Chapter 2
“I just don’t know why you picked that camp. That’s all.” Tina says to Bette while they were being led to their table by the hostess. The two had been discussing Angelica’s acceptance to Art Camp.
Bette and Tina in an effort to move their relationship forward had agreed to start exclusively dating. For Tina this was a huge commitment. She was hoping this time together would provide the bonding to slowly help them on the road to once again become a committed couple. It was Tina’s prayer that by going slow it would allow Tina to put all the ghosts to rest, the ghosts which seemed to paralyze her whenever she thought of getting close to Bette again.
Bette already has emerged once again as Tina’s best friend and confident. By working out visit rotations and other issues concerning Angelica it helped Tina bridge the gap in her mind. Over the years she found herself leaning on Bette more and more which in turned allowed Tina to keep the lines of communication open. Having Bette be there for her time and time again in matters concerning Angelica allowed more and more trust to build in Tina for Bette. Soon she was trusting Bette for a whole array of issues.
It was only the luxury of time that afforded Tina the perspective to view her actions in a context that allowed her to put a logical spin on them. She could never quite come to grips with her own actions. How had she gone so far astray? For the longest time the string that tied all her actions together eluded her. Tina needed time to grapple with an explanation that would offer a plausible reason that she could live with. It took close examination of those first few years after the revelations of Bette’s initial betrayal at Provocation for Tina to make any sense of her actions.
The best clarification she could piece together is that she was trying to get as far away from Bette as she could. How else could she explain a good natured, happy go lucky man with a son who she could order around? Totally the polar opposite of any description used for Bette. All of the important elements contained were as diametrically opposite to Bette as Tina could get. That was the string, the tie that bound this all together. He simply wasn’t Bette.

WOOHOO!! Another chapter! Yay! Good progresson Jwet. I look forward to the next chapter. :)
Good to see you back Jwet, looking forward to reading what you have in store for B&T. Thank you.
ooooh, that Bette is sly….sure, take a trip with Tina and be available just in case Angelica gets homesick. Very slick! Now, what’s with Rachael? Thanks for sharing your story. More? please?
Hi, I didn’t see anything wrong with this chapter except that it’s too short. *greedy eyes* =P Why does it seem that Bette still tiptoes around Tina? Isn’t Tina the one should ask for forgiveness this time?
Enjoying this story very much.
Jwet…Great development. Looking forward to more. They sound like grownups…as if they have learned from past blunders.
Well, I got one number and a prize of $2. All in all, I’d say this is the more rewarding experience. Any nude beaches in NC?
I don’t know why but the whole time I was reading this I kept thinking about the line from Pretty Woman, “Work it, work it”. It just seem to fit how Bette and Tina are trying to become one again. Love this.
Yes, they are moving forward. I know that there is drama on the horizon but as long as they try and work together there is hope. Thank you for the explaination of Tina’s actions. Fits into my thinking also.
Great update. Looking for there time away at B&T reconnection camp!
The slow dance begins. I can just see all the TIbetters rub their palms together in anticipation of Jwet therapy as the chapters trickle in…hopefully not too slowly.
MORE!
This is great and cant wait to see they time away camp and B&T reconnection. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Look…I’m just now getting to read this. I just need a nap…..Thank you and it is wonderful as always.
well j im all caught up now. its been hell at work and my brother isnt doing that well. but am so enjoying this story. always grateful for the words of the jwet. thanks again.
Jwet glad to see you back and like Lamentamini I too am doing my happy dance. Hope they can keep this going.
*does a happy dance* lol@thank-you notes. I had to write so many of those after I graduated from high school that the thought of thank-you notes makes me want to puke. I’m kind of glad no one really gave a crap when I graduated from college.
Well HELLooo there girl, JWet this is a fabulous beginning to what is definitely becoming my newest must read story. I adore the slow and tempting building up as Bette and Tina appearing to be reconstructing their devastated relationship piece by piece. What is encouraging is that both parties have learnt from the past and are now considering what each other wants first rather than forcing their own desires on a loved one first. Looks like Tina is taking the reins and leading them back to a place called ‘home’. It amazes me how four little letters can mean so much just like ‘love’. J it is truly wobderful to have you back ans posting another awesome adventure. Can’t wait to see where it will take me. Loving your work as always, Your Loyal (if lurking) Fan.
so nice to see them trying to put their life back on track…thank you
“dancing with Lamentamini” (i think!). Thank you again for this. I am glad you’re giving us an insight into what could have actually transpired for Tina to leave Bette for Henry. There’s lots of theories, and so far, the ones put forward by tiff made sense, and I’m buying yours too. I think the “true” tibetters understand this fictional couple the best. So….when Angelica is at camp….the mummies will re-discover one another??!?! It’s your story, and I like the way you weave! Ok, is it monday yet?
I love this…Angelica goes to camp…and Bette & Tina “camp out” at the beach…a lovely setting for romance. Sounds like a win win…Please post soon.
Love it! Jwet you are so great! I was just thinking about this story and poof it appeared. This trip should be interesting! Will the gang be making an appearance?
This is almost sounding like a mature realtionship….Hallaluah!!!!
like this a lot – are these beaches secluded enough for some quality time ?how can we wait until Monday ??
“I trust you”. I wonder if Tina can trust her own feelings and let the love of her life to return. Well, nothing like sand and water to wash away fears. Thanks always for posting. I just reread From Afar for like the 20th time. Bring on as many chapters as you like.
I so love it . Great chapter Jwet. Thank you Bette and Tina building slowly really nice to read. PPS
I am enjoying this…. ah yes, the sadly negelected WeHoWest, I’ll see what I can do fo you.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I feel all lovey dovey now!
Hmmm this is a tantalizing chapter that hints at things going on behind the scenes and things that might happen in the future. Fun! I’m definitely along for the ride.One question: How old is Angelica in this story?
Bette is smart, she is including Tina in this, but is Tina paying attention,and depending on Bette to much. They are going to take a mini vacation together hey are very consider of each other. Age does wonders for the mind doesn’t it? s
This doesn’t sound like a short term story to me. It shows all the signs of a “Jwet classic” and leaves me wanting more. I look forward to hearing from you.
Great chapter Jwet! Thanks. Glad to see B&T making progress. “little trips of our own..” Hmmm now that sounds interesting :)
Not “smashing” in the literal sense – but a British expression for excellent! And yes, I am enjoying this rapphrochment of theirs and looking forward to some serious re-bonding. Good to have you back.
Jwet, so good to have you back…I like where this going. Please post soon.
i’m already picturing those long empty beaches that go on forever…. no hurricaines though – right?
Great to see you back Miss J.Looking forward to more. I hope you don’t give up on that other story you posted.
Another wonderful chapter Jwet. I Love a good B&T build-up. Those are my fav. Fan Fics. This trip is going to be so interesting, and i can’t wait to read more.One question. Is this Racheal woman romantically interested in Bette? Post soon!
