What is love? – Chapter 11
Tina continued. “I need for you to know how I feel.” She took a deep breath. “I love you and I’m in love with you.” The words tumbled out.
Bette didn’t know whether she liked Tina’s declaration or not. She felt flattered and a little surprised. She knew Tina liked sleeping with her, but ‘love.’ She wouldn’t tell Alice that she was right about Tina, but Alice was right. Alice had said that Tina was in love with her. She had also said that Tina would want a long-term relationship, and that thought made Bette feel a little fear, a little claustrophobia.
After another deep breath, Tina said, “Don’t worry. I know – no white picket fences.” Tina had used the same phrase that Alice had about picket fences.
Bette was still silent; she didn’t know what to say and truthfully she didn’t want to say anything. But she was no longer as frightened. When Tina saw that Bette was not going to comment, she finished, “I justwanted you to know.”
“So, what are we going to do today before we go to Milk?” Tina changed the subject abruptly. They were planning to go to the ***** club tonight to join Bette’s friends and it was something of a command appearance because Alice had insisted on it. Tina was looking forward to meeting these people
Bette was still silent because it was taking a few moments for her mind to switch from “I love you,” to “what are we doing today before we go to Milk?” The conversation had gone from the very dangerous to the safe in a twinkling of an eye and Bette was off-balance.
When Bette still didn’t respond, Tina mentioned that they had talked about going to a special exhibit at the LA County Museum of Art.
“Do you really want to spend a good part of the day with art?” Bette asked, finally recovering enough to speak.
“Sure, but remember that you promised to go to a football game this fall.”
Bette grinned, ‘OK, deal, let’s get dressed. “
——————————————————
They saw a photographic exhibit of American artists of the 1930s. The silver gelatin prints were beautiful and Bette explained the artistic value of some of them to Tina. Art seemed to come alive when Bette talked about it and Tina enjoyed their day.

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.
