Pick-up Styx
Bette and Barbara
chapter 16
Previously
“So, you came to tell me about Tina?”
“I also wanted to give you a gift.” Bette said.
The Senator gave her a puzzled look.
“But it’s hard to buy for a woman who has everything.”
“I don’t have everything,” Barbara shook her head. “I don’t have you.”
——————————————————————————————
Bette’s hotel room – the night of the MoMA gala
“Would you, uh, sit down please?” Bette asked.
Barbara sat down, a little tentatively, and looked at Bette.
“I want you to know that I love you. And the time we spent in New England….”
“Bette,” Barbara interrupted.
Bette started to speak and then stopped.
“Bette, I’m going to have to ask you to get to the point. I’m too nervous to hear you tell me that you love me, but you have chosen to be with Tina. So…what are you trying to tell me?”
“I’m not trying to tell you anything.”
“Bette!” Barbara said with exasperation as she stood up.
“I’m trying to ask you…to marry me.”
Barbara sat down.
The ballroom at the hotel
“Janis.”
Barbara’s companion turned around and smiled at her.
“Let’s step out of the room for a moment,” said the Senator.
They left the ballroom so they could speak privately.
“Your makeup is a little mussed,” Janis observed kindly. “I guess you found Bette.”
The Senator flushed, something which rarely happened.
“It’s ok,” Janis said. “I knew there was someone else. And when I saw the look on your face when you heard that Bette was here, I knew.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No. We made no promises. No expectations. I always enjoy being with you,” Janis sighed.
Janis looked away, deciding what to do.
“I’m going to call it an evening. It’s time for me to go on home to my apartment. Good thing I didn’t bring anything to the hotel for tonight,” she smiled and kissed Barbara on the cheek.
Bette’s hotel room
Bette sat in one of the easy chairs in her room, waiting for Barbara’s return. The Senator said that Janis would understand, but Bette hated that Janis and Barbara had to go through this.
When she asked Barbara to marry her, Barbara had sat down abruptly and just stared at her. Because she didn’t answer right away, Bette began to feel her throat tighten with fear.

WOW!!!! I am so happy for B&B they will be so Great together. I hope Tina can deal with it like a grownup and not a child. Thank you PPS
I believe this was a surprise to me. Never thought that Bette would get married, Have a relationship Yes,but not marry some one else. Love Dana /delaney so, I’m going you way. Hope your health get better and better, thinking of you.and wish for the best. Thanks
Still teasing us with the gift? So glad for Bette and the Senator. If some of us haven’t been able to achieve that kind of joy in life, it sure is nice that you give us this most appealing fantasy. Long live Bette and Barbara.
im a tibetter all the way. but this was beautiful. thanks again.
pancha, you still aren’t feeling well?? Oh dear, I so hope it is nothing serious. Sending you best wishes and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this story! I am so glad Bette realized what she wants and needs, and that it is Barbara who can give it to her. I am glad Bette finally saw through Tina’s attempted manipulations. Be well Pancha!
Good chapter. B&B are so cute and hot, funny about Bette forgetting Barbaras gift. Ok post soon please, thanks! Oh I forgot that I watch Dana Delany on Jeopardy on last thursday, she very good and cool and beautiful!!!!!!!!!
LMAO@the forgotten gift. Why do I sense it’s something sweet and silly as opposed to a big honkin’ ring?
Tina stepped back and looked at Bette.”I guess it’s too soon,” Tina said patiently.”Please understand that it’s not too soon; I just can’t marry you. I don’t love you.”
SACRILEGE!!!!!!
What latenitesunset said! (Pancha, this is the second time – in a row – that you have split B&T. I guess you have given up ll hopes for Season 4.) Thanks, as always, for a well-written stort.
even as a tibetter i don’t mind stories about bette and other women as long as they’re written well, and your stories are always great…i only have problem with the way you’ve written tina in this story, just doesn’t feel true to her character or to bette’s connection with her
What fun, thanks so much for taking the time to post. : )
Thats what I was thinking!!!. Awesome. I love, love, love these two together. The senator is so strong for Bette-a good partner.
This was lovely…although Tina was kind of freaky! Thanks!
Well written Pancha…I don’t like Tina in this story so I don’t mind Bette and Barbara together.
yay,,, this is going to be a good day- 6 am and so happy news to wake up with.. great… thx
I am in awe of your writing ability. I love this pairing. I am a huge TiBetter but this was well written and IMO realistic. I enjoy B & T together when Tina isn’t snide or bitchy. Sometimes I feel that Tina has really played Bette out to the max. Yes, Bette cheated but I believe that she has truly made amends but Tina hasn’t be receptive and many times overly punitive. Again, just my opinion. Keep posting, pancha. You’ve got the goods.
Really liked the last two chapters – Bette finding her true feelings and some lovely sweet loving was nice too. Hope you are feeling better I’m so appreicative of you writing and sharing when dealing with being sick. Just want to say your story made my day – B & B both stunning and then so sweet together a great match and well written adult lovers unlike B & T ala IC who always makes them seem so petty and underage IMO.
Hmm…Tina has something up her sleeve. You have somehow hooked all these hard-core TiBetters with your wonderful story! Continue your healing and please post as soon as you can!
Perfecto!!! Gracias realmente hermoso!! Please more!!
We still don’t know what the gift is….you’re such a tease LOL.
Thank you for this wonderful story and I hope you’re healed soon.
I dunno, I dunno….hmmmmmm
Yes-Yes-Yes, way to go! Thought for a moment you´d have Bette decide agaist either of them and give her time to reflect and heal . . but this was SO much better. It´s such a lovely story. You made my day. Thank you for that.
this story is very addictive, I must admit, every time I log in, I look for it and was delighted to see on the list just now… delicious, as always! hope you’re feeling well
