Silent All These Years (the return of)
Chapter One
Bette sat back, a wave of exhaustion washing over her. The only thing keeping her awake was the hum of nervousness circulating throughout her entire body. Tina had been in Vancouver with Josh, as she had just learned from her wife’s assistant and tonight was the night she was due home. Against her better judgment, Bette started that torturous imaginary conversation with Tina in her mind and spent the better part of an hour doing so. Just as the imaginary argument was about to be resolved with imaginary make-up sex, Tina slunk in the door, looking guilty as sin. Bette had a million questions, most of them utterly unanswerable, but only one left her shapely lips.
“How was Vancouver?”
“Good… Um, there’s a lot of talented writers in BC, apparently”
“Mmm-hmm… Tee, could we talk for a bit?”
As much as Bette wanted to indict Tina and hang her with her own lies, what she really, truly wanted was her life back, for her wife to love her and to have the family she’d dreamed of. She could never muster the anger she wanted to, or at least not since her dalliance with the carpenter.
“Did you run into anyone you knew from Alphaville?”
“No. Nobody from my former life. Anyway, Bette, I really want to get to bed, I’m totally jet lagged and I’m about to leak on my favourite suit jacket, so could the interrogation wait until tomorrow?”
Tina glanced over at Bette then quickly picked up her bags with no request for assistance, as if the very nearness of her partner would cause her to confess her sins. Not once since she’d gotten home had Tina looked Bette in the eye. Despite her recent deceits, the blonde was still honest by nature and still one of the worst liars Bette had ever known. She knew Tina would rather avoid the subject than lie directly, something she was slightly more adept in.
As Tina made her way to the bedroom, Bette made a last-ditch effort to connect with her increasingly distant wife.
“I missed you.”
Tina stilled in the hall briefly, stemming a tide of tears she refused to shed for the woman who had wounded her so badly over a year ago. She looked back at Bette, sighed, and continued down the hall.

But I’m not sorry for clicking the “read story” button.. Me like.. Thanks
those sorries dont seem heartfelt
Are they in a world of trouble. thanks
continue – I am very interested to see where you go next and whether Tina is really ready to connect with Bette.
keep it up ..i like it
Painful but necessary. Keep it up; I’m totally sucked in.
Even then Bette was busy with work, she loved and showed her love to Tina. What is Tina doing now? I think it’ll do good if Bette leaves Tina for a while. Great writing, although it’s so painful to read. =)
heart breaking…is there hope?
I hope the “I’m Sorry” is true and they finish the discussion and start working on their relationship….the way it should’ve been.
This was very good…very intense! Thanks!
Excellent writing filled with passion, hatred, cutting truth and perhaps remorse?
At least they are screaming at each other. That is better than the silent treatment at times. Hopefully they will continue now that the gates are open.
What are they apologizing for? Hopefully they aren’t saying, “I’m sorry I ever got involved with you.”
No words can do this justice…. this was AWESOME. I can’t wait for the finale. Well written and thought provoking.
good but a little more please…
