Coming up for air – part thirty six
“We’re going in my car, right?” Bette shouted over her shoulder at Tina.
“What’s that?”
“The Saab, Tina… we’re taking my car… to wherever we’re going…” Bette said while trying to close the suitcase on the bed.
Tina came into the bedroom, “Nope, we’re going in my car…. and I’m driving…”
“But Tina… my car is more comfortable….”
“How would you know? You don’t know what you’ve been missing driving that… thing…” Tina said with a playful smile.
“Are you calling my baby “a thing”?…. I have never….” Bette said.
“Look… I know where we’re going. It makes more sense for me to drive… and I want to drive MY car… so there you have it…”
“I’m not sure I like this alpha Tina…” Bette sulked.
“You sure did this morning….” Tina chuckled.
“This morning alpha Tina was nice to me…”
“Well, right now alpha Tina is losing her patience…. now let’s go, babe…”
“I’m coming…”
Tina looked at Bette with mischief in her eyes, “Now where have I heard those words before…? Could it be this morning…?”
Bette laughed, “I have no recollection of saying anything like that this morning….”
“No, you more like screamed it at me….”
“Aren’t you full of yourself today… what’s gotten into you…?” Bette grinned.
“…you got into me…” Tina growled.
“If you keep talking like that we’re not getting out of here till way later… so what will it be…? Should we get out of here or should I throw you down right here…?” Bette said, looking daringly at Tina.
Tina had to take a moment to decide, “we should get going…” she hesitantly said.
“Alright then….” Bette said. She grabbed the suitcase and walked by Tina, stealing a soft kiss on the way.
The Alfa Romeo was more comfortable than Bette cared to admit. Bette relaxed in her seat, reluctantly enjoying Tina taking the wheel. They drove northwest and Bette had an idea about where they were heading.
“Are we going far?” Bette asked when they’d been on the road for an hour.
“No… since we’re only going away for the weekend, I didn’t want us to waste too much time getting us there… we’ll be there in 45 minutes or so… maybe an hour…”
“Oh, T… are we going to Ojai Valley?” Bette asked with exhilaration.
Tina giggled, “yes, honey… we’re going to the Ojai Valley Spa… Do you remember I went there with work a couple of years ago…? It’s so beautiful up there… I’ve wanted to go with you ever since…”
“Mmmm, I remember…. you told me about the view from your room… the mountains… the air…” Bette said. She felt a pang of guilt as she also remembered promising Tina that they would go together. They just never did make the time.
Tina looked at Bette and saw her frown. “It’s okay, Bette… we’re going now, right?”
Bette forced a smile, “yeah, we’re going now…”
“Hey. Cheer up, baby…. That was then, this is now….” Tina said and took Bette’s hand without taking her eyes off the road.
Bette raised their hands to her lips. She placed a lingering kiss on the back of Tina’s hand. “Yes, this is now…. hey, do you think we can go mountain biking?”
Tina smiled, “sure, we can do anything you like…”

I get sooo happy when I see you have posted Love this story PPS
anker….this story is wonderful. I love their dialogue…how they speak to each other. I love their openness. Tina not allowing Bette to push her around and make her subservient. Both clearly expressing their needs. And, of course, their sexiness. It is actually a relationship befitting two grown-ass women. This chapter was perfect. PPS.
Yippee, Bette just ask Tina to marry her and she said yes! I loved this chapter! And honestly, I do like it when Bette gets impaitent, it is so hot!!
It started out with such a sedate pace, what with the Ojai Valley resort and jacuzzis, and I’m thinking, “Sweet! More Hot Alpha Tina! No? Okay…” Then it moved on to a rather serious, grown-up chat with Jeremy about children and houses and things. I can dig that. Jer was right, Bette needs to talk about things and not brood. Then Bette got home, and it was like, Team Drama mounted a serious attack all of a sudden. Cross field pass: Bette is on the offensive, not wanting to make demands, but making them anyway. On to the left wing, past one defender, then two: Bette wants them to live together. Team Sensibility lunges for a tackle: Tina tries to get a word in edgewise. Team Drama skips past another defender, and launches a left-footed volley… Bette wants to be Tina’s wife again. SAVED by Tina, who wants to finally get her say. Parried out, Team Drama picks it up, knocks a pass back, all the while moaning to the officials about handball. Penalty? No… Team Sensibility carelessly gives the ball away with a dreadful backpass: Tina gives the floor over to Bette to let her have her opinion… Team Drama is heading on goal with a full head of steam, dribbles past one, two, oooh, what’s this then? A nutmeg? Bette stops for the shot: Will Tina marry her? Everything stops, the defense is caught ball-watching and Team Sensibility’s goalie drops her hands: Tina says yes. GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAL!! Tina said yes!! And here I thought my Sunday was going to be ruined by that wretchedly dull game I watched earlier. RESULT! Right, I’m done being a goof. That chapter was like, totally and completely excellent, anker. Never saw it coming, but hot damn, it was *ace*. (Wait, that wasn’t for April Fool’s was it? I’m not the poisson d’avril am I? Eh… who cares if I am?) *bouncing* Thanks, anker!
Awww, what a sweet chapter. That’s right Bette, ask and you shall get… :) Thanks for a wonderful chapter, anker!
Great chapter anker. I can understand Bette’s impatience OMG can I, but good things come to those who wait. You wrote Bette perfectly because I can just see her saying all that to Tina almost in one breath. When you voice things you are most afraid of happening you find out that it isn’t as bad as you thought. It is never good to hold things in and I am glad to see Bette let them out to her T. Oh and yes my friend if you don’t post another chapter by Wednesday I better not see one for the next two weeks because I believe you will have someone with you to occupy most of your time. Thanks as always!
that answer deserves a kiss….but the ?? is where??? rmao. so where is the ring B. took me for a loop there with how u brought this up. sitting here wonderin if u’ve posted another chapter yet on this beautiful Sunday evening.
wow!! This ending really made me happy! I was sat here smiling at the screen….looking like a complete loon to my housemate!!!Please post soon!
sweettttttttttttttt the ABS is so proud, longer
Before I forget, Anker, let me mention I was probably too nyquiled out to mention how well written I thought the previous chapter was. You had me totally primed for a luxuriant trip up the gorgeous CA coast. Then the next thing I know, Bette is in her office! Okay, it’s good to keep the readers on their toes! I know I will probably be in the minority, but I’m in favor of looong engagements. However, I would like to see Tina find her way back to her garden, back to the home she shared with Bette. As always, a pleasure to read your posts. Thanks for writing!
First, OF COURSE I’m sulking! And as for the sharing… it was never my strongest suit. Then again, neither was optimism… some things never change. ;) Ok, I’m starting to sound like a terrible person, so I think I better just move onto commenting on the post! :) B&T sharing the same brain wavelength is always so f-ing cute. Thank god I’m not the only lesbian who hates golf! YAY! LOL The ending was… so amazing. I read it at least three times. *Sigh* Just wonderful, anker… perfect.
Did anything actually change? Tina’s still hasn’t actually committed to do anything except see Bette exclusively. She isn’t moving in or starting to look for their place. To me it is a conditional “Yes” without the conditions being spelled out.
This chapter was really sweet…and Bette going right to the proposal… Just one thing, I don’t know if that’s what you’re planning on doing but there are some clues as to B&T having a baby with Jeremy and Charlie or something like that. I might get ahead of myself but I just wanted to say, if that’s what you want to write, I think it wouldn’t work. Bette is too much of a control freak to have to make decisions with more than just Tina. And I don’t know why but the idea seems wrong to me too. I guess I’ll see where you decide to take us, I’ll be there, I really love this story!!
Another great chapter. Looking forward to more.
Alpha Tina…..ROCKS! I love that Tina took charge of planning the weekend, insisted on driving HER car….totally hot. Bette needs Jeremy to confide in. He totally “gets” her and we all need a friend that will listen and will be honest with their opinions.(even if it’s not always what we want to hear, right?) On a completely different note…are you a golfer? You mentioned Bette now wanting to golf with Tina and I started to laugh. I have tried so many time to get into this sport and have failed…miserably. I took lessons, bought the clubs, went to the driving range and NADA! Just can’t wrap my head around the damn game….FRUSTRATING! LOL! **okay my rant is over*** Tina saying “yes” to Bette’s marriage proposal was AWESOME! Now that TIna said “yes” to marriage, can moving in be too far behind? Hmmm…..it remains to be seen or should I say, it remains to be written ? LOL! Ciao.
Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
WOW!!!! That was just so magical and loving!!!!!! Thank you PPS
It’s great to have those grand gesters when it comes to asking someone to marry you but when it is spontaneous and comes from the heart as in the manner that Bette just asked Tina it makes it all worth while. Bette laid out her fears and Tina comforted her and then Bette really said what was in her heart. Both are scared of hurting or getting hurt by the other but love can make it work if they allow the other into their heart.
That was awesome and happy for them!
OMG….didn’t see that one coming LOL, great stuff mate. A little disappointed you skipped almost their whole weekend away, could’ve been fun to read wink :o))….but I know you want to get on with the story and the plans you have made, so it’s alright LOL. Think I lived up to my name…you know ‘the fastest slowpoke’ cos I was reader #838 this morning LOL, but you know I wasn’t home last night, so I read first thing this morning, good enough?? :o)) LOL. Didn’t like this post……….I loved it!!! Can’t all be fuzzy wuzzy, they need to talk serious once in a while too – Bette was so cute, who can say no to her????? I couldn’t!!! Glad Tina couldn’t either, but I think the long engagement is a good idea…..NOW give us that kiss, boy I can’t wait for Wednesday (and I know you can’t either for different reasons LOL) xx
Tina and Bette together – PERFECTLY MARVELOUS!!!Golf and anything even remotely associated with it, NOT MARVELOUS!!!
Hia back at ya….ok you are just a tad cruel…..Ah in the hotel room, then the door bell and the next thing we know, Bette is at her job!!!!Tease! hah you are a flirt and a tease. lmao!!!Anyways Anker awesome chappy.No more holding out…YOU are over due. OH and you better post before Wed or else!!!! PLEASE..You know I luv ya!
so sweet! i love it! i think is time for Tina to start thinking in a home for both of them
