    Starting over (47)

    Chapter 47

    Tina sat at the kitchen table sipping her tea and staring into space.  ‘Why hasn’t she called?’  ‘Why am I being such a wuss?  She’s only been gone for 48 hours and I spoke to her this morning.’ 

    Tina sighed and let her mind wonder.  ‘Things have been such a whirlwind these past 2 months, with me starting at the Peabody Foundation, Bette’s Spring Show and Ellie coming home for spring break, but things have been good…great…right?  Yes better than great…I mean we’re practically living together…  Even though it’s not ‘official’ Bette’s moved a lot of her personal things into the house…That’s good.  But what about all of her things…her art…her photos… all the little things…

    ‘Kinnard come on , cut it out, things have been amazing…’

    Tina sighed and buried her head in her hands.

    ‘Then why do feel so…lost…so … adrift.’

    Tina absently wiped the tear making its way down her cheek.  After a moment or two Tina sat upright and stood up.

    “Cut it out Kinnard.  Enough is enough.  Call her and just cut the shit” 

    She grabbed her phone and quickly pressed Bette’s number.  She waited anxiously and prayed the call didn’t go to voicemail.  After the fourth ring the call was answered.  Tina’s heart skipped a beat as she heard.

    “Hello.”

    Tina quietly replied… “Bette…”

    “T…Hi…I’m sorry… I can hardly hear you.   I’m out with some of the people from the Whitney.  The show was fabulous.”

    Tina heard loud music and could hear Bette was out having a great time.  Her heart was pounding and her head ached.

    “Oh, okay babe…just call me later… or tomorrow.  I’m sorry I interrupted your night out. “

    “T…you’re not interrupting… I just can’t hear you very well.  I’ll call you when I get back to the hotel.  Okay?”

    “It’s okay Bette I’m turning in in a few minutes.  Give me a call tomorrow when you have some time.  Okay?”

    “Okay, T…Goodnight…I .love you…”

    “Goodnight Bette, I love you too.”

    Tina closed her phone and couldn’t help but succumb to the feelings of loneliness she’d been feeling earlier.  She curled up on the couch and just let the tears fall.  ‘She wouldn’t…would she?   He did…aren’t these things destined to repeat themselves…Shit…She wouldn’t and it’s so not fair to even consider that she would.  Well…what the fuck is stopping her…we don’t have a commitment… No real place to live…no ring…what are we really…girlfriends…big …fucking …deal…Shit…

    1. WTF was THAT!!!!!!!!! Has Tina totally lost it???? Has Joe’s infidelity taken Tina over the edge??? Like jp22 said, “Bette is NOT Joe”. Bette, baby, I’m available, come home to me. PPS before I stop breathing.

    2. What the hell? Come on now Tina cannot be that blind, she and Bette have been together long enough for her to see how much she loves her. Tina needs to stop acting like an idiot and go to Bette and talk it out before she gets fed up with all the up and down and gives up. I understand she went through a lot of crap with her ex but Bette has given no indication she would behave in kind. Please fix this frustrating situation asap I cn’t stand to see Bete like this.

    3. Tina’s obviously got more issues about Joe’s cheating than she ever let on. Bette is not Joe. If Tina can’t see that, or can’t trust that, then she’s going to need some help to see it. Whether she lets Bette be the one to help is another thing. Maybe Ellie can talk some sense into her. Thanks for the post, and more soon, please!

    4. Jeez D what the?! I woke up this morning and saw two posts…yipeee! I’ve absolutely missed this story and I’m so glad you’re back. That said…please fix this ASAP!
