To Live Again, To Love Again Chapter 5
Just the touch of her hand earlier tonight made it all come back to her senses. The touch, the feel, the taste of Bette. She longed for it. But had Bette changed, could she risk falling for her again? She couldn’t hurt Sarah like that. She needed answers from Bette. She deserved answers and would settle for nothing less.
Sarah reached for her and Tina settled up against her. She kissed her goodnight. Tina fell asleep dreaming of Bette as she lay beside Sarah.
Bette woke up late on Saturday. She was going to finish some unpacking and do some grocery shopping. She still couldn’t cook, but she wanted to have some things in the house for company that dropped by and she still needed the essentials.
Meanwhile at Tina’s, Sarah was fixing breakfast while Tina was in the shower. Tina came out and sat at the table. Sarah brought over their plates full of waffles and strawberries.
Tina: “Mm this looks good.”
Sarah: “Hope it tastes as good as yours.”
Tina took a bite.
Tina: “It’s delicious.”
They ate in silence and finally Sarah had to ask something.
Sarah: “Tina is there something bothering you?”
Tina: “No, why?”
Sarah: “I’m just sensing that you have something on your mind. I noticed it last night after we left the Planet. And I hate to say thisbut I noticed it when we made love last night.”
Tina stopped eating and looked at Sarah.
Tina: “I’m sorry Sarah; it was more difficult than I thought it would be seeing Bette again. I’m fine now.”
Sarah: “Ok, just was wondering. I know it was tuff seeing her again. But you did great sweetie, you were strong and very poised. I was proud of you.”
Tina came around and hugged Sarah she kissed her neck.
Tina: “Thank you, now lets get dressed I wanted to go to the book store today and then take you to lunch at that new Chinese place you wanted to try.”
Sarah: “That’s sounds great, I’ll go shower.”
Tina: “I’ll clean up the kitchen.”
Tina put the dishes in the dishwasher and headed to the bedroom. She couldn’t believe Sarah had sensed her thinking of Bette. She had thought she had hid it well. She owed Sarah her undivided attention, so today she was going to show her she was still the one in her life.

Fate will get them…right goldfish? Loved it and glad they are going to do this and become friends again
yay!!!!1i loooove updatres speciallt amazin gones like this one!! whoo hoo score on e bete and tin aheeh well please post soon thanx byeness<338975893
Uh oh. I hope that’s not Sarah checking up. Although that would make it easier for Tina to let her go if she becomes the overly possessive clingy girlfriend. I’m so happy Tina sees the change in Bette. Yay for Sunday brunches!
I’m just waiting for those Sunday brunches to turn into romantic dinners, and then inevitabley…breakfast! I love how open Bette is with Tina and how Tina sees the change and likes it–that Porter charm doesn’t ever seem to fade away, does it?! Thanks!!!
Sunday brunches sounds like a plan. Hopefully its not Sarah on the phone, maybe ms. curiostiy, aka Alice. Very good Bette, starting out slowly like friends. Hopefully this will eventually lead to where most of us would like it to go. Bye,bye sarah hello Bette & Tina. We await the next update.
GREAT JOB GOLDFISH..THANKS POST SOON…
I sincerely think the friendship thing would be good for both of them.
I look forward to them re-developing their connection. I hope they don’t rush headlong into romance.
I also think you should do a sex/love scene between Tina and Sarah. Roust out the TiBetters (of which I am one) and elevate their blood pressures. I’m glad you mentioned that they make love. It’s to be expected if they have a viable relationship going and it lends credibility to Sarah and to Tina.
Thanks.
…. ooooo ….. more … please !!! They are so sexy together! But then, the course of true love, never did run smooth ! Great job babe ! : ) more ……. lol .. please ? ….. ; )
just caught up fishy. and am loving this. what is with cell phones. does everyone not know how to turn them off. geez. and being friends is a great start. but we have bette. oh did i mention we have bette. need i say more , lol. TECHIE, hell we need to have a visual. isnt it enough to know, yikes, someone elses hands have been on tinas. heehee. fate.
nice…good start. baby steps!
Feel good chapter. So sweet and hopeful. Well done.
5 STAR PLUS!!! Goldfish, this is wonderful! They are taking their time, and being honest and up front with each other. It’ll only be a matter of a short period, ’til they realize the inevitable. The little nagging along the way, will eventually lead Tina to send a certain missy on her way. Anxiously awaiting this to unfold.
Yippeee! More please.
hopefully this comment brightens your Monday because that is what you have done for mine…this is an awesome story goldfish…so sweet…which makes me wonder if you are as sweet as one of those swedish fish…I do love that orange flavor…is there more space in that goldfish bowl of yours…I would love to see you at work…never seen a fish type before =) while I am lmao, please continue and post soon <
Ha, I love it. These two and their communication. No matter how good it is, if they would just say what they are thinking. They would never have a problem.
Gold…the honesty in Bette’s words was very touching and amazing. Bette is courting Tina all over again…there’s no way they can’t fall in love again. :-) They are both now who they need to be to be together. I bet that’s Sarah calling Tina. Thanks for the update.
What a marvellous chapter, Goldfish !
Well, well, if Sarah really believes Tina was “strong and very poised” facing Bette, such superficial psychology will not be enough to win the fight ! She’d have to see what’s behind her girlfriend’s quiet mask and follow the first idea she had during their deceptive lovemaking… Hmmm, of course one always wants to be blind a bit when reality is too hard to face.
But, god, I would have be much more upset seing the one I love running this way to the “rescue” of her ex ! *wink*
Tina, Tina… You also blind yourself here ! “Today she was going to show her she was still the one in her life” ? Of course our tender blonde had to act this way, being so unable to hurt someone truly loving like Sarah. But it’s hopeless, Ms Kennard, and deep inside of your heart and mind, you perfectly know it !
Yes, she can jump in any shower with Sarah, we all know where go her thoughts from now… Above all when she immediately let the mask fall as soon as Sarah isn’t there anymore ! (“She didn’t need her to see how nervous she was” : you don’t say…)
Anyway, this naïve and a bit desperate reaction is very realistic and you’re depict it with all your usual touch, talented Goldfish.
“Bette I have always liked you. From the first time I saw you I liked you. I would love for us to start over.”
Ah, I adore the way Tina uses this pretty euphemistic “to like” to immediately let the so much righter four-letters l word escape, right after ! SO revealing… That’s lovely !
Bette acts wonderfully here, already showing how she changed on the very best way, sharing her feelings, carefully moving forward one step after the other… I just had a large amused grin on my face hearing her hypocritical “I don’t want to cause any trouble between you” ! (Noooo, of course not, I just want to pack her and send her far across the oceans, as soon as possible !) So cute, our Bette…
The most precious thing, in fact, is that she doesn’t need anything else but to let this so famous Porter charm act ! (The “spell”, as you so rightly wrote !) Well, the way to resist – if you’re anybody else but Sarah ?? No way !
Now, who is on Tina’s phone ? For me, it could pretty be Sarah, worrying about Tina’s brunch… No ?? I wonder !
Unwanted cell phones’ calls are such a blessing for any drama’s cliffhanger, hmm ? *wink*
How I love this kind of story, dear Goldfish, with a slow, sensitive and delicate race, acurately depicting everything, where any simply gesture is meaningful (like Tina putting her hand under Bette’s chin here)… A story to savour – and I’m such an incurable gourmet as a reader !
Thank you SO much for one of my very favorite stories here, currently. You. are. great. I mean it !
frindship is important but it better they not feel so confortable been friends and forget they really LOVE each other and that unpleasant person i mean Sarah have no chance anymore..cant wait for more thanks
Damnit! If that’s Sarah I’m going to be pissed! This is such a good story thus far, I’m truly enjoying where Bette and Tina left off…and where they’ll be going from here.
Please post again soon. Great Job!
This is an AWESOME story. I think T will be handing over her heart again. If all the chapters are as good as these first ones, i’ll keep reading for months. Thanks for taking the time.
see the first thing they should have done was shut off their cell phones… loving this GOLDIE… please continue….
bye bye sarah… bette back in town
Damn that was amazing and beautiufl. Glad they try to become friend first and let see how’s thing go, and Tina can see the change in Bette and she like it. This is gonna be good and let see what’s next, thanks!
