"Makes perfect sense to me, Bette—‘I can’t get any from my long-time life partner, and I’m tired of her blonde hair and pale skin. Hey! I’ll sleep with this beautiful carpenter that I get to work with every day. She looks like me, and I’ve wanted that for sooo long…..’”
“Tina, STOP IT!!”
“Why? You know I’m right! It was so convenient—she was working right under your nose, and you could flex your schedule to fuck on demand! When was the first time, Bette?”
“I’m so sick of this, Tina! You keep coming back to this same fucking question! How many times have I told you that you are wrong about why that happened? That doesn’t even have anything to do with how this conversation got started. Why don’t you tell me the first time you decided to cyberfuck Daddyof2 or whatever the fuck his name is?"
*******************************
Tina wasn’t ready to talk about this now—she was getting impatient with Bette’s continued interruptions in answering her questions. She had mixed feelings about hearing the whole story of what had happened with Candace, but once she had asked, she felt compelled to listen, even though she knew it could be painful. It hadn’t been pleasant to this point, and she had a sinking feeling that there was a lot more to hear.
At the same time, she knew Bette was right about what had begun this conversation—her confessed feelings for men. Frankly, she was puzzled by it, too—it seemed to have come out of nowhere. Tina knew that something was compelling her, but what was it? It had been years since she’d thought of a man that way. Sure, she still found men attractive—she wasn’t dead—but she had no desire to sleep with one. Just the memory that Jean-Paul thought he would impregnate her the “old fashioned way” made her ill, and she had really struggled with the notion of sleeping with the young artist at Bette’s lecture.
Her first notion of a change in her response to men was at the playgroup when she and Bette first met Angus. After Bette had the verbal altercation with the father who took the triangle for his child, Tina struck up a conversation with him. She felt a strong need to apologize for what she saw was Bette’s rude behavior towards him. In the course of their talk, she realized that she was very comfortable and felt chemistry with him that caught her by surprise. He was an attractive man, and when she caught a whiff of his scent, it stirred something in her that she hadn’t felt in years. Tina didn’t think much about it at that time, but she started paying more attention to the men around her.

oh crap…Tina is going to flip!PPS
Is it jealousie, hurt or just want to torcher Bette more? She played a big part in their downfall. Yet Bette went out side to get relief. So Tina will blame her forever. thanks
yes what a place to stop… and i agree tina doesn’t really need all of the details… but hey at least they are talking… its better they they did on the show… if they at least talked on the show… all of us TIBETTERS’ WOULD BE VERY HAPPY
First, I agree with pandamel; TOO MUCH INFORMATION…why does Tina need hear all the dirty details and is she going to reciprocate with the nasties about Helena and Henry…and will they have HOT make up sex? Second, a friend and I did a marathon last weekend of watching season 1: Ishe is a white woman and I am biracial…I found it VERY interesting that she didn’t notice but I did that in the jail scenario, they separated the WHITE WOMEN from the BIRACIAL/AFRO-AMERICAN WOMEN and gave the reason that THEY (the afro-ammer/biracial women) were TOO DANGEROUS!!!!!! I congratulate L WORD forhighlighting ‘racism; however subtly: Third: my impression of the affair was Bette did not have to be in CINTROL like with in her life with Tina…it is easy to say BETTE wasn’t giving T enuff attention but central to BETTE’S LIFE at that time was the struggle to HOLD ONTO HER LIVLIHOOD FOR THEM…add to that the miscarriage/father troubles/lack of communication/when Bette reached out Tina took off or shut up/Tina being able to share all the good things with their friends/Bette’s focus on that shit Franklin!!!! I don’t blame either of them for the mess that eventuated…when pressure comes on, compounded by the trauma of illness and death…something has to give and in this case like so many other relationships they BROKE…now can they forgive and find each other again…whew, that was a rave, sorry!!! lmao
Two chapters in so little time, indeed ! Brava Arr ! Way to go ! You know, somehow I understand why Tina wants to know exactly what happened ( however morbid and masochistic it may appear ) and I’m sure it’s going to help Bette as well. In fact, I’m pretty sure that unconsciously Bette needed to come clean to Tina about what had really happened and she needed that for a long time in my opinion. Really, in the long run, I’m sure it’s going to make their relationship – or whatever it is they’re sharing right now – a lot “healthier”. At any rate, however excruciating this conversation may seem right now, I’m sure it’s going to be a great relief for them both to finally be able to talk about that ” taboo ” affair. But then again, it cannot get much worse at this point, can it ?… Oh, well of course it can, actually it did in the world according to Miss Chaiken. Anyway, Arr, as I was expecting, you’re doing a great job at “fixing” those two’s issues. I can see they’re already making huge progress. Yes, they’re finally communicating, which is a giant step for them. Please keep posting. I’m loving this story. Exactly the kind of drama I like.
Just a reminder that this story takes place prior to Josh and Henry–all we know about is Tina’s cybersex, and it makes sense that if Bette comes clean, then Tina will, too, with all the morbid details. But if she weren’t nudged to do so, would she? Mwahahahahaha!!!! ;-)
hey no fair ending the chapter there! great talk. I agree that Tina does not need every detail, but she would probably go crazy thinking about any holes in the story, so if she must I say Bette really does not have anything to loose by telling all right now. pps.
Great chapter glad Tina is finaly getting to talking with Bette about what happen…I think I would want to know everything too.
wow, tina really wants to know the details, scary…i hope it won’t get them two steps back
Wow…Bette is giving the blow by blow…I thought she would breeze thru some parts. “Did you cum Bette” wow is she trying to establish the extent of their connection to try to say Bette had stronger feelings for Candace? They have so much to talk about…all that time not communicating. Please post soon so we can see if Bette came…I think we all did when we saw that scene on the show but I just want to make sure she did…lol
Well damn. If they had only talked this openly in season 3 we would not be crying over their lost relationship.
I agree with Skycaptain. I think Tina is trying to establish the nature of Bette and Candace’s relationship. Was it purely a sex thing or much more? And I think by Bette talking about it, she herself will truely understand also. Thanks for the update Sweetie. PPS
I hope these painful, hesitating, vulnerable steps bring them closer.Thanks for your creative and meticulous approach and I hope you post again soon.
OMG! Your writing is just amazing babe! I’ve finally managed to catch up. Read it all tonight- yep- a gazillion years after I said I would! :-) Post soon! Lookng forward to the next one!
1st?
Well Arr, you certainly know where to stop a story? And ah…yes Tina Bette came….oh boy…this was an intense conversation..but seriously…does Tina REALLY want to hear THAT kind of details? egads! ok ok get back to posting!!
Maybe it’s my slaphappy mood because I got all of 2 hours of sleep, but that last sentence amuses me. It’s like, “Bette, if you didn’t cum, then it doesn’t count.” And I know that’s not the direction you’re taking us. Sadly my brain is fried so I can’t really comment on the talking. It just needed to be done, but way sooner than this.
Well did she? Either way Tina’s gonna freak. so PPS.
Ooo, I think Tina just asked for an answer that’s only going to make her more upset…
Thanks so much Arr, this story is so vivid and holds so much more in it than the one of IC. This is a perfect example of what a writer or a performer can accomplish….the play is never as good as the book. Normally the book comes first, in this case your addition to the play is beyond words. It shows us that once you stop talking to each other, it becomes more and more difficult to start with it again. All those little things unsaid grow and grow untill it’s one big mess which explodes in our own faces. I love your work and I’m honoured that you allow me to read it.
Oh shit Tina gonna blow. Drama keep coming. Ok let see whats next, thanks!
