When It All Became 14
Sitting alone in her office, Bette let herself engage in a private smile. She was finding herself falling into some new, surprisingly unknown, relationship with Tina.
Nothing came for free. This one came at the price of her relationship with Jodi, whatever that had become.
Ostensibly, she and Jodi remained together. They presented themselves as a couple. True, they were not a couple that lived together, but they had never lived together. Jodi’s need for space, to create, probably guaranteed that they would not live together. Not in the confines of Bette’s house, anyway. Bette was not ready to move to an art space like Jodi’s.
Whatever she was feeling for Tina was not a subject that Bette had yet decided to address with Jodi.
Jodi. The woman who had warned Bette that she’d better not break her heart. The woman who’d resigned her job to keep Bette from having to wade into the center of a controversy.
How could Bette just walk away from such a woman?
But was this situation really so unique? Bette could feel a beginning, a fresh beginning with Tina. These feelings were strong. So strong.
The feelings reminded Bette of when it all became obvious that Tina had become a substantial part of her life.
This was back when she had broken up with Alice, yet the two of them remained, as Alice would say, in “best, best friend” mode.
Tina was starting to get noticed at Alphaville for the work that she was doing. Producers were beginning to draw on her talents and creativity for developing their projects.
Things were also changing for Tina in her private life. Bette was certain that she scared Tina in many ways, she was also certain that the blonde woman felt for Bette much as Bette knew she felt for Tina. She knew that the two of them were growing closer in so many ways. The two of them were growing to need each other.
Bette’s thoughts went back to a time, a day, when she and Tina were new.
Not just any day, though, Valentine ’s Day. A day that included an unexpected visitor.

I love the way you reflect back on their relationship and mirror the past with the present. I always love your stories. So happy VD to you! Thanks for this.
Love your stories. Happy VD!
HOw can you not love these two. Great story as usual . Its always been Tina for Bette and visa versa. The road has just been a bit bumpy along the way.
love your writing. sorry for not commenting enough.thanks for giving us a VD post on tibette :)
So good as always. I don’t always comment but I always read your work. Thank you for sharing your beautiful stories.
Thanks for the Valentine’s post. I’m loving all your stories and frequent post though I’ve slacked on commenting. This was so sweet and perfect for today. Happy VD, pseud!
so beautiful…”Now was the time to move forward…To reclaim what she had lost.” to reclaim Tina :)
That was cool. I liked the past/present stuff. And, thanks for not including tons of BS about Jodi.. I’m so over her on the show that I hate her long entanglement in fun fanfiction land. Cool to see how Bette and Tina started out.. very sweet.
sweet.. just have that to say.. and thanks
fantastic. and i love mush. thx
:D
That was possibly the laziest comment ever. Sentiment is still the same, but I’ll make it wordier: I really enjoyed that, pseud. thanks
nice one…
Loved this chapter and love the way you are showing glimpses of the past and what was going on. Sort of a comparison to now. Only now is better since they have come thru the fire and emerged whole and still in love as much and maybe more than before. They have learned from their mistakes and also that everyone has flaws of some kind, you just have to love them with the flaws and get through it. PPS
Go Bette…take your life back….say goodbye to Jodi and go get Tina! Nice story.
I see that Bette is day dreaming about Tina just as the Tibette fans are day dreaming about them. This is a wonderful tale of hope.
So heart-warming. :)
”remove her fears by confronting them head-on.” – sounds like they’re getting ready for a head-on collision… ;-)
Loved it!!
It was a perfect VD story. I wish Bette would just go for who she loves and stop worrying so much.
Man, this story gave me goosebumps. The way you write these two is utterly amazing.
