TINA- (She feels taken by surprise but turns to look at Bette…) “I don’t know…no…I don’t think so…I…I guess she was just part of the ‘adventure’ as you call it. I guess she’s just another person. Like that saying, ‘two ships passing in the night’…suddenly there and suddenly gone. Who knows.”
BETTE- “Were you in love with her at one time?” (Bette has no idea why anything let alone this line of question is coming out of her mouth at this point.)
TINA- “I don’t know.”
BETTE- “How did she break your heart?”
TINA- (She looks at Bette, not sure what to say and then looks out to sea…) “I don’t know.” (Bette stops and looks at her and then looks out.) “I felt so strongly, I had all these feelings, I …it was just not right…it wasn’t love, at least…well I don’t know…we didn’t have a relationship like that…”
BETTE- “Like what?”
TINA- “You know…a relationship…”
BETTE- (Her eyebrows come together and she looks at Tina…) “You mean it wasn’t sexual…”
TINA- “No…never…Bette she wasn’t gay…” (She looks at her.)
BETTE- “I’m sorry…sounds rough…but that happens to the best of us…no one’s to blame. I’m sure she was fond of you, even though not how you wanted.”
TINA- “She was…she was very fond of me and she was very dear to me. I never felt like that before…both my heart and my body were just taken with her. It was my first…well…with a woman…only time I…but…”
BETTE- “Oh.” (She’s feeling a heaviness of sorts descend…) “And now you’re not sure…you’re thinking it doesn’t necessarily mean anything about your orientation but somehow, deep down, you’re realizing it does… you’re not so sure that’s the path you want to pursue but you’re wondering if you’re resigned to that particular fate.”
TINA- (She stares at her…and then breaks the momentum a bit…) “Is Alice this probing?”
BETTE- “Much worse.”
TINA- “Ahhh.” (Bette chuckles.) “Good thing you’re breaking me in then because if I was exposed to a more incisive discourse I think I’d run back to my beloved!”
BETTE- “So far so good…Lady Liberty will have to wait a while…” (Tina looks at her and Bette smiles…but Bette wants to run as she feels her chest refill with emotions…) “Besides, what you’re feeling isn’t exactly rare or unique…”

Merl this was an awesome update! Something about this line just popped out from the page —- “Bette, when you are engaged in the search of life you can never be lost…you seek and you will find…your heart, your soul, your life. When you’ve stopped looking, when you sit there and move nowhere, when you look around and just let life find you…then, you are lost…” I think if there is one small little “life lesson” if you will, it is just a profound piece right there. Thank you for that lovely shout out. I am very much aware at how meaningful the personal shout outs and opening author’s notes are to the readers. I’ll warn ya though, once you start them, they come to be expected!!!! LOL! Thanks so much for the update Merl, post soon won’t you??? ;-))
Ah crap, I hate when that happens. That “I love you, you like me” thing. But it probably is more rare that the feeling is mutual. It take it that with B & T they will eventually discover the feeling IS mutual.
love the dialog but what “recalcitrant” means? i was too lazy to check my dictionary…and don’t worry, my next chapter is coming and it’s hot and sexy…i think LOL
“Man I hope you’re straight…a quick though painful end for my heart to bear…” – number of times I’ve felt this = countless!thanks for the quick update!
Absolutely love this story. I liked shane being protective of Justine and asserting herself when she corrected the pronunciation of her name, loved it. and, well, your slow dance with B & T is enthralling. you could feel Tina just tripping over every word and Bette having small heart attacks at the thought of what Tina really meant! Please post soon, I’m hooked and I need my fix.
So gooooood to read..>Thank you, very much!
So Bette already knows that feeling of loving someone and they not loving you. So Tina and Bette do share something, the case loving someone who does not love them. I think this time that situation will not be an issue. This story is probably closer to a real life situation than most of the stories. You get the real feeling that they are scared to get to know the other. Tina’s feelings sound so real to me (maybe because I have been there).
THIS IS SO GREAT!
I´m glad Justine has Shane as a friend and that S hopefully looks out for her a bit. I think Tina should go to the gala and maybe B+T will realize that they already found each other, they just don´t know it yet. And don´t worry I will keep on reading, this story is too good to miss.
Merlin if i knew the answer, i would tell you. There’s a reason that your the writer and i’m the reader. Now 4 pages where getting somewhere. That was great as aways. I think tina needs to listen to her gut feeling and not with your head, she knows she likes bette, why not take the chance. Love is a fantastic feeling and let the girls find it the merlin way.Thank you just don’t keep me waiting to long
Hey there, i forgot to mention, i’ll take my hat off to anyone that attempts to write a story and for that i thank you!!!!!!!!! thank you
T, it’s not how many words you use, it how they are conveyed. You my dear do an amazing job and I can’t get enough of this story. Thanks for the update.
