Sun Salutations: Chapter 13
Previously:
When Bette could see the exhibit floor, she walked faster and gathered Tina’s mat, bag and bottled water. She returned to the hurt woman – and the woman who hurt her – to find Carmen crying.
“Carmen, I sincerely hope things work out for you but like I told you on the phone, there’s no need for us to maintain contact. Take care.” she said cheerfully as she grabbed Bette’s strong but delicate hand, brought it up to her lips and kissed it.
13. The Cosmic Brilliance: Part Two
More than words.
Bette agreed to attend Tina’s sunrise yoga session at 6am the next morning. Why she complied to participate in something that required movement at such an ungodly hour she would never know. It must be love. Tina left the hotel at 5am to get to the Expo early to prepare for her class. Bette struggled to wake up at 5:30 and as soon as the alarm sounded, the hotel phone rang. “Wake up beautiful! Time to salute the sun baby. Up and at ‘em!” “Okay T”, Bette sleepily replied and fell back on the bed.
From the looks of the amount of activity at the
“Funny to see you here so early in the morning, Bette.”
“Yeah, I know. I never cease to amaze myself”, Bette said laughing. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two. Bette was so not in the mood for arguing so she decided to take the nice route. “So, what class are you attending Hel?” “Boot Camp.”
“Sun Salutations.” “I see. Well, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.”

GT loving it. Sadly my computer got infected Saturday night so I had to wait til I got to work on Monday to read. Hopefull my PC should be up and running before the week’s out…those bloody virus thingies!
Can’t get the image of the scorpion and the butterfly out of my head. Beautiful symbology!
Are you sure Tina was really touching her head with her feet? She might have been just shading close to it.
From the net: “Death by scorpion sting, if it occurs, is the result of heart or respiratory failure some hours after the incident.”
I want to trust her, but I’m leery…
Wow, its like the only thing I can really think of right now. This whole story is always kind of right on the edge and sometimes it spills over and sometimes we are so hanging. Its nice to see Helena not quite being the bitch that she is, maybe she’ll come around, cos they were friends like no ones ever fallen in love with a friend and not had it go any farther.Bummer. Love how B&T are talking to each other along with the other stuff that were definitly loving. No one was tired and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, damn thats restraint. Carmen, well you did know the score going in, so tah tah. And I don’t think Tina is playing with Bette, its probably why she’s so jealous and actually insecure for the first time, it is all new to her. Can’t wait for your next update.
Wow this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awww, so sweet! That was a lovely, mushy chapter. -sniffle-
I also loved the cynical humor earlier in the chapter…
“Unlike Bette, she hadn’t been exposed to the bitch lite version of Helena. She was only familiar with the potent, maximum strength bitch.” heehee…Maximum Strength Bitch! Now in cherry flavor!
Your balance between silly and sincere is perfect. Keep it up!
Simply amazing greentea!..you have such a beautiful flow and ease to your writing..i am blown away..i truely love this story but its too good to be true, right? cause “To fly, we have to have resistance.”(Maya Lin) Looking forward to reading your vision of this B+T.
pass the tissues :P Thank you for all of your lessons, they come through clearly in every chapter. Today I saw a billboard advertising the GreenTea Frapp..guess I’ll have to try one very soon. I hope I don’t get a brain freeze as I suck it down. I’ll try to drink it slowly. Thank you for your comments, have a beautiful week….
From your notes: ” Carmen better watch out at her next training session w/Bette. Bette just may stack too many weights for her to lift!”
Or forget to spot her…(Mark Frechette)
Back to the story…
i really dont no wat this story does to me bette and tina are so effing cute and im still speechless but i do have one thing to say yay no more helena
:D another b&t piece of magic. kinda mushy , and yet…not. what else is great? the l word starts in new zealand next monday! i cant tell u how cool it is to be able to see the show 4 real! soz jst thought id tell u that :P keep up the good work!
The thing about Tina is that she is strong enough and beguiling enough and intoxicating enough to fuck with your mind and your body, at the same time. Is that love?
“I don’t think I like this…”
” Does your process of figuring this out involve seeing other people? Because if you’re going to make amends with Helena & run to her the next time we have an argument, misunderstanding or whatever, then I think we need to cut our losses now.”
The first step in possessing a person (Bette) is to isolate them from the ones they love (Helena). Something about this affair makes me want to scream the ‘C’ word:
CCCUUULLLTTT!!!!!!!!!
I think Tina is practicing the ‘cobra’ pose on Bette – “The yogi, by hypno tizing her partner, attempts to render the partner defenseless to her charms. Thus she seeks to inculcate deep dependence in her partner, for dependence leads to slavish devotion to the Sun Goddess.”
Slow your roll, Bette! Slow. Your. Roll.
Well well,…. that was all encompassing. So much thought is channelled through your words. Scorpio is of course the greatest star sign too, no bias form my part I assure you ….lol. (I saw many in South Africa recently, their mating ritual is fascinating, totally unique, a dance really.) Incredible focus, great skill, you are a tour de force. Thank you.
Start writng stuff for publication that can get you the recognition you deserve – I love your fan story, but you have a lot more to give the world. I’m a harsh critic of writing, I guess it’s the university lecturer in me, but greentree don’t give up writing your dreams in the real world – you’ve got it kid – sometimes it just takes time for others to recognize our gifts. Cheers love from an Aussie fan.
You almost gave me tears in my eyes…that was so beautiful greenie. Thanks for posting it…maybe I should try some green tea because I have the flu and don´t really fell up to speed..but hey you made me smile yet againg…and yes maybe some first aid would help me out ok, sorry..couldn´t help myself. Post soon

I just absolutely love this story! I hope it goes on for a long time. Thanks, Green!
i luv this story, your writing is great, however my one and only complaint is tina seems so mean, i really am having a hard time completely accepting her. but great writing keep up the great work!!!!!!
Greentea that was beautiful the picture frame was a very nice touch.
Thank you.
GT, what a beautiful chapter…again. It’s been eons since I’ve been to the tea gardens…you forget what’s in your own backyard sometimes. I’ve been absent on vacation, but got caught up on your story tonight. Thanks for sharing your wonderful imagination with us.
that was so sweet. I love this B and T. you have managed to make me feel something I never thought possible. I actually felt bad for Hel. too bad. but like Tina said, she was the one who lived with Bette for 2 years and never made a move. I hope B and t continue talking to one another. they are so much better when they are not jumping to conclusions…..but something tells me there will be some drama.
Excellent chapter i just love this story hope to hear from you soon !!!!!
I love this story. Please continue.
sweetie, that was beautiful. im floating. im estatic. im … i dont know what. but im it. your writing leaves me wanting more. the details, the dialogue was so spot on. girl, you did yourself proud. and made me very happy. are you listenin, now.
Tks for the update, I look forward to your regular posts, Being that it’s still summer, everyone is not back and posting as usual…Thank goodness we have your story I really love it….Just waiting for Tina’s psycho twin to blow a nut so to speak!! It could happen…heheheh
Thank you green for sharing your story, I am glad that Helena is respectful of Bette’s decision, especially since Carmen hasn’t respected Tina’s. They don’t need 2 crazies stalking them.
I am very please that B & T were able to talk and share and be open with each other. I so enjoy the maturity and playfulness of this B & T.
Great chapter! Simply beautiful! I Love it. It’s very touching and tender. I applaud you!
Nice Maturity on all people involed execept carmen !!!!!
Ok, I know what question prompted this in your author’s note:
Sunshine and rainbows, whatever you dream, Ice cream and candy or so it would seem.
The sweetest treat imaginable is what I hold; in the very depths of me …or so I’ve been told.
Ok, here is comes….YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! (as I shiver me timbers)!!
GT, your reply was (Tina voice) “simply amazing…”
Ok, now the story…
Bette pursed her lips and looked at Tina blankly in return. She didn’t need her jealousy right……COME on Tina, get a grip and chill. Who the fuck wants to deal with jealousy at 6 a.m.? I dont blame Bette for only giving her a head nod; its more than she would have gotten from me.
2 versions of bitch….lite and maximum strength…..LMAO as I reach for Trolle’s life saving devices….(gim’me that heart monitor)
never thought I’d say the L word….I love how you threw this in here. And without these symbols…do you dare…LOL © ® ™ …..we all know what belongs to Showtime and IC.
I’m a newbie when it comes to women but I’m becoming seasoned when it comes to pleasing you…..LOOKING through my fuckodex for a virgin who can say this to me….schmokin’
I’m NOT feeling Tina wanting Helena OUT of Bette’s life. They were friends long before this so I dont think it right nor fair that in order to help Tina’s insecurities, Bette must loose a friend….fuck that
I’m writing the feedback while reading the chapter, so some paragraphs may not be very well linked to one another, sorry for that.
Tina being jealous… well, some peole may not be born “psychotic” but they may have good reasons to become one. for instance, sexy-brunette-blue-eyed-hot-accented-British-woman-who-goes-by-HEL could be a strong reason.
I don’t know why, but I think “daunting” is something very Helena to say =P
Come to think of it, the word doesn’t sound so “daunting” if Rachel Shelley is saying it. Then again, I am a little obesessed with her voice (accent + intonation) so… nevermind.
I like the fact that Helena is making the right move here. Leaving Bette is probably her best choice. First, it will give her time to (hopefully) heal. Second, because of Bette’s reaction. Giving Bette space is a smart move. Thank God this Helena has a brain. But hey, don’t let this paragraph fool you, from my part it’s still a loud and resonating “NOOOO!!!” for the so called HelBette scene =P
My first reaction to Bette’s words regarding her feelings for Tina was: LIAR!!! But then I remembered the Summary and I got confused. I think she believes she feels it, but she’s not ready to jump. Then I thought, are her words worth anything then? And the answer was… I don’t know. I guess so. It has to be worth something, right?
It’s just that when someone says those three words without being completely sure of them it makes them feel so meaningless and empty. Oh well, maybe it’s just me. I don’t know why but I seem to have a problem with those words. They always sound so fake to me that it feels like just by saying it, you’re jinxing the feeling.
I LOVE their honesty. Gosh, if only we could all be that open and honest with… wait, does that even exist? I certainly hope so. Actually, the fact that someone – who isn’t me, of course – imagined that gives me hope that that kind of honesty does exist… somewhere out there.
Then again, it’s amazing how something that seems so perfect could be so flawed… or incomplete, or whatever. I mean, as they keep saying, they’re still not quite “there” yet, but wherever they are they just blow me away with how they’re dealing with it.
Woo hoo, presents!!!
Oh hey, one of my hobbies is photography and I work with Photoshop too so, you know, next time Tina decides to give Bette a little present, just give her my number, will ya? ~.^
I can’t help feeling sorry for Helena. You can tell that she cares a great deal for Bette. It’s sad that their friendship has to end. Tina’s gifts were so beautiful and thoughtful. I love the relationship that you’ve created between them, greentea. Thank you!
