After loving you
chapter 14
The Interview – I
This is five years after Bette and Tina separated. After talking about it, they agreed to be interviewed together.
I gave them the questions in advance so they would have time to formulate the best answer that they could. I will bring in follow up questions if I think necessary. The questions are all from you readers although the follow up may be mine.
—————————————————————————————–
Pancha: We all appreciate your being here and letting us see into your lives. I imagine you are here because you realize the supreme interest in your story.
Tina: Yes, thank you.
Bette: We’ll do our best.
Pancha: I’m going to start with one of the questions that is on most people’s minds. What was said at that last meeting at Tina’s house that made you decide to break up?
Bette:
Tina: Bette and I agreed that we would tell the other’s view and that’s why she answered as she did. Bette’s take on a future relationship was very similar to mine. I did punish her for months and when I said I wanted an open relationship, something just snapped in her. She couldn’t forgive then and didn’t think she could ever trust again. So.we agreed to split.
Pancha: Tina, why did you want an open relationship?
Tina: I think I still needed a person outside myself to validate me. And I wasn’t getting that with Bette. It’s also probably true that I still wanted to punish her. I don’t believe I was thinking clearly at the time.
Pancha: Did you think Bette would actually accept an open relationship?
Tina: Maybe one part of me thought that she would still take the punishment. My therapist believed that I knew, deep down, that I could never forgive her and that I knew that informing her about the open relationship would push her over the edge. And then Bette would have to make the decision to split, be the one to leave. That way I wouldn’t have to take the responsibility. I was very immature.

Well, so far so good. No hair-pulling knock down drag out fights. lol Looking forward to more.
Okay, I’m finding this really weird – can’t explain why…but please continue, love your writing.
It’s very hurt. I still can’t accept their separation very well. I guess TiBetters are the last people to move on over their relationship… yeah, please continue.
Phew!
This a very interesting and unique format and very well written as always. Thank you!
This is a great idea but sounds a little too smooth and in control. Do they still consider each other soul mates? If this was the last time they saw one another, what would they say? Things are simmering beneath the surface so please turn up the heat.
Thanks for doing this Pancha. For some reason it still breaks my heart…and I need to figure out why since these characters are clearly happy in their lives now. Wonderfully written as always.
wow, this is even better than I thought it would be…closes a lot of gaps. I agree that the Q&A session is going pretty smooth, but I wouldn’t expect much different. I’m sure what BnT are saying is true…the best we can do is imagine their facial expressions because certain words have to sting (like hearing that Bette has matured with Leigh has to hurt Tina a little). Anyway, I’m would like to know how involved Bette has been with Angelica? Any more children? Same jobs?
If they are happy in their life to day then so be it. doesnt mean that we should be. thanks
I’m looking forward to the rest of the interview – great idea
This was a neat idea. It’s all very smart and insightful. I am enjoying the conversation/interview.
*Fa6 scratching her head* I’m still not sure how am I really feeling about the whole break up and this interview REALLY sounds strange.. Although very well written.. Thank you.
so will bette and leigh have childrentogether,and how is angelica doing sincethe breakup.
Well written as usual but I still don’t accept their separation. But Tina will not forgive Bette that’s how the story was written and that’s the perogerative of the author. But as a huge TiBetter, I won’t accept the outcome. I’m in denial. lol.
I raise my glass to the now mature women they have become, girls no longer, even if they had long passed the age of majority.
I think it’s cheesy that your story’s only getting rated a 4 star (at this point) only because people are mad that it didn’t turn out the way they wanted. Do I have to talk about MATURITY again?
This is really good! Thanks for filling so many gaps that most of us fans want to hear from Bette and Tina. This is a really innovative and creative style of writing. I like the way Bette and Tina are able to be in the same room without somoene yelling. There is just one part of this interview I am trying really hard to understand and that is our favorite duo moving on. Especially Bette moving on really fast….because I am still haunted with the words she had to said to Tina…” I don’t think I can live without yu.” So I am going to really look forward to the rest of the interview…just to see if there is stil any loving left for these two. Thanks!
They’ve matured. They have become the women they were meant to be, of course, with the help on one another. Question: If they met for the first time today, would they be attracted to one another? Would they be interested in dating?
Oh, Pancha. My achy breaky (friggin’ corny) heart. I didn’t put up any queries about B&T 5 years after because… oh, well, maybe I’m just deluded, kidding myself, or in need of a good, hard smack in the head (or all of those bloody things). I simply can’t bear the fact that B&T aren’t together. But please don’t get me wrong, I absolutely respect and LOVE your take on their fic. Oh, well, it’s just me being me. Still, wherever you’re taking this interview to, I’m always a-reading. I don’t know about you and fishing, but you got me hooked, reeled in, scaled, de-gutted, filleted, seasoned, and what-have-you. You SO have me with your fic, Pancha, I don’t know what to do with myself. Please go on. Cheers!
oops, I missed the post for the last chapter so just wanted to catch up here, you did an excellent job with the story and I’m enjoying your interview.
I hate you Tina. I hate you Bette, because you’ve moved on in real life and destroyed the romantic illusion I was holding onto. I guess it’s on me to find it in my own life instead of holding your past ransom. We readers/viewers have so much invested in you two being together. It’s not fair, is it? And we are losing valuable time in our own lives, aren’t we. …Dammit, I want my Bette and Tina!
OK..pancha..you are still killing me. I am sitting in a hotel in Ann Arbor reading this and just dying…goint to the next one.
i’m with techgal LOL…for some reason this interview sounds too real…i can even see JB and LH sitting and talking and it freaks me out…i still hope to see that at the end of interview B&T realize that they can’t live without each other…i’m in denial too
This is iteresting and I agree with BetteAndTinaForever and hope one day they wil find they way back together again. Thanks!
This is great cant wait for you to continue the interview…Hope your having fun with them!!!lol..
