    After the Kiss: Chapters 1 & 2 A B&T Beginning

    ****************

    Flashback, Bette Porter Gallery, night: Tina and Eric are checking out the paintings when the blonde looks back and sees Bette next to the bar talking to a group of people. She takes a sip of her champagne and looks back at the painting in front of her.

    A brief moment later, she turns back to the bar and hands her flute to her boyfriend.

    Tina – Here … I’m going to get myself something else.

    Eric – I can get it for you.

    Tina – No, I’ll do it! I may go to the restroom as well.

    He takes a sip of champagne and continues to look at the painting.  

    Eric – OK.

    The blonde makes her way to the bar and stands right behind the brunette.

    Bartender – Evening, ma’am! How may I help you?

    Tina – Evening! Umm … a glass of Merlot, please.

    The sound of her voice doesn’t go unnoticed by the brunette, who immediately looks back and turns around.

    Bette – Oh … I’m giving my back to you. I’m so sorry!

    The blonde chuckles.

    Tina – No, it’s OK. I didn’t want to walk in front of you and break up your conversation.

    The gallery owner’s lips curve up in a grin.

    Bette – By all means, you should have.

    ******************

    Tina looks distracted as the movie closing credits scroll down on the TV screen. She finally turns her attention back to the TV.

    Tina – Shit!

    She rewinds her VCR with a chuckle and continues to watch the movie but is soon looking distracted again.

    Eric is an art aficionado, she muses. The paintings were beautiful and she would have paid closer attention but … she always favored conversation in a party. Good conversation. It was nice that she took a break.  

    ****************

    Flashback, Bette Porter Gallery, night:  Bette and Tina are talking, both holding glasses of red wine.

    Tina – And we develop movies and TV series.

    Bette – Quite impressive!

    A waiter approaches them with a tray of hours d’oeuvres.

    Bette – You must try this one.

    They each grab a lobster canape, the blonde closing her eyes and smiling as she savors the taste of the small pastry.

    1. Hi! Good to see you there again!

      May i, may i say your old username – “desert_bloom”, right? I remeber this story, it was great.
      And i ready to read it again.

    2. Hi dbff,

      Glad you are reposting this story!

      I think i read it before a long time ago.

      Always a pleasure to read Tibette stories and i am glad several writers come back to keep this couple alive in Fanfic land!

    3. Nice beginning story. I have read several beginning stories of Tibette but not this one. They all have their individual characteristics and story lines from their meeting at the gallery until they become a couple. Since the bridge from meeting to becoming a couple was never covered in the original series, its wide open for a writers imagination and interpretation. I already like your Tina a lot. Can’t wait to see where you take us on this journey.. Post when you can.

    4. Hi DBFF:

      Excellent story, very good start, I know there are many stories about the earring, but I know that this one because you are writing it, will be different and especial.

      Poor Bette, she feels that she lost her gaydar, but indeed she didn’t, she felt that Tina was “in” and that was true, the situation is that Tina was perhaps too alienated with the straight life that she thinks she is a straight girl and even has a boyfriend, but her attraction for Bette and the feelings she starts developing talk by themselves.

      Now, is Tina who has to find out what or who she really is and what she wants.

      Bette, as usual, is making her life, but I believe she is very impressed by this Tina Kennard.

      Great story, DBFF, please post soon.
