Chapter 16
Tina stood staring at herself in the mirror with a mix of excitement and terror. She had already fixed her hair and was somewhat satisfied. She was now trying in vain to work on her makeup. Not only was it extremely difficult with her wrist in a cast, it seemed the more she tried to cover the remaining bruises the worse it looked. She finally applied some lipstick and leaned back to see the results. ‘Well, not great but better…I guess that’s my mantra for now…God my hands are shaking.’ Tina left the bathroom and proceeded to put on her new linen pant suit the girls had gotten her. ‘God I hope it’s not too hot and she wants me to take this jacket off’.’ After wrestling for several minutes to put the sandals on, Tina looked at herself in the mirror and let out a big sigh. ‘Here goes.’
Tina walked into the living room and found Dana and Alice huddled together on the couch drinking coffee.
“Tina you look amazing.”
“Yeah TK, you look great. The suit fits you a lot better now…I think I even see a little somethin’ in the back.”
Tina turned toward Alice and glared at her and then a tender smile formed and she leaned back to look at herself over her shoulder.
“Ya think so…Really?”
Alice smiled at her friend.
“As painful as it usually is I only speak the truth. You look great.”
“Thanks guys.”
Tina grabbed her purse and sunglasses and gave her friends a brave smile.
“I guess this is it. Wish me luck.”
Alice stood up.
“Bette’s not here yet. Where are you going?”
Tina smiled at her friend’s eagerness.
“I thought it might be best if we um…ya know met in private…I texted her and told her I’d meet her in front of the building.”
“I got up for this. You TK are no fun.”
Tina gave Alice a nervous laugh and turned to leave.
“Oh I’ll make sure I call before I come back so have fun ladies.”
“Good Luck TK, and have some fun.”
“Bye Tina.”
“Bye Guys.”

Just as Tina arrived at the front door she saw Bette’s Saab pull up to the Apartment building. Tina took a deep breath and pulled the door open, she took a step trying her best to stand straight, which made her ribs hurt a bit, and tried to walk with as little a limp as possible. After 2 steps she looked up and Bette was already only a few steps away. She stopped, frozen. Bette stopped and with tears in her eyes spoke softly.

Oh that was everything I could hope for. The tenderness and understanding Bette offered and thank God Tina got it all out. It can only be up from here. Nice Nice Nice
what a sweeeeet reunion!! Big Thx D&A you’ve made my day.☺☻
so good…..Bette is taking all this well….
You’re rockin’ this story.
That was absolutely beautiful. I have really been enjoying this story. Can’t wait to see Tina’s reaction to the painting.
It’s start at least. Maybe they should slow down a little but so nice to have Bette and Tina on the same page.
Sad but so beautiful. Bette was so compassionate that Tina was able to tell her everything. They’re going to make it after all!
Beautiful update! Bette does need to slow down just a tad. I don’t want them to rush into anything, but the hugs and the kisses were pretty hot. Tina needs to truly feel loved again. I really loved the long chapter! PPS
Tinas story is behind them. Bette needs to slow down, and let Tina get her feet under her. Even get a job. Thanks
Fantastic update and beautiful reunion. Thank you. Was just lovely.
AWESOME! What a beautiful reunion – you could just feel Bette’s anguish. I’m so glad they’re at a point where they can accept both their errors. But…Bette needs to slow down and give Tina some space between the romancing.. …
This was a tough chapter to get through.. Wowee, I’m glad they’re talking and making steps to get back together, and I’m even happier they’re making out. I can’t wait to see Bette’s painting and their business lunch. Maybe Bette can cook? =D Thanks for this ultra long post and PPVS! =))
Thanks for the great update! I think Tina needs to take it slower than the 2 of them want. She is just starting alcohol addiction counseling and is going to need time to adjust to that new lifestyle. Not an easy thing to do. it is great to see them both communicating so openly! PPS
I’m really loving your story. I really liked this update, also. Bette is doing a great job of understanding and accepting Tina’a past 2 years. And I love how she is making Tina to feel loved. I love your pace and can’t wait for more!! Thank you!
I’m floored. That was amazing. This is gonna make ma later for work. LOL Thanks for bringing them back together, at last.
That went far further, and way better that I thought it was going to. They still haven’t fully talked about everything though… rocky stuff ahead? I hope their respective therapists help them deal with it all. thanks, DnA! :)
Aaarggg… You can feel the confusion and frustration from them both- there is the need to take it slow and be careful with their hearts… but this other need to just ‘close all the doors and windows’ and never leave home again. Love your story.
So fucking.adorable and cute, but sad at the same time, can i just say i lovvveeee this story, something different but still the same
