If You Never Say Anything to Me
Chapter 12
Sitting there at the table with Tina was hard. We had both played off that we had never met one another so when Alice asked what she did for a living and she told her, it became even more uncomfortable. She talked in circles, never looking at me but answering Alice. Her friend Shane looked familiar to me and as we talked, we knew a lot of the same women. That wasn’t the most comforting thought either.
Tina looked really uncomfortable and I wanted to say something to her but Alice would have picked up on it immediately. Two women came and asked Tina to dance. My blood pressure was probably at a dangerous point until she turned them down and they walked off. Shane asked if I danced. Before I could answer, Alice piped in that I loved to dance. Shane said Tina did too so maybe I would dance with her since she didn’t dance. That was not going to happen.
Gabby came to our table and Alice, who I had no idea if they were on or off this week, started to smile. I guess my answer was on. They got up and walked to the dance floor without a word to us. Shane also had her eye on a woman and told Tina she would be right back. Tina looked after her as she walked away as if she had something to say but it wouldn’t come out. We were alone. I had thought about this. I had dreamed about this. Now that it was happening, I had no idea what to do. I must have really been deep in thought because when I looked up, Tina was sitting there like she was waiting for me to say something. Maybe I had heard her but was too deep in thought.
“I’m sorry. What did you say?” I can’t believe I was so distracted that I missed something coming out of her mouth.
“I said that I never would have come out with Shane tonight had I known you were going to be here. I’m sorry.”
“Tina, there’s no reason to be sorry. Thanks though for not letting on we know one another. Alice would have had a field day with that one.”

I think that I need to get a theaphist that is as hot as Tina is.I hope Bette gets referred elsewhere so Tina can explore her feelings for Bette without guilt.
Awwwwwww, I felt Bette’s breaking heart. Hope they can work things out. PPS!!
i didnt expect bette to take a chance like that… but i applaud her for it
I was slow to scan down to see if there was another post…settling for this one! Happy! Very much so! Keep ’em coming! (G was a good thing – just remember that) :)
glad g will be with family members. i’ m so glad that tina remains true to her profession and didn’t answer bette’s questions… even if bette does switch i still think that tina will “help” bette without her knowing.. therapists are just like that, without making seem like a session! :)PPS awesome update!
Sorry that G is leaving but as you said he will be living with relatives that hopefully will love him as much as you have fallen in love with him. A new therapist is the right move for both Bette and Tina. This way they both can move forward with their relationship outside of the office. This is the correct step, now I hope that Tina will allow herself to let go and actually go with her feelings that she has for Bette. Bette has already put her feelings out there.
Interesting chapter!!!! i can’t believe that Bette lefted a message for Tina telling her about her feelings.I would have never have thought that she would have done something like that. I hope that Bette gets a new therapist so that Tina does not feel restricted by her job. :)PPS
Sorry that you are losing G, His smile you will remember for a long time. Bette needs to get a new Therapist,then if Time wants to see her, it will not hurt Time and her work. Bette can get her issues under comtrol. Thanks for posting
Wow NAG, you are a pretty special person, as it takes a special person to be a foster Mom. I know that you’ll miss G, but feel free to use us as solace. I’m totally willing to read anything and everything that you pump out! Great chapter by the way. I’m glad Tina made the right decision…and so did Bette.
yes Bette definitely needs a new therapist…love the multiple post
NAG, so sorry that baby G is leaving you but as you said he will be with relatives that hopefully wil love him as much as you had come to love him. Just remember that little toothless smile that he so freely gave at 2:00 in the morning. I agree with everything that toby4ever said, you are very special to share your life with children that need your special love and help to get them thru the adversity they face. As toby said feel free to use us as solace, anytime. This was a wonderful chapter and Bette did make a bold move leaving the message for Tina. Tina will be able t hear the nuances in her voice and know that the message is heartfelt and sincere. Hopefully this will enable Tina to make the decision to see Bette personally and socially. We know what a time she’s gonna have is she follows her heart. Love the chapter and post when you can. spend as much time with baby G as you can before he leaves so you will have stored memories of him. Special hugs and kisses to him from all of us.
Let the games begin! Will be thinking of G and you too, as I’m sure you’ll be missing him.
Brilliant – now hopefully Tina will open up to Bette.
Glad that Bette took the initiative.
I know that a child’s smile can make you melt. I have two 15 and 13, but when they smile somethime I still melt. This was a Great Chapter and I agree with Audi. Thank you PPS
I think the new therapist is a good move for Bette.. that way she can continue to work on her issues but still see Tina if the social setting comes up. Can’t wait for more.
I am so very proud of Bette by putting her feelings out there. Can’t wait for the next post.
Rau, I’m not much of a drinker, but I do know drinks – a crown and coke is whiskey and coke, crown royal….Hmmm, looks like another night of pure hell wondering what T’s reaction to the brief encounter w/ B & subsequent message will be, glad that B had the strength to not drink & make the call!….PPS & Thx ;)
Bette had bravely laid down her cards. It might take longer for Tina to process her feelings. I think Bette seeing another therapist would be their best way out of any ethical/professional impediment. Hope you’ll enjoy little G to the max before he leaves. May G’s future be even brighter than his smile. Thanks, NAG! :>
I’ve been a foster mom; sometimes its not so easy…love doesn’t cure all the baggage many bring…babies are definitely easier than any child over 9 months I found…it’s a bloody tragedy what has happened to some children and it takes a saint to have patience with many…my heart goes out to them.
Yes! good for Bette. get another therapist and get Tina to her place;)
Perfect! :) (But, omg, I can’t believe G is leaving!)
duh! what is a crown and coke???? Liked where u’ve got them to. So happy for baby G. Know exactly what u mean about the 12 year olds and it gets worse…my friend had such a bad day at school today with 15 year olds…hell on legs. PPS
i sure hope tina gets her someone who is good… and hopefully they can start seeing each other… i wonder how tina will react to the message… will she be happy of sad… i think a little bit of both…PPS
Wow! I just caught up on the past three fantastic chapters! This was wonderfully written – I found myself squirming in my own chair as I read about their mounting level of discomfort at the bar. I’m so proud of Bette for her bold action with the message to Tina. I hope we get to see Tina’s reaction to the encounter as well… Hope all goes well with the transition of the little guy…
good post. I think Bette has to right idea but I somehow don’t think it will go that way.
Love the way you played that out and look forward to Tina’s reaction to Bette’s message. A new therapist is definitely the next step.
