Bette was mulling in her chair, always the sore loser.
“Aww, baby… come here…” Tina said and got up, still laughing.
“No, I’m not sure I wanna move in with such a conning person…” Bette said, turning her face to hide her smile.
“Please baby…”
Bette turned her face when she heard the laughter dissipate from Tina voice.
Bette got up and pulled Tina into her arms. They simultaneously let out a sigh of contentment.
“T… I went online today… to check out houses for sale in the area… the real estate market isn’t all bad at the moment…” Bette said as she pulled back to look at Tina.
“You did?”
“Yes, just being my usual impatient self…”
“Baby… don’t…” Tina leant in and kissed Bette, letting her know that everything was alright, “do you wanna show me what you found?”
“Yeah, let’s finish dinner and then I’ll show you…” Bette whispered against Tina’s lips.
“Mmmm…” Tina moaned as Bette’s tongue brushed by her upper lip.
They had been browsing the Internet for an hour. Bette had shown Tina ten houses that at least resembled something she‘d think Tina would like, but nothing made Tina happy. The houses were too big or too small, too far away or too close to Bette’s house, too upscale or too modest. Nothing came even close to please Tina.
“They’re all so expensive, Bette…” Tina said with frustration.
“Yes, they are… but T, we can get at least 1.7 million for this house… so we’ll be okay financially…”
“I know… I just resent having to pay such an obscene amount of money for a house…” Tina said and leant back on the couch letting out a sound of aggravation.
Bette looked at Tina over her shoulder. “There are some great houses here, T… why aren’t you giving this a chance?”
“I just… I just don’t see anything I like that’s all…” Tina muttered.
“Well, what do you want that you don’t see here…?”
“I want a house with a nice garden… I want a pool… and three bedrooms at least… I want it to be here in our neighborhood but not too close to this house….” Tina reluctantly stated.
“Okay… as long as your demands are so modest…” Bette smiled, leaning back on the couch next to Tina.
Tina stared into space thinking.
“Why are you so grumpy all of a sudden…?” Bette asked, gently placing her hand on Tina’s thigh.
“I’m not grumpy…”
“A little on the miffed side maybe…?” Bette smiled, trying to lighten the mood a little.
Tina turned her face and looked at Bette. “I just don’t like any of the houses, Bette.”
“You didn’t even look at half of them… and most of these houses have all the things you say you want…”
“The only house I remotely like is the one that’s just down the road… we can’t live there…”
“Why can’t we live there?”
“I can’t walk by our old house every day…”
“Why not?”
“Could you?”
“Yes… if you were living with me… I could. Besides I never walk anywhere… so I won’t walk by here on a daily basis…” Bette smiled so wanting Tina to cheer up.

Thanks for sharing your story. Yes, this Tina has committed and Bette’s smile should be blinding. Tina has agreed to live with Bette and in their home, bravo. I like your Tina and dislike the circus IC has sent her Tina on for 3 seasons. Hopefully IC will bring hers home too as you’ve done.
I so love the way you write. You can feel the love Bette and Tina have for each other. It is nice to see that Bette will be moving in with Tina. That should be fun. Thank you PPS
awe…mushy and sentimental. sweet!! time for shopping and they can do a little toy shopping too. rmao
I was so pleased to see this chapter, I had a goofy grin on, much like Bette’s, for most of the way through… I’d had one of the worst days *ever*, and I could literally feel my blood pressure decreasing (well, there was a pleasant spike or two in the old pulse rate after B & T did a bit of dancing in the dark… *ahem*) as I read the chapter, right from the first word of your author’s notes… by the end of the chapter, the goofiness turned to straight up mushy euphoria, which is likely a good thing. I’ve gone from stressed out to all calm and serene now; I want to like, cuddle puppies and kittens and sing like one of the von Trapps… Well, I probably shouldn’t sing. Ever. But still, the power of your pen (or, rather, keyboard) is awesome. I just totally adore this story, anker. It’s sweet in all the right spots, brings the heat when it’s needed, and the emotions and dialogue, well, they’re always spot on. Thanks, anker.
Oooooooooooo a post – how on earth do you have time for that right now, I thought you were VERY busy wink wink LOL. Well….I’ll have more to say when I’ve read it, but will look closely for the little hint :o)) Say hi to you know who. xx
oh wow you out did yourself gyrl!!!!! I fall in-love with this couple everytime I read you….I’m planning to go away Friday was gonna be Wed but!!!!…do you think you could post again so when I get home Monday I’ll have this to read?…I’m going to do my nominations today!!!!!Thank you again, that was such a special chapter…big smile.
Perfect the rings might not be perfect but the hands and body still fit/ thanks
Absolutely beautiful, I think the new rings will symbolize a new beginning for tibette. Thank you for a beautiful chapter, sweetie!
The house hunting is not a fun idea unless you really want to move or you have to move. With today’s cost maybe living in a cave is best. Tina’s comments about the other houses was in keeping with the new B&T. Instead of throwing everything away add to it to make it better. The remodeling idea is perfect and living in Tina’s place until it is completed it ideal. Living in a place that is being remodeled is not fun. The rings do bring up different aspects of their life together. In my mind it is not because of the affair that the rings no longer fit but the growth that both have gone through that would require new rings. New rings for a new beginning.
Again so glad to see your post. Love this story and love that they are keeping the house.
Was very surprised, but happy to see that you posted. I guess since she was occupied with visiting her parents I won’t hold it against you…like I ever would anyhow! Glad to see B&T talking and teasing each other…Oh and of course loving each other. Thanks my friend for this pleasant surprise!
Hey my friend, I was lookin’ for my Sunday Anker fix ! **is that wrong that I won’t even let up on Easter? LOL!*** I laughed at your golf comment. The best part of that game is driving the golf cart! LOL! I agree with Bette on the “cute” comment. Smoldering Hot = Bette. Cute = Dana. Any questions? LOL! I loved the way these two talked through the home remodel, wearing their old rings and they came to a decision without having an argument. B & T are finally having a relationship where they put the wants and needs of the other in front of their own. What could be better than that? I did enjoy the last line of the story that said, “Maybe the rings aren’t right anymore but our hands still fit…” Bette said with a little smile. “They fit perfectly…” Tina said and brought their hands to her lips. Absolutely Beautiful. Thanks Anker. PS. Ciao.
What a fantastic chapter. Can’t say enough about your skilled ability to write and keep me captivated from start to finish and then wanting more…Delighted to see B&T communicating and expressing them self, can’t wait to see whats ahead for this two…Please post soon.
Your writing of the characters is so well rounded…the passionate and ethereal along with the mundane. Perfect. Thank you for taking the time and expending the effort in making personal shout-outs. They are so appreciated. Let’s continue w/this journey. PPS.
awesome and the ending of the chapter was just beautiful
With a little lump still in my throat I salute you and your writing, I am really enjoying this story.
OMG Anker that was brilliant writing! Just brilliant. I don’t know what else to say. Please keep knocking me of my seat…you are sooooo talented.
Perfect just Perfect, thanks for taking the time to post another wonderful chapter PPS

Oh so exquisitely done! Thanks anker :)
Hey Anker, I loved the genuine love and romance in your words. This latest chapter shwon how wonderful live can be when Bette and Tina discuss their worries and thoughts with one another. The decision to remodelled the house was made together. They discused it and then came to a rational decision as the best way forward. Their night of love making was the perfect finale. Sweeet to see them talking about their old rigns and choosing a path together to reunite their souls and lives with new rings. These will symbolize the lessons learnt and provide a tempate for their future. Thank you so much for this afternoon delight. Your Loyal Fan.
Hi, Anker! Just want to mention your comments are some of the most personal and sincere on the site. I even read the ones not left for me…nosy, I know! Loved this chapter and that dynamic between B/T that you portray so well. Tina manipulating Bette (when it’s in a good way)is always fun to read, and so is watching Bette trying to make sure she’s got the signals right. I’m glad Tina has changed her mind about the house, and that Bette was wise enough to agree to Tina’s living arrangements during the renovation. You really know how to write both chatacters equally well and always strike a good balance. Thanks! Have a great week!
Pouting, sulking, you name it. And yes… if the BP is a member, doesn’t matter what the club is, I’m THERE. I can have a problem with being optimistic, but love it anyway. It works, I swear. Seems to me that B&T were taking turns with grumpy and sulking… page from my book, I guess. LOL I must say, I’m pretty glad they decided to stay in their house. Such a darned nice house it is, at that. You know, I think YOU’RE the romantic around here… *sigh* The hands still fit, for sure.
Hey L, I will try again LOL, but I seriously don’t know what happened. About your author note to me – why is it a problem that you get further away from the ending???? I don’t see a problem in that!!! LOL. It’s okay you breezed by their trip (cos you are the writer and calling the shots here….although I would like to do that LOL), just felt I had to mention it :o)) About the post, this goofy Bette is so adorable, sweet enough to eat….eh did I just say that!!!! I love the idea about remodeling the house and I think Bette will be happy not to live in the mess while they’re doing it…eh the remodeling I mean…I’m sure Tina will make her see that. And that last scene awwwwww so cute, loved it all mate – only problem, I want more and I want it now LOL xx….oh BTW thanks for the little “name thing”, made me feel special :o))
Good chapter and perfect!
