Bed of Lies – Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Thursday morning
Tina woke earlier than usual, showered and got dressed, leaving a note for Eric before leaving for the Planet. She had an early morning meeting scheduled but had already called ahead to excuse herself, citing an emergency. She was now not due in until noon.
Family night had been a long one last night. After Bette delivered the news about her father, everyone had gone into crisis and comfort mode; alternating between giving Bette her space and showering her with consolation. The brunette was not really in the mood to talk; she had given the bare details and then stopped responding. Tina could see fear in Bette’s eyes. And all she wanted to do was take it away from her.
The pizzas were barely touched, and they returned to the beer and wine to take the edge off. Bette had insisted she was fine and that everyone go home; eventually, after agreeing to an early breakfast at the Planet in the morning, Shane, Dana and Tina had complied, but Bette’s stubbornness was no match for Alice, who crawled into bed and held the sobbing brunette for the entire night.
Tina pulled up at the Planet and threw the gear stick into park, she turned at the sound of a motorcycle revving and watched as Bette sped down the road with Alice sitting behind her, eyes shut tight, gripping Bette forcefully.
Tina’s body began its unwelcome, yet now familiar, reaction to seeing the brunette. Her pulse raced, she felt the butterflies float and cartwheel in her stomach and the beginnings of a dull ache between her legs. She knew Bette had a motorbike, had seen it parked in her driveway, had seen her carry her helmet… but she had never seen her on it. She was wearing her usual: tight jeans, boots, tight black tank top, worn leather jacket. And she was straddling a bike.
The ache grew and Tina felt her mouth go dry. She watched as Bette unclasped Alice’s hands and helped her off the bike before she got down herself. She watched as the helmet was removed and her glorious hair was set free. She watched as the jacket came off and those powerful arms came into view. She watched and she knew she was falling. She hoped she would be able to get back up.

Tina needs to decide what she wants. I am hoping that Eric is about to get the goodbye talk.

Lordy, Lordy, sweet Lord. What a sight! “She knew Bette had a motorbike, had seen it parked in her driveway, had seen her carry her helmet… but she had never seen her on it. She was wearing her usual: tight jeans, boots, tight black tank top, worn leather jacket. And she was straddling a bike. ” I can just picture JB in this scene. What a way to make an entrance. It would be just perfect. Although, the darkroom scene wasn’t too shabby either. ;-) Tina’s got to be prepared to play w/the big girls now. PPS.
I don’t think Tina is sorry in regards to Eric or Melvin, I think she’s sorry that at this moment as much as she’d like to, the kiss is not going to happen. Though if that was me, after all that in the dark room with Bette, I don’t know that I could stop. Damn that was good. Looking forward to the next update.
Well, well, isn’t it a new kind of forplay here, pressing “bodies, arms and fingers” together in the pretty intimate and cut-off-from-the-outside-world dark room ! I simply love it (… and totally share Tina’s emotions and breath’s trouble ! *sighs*) The same way I adore the way that my beloved two develop both a film and a relationship, right ? (*wink & grin*) Sensitive and sweet, realistic, full of sparks and growing emotional – and physical – tension : that’s what I call an endearing story – a fovorite of mine from the very beginning. Thank you so much for sharing, TP, it’s a true pleasure to be your reader – your faithful and delighted reader. More, please ! (*puppy eyes added to my best smile !* ) ^_^ – A.
I am really enjoying your story, it does seem a bit more based in reality than the show. I especially like how you are building and showing the connection between Bette and Tina whilst everyone else is oblivious. However, I believe you having taken the course..How To Get lurkers Out of The Shadows By Adding Mean and Spiteful Cliffies….and you must have gotten an A, ’cause it worked on me. Please up date soon.
sorry for what Tina???? Very intense…can u post soon plz.
I think Tina’s sorry because she won’t be able to go farther than their first kiss – at least not until she clears things up with Eric. How could Tina resist kissing Bette? Those beautiful lips, the warmth of her breath, the darkness of the room…Ohhhhh – no one could resist all of that and be human! This is sooo darn good TBP. You’re killing me with these cliffhangers though… couldn’t they have kissed at least one time before Tina became remorseful??? More – Soon — PLEASE.
