Wanna Date? Chaper 19
She might be all covered up in her elegant suit and blouse, but Tina had never seen her looking sexier. Maybe it was the power and confidence emanating from her tonight. Definitely an aphrodisiac. She grinned broadly as Bette led her off to the east gallery, coincidentally the exact opposite direction from Helena Peabody.
Bette was much in demand, as usual on a gallery opening night, and despite her desire to have Tina by her side constantly, she found herself trapped with a group of boring but rather wealthy Texan art collectors. Bette remembered Dana’s Digger Barnes comments as they regaled her with stories from the oil business. Exceedingly dull, and she was itching to tell them so, but she was stuck here. Even worse, she had lost sight of Tina some time ago.
Bette surreptitiously glanced around the gallery, hoping to see her, or alternatively, catch sight of Helena so that she knew she was well away from Tina. So far, no joy.
Tina slipped out of the bathroom, smoothing down her dress and not really looking where she was going. There were few people around and consequently no escape when she was finally cornered by Helena.
“Hello Tina,” she drawled. “I was wondering when you might detach yourself from Bette.”
“Helena,” Tina said calmly. She was unsure what the British woman’s mood would be. “How have you been?”
“Oh I’ve been fine darling, the show has been such a hectic time for us all.” Tina seriously doubted Helena had helped out, and wasn’t sure why she was keeping up with charade with her.
“I thought I’d better keep an eye on Bette, you know what she’s like when it comes to contractors.” She smiled nastily.
“Look Helena, I really don’t have time for your snide innuendos and comments.” Tina tried to move past her. “I need to get back.”
Helena’s firm hand on her arm stopped her.
“Tina, when are you going to come to your senses and dump her for good? She’s been ***** around on you again, I saw her.” She said hastily.
Tina looked up at Helena, realizing how desperate she was. She should have felt some doubt about Bette after hearing Helena’s words, but she didn’t. Tina realized that she felt 100% confident about Bette’s fidelity, she trusted her and didn’t imagine for a moment that Helena was telling the truth. It was quite a revelation really. Firstly, the realization that she believed in Bette completely, and secondly that Helena was so spiteful that she would attempt to break them up with such blatant lies.

wonderful chap. Loved it. Can’t wait for more.
IWONDERFUL JOB..I’M SAD IT IS THE END SOON,BUT THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL STORY
simply loving your story, definitely more satisfying than how it unfolded in S2! Please continue to spin your take on bette and tina, hope this continues for many many more chaps….long running series? Thanks!!
S2 began with a Dusty Springfield song, ‘Just a Little Lovin’
I propose another song from that album, in reference to both Bette’s love for Tina, and our unfulfilled hopes for S2:
In The Land of Make Believe
(I wish we could have had your scenario – please indulge me and pardon the length)
In the land of make believe
You’re mine tonight
Although you are far away
In the land of make believe
I’m holding you tight
The silver moon is shining above
And there’s love in your eyes
And I’m kissing you
Like I used to do
Yesterday in paradise
I’ve been living in the land of make believe
Since you’ve been gone
I need you so much
That without your love
I must deceive myself
To go on
Your loving hand caresses my face
We embrace tenderly
Never will we part
Deep down in my heart
You are always here with me
You are always here with me
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
In the land of make believe
Page after page of closure!
You don’t know how satisfying that is!
Or, maybe you do!
This is great. I sure hope Tina says yes to Bette – I mean who could resist her. LOL
OMG…what a wonderful chapter. Tina finally got her closure with Helena. Tina stood up to Helena with strength, dignity, and love. Yes love, not for Helena, but for herself and Bette. Helena was there for Tina at a time she needed someone (although Helena had ulterior motive) — and Tina learned a lot about herself with Helena. Anyway, Tina got her closure and Bette finally found the words to tell Tina her real feelings. Bette not only told and showed Tina how much she loves her and wants her back in her life as her “wife,” but she showed Tina her vulnerability. Bette opened herself up to Tina, she exposed herself in a way that she can be blissfully happy or deeply wounded. Big step — and I think Tina saw that in Bette words in addition to the love. Great chapter…I’m saddened that it coming to an end. Thank you.
“happiness was just a day away” is it just a day away for us too? ;-)
Yes, yes, take her now you sexy beast! (lol)
Great chapter ! And a very nice little cliffhanger now. Common, T, say yes ! ^_^
I am going to be so sad when this ends tomorrow…but please tell is in the author’s notes when your new story will begin…thank you for sharing your talents!!!
