    Bette and Tina talk…to each other…about closet problems. This is the B&T before the original breakup….


     

    A LIFETIME

    chapter 10

    decisionsdecisions

     

     

    When Tina arrived at their home, she was surprised and disappointed to see Bette’s car already there.  She always felt more comfortable if she were home firstthere to greet Bette when she arrived.  To provide Bette with food, or drink, or herself.  She wanted it that way and Bette seemed to want that, too.

     

    It wasn’t even yet 8:00am and Bette had said she wouldn’t be home until about 8:30. 
    ‘Damn,’ Tina thought.

     

    “Bette,” she called as she entered the empty living room.

     

    When there was no answer, she started toward the bedroom.  Then she saw the beautiful flower arrangement on the table and a gift basket of pluots.  She picked up a pluot and smelled the fragrant fruit and then pulled out the card which was with the flowers.  Tina smiled happily at the sentiments on the card and resumed her walk toward the bedroom.

     

    She stopped when Bette came through the door.  For the first time since arriving home Tina was concerned because she saw the worry on Bette’s face and was afraid something was wrong.

     

    “Baby?”  They said simultaneously with concern in their voices.  Then they smiled.

     

    “I was at Val’s and didn’t think you would be home this soon.”

     

    “I got home and you weren’t here and it scared me.  You aren’t out this late unless you call me.  I was just going to start phoning people to see if they knew where you were.”

     

    “The look on your face scared me,” admitted Tina.

     

    “I’m sorry,” they saidagain simultaneouslyand began chuckling.

     

    “We seem to be involved in some type of choral speaking thing this evening,” grinned Bette. 

     

    “What’s the next thing we should say?” asked Tina very seriously.  They looked into each other’s eyes for a few seconds.

     

    “I love you.”

     

    They both smiled and walked into each other’s arms.

    .

     

    Neither had eaten so they made sandwiches.  They seemed less tense with each other than they had been in a while.

     

    “T, you can go by whatever schedule you want at Alphaville.  It’s your career, not mine.  I’ll support whatever you want.”

     

    “But you want me to come out.  You want them to know that you’re my partner.”

    2. I haven’t realized that you were writing another story!! I like this one and I guess I can forgive for writing After loving you (it broke my heart) You said you have lots of ideas, that’s good, give us drama but not sad endings, don’t follow IC’s steps

    3. When you said B&T before the original break-up I thought we were gonna have a flashback to the B&T from “What is Love?” I’m slow. lol Well Tina finally took a big step. I have a feeling more people will be cool with it than she thinks. I mean, it’s not like she’s living where I live. Looking forward to the next chapter!

    5. Yesss! thank you! i know Tina loves so much Bette, she was little concerned about work relation ship. I am happy she make that big step cause she make Bette so happy. Great post. just i am wondering what will happen in the party? continue post please!

    6. Nice touch because it’s so true what is more important the love of your life or your job. I’m always reminded that at the end of the day and hopefully all your friends will be gathered around at your funeral no one ever laments that you should have spent more time at work. Thanks P

    8. Hey ,This is amazing. The gang or part of them Shane and Dana are wise,Alice is just plain nosey Get her a g/f . Like this Bette and Tina “IF ONLY” thanks

    9. Your stories are helping to keep things calm on the chez Techie homefront. Can you arrange to have a new chapter ready every Monday after the show? …how about 10:00 CST? I need my fix. Thanks!

    12. Been playing catchup with this story…and after reading i think 2/3 chapters all great…This one was so needed i was seriously wondering about Tina there for awhile!!! nice touch with Shane but even better from Dana!!! so looking forward to Tina coming out…and the drama that your going to add..LOL.. lovin this

    14. Ilene who? Pancha, you make life in Denialville so much easier. I love your writing and can’t wait for the next chapter. I’m pretty sure when S3 is released on DVD nobody will buy it…just like nobody buys Alf. Alf and The L Word S3 will be in the clearance bin together. I’m looking forward to finally being able to tear my eyes away from the train wreck that is S3 when it wraps up.

    16. I can totally picture Alice walking in on Bette and Tina and not being embarassed about it whatsoever. This is so great Pancha, I lurve your Bette and Tina! And hey, if things don’t work out at Alphaville, maybe JT can buy a movie studio for her or something? And while she’s at it, can you have her buy the Dallas Cowboys too? And then the gang can meet Carmen!

    19. such a lovely chapter…love it…i’m glad tina was able to follow her friends’ advice…post soon, can’t wait to see how it will turn out and i think that her collegues will take it well

    20. It is not always easy to take that step out of the closet especially when it involves the work place. Some people just have more guts to step out. I am glad that Tina is able to put her love for Bette first above her job.

    23. Sometimes the simpliest of comments or questions steer you in the right direction. And it’s usually said by those who wouldn’t ordinarily interject in the average conversation. LOL. Shane and Dana are both of few words, but when they do speak they speak volumes. Thanks for the update…looking forward to party.
