Chapter 22
Tina pulled up in front of the house she had visited only the previous day, there was an uneasiness about how she was feeling coming here, but that was because of the altercation between herself and Bette this morning.
The complete and utter confusion she felt about that was the motivation behind her gathering her briefcase and leaving for the day, thankful that she’d had no meetings and Franklin was out of the office, made her reasoning for leaving all the more easier to make.
But coming to see Lily was something she had planned to do from the moment she stepped onto the decking yesterday and regardless of how this morning had gone, this had been an original plan for today and one she still wanted to carry out.
She picked up the flowers and got out of the car, walking hesitantly towards the door. Was it significant that her heart was beating furiously, probably, but they were her own demons to fight, and it was because she knew that Lily would ask about her and Bette…
And what was there to say about that situation…, she didn’t really know herself. All she did know was that last night it seemed that their budding relationship was travelling along at a reasonable pace, one she was happy with under their individual circumstances…
And now…, fuck, what a morning…
Where did it leave them, she had just wanted a little space in order to be able to deal with all the crap that had cropped up, well the divorce was something she was happy to deal with, it couldn’t come soon enough as far as she was concerned…
She had understood Bette’s reaction, to a degree…, but maybe asking for some time alone seemed to be the thing that pushed their conversation over the edge.
She must admit to not liking the tone of Bette’s voice when she had said the words of ‘not having a choice’, which in turn was what had made her snap back, but then the slammed door…
The saying of ‘six of one, half a dozen of the other…’ came to mind, she shook her head, hating misunderstandings, but that being said, she really did need some time to sort out, accept and come to terms with some important, possibly life changing and major happenings in her life.

Great to see an update… we missed you! Thanks and this was incredible as usual!
Hey there Mate! Gosh I so love this story. I found myself sitting here shaking my head when Tina was talking about her past, a past which has clearly shaped her and perhaps not in a positive way due to her fears given Diane and Bette’s similarities. Tina needs to step forward, out of the past, and trust in a future with Bette. That step is a HUGE one, but freeing nonetheless! Thanks for this amazing story and hope to catch up with ya soon!
Another great update!!!! I do think Tina needs to deal with her past. So that her futer with Bette will be a very happy one. I also think Tina needs to have a sit down talk with Bette and tell her what’s going on with her. Thanks PPVS
Fabulous update Jo…you’ve been missed. Can’t wait to hear what the “other” thing is she has to do herself!
Great capter Tina needs to deal with the demons of her past and then have an open honest discussion with Bette. Lay all the cards on the table girl! PPS
whats this other thing you keep alluding to??? did Tina and jerkward have a kid together???
Sounds like this might be a good time for Diane to lie low. Actually I hope Tina DOESN’T do anything impulsive in regards to Diane, that Bette doesn’t do anything impulsive in regards to Tina, that Bette and Tina can trust each other, be frank with each other, and give a little space to each other, as needed.
Hey, great update, Jo ! ( Not that I’m suprised… ) . So, I might just be trying to anticipate what’s going to happen too much here, but I have a feeling that for Tina to really find closure she needs to talk to Diane sooner or later and sooner would of course be better than later… That plus the divorce records sealed and I think she’ll be in a perfect place to really start something, something real and meaningful, with “our” dear Bette. Anyway, is next chapter ready yet ? ‘Cause I am ! LOL ! Once again, thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us, Jo ! You’re such a wonderful storyteller !
Heyyyy… glad to see you’re better, enough to post another chapter at least ;-) — I really loved that one : Lily is a dear, and she so adopted Tina as family from the first minute :-) — going to see her was probably one of the best ideas : she’s full of wisdom, and she loves Bette and knows her very well… now, what is that matter that she needs to deal with herself : a hidden kid ? or a health problem ? or a problem with her family ? she really should not try to “deal with it” alone, considering how “well” she did about Eric and Diane… Bette is probably a little too fiery to deal with directly, but Lily really seems to do much better (and quicker) than any shrink ;-))
Welcome back. Heard that you had been sick also. What is keeping Tina from stepping up and telling Bette that she loves her? Something is still not explaining what is holding Tina back.
Wonderful, Jo. No apologies required, as your writing is always a treat worth any wait! Anxious to see what else is weighing on Tina and keeping her from embracing Bette’s declaration of love.
I know that feeling u speak of: there is noting in this life and waiting for the next…but I guess if u r young enuff and live in ‘hope’ as I do now that u get thru that phase…however my grandma lost her eldest son and just went to bed praying to god every night to be released so she could be with him. I asked her what she was doing and when she told me (I was 20 at the time) I said to her but you’re an atheist. Her reply was ‘That shows you how desperate I am!!” I felt so sorry for her that I even contemplated a way to help her fulfill her wish. I didn’t do it but it was so sad to watch my wonderfully vibrant nana take 15 slow painful years to go. So you touched a nerve for me. My life-partner passed on 16 years ago now.I will try to keep up with this story. As always you write powerfully.
great update. Lily is a wise woman. Please let Tina tell Bette what she is hiding, because Bette will not forgive her if she finds out Tina was not forthright about her feelings about Eric and Diane. pps
This other thing…it’s custody over a pet rock, right?
Happy to see you back and missed the story but it was well worth the wait. Hated to see Tina turn her back to Bette and now she really needs to explain her actions, the why’s and wherefore’s. What is the one thing she can not talk about? Is it a child or another person in her life after Diane. I don’t remember the first part of the story and I’m too lazy to go back and read the first couple chapters. Great chapter. Post when you can, Jo.
That was wonderful Jo and so touching, I know I say this a lot but the way that you make me feel the love and the tenderness in B&T’s relationship is indescribable, thank you my friend, please continue, I am waiting eagerly for the next chapter, you are one of the best.All my love
Lily is a wonderful lady and glad Tina come to her!
