THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD — Chapter 20
“Thanks for everything Helena “
“Don’t worry about it darling – you can have the day off but from tomorrow I will be sending work over “
“No problems Helena – I won’t let you down “
“I know that Tina – you look after the three of you okay ? “
“That is another promise that I know I can make “
Tina watched as their British guardian angel drove off with a wave of her hand like the Queen. Tina closed the door and turned to look at the sight that lifted her heart. Bette was sitting on the sofa looking at a newspaper. Despite vowing that she would not get upset she could feel tears starting to form.
They were falling in love all over again and it felt as right as it had the first time. Tina crossed to Bette and placed her hand on the dark curls. Bette looked up, gave Tina a dazzling smile and touched Tina’s hand.
“Welcome home “ Tina said softly teasing several strands of her lovers hair through her fingers.
“Thank you. It feels good to be here – the two of us alone. I guess we better
make the most of is – are the others trooping over later ? “
“No – I have requested that they allow this to be our day – just you and I “
“And they agreed ? “ Bette said with surprise “even Alice ? “
“Alice has actually suggested that one day a week they leave us totally alone. She says we need to relax and get used to being a family again “
“Dana’s death has changed Alice – she seems a lot more reflective – still crazy as a wolf with rabies at times but I do see a more calm Al “
“I feel bad that I’m only just getting close to them again and they have been so supportive towards me while you have been in hospital. I’ve sat up and talked pretty late into the night with Alice and Shane . Is there anything I can get you Bette — juice ? Cereal ? Water ? Herbal tea ? “

i love your story ths not news to you..am absolutly smitten with their openness and tender lovin and care tht they seem to be full of for each other…and am also glad tht your boss is not longer around to screw your happinesswhen are you gonna be back with l wing i miss it too
I am not a soccer fan, but I will support England for you :D Go! England!!
LOVE FOOTBALL!secondly Jaffa cakes are the SHIIIIT!I love them!, Jammie dodgers are ight, but don’t compare to Jaffa!, Bette has taste lol!
OMG real conversations. *squeeeeeeee!* Is it bad that I get excited when they sit and talk as opposed to ignoring the giant elephant in the room?
????…hope you post soon! I’ll cheer for England too.
Good chapter. They are sweet and lovely and can’t wait to see more. OK post soon please, thanks!
Fantastic chapter again. You legendary writer you! Jammy Dodgers and Jaffa Cakes are amazing, don’t know how I’d function without them. A friend of mine wrote to McVities asking if you planted mini Jaffa Cakes in the ground would they grow into full sized ones! 1-0 wasn’t bad but I thought we looked rather lack-lustre, especially in the second half. Oh well 3 points secured so I’m not going to argue. Your chapters may not make me scream and shout as much as the football but they certainly get my heart pumping and keep me entertained and wanting more. Can’t wait for more of your amazing writing. Wahoo!
I enjoy the conversation that Bette and Tina are carrying on at this point. Right now I am not into drama. Save that for that freak show that IC calls lesbian show. Have fun watching your team play.
Another beautiful and heartfelt chapter, Ally. Oh and thank you so very much for not using the Haggis, because that would have been just too disgusting. LOL!!!
Ally, I share your passion for the football! Actually, my country is in the same group with yours – Trinidad and Tobago. You guys will probably run circles around us on Thurs coming but we were able to keep Sweden at bay today! Trust me, when you’re expecting to leave the World Cup with zero pts, getting 1 off a strong team is a big accomplishment for a 1st time team shuch as mine! As for the series, loving it! But hope to learn what the cake and stuff are.
sweet chapter! let us see how will they handle without touching so much! is good to know that your boss well your ex-boss won’t bother you anymore. Good luck with Footbal! they win today! enjoy the world cup!
Now that they’ve expressed all this mushiness towards one another….lets see how they really act as a newfound couple.
1st………brb
Jaffa Cake? Is that something the Crusaders brought back? Jammie Dodger? Oh my God, I’m not even going to guess on that one. Oh, and since it seems to mean so much to you, good luck on that football thing.
Aww, sweet chapter. Hmmm, Jaffa Cakes. Haven’t had those in such a long time. I used to like them a lot when I was a kid.
You know I hope that one of Bette’s ‘things’ is to dunk her jaffa cakes in a cup of tea, and then nibble all around, peel the top off and suck all the chocolate off. Jammie Dodger – dunk and go!! Has to be done! Oh for the mushiness… Drama queen, wicked, twisted and mushy – you have so many facets…
great chapter, i had jaffa cakes for breakfast and England just won 1-0 come on England!!!!!
Another lovely chapter. Let’s see how the ladies progress… Thanks Ally.
How tender and gentle but so sweet that my teeth ache. Any angst coming their way? Unrequited girlfriends or boyfriends? We Americans, for the most part, don’t quite get the insanity over soccer. But you enjoy!
AllyE I love this story and how you are unfolding it for us. So pleased that they are back together. The rapport that they have established is just beautiful. This is how they should be on the show without all the anxiety and problems. I know life is not all peaches and cream but, it can be a whole sight better than what IC has them going through the last two seasons. Let’s hope #4 will be better for us and if not, you writers on this FF site can make them as happy and in love as we all seem to want. Thank you for such a lovely story. What are Jaffa ckes and Jammie Dodgers? Something to have with your tea I suppose. Anyway loving, warm and touching chapter, can hardly wait for the next one, can hardly wait to see when Bette nails Tina to the wall and enjoys all the wonderful nectar Tina has to offer her.
I’m loving the playfulness & openess.
i would like to know those things too since i’m not british….great chapter, ally, they tal,they love each other and they are together…it’s perfect
lovely and sweet and of course so very english there at the end. go team for you and your wonderful story I’ll cheer for England.
ok have u sent in excerpts of your story to the l word staff, so they can see what real communication is?!! love your story. what’s up with the l wing?
JAFFASSSSSS!!! No idea what a Jaffa cake is, but if it bears any resemblence to the New Zealand lolly, I’m so there. Rugby beats soccer anyday, but Go England. Win the World Cup. Go All Blacks, we beat Ireland.
They need to take care of each other. Love,and listen , Our baby, why after 4 yrs she didnt become pregnant with Her boy toy? Love the two of them together. Good luck on the football- soccer game. I think you Brits has a long row ahead of you In the cup. Lets not have anymore drama for Bette until after the baby comes. thanks
Mmmmmm…..just mmmmm.
