The Journey 22
Tina : “Bette, why did you come home ?”
Silence. It seems like I have been waiting forever for Tina to ask me any question that might have indicated she was interested in more than a friendship. The irony was that now the moment is here, I wish it had never come and especially not at 01:38am on a Saturday morning. I am holding my cell up to my ear, laying on my side with only the sheet covering me as the question starts to repeat through my mind. I have so looked forward to this opportunity and I promised myself if I was lucky enough to get a second chance I would grab it with both hands. I silently remind myself of how I got into this mess, by not communicating, by not reaching out. Yet I have dreaded this moment too because when the time came I had a decision to make, put it all out there and risk it all again or do nothing. If I choose to do nothing, there will be nothing.
“Bette, why did you come home ?” Why did I come home, can I tell her why I came home, should I tell her why I came home ? I roll onto my back and look up at the ceiling unconsciously still holding the cell phone to my ear and with my left hand rub my forehead. A good 30 seconds go by. Silence.
Tina : “Bette, are you still there ?”
Bette : “I’m still here” I practically whisper as I try to wake up and think clearly. I try to focus. I clear my throat. Uncertain I ask “Tina, I am not sure I understand what you are asking, are you sure everything is alright over there ?”
Tina : “Everything is fine here” disappointment begins to set in as I start to wonder if I have made a mistake. Perhaps Bette is just not awake, perhaps she doesn’t want the same thing I want. Silence. “Bette, perhaps I should let you go, it’s late.”
Bette : “Tina, wait, please wait, don’t go.”
Tina : “I’m here.” I try to be patient, pushing Bette has never worked.
Bette : I am still laying on back. “We need to talk Tee.”

awww thats mean, ending this hapter like tat and us having to wait till monday, great story
What???!!! Noooooo!!! She can and she has to! What is Tina thinking, can’t she see how hard Bette is trying?
Not quite what I expected. Tina not able to articulate after all this time? She pushed Bette away before, didn’t sign the divorce papers and gave Laurel Bette’s name? Huh, she doesn’t even want to try with Bette? Lead on I’m folling this story.
Ah Christ! What is wrong with Tina, Bette finally opens up and she says she can’t! you’re the author, make her! Well guess we have to wait till monday :) but anyway great story!
man i dont get it…the other chapter Tina said she was still in love with Bette and was worried if Bette felt the same..so she decided to ask “why B came home”..and now that finally B answered what Tina wanted to hear..she says “No I Can’t” ??? WTF! Tina needs a smack in da head lol why she needs to complicate things ?? damn..
Post soon!.
shit tina!!!! what the hell?!!I thought that was what whe wanted! I’m so dumbfounded! Ah well, guess I’ll just wait to see what kind of bug comes crawling out of her ass in your next chapter! LOL! Thanks!!!!!
Nooo please make it all better
what the hell??? Tina wanted to Bette to answer what she did and now that was Tinas turn to be a coward???and we only will know monday????? nooooooooo
tina is the one character that i love and hate at the same time. bette and dana i love — we won’t mention who i dislike to the point of wanting to slap them but Tina is such a puzzle. She cannot be the wimp she acts because she couldn’t have survived 7 yrs with Bette but then she does wussy stuff like this and i want to throw her in the pool. Great stuff though…sorry — should have said that at the start
HA HA HA HA HA LMAO! with moonshadow comments LOL! You are right What kind of bug comes crawling out of her Ass that was so Funny this is great Yep I’m NOT really sure too OMG! Please continue Post soon Thanks!
no no no no no…now…did you really mean to hang us like that……no no no…Tina has to come up with some other line…this aint gonna work….love it though…more pls
What????I thought Tina said she loved her and wanted to work it out..DAMN CLIFFHANGERS..GREAT JOB ON THE CHAPTER..PLEASE POST SOON
nice job, I really like where this story is heading!
I thought Tina wanted this??? Please post again soon.
im in the back of the line. but WTF???? tina gets rid of whats her name cuz she still loves bette and wants to be able to work it out. and what the hell is monday all about.???? your not posting until then. that is just plain mean. lol i need you to explain this. im so confused *furrowed brow* and its daylight here still. please post soon. thanks.
the next sentence better be “believe you were so open and honest with me. and fuck yeah, i want to work on this relationship.” thats the only thing that makes sense after all weve been hearing tina saying to herself and whats her name. just saying ;)
You were going along just great, until that last sentence! I was thinking, okay, I know we will have to wait a few days, for more posts, but thi will leave us in a good place. WRONG!!! Have a heart unbeknown, how ’bout it?!
very funny!!!! WTF – OMG Tina is one fickle woman … hmmmmmm – i really feel so bad for bette. wherever u r going, have a good time but hurry home and write the next chapter!!!! :-)
Okay we will see your Monday ,have a safe trip. enjoy, we surely want be thanks
NO,NO,NO. Tina wanted to know cos she still loves Bette, Bette tells and then she says I can’t. I don’t think so. Please find a way to change that last line into something better. Love this story, but B&T have got to give it a go.
WTF??? Didn’t Tina just tell Sam that she is still in love with Bette???? This doesn’t make sense!
ok maybe these stories are starting to get garbled in my head, but why was Tina stressing abt why Bette can home and then when Bette tells her it is because of her she says she can’t?!! it just doesn’t add up.
‘Lucy, you have alot of splainin’ to do’!
you are really going to leave us hanging for 4 whole days. OH..and please don’t let tina say no
you are really going to leave us hanging for 4 whole days. OH..and please don’t let tina say no
Damn! don’t leave it like that til
Monday!!!!! :(
NooooooOOooOooo…monday???!?!my new sem starts on monday!!!!! and Tina…you can’t??????what d’ya mean you can’t??argh…..
Dam. That’s got to hurt like hell.
WTF – I thought T wanted this too – I hope shes going to explain in the next chapter (soon please???) I hope she can reconcile this with herself & her peace of mind – because I’m not sure she’ll get that turning B down.
I don’t get it.
In one chap Tina is telling Sam that she loves Bette and has to give them a chance to see where they can go and in the next, she’s turning down Bette after Bette says everything she pretty much wanted to hear. I don’t get that?
That was not fair but I understand Tina’s POV.I have been where Tina sits and my answer was always yes but in the end it never worked out.I though want B and T to be together.
very confusing but maybe this is the test of Bette’s staying power – will she run if Tina doesn’t jump into her arms?
It is times like this when I wanna bitch slap Tina…….and you too for leaving us hanging like this!!! With a story this inviting, Monday might as well be Monday, this time next year!!
what the hell is wrong with her!!!!!!!!!
Oh fuck this is suck, I guess Tina is still scared and fear that Bette will go away if thing get hard!
wtf???? she tells Sam she loves Bette but she tells Bette something different???? crazy, T makes things unnecessarily complicated…keep it simple…
