Bette gave a disdainful glance at where Alice and Lara were getting into Alice’s car, as Alice had offered to take the redhead home. Alice shot her a look of pure innocence, which Bette had to concede, she could never hold against Alice. Then she went inside her house, just as the phone started to ring.
She hated herself for not only knowing who would be calling, but for that small feeling of happiness at the idea. "Hello?"
"You’re home." Surprise tinted Tina’s voice which, Bette supposed, given the circumstances of the night, should be expected.
"Yes." Bette said.
"I’ve been calling."
"I was at Shane’s."
"Oh." Even over the phone, Bette could sense Tina’s relief. And Bette was glad for it.
She settled on the couch. "Helena told you?"
"Yes." Tina sighed. "I’m sorry."
"Don’t be, it’s not your fault those two picked tonight to have a fight."
"It’s my fault, and if it ruined your night, I’m sorry." Tina laughed softly. "On top of all the other things I should be sorry for."
"Don’t do that."
"What?"
"Put yourself down."
"But it’s true."
"Tina."
"Fine. But I’m still sorry if Helena ruined your night."
"Alice was getting on your case."
"A little late in the day."
"She thinks —" Bette stopped herself. She wasn’t even there yet. She missed Tina, sure, but did she want reconciliation? Did she want all the complexities that came with having Tina back in her life?
Yes, but Tina didn’t have to know that.
"Alice thinks you owe everyone an apology."
"She and I agree on that." Tina replied.
"Helena contends the only apology you owe is to me."
"The same woman who told me that one should never apologize, or explain." Tina shared.
"She’s undergone a major personality makeover, huh?"
"Yeah," Tina agreed.
"Maybe a lobotomy?"
"Bette!"
"What? She just magically became a nice person?"
"Well, she’s always been nice to me."
"Yeah, she was trying to get into your pants."
"Bette."
"Well, in six months?" Bette reminded. "What’s your theory?"

The more people cannot be honest to themselves and others, the more complicated the situation would be. But being totally honest is a really hard thing.
can’t they just meet face to face and talk and hug and kiss and make love and get back together and all in one day? but regardless of how long is the road to denialville, i’m here
Hmmm…Why Bette can’t ask about Helena…hmmm…why Bette can’t say what’s on the top of her head…hmmm…why Tiff writes one of the best stories on this site…these are things that are running through my head.
These two goes beyond my reasoning. They can talk on the phone yet not in person. Drama. thanks
I like this story but I just don’t know what to say about B&T at this point. Never thought I would feel this way.Thanks for the post.
Rome wasn’t built in one day. They have to start somewhere, and this is a good start, even if it’s over the phone. They need to be comfortable with each other again. I really do hope this is a start of their road to reconciliation. Thanks for another great chappy, tiff.
they need to have a heart to heart talk and put aside all the differents cause they have a lot of love to share, i like so much your story
Sometimes it’s easier to make confessions and be generally honest when you don’t have the other person right there with you. Also, they could both be feeling so lonely that they might hop into bed and things will still be hanging in the air when they are finished ravishing each other. At least they aren’t chatting online where it’s easy to miss emotions behind words or take things the wrong way.
that just wasn’t long enough..and these two need to get their crap together
Talking! Who’d a thunk it?
They are definitely moving in the right direction. Baby steps. This is good. Yay!
Now let have a talk and work thing out!
i’m always with this. no matter how long it take..torture..but sweet torture.
Talking is good, its a start, you have to start somewhere. Thank you.
baby steps…… Thanks Tiff
Tiff..Day after day you write one of the best stories here on this site. I, too, find it easier to talk about difficult topics on the phone as opposed to face to face. Cowardly? Maybe.
