After loving you chapter 11 All the king’s horses. Tina thought about where she and Bette were, as she understood it. She had flirted with Robert and shouldn’t have for many reasons but had realized that mistake, maybe too late. She had slept with Holly, who at another time in her life might have been of interest. When she saw Bette and Leigh at the Planet, she had tried very hard not to show any emotion. Tina had allowed herself to enjoy her friends as she had buried, at least temporarily, her shock and distress at seeing Bette and Leigh together. She had known that Bette was dating and wasn’t seriously upset about that. But she recognized instantly that Leigh was not simply a date. Bette wouldn’t bring a casual fling to the Planet. She might take them to Milk, but not the Planet. Leigh was beautiful, smart; she could be Bette’s soul-mate in art as Tina never was or could be. Tina hadn’t been around Leigh very much, but she had sensed her essential kindness and decency. Her face had shown true distress when Leigh wasn’t a one-night kind of date; she was a moving-on kind of date. Tina had sat out by the pool as she tried to discover what she really felt about this: anger, hurt, fear, irritation, jealousy, humiliation, surprise, disbelief? She thought of and discarded many words. Sadness? She thought maybe this was the most accurate of all the terms she had considered. ———————————————————————————– FM: Tina Kennard TO: Bette Porter SUBJECT: Let’s talk Could we talk at the house on Tuesday night at ..

Oh my. Why do I feel that if they have to think about it, were already in trouble. Neither one could answere the question directly. Do they still love each other. Of course the romantic in me would love to see them dump the unnecessary baggage and move on together, because I honestly don’t think they’ll ever be truly happy with anyone else, and that would be so unfair to the other person. I just don’t know if they can get past it and move on together. Man, like my own life doesn’t have enough stress in it. At least this stress I tend to enjoy and always come back for more.
That was intense, awesome, I wish It could have been exactly like this on the show. I hope that they decide to give it a go, as I really think there is no one on this earth for Bette but Tina and that there is no one on this earth for Tina but Bette, please dont break my heart as I have gut full of some of things that are getting said about B&T on this site my wee heart cant take much more Great Great chapter
its good that they talked about all there problems and insecurities.talk about life imitating art,bette made that statement sunday when she said tinawas punishing her. i think bette and tina need to really pursue other relationships on the show as well.but u no illene is going to throw anotherlove scene between them like she did ins2 maybe this time they will realize that they trully belong together and stop taking each other for granted. i also no one thing together or apart they will always have sex with each other because it is so hot between them.
‘sometimes love just ain’t enough..’=(….post soon
I think that they belong together. It’s good that they finally talked about theire problems. I don’t think they would be happy with anyone else other than them. They need to stop taking each other for granted and really look at themselve and rekindle the love they have for one another…. It makes me want to go home, hold my wife and tell her how much I love and need her. I love my story by the way.
I just read both chapters since I missed the previous one.. and what a rollercoaster.. Lady I’m speechless.. You are doing it the BEST WAY IT COULD EVER BE DONE.. I say no matter how many pleas you get about keeping Tibette together or breaking them up, Just do what you believe is right.. After THIS chapter I totally trust your writing and your vision.. Thank you for the wonderful story.
Well, I noticed you changed the line that has appeared before the start of each chapter, which leads me to believe you will finish the nursery rhyme as it was originally written. After a talk like that I would be exhausted.
Your story I mean TYPO :(
wow…i got what i wanted hurray…but am i happy? i don’t know, i’m glad they talked without screaming but neither of them answered if they still in love with each other…post soon please, especially if there’s only 2 chapters left
Wow Pancha..that was deep and very emotional. See this is the talk that they should have had in the beginning…better late than never. I am a romantic at heart and want to say Yes bring them together, they can work through thier problems. BUT the rational side is saying a romantic relationship will not work between them right now. The time apart to heal is what they need. Explore other relationships, continue therapy, build a new partnership. I think that after a few years it might work between them and that time for good. Who knows???I like the idea of the interview…that would be cool.
Ok, if they have to think about it, I believe it’s already over!
pancha, may I call you friend? I have to tell ya that was awesome. Whichever way it goes, the depth you have put into these characters are so believable.
Damn this is hard for them and now they have to think about it again, hope the love they still have for each other will bring they back together again and have a future together. Ok post soon please, thanks!
They can’t go back together because of Angie. All I want for both of them is that they are happy, together or apart. Like them be lover or just friends,but happy. This talk should have been done a long time ago. thanks
I’m too tired to read it carefully. But I really love the idea of having an open ending. I’ll read it tomorrow and think of questions for TiBette and you, haha.
This is heartwrenching. So realistic. It could go either way. They are soulmates. They have to reach down into their own souls and find the generosity to forgive one another. They may be able to love others but never with the same depth, passion and totality that they do w/each other. You may have them separate but guaranteed they wind up cheating on their next partners just as in Sissee Gardner and Bette’s story on the sho.com MB. They will be sorely disappointed in their lives 20 years hence if they don’t work through it. Their story is one of the greatest love stories of all time. It may sound like hyperbole but it is really true. If they could only look into the future and see the life of regret that will befall them if they separate permanently.
The second you have to think “are you still in love with someone” sad to say but the answer is no. Just like any relationship, the second you start to question it, well it’s all over if not for one but for both. Does B&T explore life as friends and have other relatioships????? Maybe then they don’t find what they have been looking for and then they might realise that what they always had is what they always wanted. I read in someones (no sure who, sorry) story this ” I don’t love you because i need you, i need you because i love you” now when Bette or Tina say something like that, that magic will appear again.By the way your story has been fantastic, Thank you for writing
Ya know, I still feel the apathy, not in Tina, but in Bette. It is as if she looks at Tina and no longer sees the woman that once took her breath away. Is that what it is, the fire and passion for this woman is gone or has it been so long that she has almost forgotten. Will it take just a little spark of passion to ignite her flame of desire, once again? I would like to think so. Tina needs to realize that a woman like Bette is not one to be neglected. Physical need takes over and common sense goes out the window, ie Candice!
I didn’t realize that I was holding my breath..I’m banning a group together to send you off to YVR to write for the Lword, they need your help!!!! Totally amazing awesome outstanding pls more and soon
I just saw TLW S3 Ep 1. It’s 6 months after the S2 Lacuna Ep. Made me wonder what the hell happened during those 6 missing months. Then I read your chapter with B&T having THIS (long overdue) talk. Wow! The missing link — voila! In your fic, they need this talk so that they can move on with their lives, or get back together. Amazing chapter as always, Pancha. Cheers!
God, Pancha, I’ll follow you anywhere. In fact, I’d like to book a weekly session with Dr. 305 so you can analyze me. I’m sure I’d be better for it.
This is an excellent dissection of all that’s happened to B&T…I know it’s so freakin’ painful, but I’m glad they’re discussing everything. This is SO good.
Finally they talked, very intense pancha, I liked this one alot looking forward to reading the next chapter. Thank you.
how could you do that to me!!!!!!!!!!!! they have to b together
I don’t know why I thought THIS is the last chapter. I guess the lack of sleep made me temporarily insane. I’m still think about the questions, hoho.
Excellent!
Dear Pancha,I’m still recovering from the LAST chapter–the heartbreakingly beautiful love scene, followed by the equally if not more heartbreaking post coital breakdown of Bette in her state of confusion and sadness. This story is so real, more like a documentary than fiction. And because it’s so true to life, it has tremendous power to trigger the angst of past failed relationships of my own. On the up side, though, it puts things into clearer perspective for me. That is, that sometimes, in this world, love is not enough, relationships do move on in different directions, and that’s ok. I like your Bette so much in this story. The interview format might be fun. Thank you again.
I am so undesided about keeping B&T together so confused,I really like Liegh and I think she is good for Bette,but will she ever be happy without Tina I just don’t know,they have hurt each other so much alot to forgive. The most important question can they ever TRUST each other again I just don’t know. I’m sure your going to answer all my question so post soon love this story….
The intensity, openness, vulnerability, and respect that they shared with one another was disarmingly beautiful. They spoke about the small fractures that turned to the large cracks in their marriage. Do they still love one another? That is the question that will bare most of the power in whether or not they can forgive one another and each other. Pancha that was truly amazing. You wrote with such clarity, dimension, and love. Thank you..it was beautiful.
That was amazing.I would love to see them together, but if they can’t be, this is the way it should be done. Thank u for writing this, its gonna be OK if they can’t find their way back.
That was amazing. This is how the talk between Tina and Bette on the Show should’ve been like. This was a great chapter. Please post soon
That was excellent,and tho it was yery sad it was very much needed its hard to know if they are still “In love” anymore but very obvious they will always love each other in some capacity,as friends,as parents, but with the way story is going …this may be all thats left,and while i was delighted at Leighs introduction to Bettes life here,i find it heartbreaking that two people that seemed so perfect could now be (dare i say it!)..over.What a story!…anyway i loved your ideas on the interview thing ..should be good!
well…at least they are talking and seems willing to try i hope they will find in their hearts a way to be together and HAPPY again..great pancha thanks :o)
i turn to fanfiction for a happy endong. but i dont think i will get the ending i want with your story. i now wish i never read your story. but you are such a good and passionate writer, i couldnt stop reading.
pancha..that was very intense and heart wrenching. you have written this so very well…thank you.
WOW. I wish they would hash it out like that on the show! Please post again soon!
wow!! those were sum serious words!! im still digesting them…
P, wow, I am blown away, this was EXCELLENT, so realistic, it’s not the fantasy version of a conversation about getting back together it was the real deal. This was so damn good I’m going to read it again. There aren’t enough stars on the rating system for this chapter.
Well at least they talked! And it’s true, if they can’t get past all the things they talked about it’s over! Damn girl, you are such a good writer! Even when my heart is breaking I just can’t stop reading your story because it is just amazing! So please post soon, I’ll be waiting!
