How could you forget us? Chapter 8
Chapter 8
At Bette’s place their usual evening tryst was disrupted by Angelica having a nightmare. They were both on edge since Angelica had almost walked in on them when she woke with her nightmare. She stayed with them until she fell back asleep. Bette carried her back into her room and tucked her in. They listened out carefully then laughed at the near miss. They cuddled and moved into a spooning position with Bette behind Helena. As they drifted off to sleep Bette said, “Well, I hope she sleeps in. I would hate to miss my wake up call.”
Helena hugged her arms and chuckled sensuously. “I know you rely on that ‘wake up call’ as much as I do. Good night, darling”
“Good night, baby”
When they woke, it was almost automatic. One would begin playing with the other’s nipple or kissing the other’s neck. It didn’t take long for both to be fully aroused. They knew each others trigger points and could tell from body signals what their partner wanted for that morning’s “wake up call”. They both reached their climaxes quickly and relatively quietly to not wake Angelica and recreate another incident of her coming in on them.
As they lay in each other’s arms Bette, said, “I know I told Tina I’d bring Angelica home early but I’ll see if she wouldn’t mind me bringing her back after dinner. I really want to take her to that Disney on Ice show and I thought we might have an early dinner after the show.”
“I’m sure she won’t mind. Give her a call and it will probably be great for her to have the time to get some things done.”
After they had breakfast as Angelica and Helena played outside, Bette called to get permission to keep Angelica longer than scheduled.
“I was counting on her being here for dinner. I wanted to introduce her to someone.”
“Who?”
"Her name is Pam, she was my blind date."
“Oh, so it went well. Kit mentioned she was at the Planet yesterday. She said very nice things about her”
“It went extremely well. She has an amazing life story. She is incredibly nice, intelligent, thoughtful and frankly, she is not bad to look at either.”

hehe, hey squirl, i didn’t realize that i hadn’t commented yet. i think it’s great that everyone is commenting so lyrically. i think tina’s being a total jerk, but that’s what people sometimes do, so c’est la vie:) i am cheering for helena, she seems the coolest of the bunch. bette’s inner turmoil is wonderfully dramatic and interesting. pps:)
hey squirl, you have nothing to apologize for. tell the story, do it your way, it’s aaaaall good! :)
Hey there squirl, I just had to come back to read the comments. Firstly, Tina did not fuck Pam the 1st night altho she wanted to, Pam has brains & class which Tina needs in a real relationship. I think Bette may have cooked her own goose by telling Tina ‘no go honey’ when Bette obviously is still possessive of Tina. As for Bette re Angel. Ex-partners pull this controlling shit all the the time re ‘the child’ but it’s really about maintaining one’s territory over the ex. Plus Bette doesn’t mind fucking Hel when Angel is around so is she assuming she has better taste than Tina in that she picked an ok alternative to Tina but T’s not likely to pick an ok alternative to Bette??? How arrogant!!! Pam sounds like REAL competition for Bette and I hope she makes Tina very happy and having lost her own child ends up an excellent step-mom for Angelica. And I hope they have more kids. As for Helena, Hel made her choice to play in the same pond twice and I have NO SYMPATHY particularly when she herself voiced the triangulation analysis. GO TINA GO GET U SOME PAM AND HAVE A LIFE. Let Bette wallow in her agonising ‘will I won’t I”. Tina gave her a chance & made it plain that Bette was her choice.And it’s great that you’ve caused all this controversy. It makes us think!!!!
Squirl, don’t apologize! Be happy and proud that you’re able to cause all these feelings and controversy! We’ll stick around (:
Hi S.. I’ve been reading this story and also one of the silent readers. My comments are…first of all, HONESTY is a very important element in a relationship…Bette says that she moved on and she is totally head over heals in love with Helena and totally oooover TINA…. fine, then why does Bette gets really angry if Tina sleeps with Pam???…Why can’t she be honest by telling Helena the reason why Tina want Angel for dinner…to meet this new gal…Although it may sound too early for Tina to let Angel meet this amazing Pam…. especially they just met less than a week and she is not sure if this will be a long term relationship…but if tina feels there is something unique with this woman….why not give it a try… if not…it may result for the child’s confusion that her mom is jumping from relationship to another…not good for child’s development…Another thing….TINA is trying to move on… Why can’t Bette accept that…I understand if Bettes concern is about Angel being exposed to this Flings in TIna’s life, but, what right does Bette have to interfere with TINA being with a new lover anymore… I smell jealousy on Bette’s part… especially when T was expressing how awesome this Pam is…If she is happy with Helena, she should be happy that Tina will leave her alone and be just happy for her…About Helena… I just felt for that gal that she gave her all for Bette and Bette could not even tell her the simple thing that Tina wants Angel to meet her new date….that’s the truth..And I agree with helena that Bette should give herselt time to reflect & analyze what she really want in her life…she is sooo absorbed with her own happiness that she forgets that she is hurting the people who loved her…..She cannot just keep using Helena and leave her full of hurt…LAstly…Bette has a history of being a LIAR…remember the CARPENTER???? if Tina did not see it with her own eyes…when will BETTE tell her?… I realy feel sorry for helena.. after being in a relationship with TINA, and now with BETTE who is obviously still inlove wth Tina, if not…it’s not her business is Tina is having sex to whoever she wants and feel comfortable to. I’m so excited on the meeting of Bette and Pam….Bette will realized, that she is not the only person with the LOOKS and BRAIN that can capture Tina’s heart… and pls, DON’T make Tina sound desperate for Bette’s attention anymore, Let Bette experience the feeling of trying to win back the love of her life…so pls, pls, pls. pretty, pretty pls. post soon….tahnk you and Godd day!
Tina doesn’t deserve someone like Pam, she’s just using her. You don’t introcduce someone to your child you just met until you reach a rapport and meaningful feels for a long term relationship. Rau your right about Bette it’s a possessive thang. I’m not sure if Bette’s still in love with Tina or if it’s her bruised ego that is causing these feelings. I’m sure that if Helena was to walk into the Planet with another woman Bette would go off on Helena as she did with Tina. IMO Bette and Tina are just a like….they don’t mind hurting others to get what they want…maybe Helena and Pam should run far away from them and find each other.
This is WRONG! This is HORRIBLE! This just CANT happen! So yes, Bette is a little jealous and Helena is a little insecure but it can’t end this way. Tina can’t win, not like this. Bette needs to drop Angelica off and go find Helena and beg her forgiveness. Bette needs to committ herself to being honest about her feelings for Tina and then maybe Helena wouldn’t be so insecure about the situation. Just have Bette tell Helena flat out that Tina is making a hard play for her and trying to make her jealous and that though it’s having some impact Bette knows that her heart is with Helena. It is part of Bette’s personality that she feels a twinge of jealousy about Tina being w/ someone new (and Tina knows it). At this point if Bette doesn’t go after Helena i think that would be the most telling thing of all and might truly signal the end of HelBette. Come on Squirl, don’t let the drama rip Helena and Bette apart. Bette needs to express her love for Helena verbally, physically and any other way she can come up with (grand gesture time). PPS! (but only if it’s some much needed good news).
for such a smart woman, bette sure is dumb…boy, tina went ole school on her and b fell for it hook, line, and sinker…say it ain’t so…helena is the only one who keeps it real with b…b needs to stop trippin’ and step up and away from tina….yikes…excellent update…but you know i’m a belena lover, so make me proud in the next post…PLEASE!!!
I think it is monstrous how long tina has fucked with Bette, treating her horribly, and then when Bette finds happiness with someone else, starting up on her all over again, using Angelica, playing on her guilt..totally disrespecting her and her relationship and I think cheapening herself as well…so cheating is okay if Tina gets what SHE wants????…now Bette is being made to be the bad guy with Helena,and Tina is loving every minute of it. This is NOT LOVE..and BTW… Tina WAS loved and wanted and desired, by Bette. Bette wanted to be close in every way….TINA didn’t..Tina didn’t let Bette touch her, Tina didn’t want anything to do with Bette..Tina threw her out..now Tina needs to fucking leave Bette alone. At any rate, I won’t be reading or commenting any longer.
way to go Helena, Tina knows u well. Bette, Bette the green-eyed monster has you woman and yes you lied to Helena!!!! Why??? If it didn’t bother u who T was fucking then why get so angry and keep being angry…This is so real, neither B or T are perfect…and yes it was okay for Bette to mess around but it’s never alright for Tina????? My my my that sounds so macho-male culture to me. Like the little woman should be so grateful for crumbs from her man’s/Bette’s table and never turn the tables on Bette/the man. Tina had a right to explore her options after Bette’s infidelity and yes she did come home after the baby was born to try to be a family but even then Bette’s things were the most important so Tina got on with it, she got a job, she pumped her milk instead of enjoying the natural bonding experience with her baby which is so good for their emotional/psychological development and sense of security…Tina gave that up so Bette could WAIT for her dream job???!!!However Tina worked her way thru her anger, her disappointments, her hurt back to the original love for one Ms Porter & T KNOWS HER EX BETTER THAN ANYONE; SHE KNEW HELENA WAS ANOTHER distraction or just someone to stroke B’s ego or B needing to be in-love so she’s made the sexual attraction with Helena bigger than what it really is????…Helena is right to be mad at Bette. Bette truly needs to examine her motivations…Maybe she doesn’t want to do what it takes to really be in a solid monogamous relationship? Who knows but you the writer? So I welcome your take on this story. LOVE WHAT YOU R DOING HERE NO MATTER WHICH WAY IT TURNS OUT…
Okay…I just caught up on the previous chapter…Pam is some competition for Ms Porter & Tina might actually be going for this one methinks…but as Helena said quite correctly to Bette: “Just what you like, a new triangle to deal (or is it play?) with”. This is so real esspecially ‘the triangulation thing”. And having read the previous chaapter no one can say Tina delibererately manipulated the Pam situation to make Bette mad/jealous. Bette told her NO so T is trying to move on and what a nice, intelligent, attractive , grown-up person to move on with rather than the self-absorbed…X…ooh did i say that? Lol… y’all know i love bette but i don’t always like what she does and her lies to helena and herself stink…great story to make me comment so much..pps
S this chapter had so much pain for poor HElena cause Bette lied to her and BEtte is shy lying toherself is the question? Bette took so much from Tina and finally found a woman who never has lied to her, just wants love and honesty and to be with her and BEtte then flips when Tina wanted her, I think that Helena did the right thing and left BEtte. Bette needs to get her mind, heart and soul know what she wants and not to hurt anyone else and that is including herself..I do love Bette and HElena and hope they end up together,,,,great chapter S
what a great chapter!.. what is up with bette and lying to helena.did she really think that for one minute helena wasn’t going tp figure it out? please when will bette learn to STOP playing games. poor helena was used twice by tina and bette and secondly helena KNEW what shw as getting into when she started up with bette… tina and bette will always be in each lives as long as angelica is around. tina needs to ahve fun and get her feet back on the ground with pam, pam fully knows that tina doesn’t want a serious relationship. so there is much fun to be had… bette neeeds to go a buddist retreat again…so she can become more enlightened, LOLOL
NO NO NO NO NO!! There must be a mistake…!! You just didn’t…?!?… I have to reread… You just cannot… NOOOO!!! YOU DID!! You just did it… *snap* just like that…. ouch! *tries to swallow lump in throat* So much pain! Poor Hel! Why couldn’t Bette …? Why didn’t she..?? Words fail me, again, but this time for another reason… – But again: your writing is excellent!! Love the drama and I trust you, so tell your story and PPS!!!
Great story and dialogue. Tina has set Bette up but Bette is an easy target b/c she still has feelings for Tina. Maybe she can’t accept the fact that someone would be of a high enough caliber to interest Tina. Tina would have to have some feelings to sleep w/Pam. PPS.
Oh WOW! This was incredibly delightful. Can you say DRAMA???? Okay, well first I have to say that I feel for Bette. I agree that I would not want my young daughter watching video’s of Beyonce at such a young age. Sorry, but that’s just me. I would be very protective. The other thing is I am SOOOOO pissed that Tina would use her daughter against Bette. First off, I don’t blame Bette for feeling that Angelica doesn’t need to be exposed to all of Tina’s dates. If it were something really steady and serious, fine. However, Tina f*cks this woman on the first date, and then wants to bring her daughter into it too? That is bullsh*t. She is totally using Angelica, and that just pisses me off. She knew quite well that if she told Bette that she wanted Pam to meet Angelica, that Bette would hit the roof. Yet, she did it. She used her daughter to get to her ex lover. That is repulsive. GRRRR, I gotta tell you, you had my Italian up on this chapter Squirl. A sign of a brilliant writer to evoke such strong feelings. POST SOON!
Hello Squirl, I really am loving the drama you are bringing into this story, I really think that it is Tina that needs a reality check, she is using not only her new relationship but also Angelica against Bette and she should realize that this kind of treatment usually leads to resentment to both parents when a child becomes old enough to realize she has been treated like an object… as a tool. I am a firm believer that Bette should take some distance, go on a trip or something. Let both Tina and Helena deal with not having her presence, even a small portion of it available. I feel that Angelica would be the one to suffer, but I don’t think she would suffer as much as she is right know, children pick up on the tension between adults and they take it into themselves, I know it’s the cowards way out but I think Bette should take a sabbatical from work and leave, just a note telling both H and T that she needed some space to clear her mind. I think that this could add a new dynamic it would allow Tina to come to understand where Helena’s feelings come into play in this square that they are know a part of (hehe the new triangle) we have T – B, B – H, H – T, T – P. I absolutely love what you are doing and I cannot wait for what you have coming. Sincerely, JC
god woman your killing me, i literally have a knot in my stomach right now, i luv b&t together, but i also luv b&h together expecially in your story, don’t let tina get away with the mind games, have bette stand up for helena, she deserves it. great story!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a new commenter but I have been following your stories, I literally read this with tears in my eyes. All I have to say is PLEEEEAAASSEE don’t tell me this is the end for Bette and Helena. I love them together. I do think that Bette needs to take some time to think about what it is she really wants, I just hope that it is Helena. I hate that it seems like Tina is using Angelica against to Bette, I can’t stand how Tina is continually offering here bed to and Bette and how she is disrespecting Bette and Helena’s relationship by acting like it’s something as insignificant as some fling. I love your writing and can’t wait to read what’s next.
I dun knew this would happen lmao’ roll on the next chapter lol
Excellent update! And yes Bette lied, and Helena did the right thing. Bette will alway love a part of Tina that she will never be able too let go of. And as soon as she realised that she will be able to let go and move on. What she had with Tina was safe. It was like a black and white 50’s sitcome, the perfect script of how a family is suppose too be. But life isn’t just black&white is it? Bette needs to come too grips with her feelings and be honest about it. She can’t stand the fact that perfect little life she once had is no more. Now it’s time to live in techni-color and HD for you can see all the flaws of what life has to offer. As for Tina I’ll accept that she wants her safty net back, but I will not accept using your child as a tool for getting it. I myself believe it’s not the relationship she wants back, but the romance she thougth she had. You know a fairy tale that came true. But a reality check woke her from that dream. Maybe this was not her fairy tale romance but of what too come. Tina must accept that Bette is not her knight in shining armor. And Bette must get off her high horse and maybe ride the a** for awhile. Because she sure is acting like one. Lastly Helena must come to terms with her relationship with both Bette & Tina. She knows that Bette will always be loyal to Tina no matter how upset she gets with her. But she’s not in love with her. Bette is just missing the love she thought she had with her. I believe the feelings that Bette feels for Helena are on a totally different level which can be very scary at times. The veil has been lifted from Helena’s eyes and she knows what and who she wants, but will she wait for Bette to get out of her comfort zone and remove her veil as well. Maybe to see the love you have waited for all your life walk away give you the courage to remove that veil. For she is your past, your present & your furture. Excellent update! Sorry for the ranting, I couldn’t help it.
OMG it was great!!!!!! Helena did the right thing, I can’t wait to see what Bette will do next… btw I’m a sucker for drama so you can imagine how much I loved it PPS!!!
Squirl, this is a fantastic story, even though we don’t know where you’re taking it! Just keep telling it–all this dialogue is great–makes me feel like I’m on the discussion threads! lol It’s because it’s such a well-written story that you’ve captured the attention of the hard-core TiBetters! But of course, there will be dire consequences for you if it doesn’t have a happy TiBette endng! j/k Seriously, there is so much drama here, and right now, Tina is certainly not looking good with her manipulative tactics. At the same time, Bette is not being honest with herself, and thus not with Helena either. She’s guilty of the sin of omission while she’s in denial about her true residual feelings for Tina. I think she’s confusing her need to be in love with actually being in love with someone. She needs to just take some time to herself to clear her head and listen to her heart. But right now, she’s pissed off Helena and broken her heart–so terrible! And she’s gotta keep an eye on Tina, who is not being very responsible with her temper tantrum (breaking the glass), her dissing of the BeLena relationship, and her rushing the meeting of Angelica and Pam. I do want to see what happens between those two and hope that this will be a healthy relationship for her. Hope you post an update soon!
omg I feel so sorry for helena in this chapter. It is obvious that Bette is being an idiot. she has not earned the right to be with either woman at this point. I don’t blame Helena for leaving. I think Tina is being a manipulative bitch but what else is new! pps
Hey Squirl ! Wow ! This was a FANTASTIC chapter. I mean I really loved your previous chapter too, but this one was amazing. Love, love, love this kind of drama. And although Bette’s always been my favorite character on the show because of her complexity, I totally unbderstand Helena’s reaction here. It makes perfect sense. As for Tina, well, yes I guess she is manipulative, but truth is she’s been nothing but honest with Bette so far so I personally don’t blame her. In fact, I really do think that all is fair in love ( not so sure about war though . LOL !! ). Now, I realize I must be a terrible person, but I cnonfess I love Bette when she’s in so much turmoil, she’s such a fascinating character, isn’t she ? As for the path you’re going to chosse with thgis story, as a (dirty) bi-shipper I can’t say I have a preference and I’m confident you’re going to choose the option that makes the most sense to you storywise. You’re doing a great great job, Squirl. Please please please keep writing and don’t deprive us of your tremendous talent. Be assured that we’ll keep following this very enthralling story of yours.
Dayum girl! This story just gets better and better! There is so much drama, but it’s so real. Helena did the right thing. I just hate to see that girl hurt, but I’m sure it will work out. I love how the others in the group know that Bette is f**king things up w/Helena and want her to make it right. And Squirl, don’t worry about all the tears and rage. We die hard Belena fans just hate Tina, that’s all.
I almost feel like I need to apologize for illiciting all this rage and tears. Even my partner is mad and she knows how the story ends. I’ll have to read these comments later. If I say this will be a happy ending will that help.
Hoo boy. There’s a lot of… Tina’s being opportunistically manipulative, in a way, yes… but in another way, she *is* moving on… If she can see something in Pam that she wants to move forward with, then more power to her. Bette, on the other hand, hasn’t fully let go, and that’s a problem. It’s a problem for both of them. Helena deserves better, and it’s a good thing she’s removed herself from the situation, and hopefully more hurt, until Bette figures out what it is she wants. Great stuff, thanks for the post Squirl.
