Picking up the Pieces Ch. 8
Story written on November 30, 2006 by Akiracolorblind.
Bette sat at the table waiting for Tina’s arrival. She took the last drink of her latte and licked her lips. She looked at her watch, and it read four forty-five. She sighed heavily and began to get up from her chair.
“Bette,” she looked up and saw Tina coming towards. “I’m so sorry that it took me so long.”
“I’ve been waiting for forty-five minutes for you. Don’t make it happen again.”
Tina looked at Bette. “I’m sorry. Please sit back down.” Bette exhaled and sat back down. Tina sat down and sat her purse on the table. She sat back in her chair and pushed a lock of hair behind her ear. “I just wanted to tell you that I’m happy that you came. I—.”
“Enough with the ass-kicking, can we talk about you wanted to talk about?” Tina smiled weakly and looked at Bette.
“I miss you. There isn’t a single day that doesn’t go back that I wish that we were back together. I want to have my family back.”
“Tina, I wish I could say the same, but you left me to be in a heterosexual family.”
“Bette I’m sorry that I did this to you, but I had these feelings. I wanted to know what they were and this isn’t what I wanted. I never meant to hurt you. I still want to be with you.”
“I don’t know if I can trust you again Tina. What if you have these feelings again? Then what am I suppose to do?”
“They’ll never come back. This whole relationship with Henry and I is fake. He still thinks that I’m in love with him, but I was never in love. I was still in love with you.”
“You were still in love with me? So well you were fucking him, were you thinking of me?” Tina dropped her head and sighed. She looked back up with tears in her eyes.
“What do you want me to do Bette? Get on my knees and beg you for forgiveness. If that’s what you want, then I’ll do it.”

Okay there’s something wrong with the page format. It has me scrolling all over the place and the font is anorexic; one paragraph ends up all in one sentence and my world is hell in a side-scrolling basket. But I pushed through and read this post. Great update. I’m rapping my fingers waiting for the next. Bette should let Tina wait some more. One day is so not enough to consider Tina’s actions. Make it hard and sweet. Hard candy? LMAO. Oh, and get a refund from Katherine for that session, lol; Bette could’ve called Kit, or just taken a shower. Shane is having a genuinely good time with her lil’ bro. Where’s Cherie in all of this? And what’s up with Carmen? I know she’s in r’ship limbo right now, but does she still want Shane…for Shane? She seemed like she was waiting her whole life for a chance to break up with Jesse. ~PPS~
Wow Tina want to be with Bette again and hope she not hurt this time and hope Bette will give her a chance!
why did Bette look at Katherine, her therapist with a smirk????? I don’t get that unless she is gonna string Tina along or something to pay her back ??? and yes, its very hard to read cuz there’s something not right with the page format…I look forward to an update, thanks for writing…
Whew! I’m glad it was one of those “in the heat of the moment” sort of things. Shane seems happy having Shay around. It’s refreshing to see her that way. And I completely agree with TMAJO that Carmen readily called it quits when she got the chance. However if she felt that Jessie was not right for her, I really can’t blame her. It would be unfair to both of them to be in a relationship where the love only goes in one direction. It’s only right to end it before it gets too intense and they end up hating each other. Great update (the formatting was a little nuts, but the story was worth the word search. . . I just wish there was more Sharmen [insert outstandingly pathetic pout here] LOL! Sorry, I’m a total Sharmen whore.).
