If Only You Knew – Chapter 2
Tina spent the next several hours running errands and putting the finishing touches on what was to be her first cocktail party as Henry’s partner. Just as Bette had become lost in the word she’d uttered, so had Tina. She whispered softly the word that she had longed to be able to say to Bette, but instead had heard first from her former girlfriend, “Closure.” She found the word echoing over and over in her head, each time it seemed a little louder and a little scarier.
Pulling into a parking space to make what was to be her final stop before the party, she tried to make a mental checklist to be sure that everything had been taken care of. When she’d hosted parties with Bette they had always shared in the preparation work, however with Henry, instead of helping her, he simply told her what he preferred and she had been content to handle the details alone. As she walked into the florist shop, she found herself drawn to a bouquet of beautiful white roses. Reaching out her fingertip, she traced around the contour of one perfectly shaped petal. She stood absently caressing the soft fragrant flower allowing its gentle beauty to carry her away to another time in her life. She found herself absently wiping at a tear that trickled down her cheek. Bette had always loved white roses and this bouquet was one of the most beautiful that Tina had ever seen… or was it? She was carried away in a wash of memories trying to remember the last time that she had given Bette flowers. She found that she couldn’t actually remember when it had been and sighed softly. What had always been a “just because” had at some point become an act taken for granted by them both. The lone tear that had trailed down her face now became a torrent. When had giving the woman she’d loved flowers turned from an act of love and pleasure to a mere after thought? What had they allowed to happen to what had at one time been an all consuming love and passion for one another? Standing alone, sobbing quietly, she reached for the flower bouquet and cradled it softly in her arms.

What a quickie! lol It’s funny how something so random at the time brings back a flood of memories. PPS!
So short, but so good! Nice build up, can’t wait to see where this is going! Thanks!
Short but very goood!!!! Thanks PPS
At least their on the same wavelength regarding their loss, not if they can think with their heart and not their heads maybe they can work their way back to one another. Good job writing. Thanks. PPS
mmmmmmmmmmmmm more….soon
Let Tina go and ring that doorbell and hand the alluring delicate white roses to the same alluring declicate Bette Porter. Thank you for the post and hope that life slows down some.
More please…excellent writing.
I really like the way this story has started. I think most of us can guessthat Tina is on her way to Bette’s. I amcurious as to where you will go with our favorite characters from there. Post soon.
I like post soon thanks
too short…is tina going to see bette? and give her flowers?
I´m not so sure B&T would be over had it been real life. I do believe that there will always exist this special kind of love between them, but at the moment that love is totally wrapped up in hate, disappointment, jealousy, frustration and not being able to forgive. Come time they will realize how much they actually still love eachother . . even IC has to know that.Great story – hope you continue
I like your new story, I enjoy your writing anyway. I havent really watched Season 4 yet. Just skimmed through the episodes. But I caught a few minutes yesterday, between Jodi & Bette, and it was very touching,Jennifer Beals is getting me hooked again. She is a powerful actress. I might start watching again. I think your story would be very easily for IC to write in the script, If only eh?
That was short but like it. Ok please post soon, thanks!
way too short but I will take anything you write for us. This story is great.
