“Bette, what do you want to drink?” I shout from the kitchen.
“Beer will be great.”
As I stand in my kitchen I look out onto Bette’s back yard and think about all the times that I’ve swam in her pool, and about the times that I’ve had sex in that pool, unbeknownst to Bette, or Tina for that matter.
“What are you doing in there, brewing it?”
“How many times have you had sex in your pool?” I shout back.
“What?”
“Sex in your pool, how many times?”
I can hear footsteps coming towards me now, meaning that Bette is coming to the kitchen to find out whether I really asked her such a random and yet personal question. As I turn around Bette’s leaning on the door frame, with a look on her face that indicates that she thinks that I temporarily lost my mind.
“Enough.” she says, with a grin.
“I thought so.” I say, as I smile back.
“I think that I’m going to regret asking this question but, how many times have you had sex in my pool?”
“Considering it’s your pool, more than enough.”
Bette shakes her head at this and walks back into the living room. I follow her, but not before taking one last look at the pool, smiling at some salacious memories, and then Carmen comes into my mind’s eye and then all of a sudden I don’t feel so great. The woman that I should have given everything to, I lost when I gave her nothing.
After Jenny left I got a permanent job with a movie studio, or Tina got me a job with a movie studio, either way you look at it the job paid enough money so that I could stay in this house on my own. Over time I had grown to love this house and the fact that I was close to Bette was perfect. She was having a hard time dealing with the fact that Tina had moved to New York and I had left Carmen. We were each other’s support at the time and continue to be, even now.
As Bette moves into the other room she notices a letter that is lying on a table, she takes a second glance at the handwriting and I know that she recognises it as Tina’s. She says nothing as she goes to sit down on the couch, and I hope that she doesn’t. After Wednesday night I’m worried about her. I thought that her and Rachael were beginning to go somewhere but the way Bette dismissed her that night, I’m not so sure.

I like this new story and the easy friendship and dialogue between Bette and Shane. It’s interesting to read it from the different perspectives too. Thanks for writing.
I too have always liked the Bette and Shane friendship. This story just breaks my heart for Bette though. Thank you.
I like this story…I hope that you bring Tina to LA or something…post soon
Wow! I love the voice that you’ve captured for Shane. This is the Shane that passed by B&T’s on that morning after as they sat on their front porch. This is the Shane from S1, wise, a bit world-weary and always loyal and loving with her friends. God, I loved her and I miss her and I’m so glad you have brought her back. In other words, your dialogue is so…complete! Thank you for posting and I hope you will do so again, soon!
I feel like crying when I read something as nice and understated and simple and perfect as this story. Our simple, heartfelt and sunny show…where did it go? Could any of you, while watching such a new and exciting thing as S1, envision that we would be facing an L-World where EVERY SINGLE ONE of the main characters is in disarray, and Dana, dead? What the hell happened? Will the tide be turning? Anyone?
great story you have here. i agree this is S1 Shane, this is the Shane I love. great dynamic between Bette and Shane. looking forward to what’s next.
Excellent story and love how you expose their comfortable and caring friendship. But I do feel sad for them. They’ve lost an important part of their lives. Techgal’s comment has depressed me b/c it is so true. Much has changed, and IMO, for the worse since S1. Write some more.
This so sad and yet blessed at the same time. How these two friends deal with the lost loves of their lives and yet are still talking to one another. Even with the age difference these two are like sisters or even like mother and daughter. Sometimes Bette is like the mother figure and other times it is Shane who is the mother figure. For me what would make it better is that Tina and Shane have continued to talk and that Tina needs to know what is happening in Bette’s life. It is through Shane that Tina starts to reconnect with Bette. (Okay one can dream can’t they)
wonderful but sad…can you give us a hint that B&T will be back together or is it out of the question and they totally moved on…little tiny hint, please?
I prefer Tibette & co. in your capable hands. Ilene can put that in her pipe and smoke it with the rest of the cheap drugs that contributed to the hell that was S3.
I always loved how close Bette and Shane were, even though we rarely see them interacting one-on-one. You capture it exactly as I imagine it. Awesome.
This is going to be another excellent adventure. Thanks foe taking rhe time to post another story.
Happy that Bette has Shane and vice versa. Does Alice keep in contact with either of them? She and Bette used to be really close … Like this story, but not how you have Bette still pining for and stuck in the past whereas her former and less-than better half is happily moving on (still in denial of course, but moving on nonetheless). Why make Bette suffer when Tina already caused much of that during the last two years of their relationship? Doesn’t make sense to me.
When Shane made the comment about the gallery not leaving Bette for the east coast I was thinking “oh shit,” but it must be a Shane thing in that she can say anything and it not hurt someone. Unless Bette really can laugh about it now which I doubt.
I really like your writing very much. It’s so imprssive. And, I like the way you explain what exactly happen between Bette and Tina, with a little bit sadness, a little bit sorrow and a little bit missing. No matter what way the story will go, you got a loyal fan.
Time can heal all wound,but not a broken heart and that is Bette. She is lonely and misable with out Tina. Thank goodness she still has Shane,or I should say each other. thanks
Another great chapter to this interesting story. Very well written and the dialogue for each character is spot on!
Like the way Bette and Shane friendship!
This story is so sad, it’s breaking my B&T heart, but I love your writing.
