A LIFETIME chapter 8 The restaurant and the closet A restaurant- a few months after the previous chapter “Tina Kennard!” Bette and Tina looked up from their table and saw an attractive young women looking down at them. “Amanda,” said Tina as she stood up and hugged the woman who was a stranger to Bette. This was the only way that Bette had met any of Tina’s colleagues from workaccidentally. They had never socialized with any Alphaville people and none had been invited to their wedding. “Bette, this is Amanda McKenzie-from work. We work in the same division of script development.” “And Amanda,” Tina continued. “This is my good friend, Bette Porter.” Bette smiled graciously as they shook hands. Tina remained standing and clasped her hands behind her back. “Oh,” said Amanda, “you’re Tina’s roommate. You two went to Bette smiled and nodded. “Two ladies as great looking at you should have been able to find a couple of hot-looking surfer-type guys. Tina said you didn’t have much luck.” “Well,” Bette shrugged pleasantly. “Are you coming to the party at “Haven’t decided. We still have a couple of weeksalmost a month.” “Well, bring a date this time. You always look so available that the guys are interested in you and not looking at us other gals.” Amanda grinned. They chatted a little more, but Amanda was joining friends at another table and left fairly soon. As they watched her walk away, their meal was served. “I was going to tell you about the party,” Tina said. “Just how many guys are interested in you at the Alphaville socials?” They ate in silence for some time. They were neither talking, nor were they looking at each other. “How’s the tuna steak?” asked Tina. “Really excellent,” smiled Bette. “My pompano is good,” offered Tina. “Good,” said Bette. Tina talked about the food. Talked about Amanda and the people in that division at Alphaville. Talked about the weather. Bette smiled pleasantly, but seemed to be completely absorbed in the tuna steak.

An intense interlude! This Tina is intriguing…more shades of gray, less vanilla. I’ve always thought Tina was the one with more control in this relationship. Thanks for writing.
i can understand Tina position even if that not an escuse ,but it’s some time hard to say it .i still don’t know how to tell all my family.some know but not all.great chapter and very intense,iloved it .post soon…………….
Funny how Tina gets to hear what she wants when it comes to erotic game playing and yet she has a complete block on saying what Bette wants to hear when it comes to acknowleging to the world what they mean to each other. Hardly seems fair.
I love this chapter! I dislike Tina in the first half, but then I totally forgave her after she opened up to Bette. Well, I kind of like the almost-forced-sex part. It seems so real. Still, I think Tina should really deal with it and get her hands dirty. I found most of the time, Tina always says ‘I’m trying’ or ‘I’m figuring it out’, but no real actions. It’s just her excuse of avoiding the topic. If she can’t do it now, why could she do it later? I think Tina may need some help from outside. Such as a lot of attractive women flirt with Bette in front of her since they’re just ‘friend and roommates’. I guess jealousy is a great encouragement. Haha, I know, my s/l sucks. ;)
Tina can be a little tiger when she wants to be. I’m enjoying your story p.
If Tina has a difficult “coming out” to her colleagues maybe that is why it is fairly easy for her to go back to her str8 world. I don’t remember when she worked at Alphaville if her colleagues knew was in a lesbian marriage? Well written and I, too, liked the angry sex. Very erotic.
Tina is still in closet after 2yrs with Bette, Bette is stronger than I would be. Someday day some nosey rosie will see them together in a hot imbrace and the whole world will know and Tina will be in a pickle some thing are not better left unsaid. thanks
I can’t belief it after 2 years Tina is still not one with her feelings / not comfortable enough to show it to the rest of the world. Bette must feel so hurt… I would.I know by the little things Bette does she understands Tina in every way…like after the nearly “Rough sex” She rubbed her back making sure she was ok. Knowing very well that Tina felt guilty of what she just did. The love making scene after that was hot..Tina demanding Bette to tell her what to do…hot… and Bette allowing her to control her is so pure love… give and take… I still think they should talk about why T was so demanding all of a sudden especially when Bette said no. Was it because she was afraid to lose Bette? Making sure she wouldn’t leave her..Maybe she wanted to show her that she meant the world to her even if she couldn’t say it in the world out side there relationship. I hope you will update soon…I was a little sad when I was at the end of the last page..I wanted more so reread it again.
I totally agree with Funnyone. I actually didn’t understand the reactions throughout most of this chapter. I don’t understand how you can be in love, marry, and want to have children with a person…yet are afraid to share that with people you work with. Who the hell are they to have so much power over you and your life? They are co-workers…nothing more, nothing less. In a year..two or three…they will be out of your life. Bette on the other hand is the one you want by your side forever. Why would you want to jepordize hurting her, and your relationship for some schmo who works two departments over? The Tina who is strong enough, and confident enough to force Bette to verbally tell her how she wants to be fucked, is not someone who is too weak to tell some person at work who the love of her life is. Again…this is two years later! Honestly, if I were Bette, I would seriously be wondering if this is the one I want to share my life with, even though I may be in love with her. She clearly is embarrassed of me, and has no respect for who she is as a person. Sorry…that is just my opinion.
I could almost physically see the tension in this chapter. Bette raised a good point about the children. I’m guessing another reason why Bette is so hurt, besides being Tina’s wife now, is that this is Bette’s first real relationship. It wasn’t that long ago that she just slept around and kept someone no longer than a month. Being closeted was no big deal. But now Bette has someone who she can totally admit that she loves and would love to tell the whole world about it. Bette is definitely a bigger person than I am because I’d have gotten fed up a lot sooner. And now to put myself in Tina’s shoes: I really don’t think I could work at a place where I felt I had to stay in the closet. Right now I don’t mind since I’m single, but it’s something I’ll have to face later on. As for the angry sex, I’m pretty sure I cringed because I kept seeing The Scene from the S1 finale going through my head until Tina calmed down and let Bette baby her for a few minutes.
I’m in agreement with Seahurst and Funnyone. Tina is not being fair in their relationship, their marriage. She is committed, forceful, and controlling in bed with Bette as to what she wants and how she intends to satisfy Bette;however, she lacks all of that when she needs to satisfy Bette in their “real” world. I could understand if it was within a year of their relationship, but two years. Tina’s afraid of coming out, but does she know that every time she minimizes Bette’s role in her life she is closer to losing the woman who loves her. Bette’s played a role in keeping Tina in the closet, but how long does Tina expect Bette to remain her alternative lifestyle secret?
Wooo this is tense for them. I think Tina is scared to coming out and she just don’t know how people react if she did and she know this is not fair to Bette but she just don’t know what to do I guess. Well hope she will work thing out and coming out and be proud with Bette. OK post soon please, thanks!
Oh I forgot to thank you for your explanation and appreciated!
i’m glad they made up before this argument went any further…i can see tina’s position but i also can understand bette who wants tina to be open about them…i hope they will find to way to do it, their love deserves recognition
Loved, loved, loved this chapter Pancha. Two questions, 1) What is Bette taking to keep her so calm? 2) Whatever it is, where can I get some? I’m not saying that Bette should pressure Tina but Bette must be out of her ever loving mind if she’d accept Tina denying what they have AND still allowing her motion on the Bette ocean on the same night. Woman up, Bette! Let Tina know that you understand but it’s not gonna be smooth sailing. Accept Bette…full-time, Tina (I’ll never forget the moving in full-time chapter, Pancha). I’m begging you to post soon, please!
that was a great chapter…I hope Tina comes to her senses soon.
Pancha,That was mesmerizing. The delicate way in which Bette and Tina reconnected after blowing off some serious steam was intoxicating. The passion and lust was evident in every word and phrase. I was happy to see that good sense returned and all was well with the world again. Tina does need to come out and I can understand Bette’s frustration at being left in the closet although she is there supporting her partner and letting Tina come to terms with it herself. It needs to be Tina’s decision. Please continue this fantastic fan fiction. Thank you for sharing your gift with me. Your Loyal Fan.
a good friend? what the hell? this hurt! i can`t understadn Tina but i know sometimes this is a difficult situation, besides she need to speak before they find for theimselves and i think this will be a more difficult situation. This was an amazing chapter as always y hope read more soon
Your version of Bette and Tina is delghtful, honest and rich. I love all the layers you’ve formed. I think it’s time for Tina to own her life. I understand she is fearful. But it’s time. She has got quiet the lady in Bette.For the record the Bette and Tina that belong to sho give me heartburn. So I thank you for your story.
tina the tiger. both start with T. LOL.
Tina is, what we call, what is the word?? Starts with an ‘S’…somebody help me. Anyway, she won’t be able to hold out much longer. She’ll be coming out to the world soon. “Did she mention me?” I would have laughed in his face, or punched it! Your Bette is a saint, a saint! Marriage is good for her, she’s learned so much patience. It must be because she loves Tina so. Going to all those sporting events with her proved that. Thanks for the respite from the vale of tears that B&T are creating over on SHO.
man this was great, but y oh y did u stop b4….the angry sex could’ve happened and then lead to the softer type…..rough, angry sex is friggin hott. tender lovin gets boring sometimes (at least for me). OH WELL UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!! GREAT CHAPPY!!!!!!
Wow I like how Bette transitioned from in charge to being vulnerable and back to in charge. It was beautiful to read I felt like I was watching them both. Thanks
Great chapter but Tina pisses me off….but she did the right thing when she stopped forcing herself on Bette….
