Tina squinted in the bright late morning sunlight and wished she’d remembered her sunglasses on the short walk to the convenience store. She turned the corner toward the entrance to her building and stopped dead. Bette stood not more than ten yards away, Tina was close enough to hear Bette swear under her breath when the buzzer she’d pressed went unanswered. The blonde knew that Bette was impatient at the best of times but when agitated, as she clearly was, her ability to wait for anything was non-existent.
“Bette.” Tina said quietly, having closed the distance between them. The brunette spun around quickly at the sound of her name.
“Tina, I…” Bette began but wasn’t sure where really to start with everything she needed to say to the woman in front of her.
“I was out of milk.” Tina said, raising her left hand to shield her eyes from the glare as she briefly raised the milk container in her right.
“Can I come in?” Bette asked as she waived an arm in the direction of the secure front door to Tina’s apartment block.
“I’m not really in the mood for company right now.” Tina said quietly as her gut twisted uncomfortably. If Bette was here in the capacity she suspected, Tina knew she didn’t have the emotional fortitude to bear what was to come.
“T, please.” Bette pleaded in a quiet voice, “I really need a chance to explain to you.”
Tina’s stomach tightened painfully. “Is she what you want, Bette?” Tina asked, her voice barely above a whisper as she fought to steady her emotions. Despite herself she had to ask, she had to know. Her tears would not be kept at bay and they spilled onto her cheeks.
“I only want you.” Bette replied before she closed the distance between them and gathered Tina in her arms, holding the blonde as tightly as she could, “Only you, T.”
Bette’s heart broke as Tina openly wept against her shoulder. Yet again, she was the one causing Tina so much pain. Her actions, her choices were what caused the woman she loved such immense sadness.
“I’m so sorry, Tina.” Bette said, unable to do anything but hold her girlfriend in the hope that it might help to sooth her.

I wouldn’t have forgave Bette so esily!Bette needs to grow up.
Finaly Bette steps up…love this update just wish you could post more often :)
That was awesome and glad everything are clear now. Ok now let them talk more and get back together already lol. Please post more, thanks!
have been waiting for an update,and what an update..yeesssssss.please post soon
Thank goodness that Abby is HISTORY, and thank goodness that TIBETTE IS ON THE ROAD TO REDISCOVERY.
Hmm. What if Abby does see her again? Bette’s the one that reopened that door with Abby… Granted, Bette only opened it because she felt so rejected by Tina –somewhat rightly so– in the first place. These problems they’re having all seem to boil down to them not trusting each other, and they need to seriously work on that. I really am just enamoured of your writing and how it makes me get so *into* a story. Thanks for the chapter, and post when you can, HG.
There’s more to come right? Please?
Phew, I thought Bette was never going to talk to Tina and really lay her feelings and fears out there. I am thrilled that they are communicating. Abby better hope she runs far far away.
Bette lied to Tina about being at school working, didn’t she? She was with Abby at the restaurant on the side of the cliff- in her arms, kissing her, SUCH A LIAR. So you know that Abby will be telling Tina, bye bye Bette. Tina let her go.
By the way I love the ideal of Tina dating Helena.
YEAHHHHHHHH…….Amazing what happens when this two talk….Great update now let the fire works start.
Oh I have been so waiting for this! Thank you! Please post soon!!!
i believe they need to cement this with some good old Tibette loving…now would be perfect. pps
I am with Tina. By now I just don’t understand Bette and I am beginning to not trut her either. It seems to take very little to send her on a “date” with others when she claims to be so in love with Tina. Her explanations didn’t seem to hold much water. Quite strange.
I didn’t realize that I’d been holding my breath….That was so close to the end again…..god they need sex and now!!!!
talking can be so scary. conjure all these scenarios. when if you just talked it might be better than you think. this was great as always. thx
OK….now they can make up the right way. Then Bette can tell Abby to F off pps
Will Bette come clean about kissing Abby too? What if she slept with Abby on their date? Will she confess that too and offer another list of lame excuses? Bette deliberately went on a date with her ex. She knew the possible consequences and yet she still went on with it. If I were Tina I’d be really emotional and wary to trust her again. Is this a shaky relationship or what? I’ve been a silent reader of this story, Hackgirl, and I have to say I’m really disturbed by Bette’s recent behavior. I even thought this might turn out to be one of those rare B&T fics without a happy ending, which is fine with me because you’re writing it in such a believable way. With or without a storybook ending, thank you for this update, for sharing this fic, Hackgirl! :>
Hey Hack-Gal, I could kiss you right now for this honest and hopeful chapter in the adventure that is Bette and Tina. It was sweet to see Bette making the first move and finally showing her vunerability to Tina. In this case, Tina did hold all the cards. Bette’s confession was touching and heartmelting, especially afer Tina broke down first. The gals were there together, comforting and support each other through this minefield of emotions and hurt. Abby made a serious error in gunning for Bette and trying to ward off Tina. Loved that Helena was the one to kick Bette up the butt and make her admit the mistake she was making. I do hope that these gals can finally unburden themselves of the shackles of the past and enjoy the present and future together. Yes, there will be misjudgments and miscalculations in the future but commmunication is key to sharing and caring. Hack, I just adored this chapter. Thank you so much for righting this wrong. Much appreciation and gratitude to you, From Your Loyal Fan.
i was on the edge of my seat the whole time…finally bette is being honest and i hope they both will kick abby’s a**…thank you
Oddly enough I blame Tina for this entire recent mess that our favorite couple finds them in. Bette seemed to be rolling along just fine up until Tina slapped her down after the move. I know that they’ll work things out, but I feel badly the Bette is always the one groveling. It’s just not right. Really enjoying the story. pps
I really love this story- not sure if I have told you that before. you are truly great writer. I feel like I’m watching them in a scene. Please post more soon!Thanks!
