"She was cranky tonight," Bette noted as she settled down onto the couch.
Tina nodded standing a little uncertainly.
“Yeah. I think she’s getting a new tooth in. She wouldn’t let me look, but I gave her a dose of children’s aspirin so hopefully in the morning she’ll feel better,” Tina said and with a roll of her shoulders she sank down onto the couch.
Bette wasn’t sure it was unconscious or not but Tina had left a good amount of space between them. She resisted the urge to scoot further back until she rested against the armrest.
She hadn’t expected to feel this nervous or tense. Well, truthfully she hadn’t let herself think about how this was going to go. She just knew instinctively that things were going to be said and no one would walk away unscathed.
She glanced at Tina to find Tina with her eyes closed and her arms crossed over her chest.
“I was surprised that Candace agreed to meet with me,” Bette started with a slight grimace.
“I bet,” Tina replied eyes still closed.
“And I was surprised that you gave me that card to give her,” Bette added.
“It’s a good script.”
“You really think we need alcohol to get through this?” Bette asked changing the subject abruptly.
“It doesn’t hurt to be prepared, Bette.”
“Are we going to take a shot every time we hear something we don’t like?” Bette tried for lightness and failed.
Tina finally opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Bette.
“How about we do this…every time one of us tells the other something they didn’t know we take a drink.”
“A drinking game,” Bette shook her head feeling a faint stirring of amusement.
“It’ll be fast and quick that way.”
“So, twenty questions is it? And a shot for every new thing. Got it. Let me get the glasses. Where do you keep them?”
Tina watched silently as Bette got up and wandered towards the kitchen to get the shot glasses.
Her suggestion had been made in jest–sort of. She hadn’t expected Bette to agree to it and yet she had.
Drinking was probably not a good idea.
Drinking would certainly let down their walls but she didn’t want to end this night in bed with Bette just because they drunkenly got carried away.

The last page had me lost. LOL I’m sure I sound similar while drunk. Definitely when really sleepy.
The last page had me lost too. But I was thinking they’re drunk and so it wasn’t supposed to make much sense to me but for them I’m sure it made perfect sense, lol. I wanted a little lightness to end the chapter with. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Extremely heavy, but needed. Lets hope they remember tomorrow, and do go crazy and let everyone know they are now and always will be in love.
This chapter was just amazing. The depth of all their feelings and also their love was really hidden from the other. This chapter is just unbelievable and you smashed it out of the park. Certainly hope they can maintain that love and understanding now that everything is out in the open. This is not everything I want to say but gotta run. Wonderful chapter.
Wow…Wow…and WOW!!!! Thanks!
Wow, you really do have their lives down. They finally talked and are beginning to work on their lives together. They were sad, angry, sappy, and in love throughout this conversation. Welcome back and thanks for the update.
Rock it!!! Very thoughtful and deep conversation those two had. I still want to know Bette secret. PPS
It was worth being up late and seeing a update from you.Great job.Your Bette is a cool drunk.I hope they can move on and just love each other.Looking foward for more.
Wow. I just thought about how much I missed your writing, and you updated! Speak of the devil =). That was deep. But real good. Made me feel all sorts too. Thanks for your update!
Whoa! That chapter raised the bar – it was so well written and imagined. This was truly excellent Speedy although it does pain me a little to see a Belena writer slaving over a hot Tibette…especially when she out Tibettes the Tibetters.
This chapter rocked it! Excellent, Speed, excellent. I am sorry the vacation didn’t go as planned, but it’s good to have you back!
Fantastic insight. I guess I owe a couple of drinks for all I didn’t know but now do;-)
“…vacation was a bitch and my internet connection went down and then I got sick… ” Wow, and with all that going on you still finished another chapter, Bravo!
This is amazingly good. Thanks for these deep thoughts.
wow… that was deep and as usual very good!i could see this all playout in my head…amazing
Excellent, Speedy! To be able to plumb these depths in the midst of the drama of your life is truly awesome! You managed to address so many unspoken issues from the show and bring plausible rationales to the surface for their behavior and attitudes. I bow down to you! If your BeLena cred weren’t so well-known, I’d swear you were a dyed-in-the-wool TiBetter! But you’re “just” a great writer–thanks!
I love the part when Bette says “You know who I am right?” Hilarious. always love your posts and this was definitely does not disappoint. sounds like you need a vacation from your vacation though! LOL…PPS
Big huge “high 5” awesome chapter well done, cannot wait for the next installment
Bless you Speedy, for making them finally deal with their issues. I can’t say enough, “This is so my Season 5! Hope you had a great vacation. Pps.
