First, Last, & Forever? (Version 2.0 – Chapter 20)
CHAPTER 20
Bette pressed as tightly as she could against Tina, trying to regain some semblance of calmness. She knew she hadn’t given Tina a satisfactory explanation for her one night deviation from her usual self. Yet she wasn’t sure she could. Bette knew that Tina was probably the only person on this earth who knew Bette inside and out, who understood her so completely. Tina was without question the one who seemed to know her thoughts before she knew them herself. Despite Bette’s affair and nearly seven months apart, Tina still could read Bette like a book, and Bette knew it.
Tina held on tight as she waited for Bette’s breathing to return to normal. She stroked her lover’s mahogany hair through the towel that she hoped provided Bette with the same sense of safety Tina had felt earlier. After a few moments of silence, Bette finally peeked out from the warm shelter, looking into Tina’s eyes.
"Baby, I really want to talk to you about this. I want to try to explain." Bette paused, continuing only after Tina nodded her agreement. "But, I don’t want to do that if hearing this will make you uncomfortable." Tina didn’t answer immediately. She really didn’t want to hear it, at least not details. Still, Bette’s behavior, a one-night stand of all things, it just didn’t make sense to Tina. So yes, she would do her best to listen to her wife’s explanation and try to understand.
"Okay, Bette. I’m here no matter what you have to say." Tina released her hold on the love of her life, allowing Bette to pull herself out of the pool, leaving a sheet of water cascading from her dark, tanned skin. Tina wrapped Bette in her towel, then took her by the hand, leading them both to the same lounge chair they had been sitting in earlier in the evening. Tina left Bette there for a moment as she walked a few feet away to retrieve the picnic blanket that was still spread out nearby. Tina returned with the blanket draped over her shoulders. She sat down in the chair and scooted all the way back before guiding Bette to sit between her legs. Tina wrapped the blanket around them, her arms holding Bette close as she waited for the brunette to speak.

Well written chaper, I love when you post.
Speechless…wow bette needs to keep going and tina gets her turn!
Damn, that was a downer. Tina is acting pretty saint like because I’m pretty sure if I was hearing that BS, even if its all true, I’d be way, way more pissed about it.
Tina did good she needs all the answers and then decide if she wants to work through them. PPS
well who the hell wants complicated sex! thanks.
Steph, this is an intense chapter. Infidelity is hard thing on everyone involved, and the journey back together for the couple, is a task in itself. These chapter evoke quite a bit of emotion for me personally. You are a brilliant writer if you can evoke such raw emotion, and that you do. Thank you for posting.
awesome as always!!! applause to the author
Some things should be taken to the grave. This Candace thing is one of them. Never, never in a million years would I tell my spouse the blow-by-blow of how I cheated, if I were to cheat. To the grave! And beyond!
Some things you talk about,others you try to keep hidden deep with in yourself. If Bette didnt tell Tina the guilt would eat her alive. It would always be in the back of her mind ready to escape. thanks
Oh it is intense… but unbelievably well written! PPS
Wow, I just caught up with all of this. You are doing such a fantastic job of getting them through all of this. Where were you when season 3 was happening? Your version is so what should have transpired and still should.
I do trust you, but it is hard to relive that time. It is what set all the pain from all the seasons in motion.
Wow…just wow… So intense, so painful for both. But they have to get past this to move forward together so they won’t dwell on assumptions about what happened and why. Another excellent gap filler!
I love your story and this chapter was quite emotional; Bette& Tina are doing a huge step to built a very strong relationship…Please don’t let us wait too long until your next post !! ;-)
whoa!!!! i thught tina would be disgusted by the cell scene…and btw i always thought it was significant that they put the white gals in one cell and the biracial/african-american girls in the other…anyway…pps
i hope they will get through this ;)
Wow! This is intense. PPS
