Chapter 30
Bliss, Interrupted
After their heartfelt admissions the women fell into a blissful ease. The next two weeks were like a dream. They worked, they played, they laughed, they cried, they shared the exciting and the mundane with a sense of peace that neither had ever dreamed existed, let alone experienced.
It was Sunday afternoon and the women were sitting in ‘their’ room at Tina’s. Bette was working on her laptop sitting on the bed in her bathrobe, while Tina, also wearing her robe, sat in the white chair with her feet, clad in fuzzy slippers, propped up on the bed eating ice cream. They had enjoyed another incredible Sunday together. They indulged in a big breakfast, the mountain of newspapers, the crossword puzzles, sailing and finally making love on the beach. They had showered together and now were just relaxing and enjoying being together. Tina sat as if in a daze gazing at Bette.
“Babe, you know I have to leave work early tomorrow, right?”
Bette responded quietly.
“Yeah T,…I know.”
“Babe, I know you don’t want to talk about this…but I really think we should.”
Bette was silent. She lifted her head slowly. She looked at Tina with her beautiful expressive eyes brimming with tears and slowly spoke.
“Tina, I know, you have to do this. I understand. Believe me if I could think of any way to suggest something different, believe me I would. I have tried to think of a scenario that would be better than not being together for an indefinite period of time I would have suggested it. I know you have to do this.”
Bette lowered her head and rested it in her hand. She rubbed her eyes, trying to hold the flow of the tears that were threatening. Tina crawled onto the bed and sat across from Bette. She moved the laptop to the side and bent her head down to capture Bette’s eyes.
“Babe, it is not an indefinite period of time.”
Bette kept her hand over her eyes and whispered her reply.
“Tina…you just don’t know that…I feel like…oh, shit I don’t know.”
Bette stood up and began pacing. She ran her hand through her hair.
“Tina I just don’t know.”

WOW!!! Love It!!!! I so feel Bette’s fear of lossing Tina. Thank you PPS
This story is very good! I can feel Bette’s pain in this chapter. I just hope Tina will live up to her words. PPS
I felt my heart being ripped out. Great update.
i just read 30 chapters in roll, yr story is very good i love it. thank you for posting
Their dialogue was so realistic. Great story!
Dazed and Amused thanks for another great chapter. Yeah the Bette we know and love would panic. And Tina will have to keep reassure her until she feels more secure. Tina has the right idea. It’s hard hen those you love don’t accept who you love. But it’s your life to live not theirs. I like this Tina :) She is her own person.
Ouf, I was scared for a second lol. I can understand Bette insecurity. Tina needs to sort out her situation with her ex-husband to be and her daughter. PPVS

I don’t think I have left any comment on this story before, even though I’ve read it from the start. And I love it! Every chapter is full of love, your writing is really clever. THanks so much for sharing it!PPS
oh, too cruel!!!
Excellent update. Love it. Thank you :)
This is the first real hurdle, and Bette’s going to have to trust in Tina and what they have to see them through it. Great update, thanks D&A. :)
This is so great!
I love the way you have written Tina to be such a strong person of conviction. She is the perfect balance for Bette’s passion and insecurity. I do hope that Ellie doesn’t freak out. That would make it really hard on Tina.
I do understand how Bette feels. The fear is palpable and the possibility is very real. After all this is the first time for Tina and she has never faced this kind of problem nor the scrunitr that she will be facing. Besides she doesn’t know if her husband has talked to their daughter about Tina and Bette while leaving out all his disgressions, which have been many over the 18 yrs of marriage. Real hard time coming for them and I truly hope they can weather the storm. Great update.
