“Tina?” Bette’s voice was thick with unshed tears.
“I’m here baby.” Tina slowly stroked one hand down Bette’s back.
“I had a bad day.”
“Me too.”
“I… I didn’t want to see you…”
“What happened?”
Bette turned her head so that she could meet Tina’s eyes.
“I don’t know.”
Tina continued to run her palm over and over the
soft down of the robe. She didn’t want to jump to conclusions and
experience had taught her that sometimes Bette didn’t really mean what
she said. When Bette remained silent, Tina prompted her, “And now?”
Bette swallowed hard. Her back warmed where Tina’s
hand touched her. Her heart ached where Tina’s guarded look touched
her. It seemed like the dawning evening covered everything in the
periphery with a blanket of insignificance, and all that mattered was
the look that passed between them.
“Now, I want you.”
“How do you want me Bette?” Tina tried to keep her
insecurity from coming out, pretending to make her statement one of
seduction.
“I want you as though I’m the only one who wants you. I want you as though I never wanted anything else.”
“Is that possible?”
“Will you let me show you?”
Tina would never admit to the fear that Bette’s
earlier words had caused her. What did Bette mean, that she didn’t want
to see Tina? What was that all about? And saying that she wished she
didn’t want anything else? What was going on in Bette’s head?
Bette watched Tina’s face closely, not missing the worry and the fear.
“No. Stop it Tina. Don’t think.” Bette jumped into
action. She shifted her position on the bed, turning in Tina’s arms to
that both her hands can reach Tina’s face. “I’m here. I want you.
Please… stop thinking,”
”Can we get up now? I’m really hungry.” Tina smiled to soften the words.
“Uh… okay.”
Both women got up from the bed. Bette fussed over
the ties of her robe and Tina picked up the clothes on the floor and
placed them in the hamper.
“You ready? Alright?” Bette smiled apologetically and held out a hand for Tina to take.
“Alright, Bette. Alright.” Tina sighed and reached out for Bette’s hand.
“I love you.” Bette gently put her free hand on Tina’s shoulder and squeezed the tense muscle.
Tina wouldn’t meet Bette’s eyes, shielding her
partner from the sudden doubts and questions that sprung in her mind.
Bette didn’t seem to notice, or if she did, she pretended not to
notice.
“Do you want to order pizza tonight?”
Tina finally forced a cheerful smile and gave
Bette’s lips a quick peck. “Make that call baby. I think I’ll just take
a quick shower.”
“Okay.” Bette mirrored Tina’s smile, feeling Tina’s hand slip out of hers.
She walked out of the bedroom and picked up the
phone. As she dialled the pizza place’s number, the ominous thought
clanged in her head.
Something’s wrong.

“experience had taught her that sometimes Bette didn’t really mean what she said.” Hmm. They both seem to have trouble with that and it looks like trouble is looming. This is intense even though the dialogue and internal monologues seem to run so smoothly and simply. Can’t wait to see what they’re respect pscyhes are really hiding or really wanting to do. Look forward to the next one. (TMerlin)
no need to apologize, but i hope B&T will talk, don’t let their minds cloud their love for each other…i’m longing for happy B&T
Is Bette bi-polar? I once dated a bi-polar chick and that shit ain’t pleasant.
This is no good, they need to talk and tell each othe fear. Ok post soon please, thanks!
‘She’ll leave you, you know.’ I know from experience that your own mind is very powerful and it’s possible to conjur up insane ideas and think about them so much you begin to believe them. Like smiley said, Candyass really did a number on Bette, and Bette’s mind is still stuck on her. It’s a wonder she even let Tina get that close to her. If she keeps thinking Tina will leave, she will unconsciously (or maybe consciously) do, think, and say things that will eventually drive Tina away. I really think Bette needs to talk to a psychotherapist. This isn’t something drugs will fix, but therapy could help if she can only voice her fears to an unbiased person.
okay I trust where you are going with this. Damn..candyass did a number on Bette’s psyche. Please continue!!!
7Pm I adore this Bette. I know that sounds weird but it’s a cute crazy..if that’s possible. I know her cutness could get them in trouble but it’s a part of her…they’re gonna have to learn to deal
I certainly understand where Lamentamini is coming from, even agree in large part, but sometimes that small voice tells you what is or will be objective fact that you’re not allowing yourself to see otherwise and devoid of the self-fulfilling prophecy thing. At least it has for me. Admire your depiction of the characters’ interior monologues.
ok. now hopefully bette go and join tina in the shower XDD love the chapter.
Beware of those self-fulfilling prophecies, Bette. Excellent, as always, 7 pm.
