If it makes you happy – Chapter 14
Bette jumped slightly as she felt a hand on the small of her back.
“Bette?” Abby’s quiet voice registered in the depths of Bette’s troubled mind.
“Oh, hi” Bette replied as she turned to face her date, “I didn’t hear you come up.”
“I’m not surprised, you looked a million miles away.” Abby replied with a small smile, “You’ve been gone a while, is everything all right?”
“Yeah, I just wanted to call and see how things were with Angelica.” The lie rolled off Bette’s tongue more easily than she would have liked. She’d excused herself from the function room immediately after the main course, to get some fresh air. She was finding it difficult to be in such close proximity to Abby given what had occurred only a few hours earlier with Tina. She tensed at the most innocent of touches from her girlfriend and was afraid of being faced with questions she couldn’t answer.
“Harry Dennison was looking for you. He wanted to talk to you about some German photographer, Franz someone, thought you might have an interest in his work.”
Bette nodded and said “I’ll go and see if I can help him.”
At this point Bette was happy to talk to anyone about anything as long as it provided a distraction.
“I’m on my way to the lounge bar, I have a few things to discuss with Andrew Jones but once that’s taken care of I’d like to call it a night.” Abby said.
“Sounds like a good idea.” Bette offered, “Come find me when you’re done and we’ll get going.”
Abby nodded and Bette made her way back towards the function room leaving Abby to her meeting.
Harry turned out to be a large, pompous man who was looking to solicit Bette to help lift the profile of his nephew, the budding German photographer. Bette managed to politely duck and weave her way out of the situation and worked the conversation into safer territory. Still she was relieved when Abby reappeared at her side and they said their goodbyes.
“How’s your schedule looking towards the end of the week?” Abby asked, as she pulled the car out of the hotel driveway and into the traffic.

Be smart Bette!
Really good. Thank you
I loved it! A kinder and gentler kind of human interactions that antagonized the heart.
I’m sorry for Abby, I really am. She’s gonna get her heart broken, and it’s a great shame. The heart wants what it wants, though. Post soon, please. I’r really glad you’ve picked up this story again. Cheers
oh those situations we find ourselves in. loving this story. thanks.
Oh HackGirl. I’m still getting over the broken trust – now this. Confusion, longing and guilt do paralyze. Then the honesty in love not quite returned. I feel for your characters. Perhaps you’ll give us a bit more on Tina’s thought process … would she have really sought to reconnect if not for the pivotal external influence? I hope things are less complicated – in a good way of course – and things continue to settle nicely for you. Thanks for writing.
It is hard to love someone when your heart and soul still love someone else.
Feel sorry for Abby. Tina will always be more in Bettes heart than anyone else. thanks
I would not want to be Bette right now, she has alot to thing about. I wonder if she will tell Abby! ;D
Just read all 14 chapters. Great story. Can’t wait for the next one.
Poor Abby…it’s not looking too good for her right now…shoot it ain’t lookin too good for Tina either. Who will be the victor?
sorry, Abby, but doesn’t love you the same… you’re not tina! bette needs to be honest with abby, tina and herself. great story.
ouch!!
thank you.
I think this was the story where I said after the first few chapters I hated Bette’s girlfriend. It annoys me that I can’t hate her now. lol
yeah Abby’s a kind, caring person who only wants Bette to love her but then there’s always Tina…more soon please, I have to know what happens next…
Just started reading, you got me hooked. Please post real quick!
Yikes! I really like Abby, oh well!
Abby is so likable and kind. Bette needs to be truthful w/her. She needs to decide who she wants to be with.
Yeah Bette, that’s smart, leave a woman who is good and honest and loves you to go back to a woman who treats you like dirt.
So glad you are inspired to write again. Love this story. I think Abby will be gone soon….thank you for the posts.
damn why abby has to be so good…bette is not doing anyine a favor by not talking, she has to choose sooner or later and i hope she trusts tina enough to give them another chance
good to know real life’s treating you well :)what is wrong with Bette? She cheated on Tina when they were together. Now she’s cheating on Abby. Sheesh…. i want tibette but Abby is such a great gal too. argh… hard to decide.
So wonderfully written!! Thanks!

I love your writing and am so glad you’re back. Abby is a good woman but she’s on her way out and can feel it.
