There was this time in college when Bette had come to her. She told Kit that she was ***** and wanted her support or, at least, to be assured of her love. But Kit was drunk and had said some very hurtful things to her beautiful little sister. Even though Bette believed she didn’t mean it, she had been wary of talking to Kit about the women in her life. But she needed to talk about Tina.
“I’ve met this woman,” Bette began. “And” Bette stopped.
“And she’s not like anyone you’ve ever met before,” Kit finished for her. Bette looked up at her, surprised and grateful.
“That’s it,” Bette said quietly.
They finished eating, both thinking about what to say next.
Kit was surprised and pleased at the news. Bette kept most people at arm’s length emotionally, even Kit, and Kit knew it. But the Bette she saw tonight looked off balance and Kit thought maybe that was a good sign.
Kit hoped that perhaps this meant that Bette had found someone who would take care of her. Most people would have been surprised by the concept that Bette needed someone like this, but Kit knew she needed emotional understanding. Kit was certainly no prude but was disturbed by Bette’s style of frequently changing bed partners. Sometimes it was like a revolving door.
Over dessert and coffee Bette told Kit all about Tina. Kit noticed a softness and nervousness in Bette’s voice as she talked about this girlfriend.
“Well, what’s the problem?” Kit asked after Bette told about their meeting, their extremely brief courtship and the fact that they were now lovers. Kit had known that Bette was involved with Tina but hadn’t known many details.
Bette: “She’s in love with me.”
Kit: “How do you know?
Bette: “Everybody thinks so.”
Kit: “AhNow you’ve a described a smart, beautiful, warm young woman, successful professionally, who’s in love with you. You’re practically living with her, so what’s the problem.?”
Bette defensively: “We’re not living together. I haven’t asked her to live with me.”
When Kit continued to look at her, Bette continued, “I don’t want to get as involved as she does.”
“Do you love her?”
As Kit watched her sister she began to answer her own question. Bette was struggling to figure out how she felt. Kit could see it in her eyes. She knew it because she had seen Bette struggle with problems since she was a little girl. There was a frustration and anger because her brilliant little sister expected everything to come easily to herand so much did.

Pancha thankyou for this wonderful story. I think all us fans of L Word, will be more interested in fan fiction stories, If spoilers & rumors are true. Enjoy your writing
Kit said something very true when something comes easy not just Bette but most everyone dont give the worth and value and sometimes it need to lose to see how much someone worth and how worng you were and Bette maybe is one of those peoples and Kit said little but said enough about Bette stop playing with Tina if is not what she wants…ok i only ask you a thing dont break Tinas heart..lol..another amazing chapter post soon thanks a lot :o)
exactly strtgirl1. IC is killing her show it seems.
pancha. excellent. poor bette. does she need a lab class in love. she cant give her up, well why would that be??? what a doof. but shes not a yalie for nothing. thanks.
Good chapter. Kit is great, she know how to tell you about your feeling. Now all Bette do is show Tina she love her and ask Tina to move in with her. Ok let see what’s next, thanks!
” And Bette’s experience with her family had taught her that she could really get hurt if she were vulnerable.”
Good observation!
heehee, I hope Bette will try to break up with Tina and then realize she is in love with her already. Haha, shouldn’t affect you. Please go on. =)
Pancha, I love this story. Bette indeed does not recognize love when it is starring her right in the face. That’s what happens when one does not or has not felt that kind of love before.
If I haven’t commented yet, then let me please tell you, that I have been reading every chapter, and am truly enjoying this story. You have captured Bette’s struggle with her feelings, and maded them very real, and honest. Thanks!!
Just caught up with the last few chapters, love this story. Poor Bette,first love and she doesn’t even know it. It’ll come to her, maybe at Milk someone will flirt with Tina and then BAM she’ll get it. Thank God for you guys that write for fan fic, cos without you I don’t know what we’d do, and if S3 turns out to be even 1/2 of the crap we’ve been reading will be tuning in here on Sunday nights instead.
Kit’s words really hit home. Bette is too afraid to admit her own feelings….throw some light to her. Bette need to see what she’s feeling. great one,pancha..great one.
Pancha, this chapter was kind of therapeutic in some ways…you touched on alot of the things that I have struggled with in my own life when it comes to love and life. I hope Bette will be able to recognize that the feelings she has for Tina go deeper than anything she has ever experienced before and she should continue to explore and embrace those feelings. Thanks for this smart and insightful chapter!
very realistic portrayal of Bette’s struggle with the L topic. thanks and am looking forward to more.
Bette needs to go and Class101 in love. If she love Tina tell her if not let her go before Tina get really hurt. thanks
