“Bette, this is a pleasant surprise!” Abby smiled at the unexpected pleasure of finding her girlfriend paying an unanticipated visit.
Abby didn’t wait for a response before ushering her girlfriend into her condo and brushing her lips lightly over Bette’s, “Does this mean I have your undivided attention this evening?”
“If that’s what you want.” Bette said before smiling at the woman in front of her.
“It would be, very much so.” Abby confirmed before leaning in to kiss Bette again, this time with a little more passion.
“I’m afraid you may feel differently when you hear what I have to tell you.” Bette insisted as she eased herself away from the temptation of Abby’s mouth on her neck.
“And what would that be?” Abby replied in a way that ensured Bette knew she would much rather still have her lips on Bette’s skin.
“I did something that I’m not proud of.” Bette said and watched Abby’s look of mock indignation shift into something far more uncomfortable. “I never meant for it to happen. The last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you. It’s not something that I ever wanted to have to tell you, but you deserve to know the truth.”
Abby bit her lower lip and lowered her head before shaking it from side to side. “I warned you about her.” She said with a quiet resignation. Bette’s silence, her lack of rebuttal only served to confirm Abby’s suspicions “You told me you knew what you were doing.”
“I…I’m so sorry. I never meant for it to happen.” Bette offered by way of explanation.
“But somehow you let it happen.” Abby interjected coldly.
Bette watched as her lover turned away as though she had been struck. She watched Abby pace to the other end of the room, when she hit the end she didn’t turn back, instead she just stood there frozen and Bette was left to wonder what emotions were running across her face.
“Abby?” Bette ventured as she took a step closer. Her heels clicked loudly on the polished floorboards of the lounge room.
“Don’t” Abby warned in a tone which made the hairs stand on the back of Bette’s arms.

I feel bad for Abby. I still like her character and would have liked for her relationship with Bette to continue.
I’ve been partial to your new character from the start and can’t help but feel for her. Thank you for your note and for this impeccably written and well framed chapter.
All this pain that Bette and Tina are still causing each other. The best thing for them to do is to cause each other less pain by dating each other and putting one foot in front of the other to the path of reconciliation.
Feel bad for Abby but this is B&T and hope they will talk more and work thing out and get dating. Anyway please post more, thanks!
I truly feel Bette’s pain. It’s because of your skill at delineating the dilemma. Not everyone can do that well enough to be believable. Thanks for coming back to this story!
You’re no hack, girl.
Bette wanted to date both of them at once? WTF gross D:
HG, what a wonderfully human and honest exchange. Both Abby’s attempt to be magnanimous through her sadness and Bette’s regret and hope. Well done!
I love this update!
Beautifully heartwrenching! Well done.
Poor Abby, she’s done nothing to deserve any of that, and she’s still gracious about it. I do hope she finds the right one for her, it just was never going to be Bette. Thanks for the great post, HG.
Man, Bette seemed like the same asshole that cheated on Tina with the whole “I’d like to date both of your routine.” But sadly, it kinda looked like she regretted the Tina thing more quickly than she did with Candace. That saddens me. I hope that is wrong. I never cared for Abby so her gallant effort at looking proud at the end couldn’t change it. Although, I guess she deserves someone who isn’t trying to date other women. PPS.
ballsy ms. porter, but what a shock. loved that you wrote this. more please. thx.
Hello HG, What a slice of honest, home grown truths for Bette to shew on. Good that she was open and truthfull about sleeping with Tina. Bad that she want both women at her beck and call. Talk about having you cake and eating it. Abby knows where Bette’s heart lies even if Bette is too pig-headed to see the wood from the trees. Abby did the admirab;e thing. Walked away with her head held high and her honor intact. Shame about the adolescent attitude on Bette’s part. I hope that Abby’s honest words give Bette the epiphany she so desperately needs. Tina is the other half of Bette’s soul. They just belong to and with each other. I want this to be a turning point in Bette’s life. Turning her towards Tina and where she needs to be. Please make it so and make it soon although I do think that Bette needs to grovel and prove to Tina that she has grown up and can share more of the decision making of their partnership. I do pray for this and want Season 5 to offer it. Please make it so. Your Loyal Fan.
good for abby to understand and let bette go, now it’s bette turn to get things right with tina
