adds to that anxiety. I wasn’t surprised that was tina was the first one to try to back out. I’m happy that Bette fought back. I really like Bette’s confidence. Thanks GR 😘
