Kit finally saw Bette approaching and urgently waved her closer.
“Tina just left with that woman,” Kit said. “I tried to tell her you wanted to talk to her and she said you should call her cell if it was important.”
“She left?” Bette asked. “I thought they were going to keep dancing.”
“Well maybe they’re going home for a more private dance, so get on your phone and call her to keep it from happening,” Kit encouraged.
“I was gone 10 minutes,” Bette muttered as she pulled her phone from her purse. “God Damn it! The battery is dead!”
“Bette, relax,” Kit said. “Use my cell to call her. She’s probably still in the parking lot.”
“Do you have her in your contacts?” Bette pleaded.
“It’s a new phone; I haven’t updated all my contacts yet,” Kit replied, perplexed at the question.
“I don’t know her cell number. I just scroll to her name and hit talk. Fucking technology bites me in the ass.”
“Well if you don’t figure something out, someone else might very well be biting Tina’s ass,” Kit said with a tone. “I told you not to put it off.”
“Yes, and ‘I told you so’ is exactly what I need to hear right now,” Bette was almost beside herself. She couldn’t just give up. Not now.
“I’m going to see if by some chance they’re still here,” Bette strode toward the exit. “Think positive thoughts for me.”
“You got it,” Kit replied.
Bette saw the shimmer of her dress before she saw Tina. As chance would have it, Brenda was speaking with someone and Tina was beside her holding her hand.
“Tee,” Bette placed her hand on her shoulder. “I’m glad I caught you.”
Tina turned as the sensation of Bette’s hand against her skin sent a shiver through her. She soon disentangled herself from a conversation she wasn’t really involved with to speak with her obviously distraught ex-partner.
“Bette, what’s wrong?” Tina asked.
“Are you going home with her?” Bette asked once they were out of earshot of Brenda and her friend.
“Bette we’ve gone over this,” Tina sighed. “I like her. We’re getting to know each other. You don’t need to know anything else.”
“Well before you go, can I share something with you?”

What should she do? She should phone Brenda and take the implants out for a test run, play a little doctor, etc., that’s what she should do! Bette’s gonna be moping around for who knows how long. Make her wait. Give her 17 reasons why tractors aren’t sexy. Tina should go the guilt-free badoinkidoink. She’s got the rest of her life, should she choose, to be wrapped up in Betteness.
Dammit :) This is not what I thought would happen. I’ll just wait for Bette’s next move. Or is it gonna be Tina’s? Thanks for posting.
Had no ideal what would happen, Bette is the one to do it.She broke up with Candace one morning ang went looking for Tina to take her back, now she is doing the same thing again. She need to get her life together. Then try to date Tina and stop thinking only of Iwant for Bette thanks
LMAO I thought Soapy meant to removed Brenda’s implants and play with them. XD Well hopefully Bette didn’t find a “distraction.”
I’m glad Bette was honest. Yeah, it comes off like it could be manipulative but she should follow it up by telling Tina she knows what she wants..and is waiting to see if it can happen. It would have been worse to see Tina..and let her think she was still with Jodi until Alice dropped the bomb when Tina was already with Brenda. Brenda seems cool.. and for that I hope Tina stays away from her because we all know that people in the middle of TiBette are just people they are passing the time with who will likely get crushed. So, yeah, I actually like what you had Bette do here. Be honest. Let Tina make her own decisions.
I understand. Bette is sitting on a bar stool, sipping her martini, distracted by counting the number of Jimmy Choo’s? It’s distraction by fashion!! At least I hope so. (BTW, when I read DropTheSoap’s comment, I thought ths last word was “BetteMess,” which is kinda fitting. In the nicest possible way, of course.) Thanks for another great chapter.
Wonderful quote! I know exactly where it is from, and it has touched me every time I hear it. What will Tina do? Well, here is another quote that will give away my age, “I’m leavin it up to you ou ou, you decide what you’re going to do.” – Donny Osmond LOL Thanks!
Interesting, interesting, Ms. Swimmie. Rather than going for the quick fix we’ve got reunion delayed? Destracted? Belayed? Hmm.
I like Brenda…BUT…I hope Bette doesn’t get trashed and agro…no suggestions of where to and how to this time…I’ll leave it to the expert…but more soon plz.
Great post!
i think bette should pay tina a visit…just in case ;)
its always wonderful that your stories give us people actually thinking before they leap. just love it as always. but wonder what your gonna do with us. thx
Oh damn…now Bette’s going to think that Tina spent the night with Brenda. More misunderstanding between them. I hope Bette isn’t going to get drunk and pick someone up for a one night stand. Hopefully Kit will be there to steer her straight! Great update JKS!
i see drama.. Tina should call Bette at least.. otherwise Bette will get the wrong msg of what she saw..
Damn, damn, damn! The “Next post by this author” link doesn’t work! Damn, damn, damn!
Wow. a drunk Bette is never a good Bette…
Since I know you thrive on plot points, here’s one from me. Bette should go from the obtuse c_ _ k-block to the full-out interception: She needs to get herself over to Tina’s with the objective of laying in the bed between them if need be. Never say die!!! Any woman who would drive a tractor pulling a sign has no shame anyway. Go for it, Bette!
I hope that Bette is not in the Planet picking some one up. I know that Tina is trying to do what is best for her, Angie and for Bette. My vote is for them to make up and date each other.
Noooooooo Lamentapotato…. Brenda’s chesticles should stay where they’re currently implanted and Tina should take a wander through the mountains. Maybe Bette can spelunk to find her in a few weeks or so.
Damm good post.
Bette’s timing is i dunno crazy.manipulative a bit did she think tina would leave with her. tina is not going to blow off brenda just bette had some revelation here…isee bette is still running and playing games, she needed to say more than that to tina… why does she always leave tina is this spot to fix everything??? this is not what i was expecting… but a great chapter and kudos for bette finally speaking up… :)
Thanks for writing.
I don’t expect Brenda, the BBBW, to hear from Tina again either. Heheh :P I think Bette did the right thing…and Tina did the right thing…and now you gotta do the write thing… :) Thanks, swim!
Great update. Looking forward to more.
I didn’t think you would take the easy route and have them reconcile so quickly. Where’s the fun in that ? Alright, I’m buckled in for ride JKS. Let the drama ensue. PS
I really like where you took this chapter, especially the bit where Bette put it out there and left Tina to decide. Nice going! But seriously though, we need more.
Bette thinks she is giving Tina free information, but she doesn’t tell Tina she still loves her nor does she say she wants to figure out where to go from there. Bette needs to pull her head together and decide if she is really ready to sacrifice for Tina and Angelica.
Okay, I know I’m a little late, but I’m going to leave a comment anyways. Why did Bette just leave like that after telling Tina that she broke up with Jodi?? Did she want Tina to feel sorry for her??? Anyways, thanks for the update…
That was good, well she should call Bette and have a talk!
