Coming up for air – part twenty four
They had finished dinner. Bette was lounging on the couch while Tina was making coffee. Bette closed her eyes, listening to the sounds around her. She could hear the familiar sound of Tina humming. Soft music was playing in the background, and a clock was ticking somewhere. Bette was hit by an overwhelming sense of need. This was how life was intended to be. Why didn’t she appreciate it more, when this was what her everyday life was like? She desperately needed Tina to fill her up with all these wonderful feelings. When Tina was out of sight, she took all things wonderful with her. Bette remembered her promise of patience, but she wanted Tina back in her home more than ever before. It hadn’t even been two months since she started seeing Tina again, but Bette wondered how long she’d have to wait for Tina to come home.
Bette opened her eyes when she felt Tina sit down at the other end of the couch.
“Are you tired, baby?” she asked, caressing Bette’s leg.
Bette pulled herself up into a sitting position. “No… I was just wallowing in the feeling of being here… with you…” she smiled.
“Yeah? Well, on that note… I have something for you,” Tina said and placed a little box in Bette’s hand.
“What’s this?” Bette said with surprise.
Tina let out a little laugh, “you have to open it to find out, honey.”
Bette opened the box and saw a green velvet ribbon inside. She hooked her finger into the ribbon and lifted it out of the box. From the ribbon hung two keys.
Tina looked at Bette with big eyes in anticipation of her reaction. Bette’s face changed from glee to surprise and then to disappointment. She looked at the keys in her hand, and at that moment she knew Tina wasn’t going to come back home anytime soon. Bette bit into the soft flesh of her lower lip not to cry. She willed herself to control her emotions, but the tears stung in her eyes.
Tina watched Bette’s expressive face change as a range of emotions ran through her. This wasn’t the reaction Tina had expected. She’d hoped for Bette’s joy; she had wanted the keys to be a symbol of her commitment to their renewed relationship. But instead of joy she saw Bette battling her disillusionment and her tears.
“…you don’t want them….” Tina whispered.
“… I’m not sure I want what they represent….” Bette said, still looking down at the keys.

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH That’s what I’ve been waiting for. I love the the slow burn way in which u tell the story and at the same time deal with all the important things like jobs, like futures, like clothes on and off…especially the taking off!!!! and then the climax!!!! aaaaaawwwwwwwwww so sweet….now for the next chapter…yes, like B and T I’m insatiable for more of your story….so in between the important things of your life, more soon pleaszzzzzzzzz
aaahhhhhh yes, the PRIVATE BIKINI-LESS POOL PARTY…I am hanging out for that sweet torture!!!!
Wow Anker I’m with JB, don’t smoke, but considering getting a pack for Alpha Bette!I luv this story. You are very talented. In what what other ways I ask myself?(wink)lol…….You Rock harder!PPS
so glad that Bette stayed…they could never get back together without drama. The end was hot and can’t wait for your next post..
Holy cow, that was amazing….and not just the sex but the whole chapter, really amazing!!!! So great to see another post from you, very fast this story has become one of my favourites :o)) Hope you’ve had a great weekend :o))
I placed all liquid forms of refreshments out of the way. But before that I made sure to hydrated myself. So I was kind of prepared for the chapter. It was still very thrust making and HOT. I could see both sides about the keys issue. Glad that it did not put a stop to the evenging’s extra currcicular activities.
I am so glad you found time to post another chapter, I was realy missing this story…Bette and Tina need to work out a few things but communication is key and of course lots of lovin, lol…Looking forward to more anker.
Thankfully for once Bette did not run. Woman, you gotta give Tina some time, you guys did a really good job on each other, and damn its not like she cut you off or anything. They’ll get there in good time. Now I think I’ll go have that cigarette, but you don’t need one.
Good that they talk and damn they are hot!
Well that was certainly worth the wait. I was happy to see that Bette is really trying to change her old habit of running away from things and stayed to talk to Tina. Your words always have a certain effect on me and I now have to go out, but at least I’ll have a big smile on my face thanks to you. I should have known better, but I just couldn’t not read this chapter before I left. Thanks anker and have a great weekend.
I’m glad Bette didn’t leave without talking to Tina about the meaning behind the apartment keys. ( even though she had to take a blow to the head. Very funny! LOL!) I am a huge Tibette fan and this story always makes me smile. You are most definately doing the right thing keeping them together. On a different note, the smokin’ in the shower thing, not working out so great…probably because I don’t smoke! LOL! But your last chapter was so HOT, that I had to take up the nasty habit just to cool off! LMAO! Okay, I’m ready for the REAL payback in the next chapter. Do I need to get another pack of cigarettes, Anker? PPS.
man u did that on purpose!!!!!!!! had me cussin at the screen.. last page that was hotttttttttttt
I am so glad Bette didn’t walk out that door. They need to break that cycle of miscommunication followed by running away. I think Tina more than made up for the blow to the head wouldn’t you say ladies? I think she will continue to make it up to Bette ALL NIGHT LONG. I love your writing Anker and I am hoping you post again real soon.
Good Lord woman! Tina, Tina, Tina yummy…..
Oh, I’m here for the long haul, anker, for sure. I just sacrifice sleep to write (like I’m doing RIGHT NOW. This is my break). ;) After all, it’s the least I can do to pay you back for your kindness. Oh god, Bette in a convertible…I need a moment. I LOVE Bette’s warm fuzzies at being with Tina again. As for the rest of it, THUD! I’ll BET Tina has skills! One’s that Bette most likely taught her. ;) HOT!
I’m glad Bette didn’t run away. She came to her senses, and hopefully that bump to the head has knocked the rest of the stubbornness out of her. Well, anker, I find I’m running out of ways to describe the hotness in this chapter. No to sssmokin’, that’s too Jim Carrey-esque… I’ve already used a variation of combustible… I can’t use non-English words because my French and Spanish have rusted away to nothing with disuse… See? It’s hot enough that it’s rendered my brain to mush… crikey. More. Soon. Please.
I’ve just caught up to the last two chapters. Amazing. Definitely waiting for more. I was having withdrawals.
Okay, I guess I understand the need for drama! Realistic way to show the struggle to change and communicate that must take place. In some way, it’s sad that Tina blames the house for bad memories instead of reveling in the good memories they made there. Loved the door move! Good comic reIlief! I’m looking forward to the private party and christening. Post when you can. Thanks for writing!
It was definetly worth the wait to read this sweet and sexy chapter! Please continue ASAP!
