Chapter 3
Bette sat there stunned, feeling like she had been hit by a Mack truck. Not long before, Tina had relented and decided that they should talk. But she didn’t have the chance to get a word in edgewise. Tina just shot questions at her like bullets out of a machine gun. How was that a conversation? Of course, certain of the questions she didn’t want to answer—and she really didn’t think Tina wanted to know the answers.
She released the breath she didn’t know she was holding and wondered what she should do. Was Tina going to take her head off if she went out to see how—or where—she was? She began to worry about Tina; she often would get anxious after an emotional outburst like that.
At the same time, she was feeling angry! Yes, she had fucked up, but everything that happened was certainly not her fault! Because of everything that had been going on, she reflected, she was still tiptoeing around Tina and wouldn’t retaliate or come to her own defense in those situations when she clearly hadn’t been in the wrong.
It became crystal clear at that moment: Tina had been using her as a scapegoat for far too long, and she wasn’t going to take it anymore. With fire in her eyes, she jumped up to look for Tina, yanking the door open to the room with such vehemence that it slammed against the wall.
*****************************************************
Tina, meanwhile, was pacing in the living room, running her fingers through her hair. She was rewinding her diatribe against Bette in her head. “I had no idea I was still this angry!” Tina had resolved to be on the defensive, but she realized that she had gone in for the kill—in full attack mode!
She had seen the look on Bette’s face when she turned to confront her, and seeing it now, it was almost as if she had seen fear. Had Tina done this to her? As angry and as hurt as she was over Bette’s affair, she noticed, for the first time in a long time that Bette was a broken woman. She began to feel bad that, for a long time, she had treated Bette pretty shabbily.

Tina’s full of ish! Yes I am a Tibetter but whenever this convo comes up it pisses me off! (THANKS ILENE!) She keeps Bette around on a string dancing like Howdy Doody…arrrggg! Calm down Sky…it’s only a show…she moved back home…she wanted to be a family. Okay so if Bette GOT a job would that make it better? Let’s see what else can she find wrong…okay breathe sky…breathe…
Oh…great story…please post soon….lol
Arr, you had me grititng my teeth at this. Tina isn’t explaining it the way she wants because she hasn’t even thought about what she wants…I know you’re a TiBetter so…I’ll how you bring this around, but you definately got the blood pressure up! Just for that, I’m gonna wait to post No Other Love!!Hmph!
DAMMMMMMMmm… i’m with sky on the “THANKS ILENE”… that bitch… oh i forgot its good drama… well everyone knows i’m a tibetter… and only a tibetter… so i am very interested where you go with this story… BTW… i just read all 3 chapters… so please continue
Pandamel, don’t punish us for arkaycee’s storyline, bring on No Other Love. Is so much better than that BeLena story, lol! Arkaycee help our cause and post again soon. I think this Bette wouldn’t have stood for Tina’s abuse(that’s what it is) if there had not been an Angelica ironically this child will likely bring them together.
oh, this is painful…what does tina want? i think bette should just let her to figure it out…sounds like their conversation is not working right now
Tina acts as if she’s been irreparably harmed. If that’s the case then she shouldn’t have reconciled w/Bette. She betrayed Bette by saying she wanted a family and Bette. Horse puckey! The girl is so confused. She doesn’t care how she hurts Bette.
OMG!! skycaptain is reading my mind..I agree Ilene has managed to piss off a great amount of her ‘core’ audience with her treatment of these characters. That’s why I come here to read stories like yours. So while my 2 favorites characters/actresses are a damn mess on the show, I come to fanfic quell my anger over what TPTB are offering! thx again for sharing your talent and passion….I’ll be reading.
this kind of talk is so sad to me cause i love this couple and i wish that they will be happy and TOGETHER! i hope that Tina find out and soon! what she wants (and besides IC think i know that Tina wants Bette) great chapter
Oh how I hate S3 Tina! She is such a bitch and if she would have rolled her eyes one more time during that season, I think i would have thrown up! Bette was dragged through that entire season and this chapter just reminded me how bad Tina treated her. Great update and I’m glad Bette is finally getting a chance to say what’s on her mind. Post soon.
Thanks Arr for reminding us of a happy Tibette in the end. This conversation had to hurt Bette to no end. I am sure that it was difficult for Tina to place these feelings into words. Hopefully, now that those feelings are out in the air then maybe they can work through them.
Damn this is bad and sad!
I really dont understand Tina….She is sooooo tiptoeing around the Man issue…..Tina is confuse and she needs to take time and get herself together and stop hurting Bette. Looking forward to your next chapter!
Grrr… Tina probably should have thought out her on issues before attacking Bette. Having no defense prepared for what Bette came back with was a BAD idea. Also… if Tina doesn’t know if she wants Bette anymore after8 years, maybe she should move on. I think it should be a certainty at that point… TOTALLY a TiBetter, hoping it all works out!
I wonder if they’ll have to have the wall fixed from where the door banged against it…You got the drama, I got the tissues, and I’m sure someone around here has the alcohol. Bring on the next chapter!
Oh I got the bubbly Lament. OH MY TIna. I wish you would get it together girlfriend. I mean, i liked how she confronted Bette, i even liked how she stormed out of the bedroom. But goodness, i Can’t stand her mumness afterwards. Say Something meaninful. You like Men or you don’t? You wanna stay or ya Don’t?Bette ain’t getting a passcard either, the affair was f88ked up. But the fact that she stayed with candy for a little longer, well frankly she deserves To be tortured,FOrever Imo. They both need to get it together. How is Angelica living with these 2? I love this story, and the writing is wonderful Arr. FUIC. Post soon.
Oh Tina… Please say you do… Pleasssseee say you doooo! I have faith in Tina and I think I am one on the few who thinks she is right about dumping the stuff on Bette… I mean,, they never discussed the affair at all… Thats just not working… Thanks for this ‘fix’ (pun intended ;) Ark… you’re great!
Yes, Tina, what exactly *are* you saying to Bette? Seems you need to do some serious soul-searching on the island of reality. I just hope Bette has more patience with you, than I do, and doesn’t vote you off! arkaycee, you are doing a great job, here. I look foreward to seeing how you take this. KIC.
I’m a Tibeter, If Tina can’t get over this.then get the hell out. Bette has been a door mat for a long time. I Bette went to work would that help. NO. Tina will lose Bette and will need to fight real Hard to get her back. They need each other but Tina will realize she needs Bette more. thanks
You know that is one of the things that pissed me off about last season and Tina. Here you are “home” again, you have a living breathing Bette next to you and you are having Cybersex with a man. Then you bring a man into your bedroom. Almost to your bed. Yes I pissed off again. BTW great writing.
Well, I must say I understand both of them, I’ve been cheatin’ on my wife and she’s been cheatin’ on me, it’s not that we have an open relationship but with the years going by (36 exactly) we know what a relatonship is all about. Tina is hurt and so is Bette, they both have a lack of confidense now, not only in each other but also in themselves. They need to talk but they also need to think, really think what is goin’ on with themselves. Girl you’re doin’ a mighty job here, thanks.
Hi, I’m really surprice,, how you get the escense of this two womens.. It was and increible experience.. But I still want to know how can tina get to the point,, to can honestly said that she forgot bette,, that the big issue between both.. this was great..
