I Need My Best Friend – Part 13
Chapter Thirteen
Tuesday
Nothing had been said since they left their appointment with Foxworthy. The session had taken a turn toward the end that neither had anticipated.
Earlier that morning
Their appointment with Foxworthy was at nine o’clock so they decided to have coffee at home to avoid the questions they knew they would have to face if they met the girls at The Planet. Most of the tension from the night before was gone and they kept the conversation light even managing to joke around a little. They planned an early lunch before Bette’s flight to give them a chance to talk about their session. Tina had been touched by Bette’s offer to cancel her trip but had insisted she go.
They had spent most of the session discussing everything that had happened since Bette walked out last Friday. Bette was surprised that Foxworthy commended her on the way she explained her feelings to Tina before she left rather than just leaving.
The session was nearing the end when Foxworthy said, ‘I’d like to suggest that while Bette is away you refrain from getting into any deep conversations. I don’t think you need a repeat of the problem you had last week while Tina was away. It’s much better to do these things face to face so one of you isn’t caught out of town alone without support. Also, I’d like for you to give some thought to how you want these sessions to proceed before your appointment next week.’
Tina glanced at Bette and said, ‘What do you mean?’
Before Foxworthy could speak Bette said, ‘It’s time to deal with my infidelity.’
‘Oh.’
‘Before the two of you begin to deal with that you need to consider if you’re doing this for closure so you can each move on, whether you want to remain friends or not or if you want to try to save your marriage.’

The muzak in the elevator had been nerve racking, the silence on the drive to the caf had been deafening and now waiting for their food to arrive, sitting so close, was just downright painful.
‘I feel like a criminal.’

Gentle and tender, no rushing. Both of them need that. Without added drama, everything is dramatic already. Well done. I love this series!
How would Bette indulge Tina? Hmmm, Does making love like no tomorrow count?
I’m honestly getting a bit worried here…but let me say this was one wonderfully written chapter…intense, loving, sad, beautiful…very well done girl!!!
As Bette said, “what we’re going through right now is intensely personal” Alice asks too many prying questions and Tina should draw the line and not answer them. But you need to do the exposition…
Thanks
What a beautiful not from Tina!! You touched my heart. I can’t wait to read the next chapter.
Alice gave her{Tina} something to think,that if they didn’t go back together,would Bette LA. I know if it was me,my old shirt wouldn’t hit me in the butt and I would be gone,.Could stand to see the LOML with someone else. Tina seen to want her cake {others} and to keep Bette in her life at any cost. Wonderful chapter
I am getting worried too, please dont break them up
You put so much into this chapter. I hope B&T find their way. Remarkable writing.
Thanks so much for the long chapters. It really allows us to get totally caught up in the story…and such a wonderful story it is. I understand Tina’s fear…but her going back and forth is starting to worry me. Thanks!
As_always Great!! I love that you post the two chaps together, you get more into it, It was deep, it feels like if Tina need a little experimenting just to be sure, in spite she said she didn’t want to date other people, dunno… great writing!!
my favorite part thou, Tina putting Alice in her place, gish she even kick her!!
quote: I may know some things about Bette that you don’t. (lol, duh!!) :D
you have had some great moments but this was the best. Thanks for taking the time.
I agree very well written and very intense.. Sorry I can’t always comment it’s hard at work.. But please continue this is an excellent story…
This was a great chapter–I love the dialogue and Tina’s heart-aching ambivalence. Thanks so much!
great chapter — Tina’s tentativeness is palpable – and understandable – wants and fears are all mixed but Bette’s growth and calmness is helping the situation – there shouldn’t be ultimatums – I don’t think that Foxworthy should force them into any decisions – it is the direction that counts and their communication is improving – again, thanks for the enjoyable, truthful chapter..
You touch my heart when I read this story, it seems so real, I loved the letter from Tina it was so sweet, and right now Bette and Tina need that time together, but you can’t break them up.
