“I want to go to sleep with her every night, and wake up with her every morning. I want to raise children with her. I want to grow old with her.”
“Oh, God,” Val noted sadly. She had given up trying to convince Tina that this relationship was wrong for her. Tina was so clearly in love and although Val was very cynical, she still hoped for the best.
“I love her and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.”
Val leaned back in the chair in Tina’s living room. Both were thinking that Bette didn’t do committed relationships. Bette didn’t do love. But Tina knew she loved Bette and was going to try to sustain this relationship as long as possible.
If Bette had never been in love before, neither had Tina. And she had a suspicion that she might never be in love againnot like this. While she could have Bette, she was going to experience this feeling as long as possible. Of course, a small part of her hopedhoped that Bette might fall in love with her. But the word “love” never passed Bette’s lips. Nor had Bette ever written the word “love” in any of the notes she had sent, or cards she had included with flowers and other gifts.
Tina didn’t need anyone to define love for her. She didn’t try to break it down, like a dictionary did, but she knew what it was. She knew it the moment Bette had touched her hand.
She wanted to tell Bette that she loved her. Each day she wanted to say ‘I love you’— early and often. But she knew that in this case it could be dangerous. Tina understood how it was when someone said they loved you and you didn’t return that love. You felt annoyed and guilty. And she didn’t want Bette to feel like that
But she wanted to tell her. At least once. As soon as she worked up the nerve. She wanted Bette to know.
And Tina worked up the nerve one morning when she and Bette were finishing breakfast. Tina took a deep breath and began, “I need to talk to you about something.”
Bette looked at her. It always made her a little nervous when someone said, “I want to talk to you,” because they were usually going to say something you didn’t like.

Does Alice know Bette or what. This was a great update, and Tina was right in telling Bette how she really feels. They been patient enough so far, whats a bit more. Its been a big step for both of them. Was so starting to think Tina was gonna start giving some of those women a piece of her mind. Great update and can’t wait for more.
I love your writing style it’s so romantic, especially the way you drift into B&T’s stream of consciousness… Looking anxiosly forward to the next chappy…
Ugh Bette.Bette.Bette!!!!! Wake up lady someone should hit on Tina. See how she feels with that….Like love needs to jump up and bite her in the ass….OMG Great, fun loving story pancha…
first of all piranha???…lmao..priceless…for those who dosent know piranha means slut..lol..pancha who is teaching you those bad words?..lol..brb
LOL to your author’s comment that ‘Bette’s kinda dense’ ;-)
Wow, you remind me of my ex-bf. When he said ‘I love you’. I always answered ‘Me too’, avoiding saying ‘I love you’. It really sucks. =(
Tina,you go gal! it’s cool Tina share her feelings with Bette. Hmm..Bette need some soul-searchin of herself. She’s right in front of you,Bette. Open your heart!!
worse than say nothing is when the asnwer to i love you is “thank you”..lol..you know Tina is very patient to Bette but Bette need to do something and think about Tinas feelings too cuz Tina is going to start think if she is wasting her time with a none future relationship…Tina is one of those “family person” and she wants that with dumb Bette..lol..ok another great chapter psot soon thanks a lot :o)
I wanted to let you know that I have been reading your story from the beginning and I enjoy it a lot. Please continue with the excellence. Kiitos!
COOP – NANC – hey girls. love following ya around the board. such insight, such wit such intelligence. was i just describing myself. ahahahahaha. ;)
pancha – loving this story. keep it coming. and bette, dense, never heard of such a thing.
I love this story and the different approach to the B&T relationship. Here for a change we see Tina reeling in Bette, inch by inch. Yes, me thinks that the player is about to be played out. Tina is going to turn this Dog into a puppy, or should I say her puppy dog–he he. Slowly but surely Bett’s playing days are over. Instead of playing the field, she will be now playing in her play pin and happily so. Let Shane have a go at the field. Good stuff, please continue.
The first step is when Bette buys a larger bed. She doe have grocery in the kitchen, Then she will start seeing Tina more often. then comes the U-Haul but Bette will need to ask, Tina has made herself clear. thanks
Is it wrong to think that Alice was wrong by telling Tina that Bette was in love with her? what if Bette found out that she wasn’t IN love with Tina and that she only loved her..
It will be harder on Tina to get over Bette if any thing bad happened between them, esp after Alice getting Tina’s hopes up..
Well i don’t always comment but i always look forward to new chapters, love this story.. ;)
I agree with slipperynipple,someone should hit on Tina that might open up Bette’s eyes. Loving this story and thanks for the great chapter.
Wow, I don’t know how Tina can put up with Bette’s reticence. How much can she endure before she thinks ‘I need someone who can love me back’ (since she doesn’t know what Bette feels). I can’t wait to see where you take us. Great story!
Really enjoying your fic please post again soon!!!!
I read all your chapters in one sitting. If only TLW’s writing staff can come up with something half this good…if only… * sigh*
Will you marry me?
Good chapter. This is a little hard for them and hope time will help Bette to say “I love you” back to Tina and tell her how her feeling for her. Ok post soon please, thanks!
A freakin’ Yale graduate and can’t see she is in love. Oh..and some of those women approaching Bette should have gotten an ass whoopin’
was this the way bette felt when she first met tina even though she was with eric.bette is still in denial with her fellings for tina.
those feelings they can fuck you up.
