The Morning After, and The Night Before (Time of Day 31)
“Some of the women there were so jealous that I’d slept with you.”
“You’re kidding.”
“I’m not. One of them that was at that disaster of a dinner party came on to me, later, another night when she and her husband were over.”
“And?” Bette gave an expectant look.
“And what? If I wanted to fuck a woman, I wouldn’t pick one with so much drama potential.”
“Sometimes the straight ones are the best picks.”
“Not when you’re not attracted.” Tina laid her head back on the couch, looking up askew at Bette. “Not worth it in the least.”
“Stay?” The request sounded sincere. “Just to sleep. I promise.”
“I have nothing to wear.”
“I have things that will fit you.”
“Your clothes are always too snug.”
“I don’t know. I think I’ve got a few extras that would fit.”
“Not yours, then?”
Bette held up a hand. “Busted. Not mine.”
“Dare I ask whose?”
“Yours.”
“What?” Tina sounded genuinely surprised.
“Anything that you left behind, I boxed it. Left it in the closet.”
“I thought I took everything.”
“Okay, maybe there were a couple things I really wanted to hold on to.”
“Like?” This side of Bette was really beginning to pique Tina’s interest, tired though she was.
“The blue pajamas, the ones with the stripes.”
“Those I knew about.”
“I wear those a lot,” Bette admitted, adding quickly, “when I wear pajamas.”
“What else?”
“Some random stuff. T-shirts. A pair of jeans that I had always found exceptionally appealing.”
“Can I have the pajamas?”
“You can wear the pajamas,” Bette countered.
“And we’re just going to sleep.”
“I’ll keep my promise.”
“I just want what’s best for us.” Tina ran a thumb over Bette’s lips. “I want an us.”
“Me, too.”
After dressing discretely in the bathroom, Tina stepped into the bedroom. “I feel all nervous, like a virgin bride on a wedding night.”
Bette had turned down what had always been Tina’s side of the bed. She took her former partner’s hand, leading her to the bedside. “May I have a kiss goodnight?”

Oh my god, they actually did it! Slept together without sex. Amazing. Like in the olden days when frontier families would host a suitor by “bundling” him with their daughter, trusting a rolled up blanket in the middle of the bed would keep hymens intact. Of course, in those days they almost always had a gun conveniently placed over the fireplace. Just in case. Ironic that it was so revealing that Bette admitted to keeping and wearing Tina’s pyjamas.
pseud….you’ve got the golden touch. I love this story. It is interesting to see how they each try to survive w/o the other when they were separated. Most excellent. PPS.
This story was worth the breif detour to .333 and I willing to go to another .333 or whatever as long as you keep writing this story!
I’m glad to see that Bette never really let go.. keeping the clothes. That isn’t someone who was really moving on even if they were seemingly going through the motions. More of that kind of thing. Glad that they didn’t have sex.. they did that last time, jumping back into bed, and it didn’t work out. I want it to work out.. so let them rebuild and slowly tackle their problems.
This was super sweet – from Bette keeping the clothes to Tina wanting to wait to Angelica being jealous and wanting her mommy all to the herself.
I am glad T feels warm and safe in Bette’s arms. It is nice…PPS
Ok, this was too funny. I just love Angel…she’ll have them together before long….I hope. PPS
So, Tina stayed but there was no sex. I think that’s a compromise that we can all live with. Here’s the first steps! Thanks for continuing this story!
loved Angie’s ‘bad. home’ ha-ha-ha….loved that Bette kept and wore the stripey PJs and T knew and didn’t insist that Bette give them back…and the T shirts etc….loving the story…and I like that they just slept…good one…PPS
Awww Boo is so cute! =D I vote for a chapter that ends with .6969696969…
Result! Bette got her way without having her way. It was the right thing for them, though. Maybe this glimpse of “normality” will spur them on to greater things… And LOL @ funnyone’s bundling and Lament’s .6969… Right, thanks for the update, pseud.
absolutely beautiful the way your telling this story. just love it. thanks.
I was actually against them sleeping together but in my mind it would have been the sex part that I disagreed with. I love the way that you wrote this squence of them together. Now that is the family that I always wanted to see from them, Bette, Tina and Angelica.
loved it- thanks for the update and compromise.
Wow, what a great way to end the evening, but I do think it was the perfect solution. And now you have prolonged this story for another 10/30 chapters….
Oh please pseud, you have quite the gift of creativity. A unique voice that we are privileged to ‘hear’ through your postings. The progression is perfect in this story – trading off caution and wondering at the intentions of the other, both of the protagonists dance their dance of…could it be reconciliation? It’s left in your capable hands.
HEy Pseud, That was touching and tender. It is most pleasing to see both gals gingerly take steps towards one another again. Everything that they have been throught is there but hopefully teaching them to be kind and respectful of one another. This was a big step. Sharing a whole night together without lust and phsical gratification. Koved Angelica’s interruption. So perfect childlike. More please of this terrific tale. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
i really really adore this story!!i know it’s all yours to take in the direction that you wish, but it would be great to actually see the characters go on dates and get to know each other again before they step back into a relationship again as they seem to do in so many other stories.excellent work your doing here. please keep it up. and i loved the previous chapter too.x.x.
That was awesome and Angie is funny and cute!
