Wreckless Love, post 15
As much as she tried to pretend that the waiting wasn’t agony it was. Would Bette change her mind? Was the allure of the forbidden responsible for the resurgent attraction? Was that what Bette had found with Candace? Bette assured her that she had searched her heart and that what she felt for her was love. She wanted to believe this was more than an affair for Bette. Her heart was sure but her mind tortured her.
She was even more deeply in love with the brunette than she had been the first time around. How had Bette taken her confession? She had laid all her cards on the table. She was as open and vulnerable as she had ever been in her life. This woman was her life. The conversations were all that kept her going. Bette would call and they would talk late at night like in the old days. She was tired the next morning yet she would not trade sleep for the sound of that voice in her ear as she lay in her bed. She found the energy to get through the days so nourished by the quiet assurances their conversations gave her.
Bette had said that she was a coward, neither of them wanted to hurt Jodi yet she would become a casualty and there really was no help for that. She offered a silent prayer to the God of her understanding to forgive her… to forgive them, for inadvertently hurting another. Bette had said it the other day…the love that they shared was not finished. She had said it herself when she was rejected by Sam who she invited out for dinner not really wanting anything more than company when Sam shot her down.
She had tried to explain that what they felt for one another was bigger and stronger than either of them. It caught them by surprise she had tried to argue; but Sam was not interested. She realized that Sam was right. She had no business dragging Sam any further into the drama unfolding than she already had. Sam was the furthest thing from her mind when she was ready to take Bette in Jodi’s kitchen. Sam did not factor into her thinking at all.
So she waited.
*
Tina put her foot down after the aborted therapy session due to the rolling blackouts and refused to see her again until the day of the Pink Ride for the Cure. Bette could tell without turning the moment Tina arrived she felt her as warm as an embrace.
She turned to find Shane, Alice, Tasha and Tina rolling their bikes towards the spot where she and Jodi waited for the start of the race.
“Hey” Bette greeted them all with voice and sign, her eyes greeting them all as well, yet lingering for a moment with Tina. It occurred to her in that moment that all the time they were apart and even in the worst of times a look shared between them communicated so much more than words ever could.

The day is upon them, will Bette get the chance to end things with Jodi or will Jodi put two and two together?
Thrilled that you are writing whether for you or the masses. We are enjoying the ride as well. Thank you and I hope you never tire of writing about “our girls.”
Jodie is hearing inpaired Not blind. Shecan see,and when she asked Tina what was wwrong with Bette she knew. Bette needs to sto being a coward and get her affairds in order. thanks
The eyes always tell the truth as far as Bette and Tina are concerned. I never got the feeling that jodi uses her eyes to communicate with. She uses her other senses and hands but not her eyes.
That was good!
yeah I’m with u cpq but remember B used to not see what was right in front of her and in so many ways Jodi=Bette as she used to be. Loving this a lot K and sure am with u on needing that regular TiBette fix.
Jodi is not stupid she knows what is happening she just refuses to acknowledge it. She really fell in love with Bette but she knew that Bette would always be in love with Tina and she never had a real chance of having Bette for ever. Tina needs to hang in there and everything will be resolved after the ride pain and all. PPS
lets get this ride and jodie over and done with so we can get some bette and tina lovin’, hehe.. nice update! :)
so it all hits the fan this week huh? I agree with some other readers, Jodi must know that someone is going on. She is deaf not blind. I love your take on the situation. A late night phone call would have been nice to see on the show. thanks for the title. It’s my favorite song on Alicia’s latest cd.
It is always a good morning when I can wake up and read a chapter by Kelika! Thanks!
In a way I think that Jodi is the one hiding from the truth. I feel that Jodi refuses to see what is right in front of her. I am sure that her ex picked up on something between B&T at that dinner and may have mentioned it to her. She has to sense something (going on the theory, that when one of your senses are impaired the others are highten), but just don’t want it to be true or believe it.
Kelika, I can’t wait for more from you in this one…it’s so good. I love your take on the episodes as they progress!
Thanks K, this just keeps getting better!!!
