Walking After You ch. 14
Bette bit her lip as she looked at Tina, who had resumed her intent perusal of the mystery fruit hidden in the large branches of the tree.
"Well, I’ve been called crazy too many times for lots of different reasons. I think making you smile like that would be a perfectly good reason for a little tomfoolery." Bette mumbled into Tina’s ear, then gave the ear a slight nip.
Tina laughed and swatted Bette’s arm. "I’m kidding! I don’t want you up that tree. It’s really high."
Bette wriggled her eyebrows. "I can make it."
"Noooo."
"Yessss."
"Bette, I’ll just go see if the apple’s ready, okay? No tree-climbing for you. You’re not limber enough."
"Get the ladder. I was plenty limber this morning. How hard could it be?" Bette kept smiling as she looked up at the sturdy branches. "Oh, and that apple’s never going to recapture its previous youthful lusciousness, baby so you better be hankering for some unidentified potentially poisonous fruit!" She called to Tina’s back as the latter rushed to the garage to retrieve their ladder.
*****
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?!" Shane lost her usual composure when she saw Bette bandaged up and laying on the couch, moaning faintly.
"Shush, keep it down! I just got her to lie down!" Tina whispered as she led Shane, Alice and Dana into the kitchen.
"How was she standing up?!" Alice muttered, her eyes widening when she saw the girth of the bandages on Bette’s head, her arm, and her leg.
Dana made a face as she dug into her purse. She brandished the card she’d fished out. "Here. That kind of injury would need physical rehabilitation. This guy’s pretty good. He treated me when I was out with an ankle sprain that last time, remember?"
"Who, that scruffy guy? Angus? Kit still has you on her shit list for that guy, remember?"
"Hey, he thought she had a bad ankle!"
"Oh, is that why he tried to pronate her boobs?!"
"Hush up guys. Bette needs to rest."
"Again, back to my question. What happened?"
Tina sighed and leaned back against the kitchen counter. She nudged a plate full of red mushy stuff that made everyone wince. "She fell off a tree."

pity their morning whimsy turned physically injurious – otoh, bette rendered immobile bodes well for talking :-) the love is clearly there – they don’t have any problems some real communication cant fix – & a scare like this throws priorities into relief real quick. unexpected twist & great chappy, thanks 7pm
Poor Bette and hope she will fully recover soon. Please post more, thanks!
Wow, Bette really got messed up falling out of that tree. I hope she recovers quickly. Tina is being so sweet taking care of her…
Oh Dear! What pain! Thank you for this story.
Poor girls and Tina is feeling really guilty for her involvement in the accident. Now she will do any and everything to help her love recover. Thanks.
7, I know the injury is not funny, but just picturing Bette climbing the ladder is. Those are some NASTY injuries. Bette will recover fully. Tina will eventually get over the guilt, and Bette will blame herself (as usual) for even thinking about climbing that ladder. Bette realized in earlier chapters that she has no doubt that she loves Tina; now Tina knows that she still loves Bette. They still need to talk, but I think that after what has happened to Bette, it will be easy for them to put everything on the table. I just hope that Bette tells Tina that she has been seeking professional for her problems. Fantastic update. PPS
ouch… my knee hurts just reading bette hurt hers… now we will see nurse tina.. pps
Great update! Even though they didn’t get to have the talk, I think Bette’s injuries finally opened Tina’s eyes and will be the catalyst for opening up their dialogue. PPS
i wish they would talk but this chapter was worth the wait for that talk…first part was very entertaining just imagining bette climbing that ladder…and since she’s going to fully recover, i’m okay with the second part…let nurse tina do the rest :) pps
HEY 7pm, That was so amazing. The playfullness between Bette and Tina as they hunt for food. The worry, concern and guilt that Tina was feeling after the accident wsa completely believable. Good to have the gang come rushing to the gals and trying to make Tina feel better.Then Bette and Tina snuggle up to each other was so sweet. They just fit together.Can’t wait to read more of Bette’s recovery.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
awww poor bette. But yes, injury does bring friends and even couples closer together. Good post. Another soon Please :P
