The Performance of a Lifetime – Chapter 9
Even in the most casual of attires there was something commanding about the brunette’s presence and Tina couldn’t help but to feel the attraction. She was beginning to accept that it went further than just skin deep and it scared her.
“Lead the way.” The blonde replied with a wave of her head.
Bette walked inside the dining room holding Tina’s hand. It hadn’t escaped her attention the appreciative way the blonde’s eyes had ran down her body and then back up again. Bette was used to having people look at her. Sometimes it was with contempt, sometimes it was with lust, sometimes it was with envy but one thing was usually true for all of those looks, most of the times they left her unaffected, but not Tina, no.
Bette could use many words to describe the way Tina’s veiled glances made her feel and unaffected was certainly not one of them. When the blonde looked at her, her heart did somersaults and butterflies flew in her stomach but at the same time she felt soothed and safe. In those hazel eyes she was lost and found and that frightened her more than she could remember ever happening before.
They sat down amidst their friends and endured the gentle, good naturedly teasing while they picked at their food, both of them too unsettled to enjoy it.
If five minutes after the end of the meal someone had asked Tina what she had had for lunch she wouldn’t know.
Bette ate slowly, chewing each small bite to complete obliteration until her plate was completely clean.
“I see that most of you have already finished eating and so I’m not interrupting. Not that I would be anyway because unless you are eating through your ears you can eat and listen at the same time. Except for those of you who can’t hear but if that’s the case then you can look at Tom who is signing and once again unless you eat through your eyes you can still eat and watch Tom.”
Janet’s voice came through the speakers more slurred than usual. Tina turned her head to regard the brunette with the microphone. She saw that she looked worn down and that the cheerfulness in her voice seemed to be produced more by alcohol than true happiness. She felt a pang of sadness for the brunette who should be having a great time and instead found herself tangled in a messy love triangle. She noticed that Bette too was watching Janet and frowning deep in thought.

This is a note from a usually very silent reader … I really like your story and can hardly wait for the next chapter. This is refreshing and very well written.
glad to see you post again…i would love to see B&T dance after the concert, especially if it’s anything like the dance of hotness from 512
I am absolutely in love with this story. Can’t wait for more. PPS!
great story..PPS
it really brightens up my day to read this story. i can hardly wait for your next updates. thanks
Wonderful story!!! I feel bad for Janet…hope she finds someone better than Jodi before the “i do’s”
I love your writing and Im in love with this story. please post soon ok? ok
ah, thank you for saving me from an absolutely dreadful day at work…i love B&T beginnings & i especially love this build-up – new love: exciting but crazy, the butterflies to the silly jealousy flare-ups…can’t wait for their talk & i also hope they have a dance during or after the concert; their previous one was a prelude to something like 512, no?! thx & eagerly anticipating the next one!
Dammit – I wish you would post every twelve hours:-)
Oh I’m sure the instructor was good at dancing, but I’m also sure Bette is better at it. ;)
Sabina, This is a great story and great writing! Thanks. I was really looking forward to reading how the story goes and was not disappointed. And I’m looking forward to the next chapter. Keep them coming!
I truly love this story. I’m ready for Bette and Tina to jump each other right now!!! PPS
Forget talking and get to the loving! lol j/k glad these two are staring to really give in to the inevitable, ehich is they belong together:) Feel sorry for Janet but Jodi is getting hers, ha. Love this story and can’t wait for more. PPS
Ok, I’m here putting myself at your mercy, do with me as you please but post soon. I’m not used to begin. So you know!
God, the lover’s quarrel is such a turn on, pps!
WooHoo! those two need to stop fighting it and just go with the flow. Jodi needs to leave Bette the hell alone and pay attention to her soon to be wife before she loses both her ex and her future ex at the same time. She is always such a B***h she makes people fall in love with her and them precedes to walk all over them and treat them like s**t. Jodi deserves everything she gets. PPS
Damn, that was hot. I like that Bette was finally showing that she had some feelings that couldn’t be bottled up. She can’t stand hearing about Tina’s ex-girlfriends.. so maybe she should think of that next time Jodi throws herself at her. That, or the pained look on Janet’s face at her own wedding. Hope she leaves Jodi. Ohh, can’t wait for this “talk.” Are they going to admit to the obvious attraction?
“”I had never tried eating my writing before, it’s very stimulating. I might even write about it.” Bwahahaha! Oh Jenny, you’re too much! Shane was so right – B&T really do need directions. Bette and her green-eyed monster, funny! I wonder if Jodi will try making a move again? Thanks for another fun chapter, Sabina!
god i love this story… now about that edibale paint… alice should have some delivered to bette and tina’s room… just a thought

You do realize that you have me pacing back and forth in front of my computer don’t you? Waiting…waiting…waiting for you to post AGAIN! LOL Adore your Bette and Tina…my heart hurts for Janet…help her, please? Thanks!!
“In the end it was never really much of a choice at all.”I love this line. I love the build-up, the tension, the push-me, pull-me…Phew. It’s warm in here.
awesome update!! i agree with amanda and have some edible paint sent to bette and tina’s room!! :)
Oh, Sabina — you have been killing me with the wait. Holy batman is right! Whew! Is there anything hotter than Bette’s not-so-subtle jealous streak and the passionate kisses that follow? Methinks, NOT! Keep ’em comin’! These chappies are such a treat!
very entertaining as always!
Have I commented on how much I love this story cuz I totally do!
The last two chapter were incredible. I love the unsureness of Bette and Tina. Their heads are saying one thing and their bodies a screaming for release. PPS

I love this story.Thank you and please post more……soon :)
OMG!, we are so gonna get the “Dance of Hotness” between these two. Love it. Thanks
Love how your moving this along. Tina and Bette should so dance together. Jodi is obviously jealous of Tina. I feel bad for Janet I just don’t see this ending up the way she’d hoped.
Love your story. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
You are rockin’ it Sabina! The tension between this two is incredible…
I can’t wait for Bette and Tina to talk, I hope that they will give one another a chance. And dancing will be HOT I am sure. :)
OOh you posted! Again, very nicely done..this building up is rather excruciating…please post soon!
let them DANCE…PPS
If they dance, will it be as steamy as what we saw on television??? OR….steamier? I have a feeling, knowing you it will be the latter. Awesome as usual. Your writing is read with amazing ease, and the emotions you brings out are incredible. I feel like I am in the room with such description. Oh and this sentence was too funny “It’s not my fault they have edible body paint ready to be delivered to the rooms if one requests so.” ROFLMAOO!!! Good stuff! PPS
All I can say is that I hope you post the next chapter really, really soon. Great stuff, sabina. Thanks
this is one of my favorite stories. i’m glad you decided to post a new chapter. i look forward to seeing how these two are going to pan out.
You’ve done it again … prompted another consummate lurker to post a response. I just wanted to tell you that I love this story. I check the site for updates every single day. I just love the romantic comedy genre. Sliding characters we know and love into this type of story, combined with giving us a new twist on a Bette and Tina beginning. It is just plain fun. I just wish I could offer up enough help so that you could post every single day.
WOW that was hot!! thank you thank you thank you….PPS
That was beautiful, thank you, your story is amazing, I can’t get enough, to tell you the truth one chapter is not good enough, you should post two my dear, I feel for Janet she doesn’t deserver this near her wedding date, Jodi is so meant and unfair, what she wants to have all. Your B&T are incredible together. Post soon and have a great day.
