“I’m alone – but that’s not the reason why there isn’t an ounce of me that wants to take back what happened the other night.”
Bette resolved to clarify, “Were we just taken by the moment?”
—
“It wasn’t like that for me.” Tina disclosed, “I wanted it to happen. I’ve missed you so much I can’t even describe how much I wanted to kiss you. To hold you. To touch you.”
The power of that moment. When Bette clasped her wrist. When Tina turned to her and there was no choice for either one but to avariciously indulge in a physical connection. One that conveyed an ever present yearning that ruptured into a need that could not be contained nor denied.
“I hate that we had to stop…and I hate even more that I had to let go.”
Tina’s statements held her captive and left Bette stunned. Rarely was she left speechless but it wasn’t the first time with this woman who knew the layers beneath a surface of self-possession. The one she promised to honor and keep until the fateful day she took a different path.
“This is complicated,” was all Bette could say pausing after each word.
“It is…but I need you to know Bette.”
There were tears on her cheeks as she continued. “I don’t want to make a mess of things especially with you and Jodi but I can’t help that I feel so much for you. I don’t want another day to go by without saying it out loud.”
For a third time the conversation came to a standstill. The emotion in Tina’s confession rang through the air rather powerfully, like how overwrought engines of a large plane strained to lift the massive weight of its body into the skies above.
“Tina, I…”
“You don’t need to say anything.”
The blonde gripped her phone. Tina’s right hand tensed as she grasped the small device before murmuring sadly, “I let you go and it was a mistake. You told me… you said that I risked your absence forever… after I…and still this foolishness kept me from us. From you.”
Bette’s heart hammered in her chest. She could hear Tina’s soft sobs which interspersed the words that influenced mind and spirit.

Magnificent!!! I was leaning forward toward my computer, trying to get closer because I swear I could hear Tina’s voice coming through my computers speaker. Wow…wonderfully written, thank you!
Arrrrrhhhhh… Please post soon. This is so good.
What is 2 of 2? Is this the end of Convenient Distractions? We need to hear Bette’s answer. I don’t care if it’s titled The Unconvenient Truth (for Jodi I hope). I just need one more chapter, pretty please…
2 of 2! I think not. At least 2/3, but preferably 2/20 ..please!
No such thing as too late if Bette truly loves her. Just a pity Tina took so long to realise what she’d sacrificed. You’re on a roll, don’t stop now :-)
DON’T. YOU. DARE! Where’s #3? LOL – simply wonderful writing. My heart hurst for Tina… and I’m not a big fan of hers. That says something about your writing. PPS! (with #3).
* hurts *
Awesome chapter. You conveyed Tina’s raw emotions in a amazing way, please continue your writings and if possible Bette’s answer or reactions.
Excelent way to look into Tina’s troubled soul. Maybe fanfiction can at some point help in excorcising the worst fear -the one Holloman carried through the show: being left for a man.
I sure hope that it is “NOT” too late. I for one can’t wait to see how Bette resolves her feelings for Tina.
wow, tina is really brave to open up like that when there’s a chance that it’s too late…of course, love like bette and tina’s is rare and tina’s not late because jodi is also a convenient distraction for bette…beautiful randoms :)
Please continue.
Wonderful simply wonderful. Excellent writing. Thank you.
Socal is right, it does hurt. I’ve been waiting for someone to write something like this. And yes, we do need at least one more chapter of this particular one. Thanks for posting.
Wow on the story!! Wowser on the cliffie!!! :)
Hey, lwordid. Yeah, it’s true, you’ve posted more positive scenes than painful ones. But the few painful ones really, really hurt…because they were truly well-written, well thought out and heartfelt. Please don’t take this as a criticism. Your unique voice shines through in all these random scenes. And I’m glad you almost always end the positive ones with a sliver of hope, like in this one. I hope you’ll post Bette’s answer to Tina’s question and what compelled her to grab Tina and kiss her at She Bar. But if you choose to keep this open ended, I have an idea how Bette responded. Thank you for all these well-crafted random TiBette moments, lwordid. Thank you for not making Tina a totally unlikable and unforgivable person. That makes this Tina fan quite happy. =) Please keep on writing and sharing, lwordid. Cheers! =)
