Bette sat on a lounger in the back yard with a bottle of beer. Kit had come to keep her company for the evening as Tina had a night shoot, and was sat on a garden chair with her feet up and an ice tea in her hand.
"So what’s troubling you baby sis?" the older Porter asked.
"Huh?" Bette looked up, clearly having been in a daydream.
"You got that look on your face, the one when something’s bothering you"
"Have I?"
Kit gave her a withering look "There’s no point trying to hide it from me. If you keep wrinkling your forehead like that those lines’ll never go"
Bette sighed. Over the years her sister had learnt to read her in a way that only one other person could. The person who was the cause of her troubles.
"It’s Tina" she softly, looking down at her beer bottle.
"I’m sensing maybe the maid of honour isn’t as enthusiastic about the wedding as she should be"
Bette raised an eyebrow and looked at her sister "What makes you say that?"
"Bette, even a blind person could see how you feel about that girl"
The colour drained out of the younger Porter’s face "It’s that obvious?"
"Girl, you can pretend she’s just a friend all you like, but no question, you’ve always seen her differently than the rest of those girls"
"Fuck" Bette breathed, running her fingers through her hair "so the others know?"
"Sure they do. But they’ve known for years. It’s Bette and Tina. It’s just the way you’ve always been. But ’cause you never said anything, we figured you’d dealt with your feelings and life would just go on"
"I’ve tried Kit, I really have"
"I don’t doubt that baby girl. It must have taken a hell of a lot for you to stay so close to her for all these years and watch her with guys"
"I couldn’t stay away"
"And now?"
"Now I don’t know how the hell I’m gonna watch her get married to that jerk"
Kit had to hold back a laugh "Does she know?"
"Yeah" Bette whispered.
"And?"
"It’s so fucked up Kit. If only I’d said something back then"
"Back when?"
"T and I…got a little carried away back in college, and I told her I was in love with her. She told me to tell her when we were sober. The next morning she…" Bette was fighting back tears "she seemed like she didn’t remember, and so I…I never said anything. Why the fuck didn’t I say anything?"

I want more! Tina answered Shane with some sure about Henry, but I hope that she can sees that Bette is the right one to her. Plz update soon
Come on, Tina! This shouldn’t be hard. ;-) It’s Bette for goodness sake! Thanks for the post! PPS
I was starting to panic… I didn’t think you would ever post again. Great update! Please post more very soon. I’m loving this story :) I trust your direction with it.
and you didn’t share?! Next time, I’m bringing my own bottle of Jack ;) Lovely post, BB! Sometimes it’s not easy for us to look our own troubles in the eye until someone lays them out for us…even then it’s harder acting on what we know is right to be done…better get back to homework – waiting on your next chapter :) Maybe even Kit will get in on the act *eg* Take care!
This seriously was one of the longest weekends ever… I am glad you are back and posting! I loved this update. I just hope that Tina doesn’t run away once she sees Bette with someone else, thinking that Bette doesn’t want her anymore and she should give her a chance to move on.Shane is right about the family. She hasn’t spoken to them in years, even when she was with Henry. Now her mom choses to come back only when Tina marries a man. That’s not unconditional love, as it should be. So does she want to hurt the person who has been her true family all this time to the deepest of her core, just to please the people who happened to have given birth to her but don’t care about her otherwise?
Tina, if you don’t want to follow your heart at least follow Yoda’s advice. Good God woman, you only have 10 DAYS to cancel a wedding, dump your fiance of 7 yrs and be with the incredible Bette Porter. Time is a wastin’- No pressure! LOL! Great story BB.
I have been mystified with Tina’s reasoning in this story. She knows she is in love with Bette. Just bite the bullet and admit it, then have a happy life with her soulmate. Shane gave hergreat advice or at least led her to the right conclusions. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Finally the decision! Guess I can’t wait any minutes to read next chapter!
if shane would ask me that question i would have such a quick answer LOL but i can understand tina’s dilemma…i mean, how many have been in her position and chose safe and boring? i hope tina will make the right decision
