The Slow Burn
Bette: What? It’s the truth. I was lying here, wondering if you were awake, picturing you all cozy in bed with that book you always fall asleep reading.
Tina (playfully dramatic): Are you spying on me? Because that is exactly what I’m doing right now.
Bette (chuckling): I just know you too well.
Tina (smirking): Alright, psychic lady, what book am I reading?
Bette (smugly): Something romantic. Something that makes you swoon but also makes you cry just a little.
Tina (gasping): Okay, that’s actually freaky. You’re right.
Bette (smirking): I always am. Now, tell me… would you like to meet me tomorrow for a perfectly romantic date at our favorite bookshop?
Tina (pretending to consider it): Hmm… will there be coffee?
Bette: Not just buy you a coffee I’ll even let you steal sips from mine.
Tina: Tempting… What else?
Bette: Long walks between bookshelves, whispered poetry, and me staring at you like you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
Tina (blushing, biting her lip): You’re dangerously good at this.
Bette (softly): It’s easy when it’s you.
Tina rolls onto her side, holding the phone closer, letting Bette’s voice wrap around her like a warm embrace.
Bette (dramatic sigh): I don’t think you understand how hard it is to fall asleep when I’m thinking about you. You’ve completely ruined my ability to rest.
Tina (giggling): Oh no, what a tragedy.
Bette (grinning): It really is. I toss, I turn, I sigh dramatically into my pillow. The only cure would be if you were here to cuddle me to sleep.
Tina (teasing): Hmm, sounds like someone is very needy.
Bette (chuckling): I’m only needy for you.
Tina (laughing softly): That was smooth.
Bette (playfully): Oh, I’m just getting started. If you were here, I’d pull you into my arms, trace soft patterns on your back, and whisper sweet things until you fall asleep.
Tina (smiling, eyes fluttering closed): And what kind of sweet things?
Bette (softly, sincerely): Like how breathtaking you are. How I love the way your eyes light up when you talk about something, you’re passionate about. How your laugh is my favorite sound in the world.
Tina (blushing, whispering): Bette…
Bette (smirking): And, of course, I’d remind you multiple times that you drive me completely insane in the best way possible.

One of my favorite lines – “We’d be the dog eared page someone can’t bear to forget. A story that lingers, long after the last word is read. The kind that refuses to fade, because love like this doesn’t belong to time it belongs to forever.” Exactly Bette & Tina.
I’m loving their romantic, sweet interactions. The Slow Burn – I’m here for it. Worried about what Henry will do…
Great story!
Thank you so much
That line is one of my favorites too I really wanted to capture the kind of timeless, unforgettable love Bette and Tina share. I’m so happy you’re enjoying the slow burn and their growing connection. And yes, Henry is definitely the dark cloud looming over their sunshine. Things are about to get even more intense.
Love this story! Can’t wait to read about all the challenges ahead :(
Thank you so much I’m so glad you’re enjoying the story. The road ahead is filled with twists, turns, and tender moments can’t wait to share what’s coming next
Hello, I love this fic. I almost had a heart attack when I read the first chapter, I thought it was going to be a softer beginning. I love their beginning story though. I have a feeling that Henry is going to get aggressive with Tina in an effort to show her they should be together. If not that he will probably try to set Bette up, so Tina thinks she is cheating. I hope she can see through an attempt like that. If he does get aggressive with Tina, I hope Bette catches him in the act and kicks his butt. I am thoroughly enjoying this, please continue.
Thank you so much I know the first chapter came in like a storm definitely not the soft beginning you might’ve expected But I’m so glad you’re loving Bette and Tina’s origin story.
And wow, you’re very on point with your predictions Let’s just say Henry’s not done causing trouble, but Bette’s not backing down either. There are some intense moments ahead, but also a lot of growth,
Thank you again for reading and sharing your thoughts it truly means the world More coming soon.
