The next day wasn’t as awkward as I felt it may have been, and we were all getting along as wonderfully as ever. Angelica had painted a picture for Bette’s refrigerator, and I wrote her a letter while she was at work.
Upon arriving back home, she was amused with Angelica’s creation, and cautious of mine. She read it while I finished dinner, excusing herself to enjoy the privacy of her room while taking in each word I’d given to her. It felt like a gift.
Around her house, it was difficult to speak honestly to one another, and while she was away at work, I felt that I needed to do just that, so I wrote my thoughts down. And while it may not have been what she was expecting, my gentle conversation and honesty about my past was well-enjoyed.
That was the start of many letters, given back and forth to one another. In a strange way, that was what brought us together, and kept our friendship so strong – even through the complications we casted over it. That was also motivation for me to write, and heeded my discovery of the hobby. Sometimes I wrote for myself, and sometimes I addressed my thoughts to Bette. Either way, we grew close, and in a strange way that even we couldn’t fully understand sometimes.
One letter in caught my attention as different from the rest, and it was the way in which it was delivered. As I lay in bed one night with Angelica already fast asleep, I heard footsteps, and as I opened my eyes, a piece of paper slipped under the door. Being careful not to wake my daughter, I slipped out of bed, and excitedly picked up the letter. It was too dark in there to read, so I quietly opened the door and snuck out into the hall, sinking down against the wall as I untucked the paper to read the first words.
“I love you.”
I held my breath until I was finally seated on the floor, reading by the gentle light of the bathroom. My eyes quickly scanned over each of the words before I took the entire letter in with great patience, digesting every word carefully, lovingly. If Bette had something to say, I would listen. Sometimes it was hard to listen, but reading her letter on that floor that night, it was just quiet enough that I could. It was almost as if she were whispering the words directly to me.

Oh deary me…….yes: MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE please!!!!!!
Great update. Now they know how each other feels and I’m so glad that they have told each other how they feel. Tina needs to start divorce proceedings while the husband is locked up and can’t get out. Two things: we don’t really know anything about Bette’s past and we don’t know how the husband found them. LA is a very large city and he couldn’t have been just lucky to find Tina going in a store. Hopefully they won’t be bothered by him again but I know that is just asking for a miracle. He is not good enough to just leave her alone. All abusive men want to kill their wives or girlfriends. Why, I don’t know. Hope we can get some of these questions answered. Thanks for posting.
I too am curious about Bette’s life before Tina and Angelica. I’m sure you’ll get into that later. Thanks for the awesome update GR :)
I don’t remember her friends being so critical of Tina on the show. Bette seems so fragile and sometimes morose. Great story. PPS.
GR, you really are one of the best writers out there and I love each and every one of your stories. Thank you for sharing them with us. :)
Finally caught up with this wonderful story. I hope the husband is gone for good.
i love this story looking forward to the next post
Hey, What a fabulous story you are developing here. I adore the connection that Bette and TIna have instantly had. After everything that Tina has been through, she should not be willing to open up to someone. The fact that she can is testament to her capacity to love. I can’t wait to read more as their relationship along with Bette and Angelica’s grow stronger. I can’t wait to follow you. As always, you rock my world and re-establish my fiath. Many thank yous, Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
I love this story too! I hope Bette follows her heart and stops listening to her friends.
need more of this story, asap (and thank you in advance)
Just read both your updates. Love this story. Thank you.
great update… but i am getting worried… the time is passing and soon that BASTARD will be getting out of jail… i also wondered how he found her… maybe he was going through her phone book at home and found her friends address from college and waited… good thing he doesn’t no about bette… i was also hoping they would move… he is like a bad penny… he will be back… lets hope tina will stand up to him and not just take what her dishes out… pps

I’m loving this story. I wonder how was the life of bette in the past before Tina appear in your life. Will it come up more drama than the concerns of the friends of Bette, Tina will look for a job. Hahaha so many questions. I love drama, with a happy ending, of course. More, more…….
