Would She? Part 3
TINA
Tina had been thrown into a whole new world, now that the kids were gone; one that was different from what she expected. Yes, the grass always seemed greener on the other side until you actually got there and realized that it wouldn’t be if it wasn’t for the bullshit.
The life she was leading now had been a fantasy she’d allowed herself to lapse into in order to forget about Bette and to feel better about herself.
And now she was at the place, that golden peak that everyone strived to get to. And shouldn’t she be happy? Yes, she should have been, but as the saying goes, fame and money ain’t nothing if you’re not with your true love to share them with.
Feeling bad, sad and empty is what propelled her into the American Express travel agency. She had gone in with the full intention of just flipping through a brochure, but she walked out of there with two first-class tickets to Jamaica and an oceanfront suites at Beached Negril.
It was a down payment on a house. That’s how much she just charged on her credit card. Just looking at all those zeros made her want to puke.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“So I was thinking that maybe we could do something for your birthday, take a trip to the islands?” Tina said.
“I’ve got to see if I could get some time off,” Henry mumbled, and scratched at his neck.
Tina looked up at him. Hadn’t they had this conversation about his sudden obsession with work? He had agreed that he would cut back when the weather started to get warmer, he had promised Tina the summer.
“When June and July hit, you’re going to be sick of me, because all you’re going to see is me,” he said way back in March.
“It won’t always be this way.” Those were his words, and Tina believed them to be true. But they were well into May, and Henry had worked every single weekend, Saturday and Sunday, for four weeks.
She had tried not to complain, not to whine, and not to remind him of his promises.
“Well, do you think you could ask your boss on Monday, when you go into work?” she said.

I realized reading this, that you’ve taken a back to what we knew before, but have added a bit more. Great job. Love the way this keeps pulling us in more and more. Forget Henry and Jamaica, Tina should go alone and Bette should be there.
Love how you take up from the present to the past and back. Henry is still a numbnut. and Tina a little bit wackie. Bette seems to be Just Bette. thanks
Agree whoheartedly with coop and bettyvhall. Gald to see this story back. Thanks.
Glad to see u started up this fic again. It is truely remembered and was wondered about. I hope you continue u it until the end this time. I am going to make the same comment I made when I first read this fic, and it is the same as coop. Forget Henry, sorry Candace died, but it is time for Bette and Tina to get back together and what better place than Jamaica. Let them both find HEALING and LOVE again!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
Is it me or does this Tina seem a little…I don’t know (shaking my head) can’t put my finger on the word I am looking for, but she just doesn’t seem herself. I can’t tell if she actually is in love with Henry and happy with him, or if she is just trying to convince herself of that because she is still in love with Bette. That whole part about her being addicted to Henry confused me. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks!

It seems to me that Tina is trying to convince herself that she loves Henry, and she really just doesn’t want to go through another failed relationship. I don’t know, she seems a bit off right now. I’m glad Bette found a life and a family and contentment, but, somehow, I can’t help wishing they will find each other at some point.

Thanks for all the recaps…question…If Henry isn’t cheating…is he dying…I mean something is up. Maybe he can meet Candace in another life (I know that was cruel…but hey that’s me…lol) Tina does seem not all there but that must be the guilt she has for almost destroying Bette’s life…for what she did to her she dosen’t deserve to have memories of Bette…if she left Bette for Henry that was her decision we have to live with that…but she stripped Angelica out of Bette’s life…that was uncalled for. Keep posting.
“Tina you have brought Bette to bed with us for years. She has been in OUR life’s to long.” This one says it all, you actually can feel it when you’re lovers body is with you but her mind is elsewhere. Loved this story then, love it even more now. Thanks for sharing it again.
Just as good as the 1st time around. Tina needs to wake up and catch a clue; when they start acting like Henry is, it means the honeymoon has been OVER!!
I hope Tina and Bette both can be happy again a some point. I so love this story. Thanks PPS
