Bette could hear that god-awful theme song from the L show in background “I miss those boring electric beeps from season one – those girls make my eardrums bleed.†“Bette do you want talk Mc Dreamy or bash Betty.†“Both.†Tina smiled. “Why don’t you call me when it’s over.†At 11:50 the phone rang again because the L show never ran the full hour. “Hey.†“You better talk fast Kennard because boo gets up between 6:30 – 7:00. a.m.â€
“Well, Mc Dreamy left New York and moved to Seattle because his wife cheated on him, he found her in bed with his best friend and he met Meredith in a bar before she started her internship. Meredith thinks it’s a one night stand, she doesn’t know he’s married they didn’t know they would be working together and that he’s going to be her attending….â€
Can the Tide be Changed Part II
“Bette, I’m more than happy to explain to you the adorkable factor and why George is appealing to straight/bi women even in a sexual way but we’re going to do it another time. It’s 1:00 a.m. and our little Angel is going to be waking up in at most 6 hours. I know how cranky you can be if you don’t get enough sleep. I wouldn’t want you to suspend an art student for being too pretentious tomorrow. Good night Bette and thanks for calling.â€
“You’re welcome Tina. Good night.â€
Tina couldn’t help but smile. She tried to think back to the last time Bette willingly spent an hour talking with her about pop culture, especially TV, in such an engaged fashion, asking questions, listening to what she had to say without dismissing it as the “idiot box†that was responsible for the dumbing down of America, shortening attention spans, ruining civilized culture, etc., it had probably been when they were first dating. Tina was working at Alphaville and Bette would attend film screenings with her so they could spend time together but after a while she was replaced by Alice who was eager to see anything and everything and truth be told it was more fun to see most movies with Alice.
Bette looked at the clock and put the phone in the cradle. Had she really just spent an hour talking to Tina analyzing not one but two TV shows? Not only that she had enjoyed herself and didn’t want the conversation to end. Tina actually was quite knowledgeable when it came to explaining how the shows were structured, story arcs, plot points, character development, the strengths and weaknesses of the Show Runners and the writing. Bette hated to admit that she liked the L show as a guilty pleasure but it did infuriate her.

This has been a crazy day,So I might be off cue here. When Bette cheated on Tina.what if. she had done it with a man? What Tina ,ever forgave her? Yet she,Tina went to Helena, then a afternoon delight withBette,Helena again ,back to Bette,Cyper-sex,Josh and then to Henry. and she is trying to make Bette feel Bad . Plus she didn’t answer Bette question,have you slept with another man since Henry> Ibelieve if I was Bette I would be running–fast. I’m a Bette and Tina lover.Bette is a jealous person. so if they go back together,could they trust each other. Bad day at Black Rock here thanks love the chapter.

This is intense. Both Bette and Tina need to understand that so much has happened in their past and now they are tying to move forward. Tina came right out and told Bette that she wanted her and all Bette could think about did Tina fuck a guy after Henry. If I was Bette I would be jumping up and down inside (of course I would not let Tina know that just yet). I like that Tina is trying to work out her issues with the therapist (and those can be really scary times). It can very difficult trying to get things out into the open. Those feelings are buried for a reason and then some person wants you to talk about them. I hope that both women are able to continue to work back towards each other. Great post.
Great chapter and I wish Bette would get off her high horse and accept Tina’s explanations. Since they are not together it really is none of Bette’s business if Tina has been with someone else after Henry. Bette had a date planned and cancelled to keep the baby. That street travels both ways and Bette needs to realize it. They are both as jealous as hell of each other and just need to get over it. Thanks for the great post.
Great chapter…very good points. I am glad that they are starting to talk…what a novel concept for both of them.
I really like the idea of Tina in therapy. She is trying to make sense of the madness. That’s a good thing. Oh and the wonders of Bette’s back is perfection.
Ok Tina need to think clearly what and who she really want and let see how things go!
Hey, Mads…Great story…I love the dialogue especially when they get feisty and argumentative. It’s sexy and hot. One question: I thought T answered Bette’s question by saying she wanted Bette. But you wrote that Bette realized T didn’t answer her question. Which is it?
I think Bette asked WHAT and not WHO. We know Tina wants Bette, but in what capacity? As a fuck buddy whenever she feels lonely, or as a real life partner? And how did I miss this story earlier? I think I saw the long chapter and was too tired to read it and forgot about it until this second chapter appeared. I wish Bette hadn’t automatically thought Tina went on a date with Josh. Then again they never talked after Tina got back home as if Tina screwing around with some guy would be no big deal to her partner who happens to be a woman.
Enjoying your take on the situation and your trying to make sense of S3. It’s not easy to make sense of S3, but you’re doing great. Like Dr. Hammertime who doesn’t say “love” or “light.” (smiling)
I’m with Pancha on Hammerstein. Going to her is about the smartest thing I’ve ever seen Tina do. Someone who’ll kick her ass and not let her wriggle off the hook. Was it signifigant that Bette was wearing a “wifebeater” when she jumped to so many jealous conclusions about Tina’s evening? I can understand her nerves being raw, but a little self control is useful tool.
Does it really matter whether or not Tina had fucked JB aka Josh Becker? She didn’t do that only because he was a jerk. If he could be as silent as HenryWho, she’d have already jumped on him. Not sleeping with JB didn’t make the wrong more right. If Tina is kind of proud of it, I won’t agree. It really didn’t change a thing.
That was wonderful!! Great points you made all throughout the chapter! Thanks!
Sorry I wasn’t clear at the end. I finished in the wee hours of the morning. Bette was referring to her previous question. Tina may not have seriously dated a man since Henry but Bette still wanted to know if Tina had sex a man since she broke up with Henry. I have made an edit in the story to make it clearer.
what was bette’s reaction to tina’s admission that she wants her? did bette even hear that? all she was thinking about tina f***ing men
