The Journey 58
Previously….
Bette: I stay laying on my back, looking up at the scant clouds. “Tina, do you want to spend the rest of your life with me?” Before Tina can answer I say “My question is not do you love me, or are you sorry, my question is, do you want to spend the rest of your life with me? That is what I want to know.”
Tina: “I think so.” I say it quietly.
Bette: And the words start to slowly filter into my brain. I can literally feel my blood pressure increasing. “Get off.” And I simultaneously push Tina off. “What the fuck?” I say in disbelief. “What are doing Tina?”
Tina: And in an instant both Bette and I are standing up. “I thought we were not going to do this today.”
Bette: I shake my head, bite my lip and look up from the ground. “And I thought we were going to have a life together.” I say sarcastically, all bets are off. I also realize for the first time that I had already made a decision about staying with Tina.
Tina: I grin at Bette. Hands on my hips.
Bette: “I’m glad you are amused Tina.” I brush dirt off.
Tina: “Bette, wait.” And I reach out to grab Bette’s arm.
Bette: “For what Tina, wait for what exactly?”
Tina: “Bette.” and I demand she stops. “I do want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Bette: “What?”
Tina: “I …want…to…spend…the…rest…of…my….life….with …..you.” I say it slowly.
Bette: I look at Tina, not knowing what to make of it all. “Two minutes ago, you thought you wanted to spend your life with me, now you know?”
Tina: “I want to spend my life with you.” I say sincerely. “I wanted too two minutes ago and I still want to.”
Bette: I turn my palms up to indicate my confusion.
Tina: “I’m scared too Bette, please try and understand. I know I made a mistake, I know I want to be with you, I just didn’t know if you wanted me.”
Bette: I watch Tina wipe away the tears from each eye. “Are you sure?”
Tina: “Yes. I want to spend my life with you, us to be a family. I am very sure, I have never been surer.”

another awesome chapter from a gr8 writer. thanks so much for the chapters
I am glad that your are continuing this story. At least they are talking to one another and when that happens then their is a possiblity of working things out. Travel safely and waiting for your return.
this chapter is perfect the dialogues are to good! and the best part is that they agree to sleep together again! is a good start for the reconection!
Two great chapters in one day. Thank you
i am loving it.. keep it comming.
Happy to see they finally step forward. But I can’t agree with some of Tina’s action. When she thought their relationship had problems. She didn’t try her best to solve them, instead, she was looking for another way out? Is that what one should do to her beloved? I hope she’s doing it just out of revenge or something like that. Being immature is more acceptable to me. =P
Love your story and your writing – their dialogue, reactions, thoughts and actions are all written so well. Can’t wait til next time.
Sooo Soo Happy hope they can make it work
your dialogue is always so good – thanks for getting these two to talk. Now let’s get them into bed please : )
you leave us like that?? not nice but great chapters
Yay, 2 in a day! Glad that they were working things out, at least heading to the right direction. Cheers mate :)
thanks for this chapter of hope, i can see their happy future now
Love this story and to see two chapters up on this board had me doing the happy dance…I am so looking forward to sleep time for B&T or is it to soon. Take care, post soon.
Thanks for both lovely chapters. So glad to see that they’re starting to get somewhere. Please let them keep at it.
Enjoy your time off, we won’t. I don’t buy Tina’s early excuse to try men because it seemed like the right time in their relationship, how ‘but when Bette had left and sent you divorce papers, didn’t that seem like a right time? Water under the bridge now, but huh?
Your writing is just magnificent as always. You get it spot on; it is so realistic and always rings true. I love your blend of angst and sweetness. I’m looking forward to these two starting to mend their relationship and enjoy each other more. Keep on writing when you can – we will be waiting eagerly.
A few days ago, I read one of these chapters and realized I needed to start at the beginning and it has taken me all weekend to get caught up and I have just read this last chapter. This is a wonderful story and I really like it. I am happy they have decided to stay together. You have made this entire story so believable and so feeling real. I’m sure this story could parallel some lives for real, there is real feeling and wisdom in this story. Can hardly wait for the next chapter.
When you said “no ch60 til thursday”, did you think of any thursday in 2006 ? …just to know. Oh, and maybe you can post ch59 before ;-) well, you know, I just miss you story, REALLY miss your story, hope you’ll feel like writing again and have the time to. You’re still the best, even when you don’t post !! ;-)
This is good and happy for them1
What a beautiful day ! Thank you and have a good weekend ;-) (you are terrible, j’adore)
So I was reading this chapter at my desk and holding a stack of papers that I had just put in order. When Tina asked Bette if she was having an affair, I dropped the entire stack of papers on the floor. Do I have to put them in order again? Sure, but it’s worth it for this story.
I’m not sure what it is that makes it so, but the way you write these characters is very compelling. I’ve been with you all the way, and look forward to the next post. Have a great weekend, and thanks for writing!
Another great chapter. Can’t wait for more.
Once again…perfect.
For the love of Pete, I am glad you are posting again! Love your B&T and the respect they show for their love. Have a wonderful vacation. Thanks for posting.
Hey UnB, Good to having you posting again. I love the interplay between Bette and Tina as they both knew what they wanted but were unsure of how the other party felt. Finally the air was partially cleared and I am hopeful that Bette and Tina will work together to rebuild a stronger partnership. I can’t wait. Thank you for this delight. Your Loyal Fan.
Thanks for this one, you’re making my heart sing.
i am sssssooooooo hanging out for a followup, please
how can they have sex so soon after T’s given birth? and right near the start of this story T said she didn”t sign the divorce papers so they are still married so why is B organising a wedding?
