The Flower Effect – Chapter 5 – Finale
CHAPTER 5
Tina pulled out of the Planet parking lot, and she started to formulate a plan in her mind as to what and how she would relay to Bette what the flowers and attached note had meant to her.
As she continued her drive, she thought back in time to a special night Bette had created for them in their back yard….could she pull off something as romantic and memorable for Bette? She knew she had to try. There was no way she was going to let Bette Porter go again. It had taken a long time to get to where they again found themselves and Tina Kennard was about to claim what was rightfully hers.
Back at CU
Bette was startled when she heard the knock on her door. As she swung her chair around, she was surprised to see Jodi standing there. Not sure what to sign or say, she looked apprehensively at Jodi.
Jodi asked if she could come in.
Bette signed yes, but must have had a cautious look on her face because Jodi responded quickly
“I just want to talk. Can we talk?”
“Sure, please, come in.” Came Bette’s reply. Slowly Bette walked over to the door and closed it as Jodi entered the office and sat down in a chair near Bette’s desk.
Bette walked back behind her desk and sat down. Not sure how to start the conversation, Bette asked Jodi how she was. After a brief pause Jodi had responded that she was doing ok. She went on to explain that she had decided to take an extended vacation, but wanted to first see Bette to apologize for what happened the night of the exhibit.
“Bette, I am sorry for what I did. I know it was very hurtful to you, and I’m sorry I let my anger at discovering you were fucking Tina behind my back rule my focus. I just didn’t understand how you could do that to me. You chased me all the way to New York last year, and begged me for another chance. You asked for monogamy, and I gave it to you. I moved back here to be with you, and have an exclusive relationship with you because that’s what you said you wanted. I did what you asked, and then I found out you were cheating on me behind my back. I was angry, and took that anger out on you. I wanted to hurt you and embarrass you in the same way that I had felt humiliated when I discovered what you were doing behind my back.”

Great job Taz. I know that you just put a smile on all the tibetters faces out there. I enjoyed this story. Lots of flowers and their meanings. Post something else soon, ok?
Loved this story and hate to see it end, would love to see more of this same story, surely it could be continued in more chapters. At any rate hope ou will give us another one of our girls. The info on all the flowers was much needed info. I’ve never known all that before and at one time needed it desperately with no help around. Could you give us one page with all flower meanings? I know that is a lot to ask, but?
WOW! I didn’t expect Jodi either but I’m glad she droped off the key and went on her way. Great way to end a great story it always warms my heart when these two make it. I would love to read more of your work.
Every thing seems to come to gether,when you put the bad behind and look for the good. Small thingsand llarge things will come up but with that good foundation. thanks
Excellent!!!!
I really enjoyed this story, and am sorry it came to an end, but what a delightful end!
Perfect! I hate to see your story coming to an end. Loved every chapter and look forward to anything you may write in the future…. an epilogue, perhaps??
YES!!!! You romantic nut you! LMAOOOO. I had a huge smile on my face when Ness told me you had posted. On the way home from Newport, I mentioned that I couldn’t wait to read the finale. I didn’t want to, but I did if that makes sense? I wanted to, because I know how happy I would be, and the justice you would do to the story. I didn’t want to read, because I knew it was the final chapter…. :- ( Yeah, I know… sap. LOL! I said it so you didn’t have to. You did a FABULOUS job in this, your very first story. You had me from the start, and I’m definitely looking forward to another story REAL soon. ** hugs ** we’ll talk soon.
this was great cant wait for more
This was a wonderfully written story and now that it’s over, I feel a little sad. I hope that you will continue to write more, I have enjoyed these so much. I have a real penchant for romance!
What a lovely and romantic ending! We truly enjoyed the story and hope you will come up with many more to share with us. This story was like having the most tasty dessert we could enjoy. Thanks for bringing joy to our TiBetter’s hearts. Sincerely, Lucero & Marsha – JC’s Salsa Aunties from Mexico City
This was truely a lovely, beautiful story about love and how love can continue to grow even though you are not with the one that holds your heart. I hope that you will continue to write Tibette stories.
Didn’t expect jodie at the door or for her to say she was sorry for her public lashing out episode…even happier that tina remember the sunflowers and finally was honest with bette…:) so do we get another story :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Looking forward to more.
5 gazillion stars for you! I have enjoyed this story very much. Tell me there’s another one brewing, please.:D
