Out of Closet (B&T time-travel romance), Ch. 30, Part 3
Alice was getting really anxious from all the secrets and silence so she finally asked, “Okay, Porter, spill, what’s going on with the two of you?”
“Alice, remember when you and I visited Eric in jail…back home…in my time?” Alice nodded, trying to figure out where Bette was going with this.
“I told you then that I feared love. I wanted my life to be a romance novel but it turned out to be a very short and dull story. I thought that because of what he almost did to me I would never be able to trust anyone…to love anyone again…afraid of being betrayed. I thought that I would never let myself open up and let my feelings go. And then along came Christina…oh Christina…” Bette sighed, “The world seemed more beautiful because she was in it. She helped me to see that people were not totally bad, that I can love and be loved again. It was strange and confusing…not only I fell in love but I fell in love with a woman, the most wonderful, kind, loving, generous, and oh so gorgeous woman. She made me open up my heart and let go of all the fear. And I was happy, despite the obstacles that we had…and then look what happened? She’s dead and I’m the one to blame…so Alice, do you see the pattern here? If I allow myself to love and be loved…if I open my heart and show my feelings and let myself be truly happy, I will either get betrayed or lose the person I love. I cannot lose Tina. Tina is everything to me. I know she loves me and I see how patient she has been with me. She thinks that I’m not making the last step to go all the way with her because I’m afraid of intimacy…well, it’s true but it’s only partly true. My greatest fear is that if we make love and I feel happy again, then I will wake up and she would disappear. And I cannot bear losing her. I will die if she’s no longer in my life. So for now at least she is with me and she loves me, even though we are not…” Bette stopped, letting out a deep breath after speaking with such passion and vulnerability that Alice began to wonder for how long Bette has kept this inside.

Wow…I wasn’t expectibng this update tonight…thank you B&TF! This was really good..Bette and Tina explaining their feeling for each other. But…Bette still doesn’t know Christina is alive in 1885…Tina needs to tell her otherwise I’m thinking it will be a source of drama somewhere down the road. Oh wait…maybe it’s supposed to be. Anyway, I love this story…it’s fun, it’s imaginative and you are telling it well. Can’t wait for your next update!
Really great story. I’m not one for so much drama, but I still love it because there’s so much tenderness. I just love the chemistry and passion these two share. Thanks so much for posting.
So tonight is the big night. I love how both Shane and Alice were able to help Bette and Tina with their emotions.
I absolutely love where you are going with this story. The way they came back together and shared their love for each other, beautiful; a perfect moment.
And I am ready for a little sum’ing sum’ing soon. :) At least for my eyes. Love the dream in a dream in a dream. Genius. PPS
My internet connection keeps disappearing so if you get more than one comment from me, pick the one you like the best. :-) I’m so happy to have gotten another chapter so soon, and I’m so happy, both for Bette and Tina and for myself, that those alternative realities were just dreams. Yikes!! Altenate versions of this story would have been great but they would have had me so enthralled that I would have needed to keep notes. I am so happy that Bete felt that she could finally tell Tina that she loved her. I am very much looking forward to the next chapter because I have great faith that it will be wonderful, loving and, of course, sexy
as much as i want to see them make that step i think they should wait… great update… was hoping to see and update and there it was…
Thank you for this story because is makes me remember and believe in the power of love!!! Awesome
For a moment, I thought that Bette would wake up again, but this time on Friday morning, and would re-live the night at Milk, but this time making it right, sending Candace to hell, and stopping Tina from dancing with Helena… But this is even better, and besides, it is true that sometimes the most painful ordeals lead to the happiest outcomes… Thanks for a beautiful (and very looked forward to) chapter, and PPS! K ;)
That was wonderful and glad they didn’t go home with anyone, glad that Alice is there to take Bette home. Good that they talk and work thing out now let see some hot stuff coming. Please post more, thanks!
Awww, beautiful chapter B&TF !!! Loved it and love your characters !
