Would She? Part 8
Previously
BETTE
Eventually the pain faded away, and the grief ebbed. The anger that followed was cutting but brief, and for that Bette was thankful. She knew Candace had her reasons for keeping Angelica whereabouts a secret.
The love she had for Tina never changed, never shifted or vanished. It remained lodged inside her, wrapped around her heart as Candace’s letter reminded her.
She still looks for her. Her heart still hopes when the phone rings and her eyes search for her smile in crowds.
Bette has a better understanding about love and the paths God and the universe have laid out for her, and it allows her to muse that perhaps she and Tina will meet again in another life, at another art show.
………..She as the sand, Tina as the sea………
……….Tina as the moon, she as the stars………
………………………..Penguins……………………………
Part 8
“Why?”
This was the one word Bette kept repeating over and over on the plane ride to her destination.
“Why was she here?” “Why was Candace gone?” “Why did her son pressure her to go away?”
Bette stepped off the plane and walked over to claim her luggage. She felt like a zombie. She felt like the walking dead.
Grabbing her bags, Bette smiled when she recalled her first time here, a year after her and Candace were married. Afterwards Candace suggested they come here every year.
Bette shook her head remembering the night she got her palm read. The night she was so close to kicking Helena and Alice’s asses because she thought they had played a horrible joke on her.
A few months later the palm reader’s prediction came true. She started her new job and was adjusting so-so. Jodie, this fiery artist, caught Bette’s attention.
She remembered the day Jodie invited her to one of her shows. Bette refused at first but eventually broke down. Bette knew Jodie was coming on to her and sensed it from the very beginning. Although this woman couldn’t hear, she had no problem getting her point across.
Not wanting to go alone, Bette asked Alice to go with her.
“So the deaf chick is really digging you, uh?” Alice asked scanning the room.

That can’t be Bette…I mean wasn’t Bette somewhere drinking champagne? I think Tina is imagining seeing Bette so when she finally sees her she will think it’s not real. I too wondered what Tina thought about her grandaughter’s name. YOU HAVE TO POST TONIGHT…PLEASE!
This is too good not to post again quickly.
I too love this story, love a happy TiBette. I don’t understand Angies baby being named Candace though. I too feel it is a slap in the face to tina… Let the loving begin…
My stars, I don’t believe you did that. Well, please post very very soon. Please let them see each other. But if I read correctly on the first page, they did not see each other, and Tina left.
OMG…..I cannot believe that you stopped there…are you trying to kill us??? Please post soon.
Honda I would have agreed with you only if Angelica would have known who C&B actually are. At this moment she only know them as her pen pals. Sky, Bette plane has landed in Jamaica. The part that you are referring to is something that happen in the past, Bette is taking a journey back down memory lane. Stormy, Angelica names for the baby was names she choice because of her relationship through mail with C&B. Later you will see why Tina had no problem with the name.
Thanks for shedding light on that Michellia…can now be later when I will see how Tina felt? lol…that’s my way of saying please post real soon…I am on edge here…and I don’t do on edge well.
DUN DUN DUN!!!
I started reading this when you wrote it the first time and was so captivated by it. I was so disappointed when you stopped posting. My disappointment is now gone since you picked up the pen and resumed this story. Based on the responses, we all are ever the romantics. We all know that neither time or distance can seperate those that are destined to be together. I sense that you feel that too. Your creative talent is much welcomed. Thank you.
SO MEAN.
My heart is pounding and you are making me have to wait to see what happens!! You are so cruel ;-)))) Love it when you tease me. This withdrawal is giving me the shakes. I need the next chapter; I need my fix. Please post soon.
Damn this is so good!!!!!!!
Well Mich, Another terrific chapter in this wonderful tale of lost love and lives unlived. I can’t wait until Bette and Tina meet each other. It will be interesting to see if the spark is still there or if time has dulled the magical connection. Maybe it will re-ignite in a frenzy of heat and light; the years will peel away leaving the the souls revealed. This is a must-read story as your words and narrrative drive it forward in new and different directions. Thank you for the hard work and effort to creat such genius, Your Loyal Fan.
that was not nice. ; ) I am so glad you can’t stop writing because I would miss your stories. Please post soon.
HAPPY DANCE You posted; as u know I have been hanging out for you to continue with this story…pleasssssssssse post soon
Baby, ummm….like, do you and I need to talk? Very good; no GREAT stories you write, but to fucking short!!!!! Now, what I do with that rock I was kicking after the last short chapter? Messing with you is going to have me in therapy. Ok, I’m laying my keyboard on the floor; when I pick it back up, I expect NOT to see another post from you!! I Love You Baby!!!
