Don’t Say a Thing – Ch 5
Chapter 5
Bette swallowed hard and gathered every ounce of restraint she had in her. She pushed Tina way lightly, holding her at arm-length. She couldn’t stand being so close to her, she couldn’t stand the scent of her ex-lover that had never left her memory nor her heart.
“Tee… I’m not sure if that’s a good idea.” Bette saw the disappointed look on Tina’s face and her heart broke just a little bit more. “Listen, you have to know… I would love. There’s nothing more I want to do right now, but I can’t. Everything is different now. You have a family, Tee. You have a beautiful little daughter that would be heart-broken if her parents were to break up. You have husband that you are committed to, you exchanged vows… I know what that means to you. I know your loyal nature and I don’t want you to make an exception. It doesn’t matter if you love him or you don’t, you’re married and as long as he doesn’t know about your feelings, it’s not fair.”
A tear rolled down Tina’s cheek.
“Why do you have to be so thoughtful? So full of respect?”
Bette made a weird sound that was supposed to be a laugh, but came out bitterly. “I don’t know,” she responded. “I just know that you are this incredibly genuine person and sleeping with you now would feel like I am forcing you to change your nature, to change who you are.”
“I just have to know…” Tina bit her lip softly and looked down briefly. She reverted her eyes to Bette’s and swallowed. It was a question she was afraid to ask simply because she was afraid of the answer. She wasn’t even know if she wanted to hear the reply. If it was positive, it wasn’t a real solution. If it was negative… she wouldn’t survive the heart-break. She would have to end things with Henry anyway, she couldn’t live this life any longer. It seemed an impossible task to keep on pretending, to keep up the façade. She had to be herself, even if it meant that her life would be turned upside down for a second time. Finally, she spoke. “Are you here to stay?”

Genner, you’re outdoing yourself with this sequel, i’ve just finished reading it again(both falling at ur feet and this sequel) and i’ve been crying like crazy here. Please post soon!
That was a brilliant chapter you wrote here G, I loved how they got their connection back in a second, that only proves that they are meant for each other. I hope their love will survive and they still can be able to live their dream. Thank you so much for writing this incredible story, but please post soon. Have a great Sunday
Hey great to see a new chapter of this story. You know how much I love it. Anyway…am I right when I think that there comes a lot of trouble? I don’t think, even though Henry became Al Bundy, that he will let Tina and little Elizabeth go. And most importantly what about Elizabeth herself? I hope they take the time to consider all aspects of this new situation…both changed, they live in different cities, Tina is married with a child. Can’t wait for the next chapter! Yours Jay
Hey Gen, Loved this latest chapter as Bette and Tina moved ever nearer to eaxh other. These hearts are entwined and only now pulling the gals back into each other’s arms. Just perfect. More please and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
