Abby knocked on the front door of Bette’s house and returned her attention to the loose thread on her shirtsleeve as she waited to be received. The door opened.
“Abby” Said and unfamiliar voice.
Abby looked up and found Bette’s ex-wife clearly surprised but smiling nonetheless at her.
“Hi” Tina said after a moment’s hesitation “Bette’s not home yet. Would you like to come in?”
“Thanks.” Abby replied with a small smile while her heart and mind both raced at a million miles an hour. As she stepped into the house she could see and smell that Tina was in the middle of cooking dinner.
“Bette’s running late, she called me about twenty minutes ago but she didn’t mention that she had plans tonight.” Tina said as they stood awkwardly by the door.
“We didn’t as such, I just dropped by to see if she wanted to join me for dinner.” Abby replied as she wished she’d bothered to call Bette and see where she was before landing herself in this situation. In truth, brief voicemails were the closest thing to a conversation Abby had received from Bette in days and suddenly she was beginning to understand why.
“She did tell you that I was staying here though didn’t she?” Tina asked as a frown crossed her features.
“Yeah, she did.” Abby lied and nodded, unable to formulate a better response.
“She’s been caught on a conference call with someone in Seattle. I’m sure she won’t be too much longer.” Tina advised.
“Looks like you’re cooking up a storm.” Abby said as she motioned to the kitchen, “It smells wonderful.”
“Oh, yeah.” Tina said as she briefly looked back at the kitchen, “I enjoy it and I’ve missed having such a great kitchen, just thought I’d make use of it.” Tina said with a nervous laugh.
Abby looked at her watch as though wishing time away. She didn’t even know where to begin making small talk with Tina Kennard and it appeared by the silence that fell between them that Tina didn’t know either.
The happy squeals of an infant came from a room down the hall. Tina looked around in the direction of the noise.

Oh good, one more thing out of the way to get B&T back together. Bette should explain to Abby what’s really going on, but break up with her anyway :). Thanks for posting HackGirl.
Pish posh the fact that Bette did not bother to tell her should show her how high she rates on that list of priorities… It sucks but damn she needs to get a clue. Bette’s attention span only seems to be able to expand to a certain limit and with Tina and Angelica back in her life Abby will have to come out fighting Ninja style and shit.
“Bette’s attention span only seems to be able to expand to a certain limit ” …I agree with Slipperynipple, Bette is probably totally distracted by the change in affairs chez Porter. Having Tina and the baby there has turned her world upsidedown – for the good! This is the second time that Abby has had to pull “her Mercedes coupe away from the curb at speed.”, each time she has come to Bette’s house. Get a clue, Abby! Hackgirl, I love this story and wish you could post more often. It has substance! Thanks!
If I’m getting the chronology right, this is the Wednesday that Abby suggested Bette should take Tina out for dinner. Did Abby think she was going to stop by and nix those plans??? One should never get mixed up with a recent divorcee, you might end up as the rebound girl. I think Bette’s intentions are noble, but Tina has that 3 trump cards: 8 years of history, Angelica and the fact that Bette still loves her. This story does have an interesting premise though. Thanks!
Uh oh… Bette you are in trouble! Abby seems like a nice girl, she don’t deserve this. Porter, you have some explanations to make. Make up your mind, woman! More please its way too short! :)
Darn it you have me feeling bad for Abby. Good story. Looking forward to where you take it but I’m not getting my TiBette excited quite yet.
Hacker, Only 1 page??? We need more please post soon. ;)
Abbey shouldn’t jump toconclusions.She should give Bette a chance to explain. Maybe Bette felt that she should tell her when she got back from her conference (to reassure her she didn’t have anything to worry about) Bette didn’t know her conference was cancelled….awwww who am I kidding…Abby’s toast….lol
Good to see you back HG! I guess Ms.Abbey is not that high on the priority scale. If not Bette should have had the decency to tell the woman about the living situation..oh well! Post soon!
HG its been awhile always leavin us wanting more
Only one page in such a long time… Girl, you’re so cruel… *run off to cry*. =P
Poor Abby, if they’re not meant to stay together, at least she deserves a good break up. Or a good love from Bettte ?
This sucks. I really wanted to hate Abby. I mean, I wanted to hate her more than I hate Janelle and Howie on Big Brother and that’s a lot of hatred. But now I feel really bad for her. Bette should’ve told Abby what was going on.
abby’s right, bette should’ve told her but even if bette’s intentions are not about reconciling with tina (which i think she will let abby know about), i hope from now on it will be
You give such thought to your stories. You’re definitely one of my “go to” authors if I’m looking for a good read. Thanks for writing when you can.
Uh oh trouble coming for Bette and drama coming for them. Ok post soon please, thanks!
I need…no wait…crave more, please HG. Bette’s not being very sensitive to others, is she now?
HOLLY SMOKES BATMAN!OR BETTE,THERES TROUBLE BREWING.I CAN SMELL IT! GREAT CHAPTER BUTTTT TOOOOOO SHORT DEAR!
Hey HG, Thank you for returning this this masterpiece and giving us a little insight into Abby’s point of view. Yes, I want Bette and Tina back together because they just fit so well; they compliment one another. Bette should have told Abby the truth about Tina’s living arrangements but its not the kinda thing you want to leave on a voicemail. Face to face is best and that hasn’t been possible as Bette thought Abby was in ‘Frisco. I just hope that Bette can make amends and end things amicably with Abby. Let’s give Bette a break and allow her to realize the deepth of her love for Tina. Brilliant writing and I adore the way in which you create such believable sides to the story. Everyone has their own voice and opinions. Awesome. Thank you again for this treat. Your Loyal Fan.
Great story. I like Abbey and feel bad for her. She doesn’t stand a chance. Everything is stacked against her. Unless, Tina does some Exorcist thing and her head spins around and flips out. Bette may realize she’s making another huge mistake.
