Bette lay in that state between sleep and wakefulness, not sure if she was dreaming the delicious things that she was feeling. The sun warmed her face and her nude body was warmed with kisses and caresses, moving, opening, accepting, shivering with pleasure.
She raised the sheet barely covering her and saw Candace smiling at her. She pulled Candace up and with her hands on Candace’s head, kissed her fiercely. They lay together and Candace looked into Bette’s eyes, seeing the wonder of having this woman, this beautiful woman, in her arms, in her bed, in her heart. “I am so happy to have you here,” Candace whispered. Bette smiled, and then became lost in that simple statement. “I am so happy to have you here,” yet it was not Tina who was telling her this. She loved Tina, didn’t she, did she? Tina loved her, didn’t she? Did she? Why wasn’t Tina saying this to her? Tears filled Bette’s eyes as she slipped away, “hey, where’d you go? Bette knew she had done such wrong by being with Candace, not only to Tina but to herself and Candace too. “I’m sorry, I have to go,” Bette said quietly. “I am so sorry, Candace, this is all wrong. I have to go, and I can’t see you anymore.” Candace was stunned, not knowing where this was coming from. “Bette, what is it? What’s wrong? You can talk to me, you know, what is it? Why are you…?” “Please, Candace, don’t make this harder, I just have to go” and Bette rose from the bed, gathered her clothes and went into the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror, and the reflection of who she thought she was, but a woman with eyes languid from fulfillment of pleasure and yet sad, the swollen lips and marks on her skin from the love she had made with Candace, stared back. She touched her lips, her neck, her breast. Is this who she was? She dreaded leaving the bathroom and seeing Candace’s reaction to her. How could she have done this to her? Candace didn’t deserve this. It was true that she had initiated that first kiss in Bette’s office, but she only offered, she didn’t force, and had asked Bette for permission. That kiss, so tentative at first, and then so hungry, had blown Bette’s already fragile world apart. “It seems odd that just a kiss would give me everything I have been starving for, from someone I barely knew, but it did, it touched me to the bottom of my soul. It was the look in her eyes, like she was reaching inside me and holding my heart in her hands, her gentle, loving hands. “

Well Miss Caeleigh, you’ve come back. Good to see you even though it’s not exactly what I asked for. I’ll forgive you, especially as I think you’re working your way there. Cause you know it makes sense.
This was very very powerful I would not have thought that it was possible, more than three years after these events took place, to add any new aspects to consider. Yet, although I have spent far more time thinking about the “whys” of B&T that I would ever want to calculate, you had new insights. Surprisingly. I had never thought of Bette’s “otherness” as the mother of a Caucasian child or that perhape Bette, as well as Tina, lost herself in their relationship. I am going to have to think about season one and your idea that Tina did not comfort Bette’s fears. Thanks for writing this, for writing it so well, and bravely tackling this very difficult subject.
Very good analysis about the biracial issue. I felt it was a rejection of Bette of sorts when Tina said she did not want a biracial child. I thought that was such a slap in the face for Bette. If they could have had this dialouge we would all be routing for them to have baby # 2 at this point. Good job.
Great story Caeleigh. It is good to see the stroy through your eyes.
hey hey, sorry i missed this one before:) way to validate the canbette connection…hot and intellectually stimulating, my two absolute favorite things in a story. tina’s issues with race were always my big problem with their pairing…she could figure s*** out, but to be fair, bette needs work by season 5 as well. actually, she coulda gone further into her relationship with candace for just that very reason, rather than playing so badly for both sides. great contribution to the writing contest!
So I’m slack and behind on posting a comment here, but better late than never right??? Beautifully written. I think the hardest part sometimes with writing Bette is that she is, in fact, human, and too many times that small detail seems to be forgotten. And I agree with the above comment, pain is a two-way street. I also think you did a brilliant job in walking that fine line between making Bette sound whiny and a victim, and her expressing her pain and accepting responsibility while asking for Tina to do the same. Well done! :)
you make some very good points in this story cae…there could have been more dialogue between bette and tina on the show…i like the scene in the planet when they actually left them to talk…too much was done on the show for dramatic effect and no followup was done which left us haging with questions. please continue.
Hello Caeleigh, that was absolutely brilliant, that is how I would have loved to see the show take this storyline, showing the vulnerabilities of not only one person but both people in a relationship. Pain isn’t a one way street, it usually comes from other pain . This was completely brilliant, you have a passionate soul, just beautiful. Sincerely, JC
