Hold a Place For Me CH. 6
Previously………………………………….
Tina didn’t move or speak. She didn’t even blink, but Bette knew she had no choice but to hear what Bette had to say. Bette took a deep breath and continued, “First of all, I’m sorry. I know that doesn’t mean anything to you…you probably don’t even believe it, but it’s true. I can’t change what I’ve done. I know that, but I can change me. We can fix us. I know you don’t have lot of faith in me and probably less trust in me, but I will prove my worthiness of you. I will make myself worthy of you…I know I wasn’t in the past. If you need time away….no matter how long…..I will remain yours. I will stand idly by and wait an eternity for your forgiveness if that’s what you need from me. You are the only one for me. Unfortuantely it took losing you to see it, but I can promise you, I’ll never lose sight of you again.” Bette stood to leave, still unsure if her words had any effect on Tina until she saw a single tear cascade down Tina’s cheek. Bette walked towards Tina and kneeled in front her, taking Tina’s hand in her own and forcing Tina to look at her. Bette leaned in and gently placed a kiss on Tina’s lips….Tina did not deny her. Tears streamed from both of their eyes as Bette leaned back to wipe Tina’s away.
Bette: “I’ll always hold a place for you in my heart. I love you.” She released Tina’s hand leaving a peice of folded stationary in it. Tina looked oddly at the paper as she read the words “To Tina, my love…my life” that were scribbled on the outside flap. Now understanding what Tina needed from her, Bette turned quietly and walked out of her life.
Chapter 6
Bette walks into the planet looking for Alice. She notices the perky blond waving her over to a table on the patio. Alice hugs her tightly, “God, it’s so good to see you. You’ve not been around for a few months, I was beginning to wonder if you were still alive.”
Bette: “Yeah, still here….a shame isn’t it?” Alice can still hear the sadness in Bette’s voice even after the 6 months since her and Tina seperated.

OMG, Bette is going to have to have the patience of a saint, and it worries me cos its so not in her character. Love this story, even if Tina is starting to annoy me. What was the surprise in seeing Bette at the Planet. Hello first off isn’t it Kit’s, and didn’t they always go there. Too bad Bette can’t figure out a way to know where Tina’s going so she can keep accidentally running into her. Can Bette see people while she’s figuring it out? I think not. Waiting as usual.
I’m glad they were able to come to an understanding, but ouch! lol Great job, cole!
How fucking bittersweet was that. Bette is willing to do anything to be with Tina and Tina is going on but holding on to the past. Not fair, but not unexpected. You know that there’s a part of Tina that wants to punish Bette for what she did…funny how you can love someone and hate them at the same time. A very fine line between love and hate. Bette will do anything for Tina…and if being friends is the first step, then there’s Bette taking the first step. Thanks for the chapter…please continue.
Wow. Great chapter can’t wait for more. Definitly displayed some of the hardness Tina is capable of.
Ddamn this is sad and hurt alot. And I agree with Marti, and let see what’s next, thanks!
let the bullshit begin, bette has her work cut out for her in melanie we all know how mel and linz were. tina will be saying bette who when she calls, where is lindsay by the way.
“I’m Melanie Marcus” Oh my, so she’s left Linds for good & moved to LA?
This is what I’m talking about – conflict, drama, confrontation – all the things missing from S2.
Thank god the other woman isn’t Helena Peabody! Being with a lawyer from The Center is so much more plausible.
I loved the scene between B&T! Talking! What a novel concept! S2 should have been full of this – them not necessarily together but in scenes together, conflicting, negotiating, etc.
Why, why, why did they waste such a powerful connection?
Thank you for putting them together for us!
Ouch, ouch – the kissing the hand was cold on Tina’s part. Is she playing Bette now or what? AGH! I love this story! Please post again soon!

Geez, you know Bette wanted to go kung foo on that chick. Hee hee…good self control. If only she could’ve had some of that when the carpenter came along.
How heartwrenching and then sweet was this story? Please continue.
There is alot of ladies that would love to hang on to Bette Porter arm. Maybe that is what she could do. Do as Tina asked to be friends.Until Tina wants her back in her life,other than friends..thanks
