In the small of her heart, Bette knew that giving Tina the real answer to all of the girl’s wonderings would tear them apart. Tina would most likely become surprised and then even more curious, leading her parents to either pick up and move away or punish the poor girl for something she had no way of controlling. So, for once in a very long time, Bette put another person first. She answered to keep this girl around just a little longer, promising to herself that she would tell the girl everything in just a little while. For now, she would postpone that truth.
"I like being alone."
In a way, that was the truth, but it wasn’t the whole truth. Bette felt partly ashamed; having promised herself she would always be honest had anyone asked her respectfully about her life. But she also knew it was the only way to keep the girl around.
"I don’t have school today," Tina said with a smile, obviously proud of her outright lie.
Bette only smiled back, not wishing to call her out on it.
"So, do you need any help working or anything?" The pure sparkle in the girl’s eye confused Bette. The work was hard, rough and dirty – not something for a high school senior. And especially not one with a blouse and skirt, but then again, she reminded herself of prejudices and smiled back kindly.
"You like yard work?"
"Sure," Tina shrugged, having raked the leaves and mowed the lawn at her own house before. She figured she had enough experience. "What are friends for if they don’t help you out, right?"
Now Bette understood where the offer had come from. "You know, you don’t need to pay me back for drivin’ you the other day."
Tina watched as Bette turned into the kitchen to turn the stove on for the kettle. She would need to be alert this morning, and a little coffee would do the job. Maybe one of these days she would invest in a microwave.
"No no, I want to," Tina beamed.
Well, Bette figured, she obviously wasn’t offering on her parent’s account – this was the last thing they would have in mind for their daughter. And that thought alone had her shaking her head. Tina was the sweetest, kindest girl Bette had encountered in what seemed like forever, but maybe there had been a girl so sweet. Maybe a teacher or friend at school she had long forgotten about now. She just looked at Tina and leaned onto the counter, crossing her arms. "You’re up for a bit of manual labour?"

oiujowijfo;iwjf YESSSSS!!! Lol I was hoping for another post tomorrow but my wish came true much earlier! I’m loving this story soo much (I love all your stories I can’t help it). Now about that post you promised us later on tonight…*whistles while running at full speed and looking over shoulder*
I agree,… just love your stories and am soo excited when I see a new post from you. Thanks for another great beginning and another new twist for our girls. Love ya GR!!
totally agree with Bad1
I’m truly loving this story. I love the interaction between Bette and Tina, and can’t wait to see how the story continue.
There are so many things to love about this story I don’t know where to start. So I’ll just end it by saying thank you GR.
lovely, cute, sweet, even funny chapter. I love it, loved Tina and her “hint of a rebellious grin” and Bette thinking she’s in Dreamland. Bette you’re so right at stopping yourself from gazing “with affection” at the “too much young” senior in school, seeing the kind of town you’re living in! Will Bette be able to wait till Tina’s eighteen birthday? GR how far is Tina from her majority? Please tell me it’s not at twenty-one! I’m looking for how Bette will explain her situation and particularly for their interactions. Thanks for your awesome writing of Tibette. Read you very soon.
You got me hooked!! This story’s soo sweet and gentle:) Love how T’s innocent and free and I’m reeeally impressed how you portrait Bette, her adaptation to the new situation, her understanding of consenquences and her way of thinking…How she’s mature, with a lot of harsh life experience.Wonder will you base story on their future interaction, or you’ll get us a glimps of Bette history??Can’t wait for next update.
Just wonderful. Thank you.
Another great story.Thank you.
This is so beautifully written to show how they come to be friends, but we all know that the drama has to be just around the corner and it will be painful, when Tina’s parents find out about her spending time with Bette.
They seem like a real comfort for one another. Hopefully they become friends. Bette seems to really need one in her life. I love your writing. Keep it coming. Thanks.
loving this story, so sweet, as i read it i’m setting it in the 50’s for some reason, maybe it just seems that way in the simplicity of Bettes living, can’t wait to read more, good work GR and sooooo different from what i’ve learned to expect from you…so far anyway ;)
okay three pages was way too short. Love the story keep it coming. Please
I love this story too. PPS!!
I can’t wait to read more of this story. This is another different beginning and I just love it. PPVS
REally enjoying this new story. Hope Tina doesn’t get banished to far flung relatives to keep her away from Bette. Tina seems very much enjoy being with Bette. Lovely. Thanks for posting.
That was great and like it.
