What is love? – Chapter 11
Bette and Tina continued to dance and were watched by many in the club, including Shane. Although Bette had expressed her concern that people would hit on Tina, they left her alone largely because she was with Bette. So it was mostly Bette that they approached and it began to annoy both of them.
All of this activity was watched closely by Red, the bouncer. She knew Bette wasn’t as volatile as she had been when younger, but the situation was worth monitoring. She knew Bette could handle herself with any approaches, but worried that someone might become too persistent with the blond woman. She had the feeling that Bette would throw a serious punch at any woman foolhardy enough to make a pass at the blond in her arms.
“Good to see you, Bette,” the women said with *****-knowing smiles on their faces. Tina wondered if Bette had actually slept with most of these people. It made her hold Bette even more closely.
“Baby,” Bette said, “would you relax your grip on me a little?” Tina had loosened her hold quickly and Bette looked into her eyes.
“Are you all right?” Bette had asked with some concern.
Tina nodded her head affirmatively, but Bette saw her lips tremble and her eyes begin to fill with tears. Bette began to kiss her face and neck and rub her hands up and down Tina’s back.
Tina excused herself to go to the bathroom, alone, to fix her face and Bette walked back toward the table. She hated to let her girlfriend go alone to the bathroom which could be a passion pit in a ***** club, but Tina had insisted.
Tina was washing her face when Alice came up beside her. Alice had seen her reaction to all the women coming up to Bette and saw the uncertainty in Tina’s eyes.
“Hi,” said Alice.
“Oh, hi.”
“I’m going to tell you this quickly because when Porter sees me not at the table, she’s likely to come rushing here.”
Tina looked at her curiously.
“Don’t worry about those people hitting on Bette because she is so not interested. I want you to know that I think Bette’s in love with you.” Tina’s eyes widened in surprise.
“She doesn’t realize it and she keeps denying it, but she’s happy in a way I’ve never seen before. So be patient and.”
Bette burst into the bathroom and then slowed and tried to look casual. Alice spoke to her and left. Bette waited while Tina repaired her face, then kissed her reassuringly and held her briefly. After a few moments she put her arm around Tina and walked her out of the bathroom.
They danced the rest of the evening, slowly, no matter what the music. Ever so often they looked at each other dreamily and kissed lovingly. To almost everyone in the room, they were clearly in love. Except Bette didn’t think she was in love. And Tina didn’t know what Bette was feeling.

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.
