A Second Chance at Forever
They said their final goodnights before Tina and Angelica made their way down the stairs to Tina’s car. Bette waved goodbye from the top of the stairs as they backed out onto the residential street and drove out of sight. Out of sight, but never out of mind.
Chapter 4
Alice answered her phone on the first ring.
"Hey Tina," Alice settled into a chair for a visit with her friend.
"Bette and Olivia broke up hey?" Tina tried to seem unencumbered by the news that had been shared earlier in the evening.
"Not much for social greetings tonight hey?" Alice replied.
"Sorry. Hi Alice," Tina rolled her eyes. "How are you?"
"Great! Dana’s just finishing up a lesson plan for her coaching class tomorrow," Alice replied. "How are you?"
Silence.
"Okay okay, so what’s the big deal – you two barely talk anyway," Alice shrugged.
"It’s just that the news came up at an inconvenient time," Tina said.
"Doesn’t Angie just go over to Bette’s after school every second Monday – did you do an early trade?" Alice asked, questioning her ability to keep track of her friends’ schedules.
"She does go on Monday," Tina confirmed. "I went over there for dinner tonight. Listen, that’s a longer story. What do you know about their break up?"
"Wait a minute Tina…you did what?" Alice asked, incredulous. "When’s the last time that happened?"
"Try to keep on track Alice," Tina was sounding exasperated. "Bette just seemed to click with her. She was an artist, intelligent, independent, attractive…"
"But she still wasn’t you Tina," Alice interrupted bluntly.
This statement stunned Tina to speechlessness.
"And Bette didn’t see it going any further than it already had, so she broke it off," Alice continued. "You left a legacy that’s been impossible for anyone else to overcome."
"I’m sure you’re exaggerating," Tina managed. "Bette just loves her independence."
"She doesn’t love it so much that she’s willing to give up a relationship that’s working for her," Alice said. "And this one wasn’t meeting her lofty expectations."
"I don’t know how our relationship got to be so fucked up," Tina sighed. She went on to clarify which iteration of their relationship she was referring to. "We don’t even talk outside of dealing with Angelica. We’re the only ex lesbian couple I know of who aren’t best friends."

Secrets and withheld information? Do those things even exist in Alice’s universe? ;) Thanks for posting. Enjoy your weekend! :)
Loving this, can’t wait to see what’s coming
Alice is always being mosey and meddling
Please keep this wonderful story as drama free as possible. Enjoy your weekend!
Alice means well. Sometimes I wish I had a friend like her. Have a great weekend.
Ah, Alice being Alice – old school Alice, the one we all enjoyed early on. I hope she doesn’t get her fingers burned playing with this fire. Sounds like there is a lot of fence mending ahead – I’m looking forward to seeing where we go to from here.
If you have two stubborn people, you need someone to be the ignitor.
Love the flow – the way things come to you…feels natural. IMO – still too short!(wink wink)
I hope they will be more than friends and please not to much drama.Thank you for the update.Have a nice weekend.
and now Alice is on a mission LOL i hope her and Angelica’s efforts will pay off
Thanks for the update. I love that both Bette and Tina can’t see what’s right in front of them. Forgiveness in an important ability to have in relationships.
Yea for Alice!
Thanks for the posts. Please continue!
Hey JKS… Thanks for update! :-) I wonder does this Alice will make things better or worse?! Looks like Angelica and Alice need to combine their power for pushing or nudging them to the right direction ;-) lol… So looking forward to more from you :-)
