Bette rubbed the back of her neck and sat down on the couch, staring over at her glass of wine on the coffee table. She slowly closed her eyes and leaned back, relaxing her body into the sofa.
She lay there for a few minutes, enjoying the stillness of her home after the stressful day she’d had at work.
Bette opened her eyes and gazed over towards the front door. It scared her how much she wanted Tina to walk through that door right now and fall into her arms. She’d been seriously considering getting on a flight to North Carolina all day, still having not heard from her girlfriend since last night.
She leaned forward and grabbed her glass off the table, swallowing a generous mouthful of the ruby liquid and leaning back into the couch.
Bette sighed and looked over at the clock. It was 8pm, and she still hadn’t eaten all day. The brunette reluctantly leaned back across to the coffee table and opened up one of the drawers. She grabbed a handful of takeout menus and scattered them around the surface of the table.
After flicking through a couple she decided against it, shoving them all back into the drawer.

Tina hesitantly followed her sister into the house and down the familiar hallway towards the kitchen. She smiled as the smell of her mother’s cooking filled her nostrils. That smell always reminded her of home.
They entered the kitchen, their mother frantically whisking as she looked up to greet her daughters.
"Honey.." She put down the whisk and made her way over towards the women. "I’m so glad you came." She smiled, giving Tina a small peck on the cheek.
She squeezed Jess’ arm and walked back round the counter to continue preparing the meal.
"Dinner will be in about twenty minutes, go relax in the living room." She called over her shoulder.
"You sure you don’t want any help mom?" Tina asked, assuming the living room was where her father was, and not really wanting to speak to him just yet.
"No no don’t be silly." She waved her hands, gesturing towards the other room. "Jess, go introduce your sister to your new boyfriend."
Tina looked round to her sister and raised her eyebrow.

wow good chapter!! love the bander between the drunk friends!!! :) and please let tina survive hehe :P and fly back to bette, of just let her call her.. thanks for posting! and please post soon again :)
Tina needs to call back! I feel for Bette. She should have given in to her thoughts about traveling to NC! PPS
Love it! I want Bette and Tina back together though- I miss them! :)
Tina’s reasoning for not taking Bette with her seemed right at the time… but now, it might have been an idea for Bette to have come along. Her father remains stubborn, and might not ever change, whereas Mrs K, Jess, and even Luke seem to be just getting on with it. I don’t think Mr K has much time left before Tina packs her bags and goes back to L.A. and Bette, and it may be an opportunity to mend fences that he never regains. Thanks for the chapter, Hardy, pps.
So my big question is why hasn’t Tina contacted Bette??? I get that she’s tied up with her family drama but she herself was wishing Bette was there! Oh I hope she calls her soon, and Bette insists that she’s either coming there or Tina is gonna come home right away! PPS:)
Poor Tina, I hope she remembers to phone Bette soon. Maybe she’ll get a surprise visitor before she can!
Nice to see some happy, drunken times for Bette. What we really need now is a reunion between B&T. Great story.
The transitions between the two scenes were natural. I really enjoyed the contrast. I’m glad both women have family in their camps. Tina has Jess and her mother. Bette has Alice and Shane. Thanks!
Oh please let them speak to each other soon. Was a great update and really love the interaction between Bette, Shane & Alice. Love luke… was so cute …. Is Bette Hot? Thank you! :)
Looooooove your fic!!! Can’t wait for the reunion!!!!! PPS!
I say Tina needs to get the hell out of dodge in the morning, her father will not change and her mother will go along with her father. She needs to hurry before they decide to set her up with someone or worse, kidnap her so she can’t go back to CA. Thanks for posting.
Yeah, too bad Bette was unable to go with Tina. Although that probably would have caused more harm than good but it would still have been nice.
nice shane and alice came over to cheer their friend…i feel for tina tho’. pps
Bette her Al and Shane to comfort her and Tina has at least some family members to support her…now they need some comtact…LOL
One drunk group in the west coast, one intense group in the east coast, just what I would expect. Now, B&T need to come together. I hope that this visit, Tina comes to realize that she needs to give in to her wants and have Bette take care of her. Mr. K, is not going to change. T needs to accept that and move on with Bette. Alpha Tina, come out, come out, wherever you are……. Great update. Please post soon. I love this story………
Love Luke all ready and Mr.K just needs to get over himself. Sure hope you bring our girls together soon. pps
