Bette and Tina showered and dressed as Paul had suggested in jeans, sturdy hiking boots and tank tops with a cotton shirt over it. They also took a change of clothes since Paul mentioned they might be getting wet at some point during the day. As promised he had backpacks ready for them with all the essentials. Once they finished breakfast they set off on their hike through the beautiful mountainside.
Most of it had trails so it wasn’t strenuous but it was a good ways. Once they got there they saw that it was well worth the trek. The site Paul had chosen for them took their breath away. They were even more excited to learn that waterfall hiking and whitewater rafting was on the agenda for the day if they wanted to take a break and have some fun.
They unloaded their gear and set up camp. There was a picnic table, a fire pit and although discretely hidden in the natural setting Paul pointed out the fully equipped bathrooms with showers. Paul gave them his satellite phone so they could call Kit and Angie to say good morning before they got started. While they talked to their family Paul checked on the food, water, fruit and soft drinks that had been packed by the kitchen staff and catered to the site earlier that morning. The cooler was waiting for them upon arrival. They also had tents and sleeping bags if they chose to camp overnight which sounded like a great idea.
During breakfast and on the hike Bette and Tina filled Paul in on their previous night and early morning conversations and their decision to tackle all their issues … no holds barred. Paul was impressed that they had communicated so much on their own and still seemed to be doing so well. He noticed a lot more hand-holding and bantering between them. That led him to suggest a couple of fun activities during their walk to the site.

“You both revealed a few things that I’d like to explore further from your conversations but it sounds like a lot of good came from it already. Your honesty and openness with each other is very encouraging. I can’t emphasize enough how important that is to your recovery. You are only cheating yourselves and sabotaging your progress if what you say isn’t based in truth, honesty and established trust. That’s the basis of any good effective communication technique. It’s imperative to any breakthroughs especially when you start tackling the really difficult subjects.

Ooops! new new update.
I will read.
When BETTE took off that power suit for CANDACE the clock started ticking.TINA ignored MELVIN since he was BETTE’s problem until it affected the baby.Angry sex no sexual frustration on both sides.yes.BETTE let CANDACE give her a tune up and TINA was a buffet for HELENA and JOSH.Both of them never heard of eat out at your own risk.TINA wants a made-on instead of a strap-on so she goes out and gets it.TINA wants to be a family yet allows others to play with the family jewels.What can BETTE say about what attracted her to CANDACE.Why did TINA allow these cooks in her kitchen when BETTE should have been the only one turning her knobs.Why allow your father to spew that hatred at TINA and no rebuttal from you.ATTEMPTED SUICIDE when the pain was even greater bcuz you failed.so why do it?Keeping your friendship with H.FKN.P.is this an attempt to have someone to fall back on if this marriage doesn’t work out for you TINA. The hurt ,slaps,betrayals,infidelity,orgasms can not be undone but the baring of souls can be.BETTE wants her family and TINA wants her friendships ,who has more to lose or who will..?continue please.
I agree. Helena is the safety net if they don’t work it out.
I can only say,post the next part. I am ready for the ugliness and for the forgiveness after that.
It will be hard to read, but to move forward they need to get past it.
Really looking forward to getting on and the healing to start. Thanks again for the repost, enjoying reading it again
Wasn’t going to read this story again, as the first time I read it, it made me sick how horrible they were to each other and to themselves. So I skipped over the harder chapters and started reading the last few. Once again I am hooked on your writing and now will go back to the beginning and read.
One of the things they lost was trust in themselves as individuals. If they trusted themselves, trusting others is a lot easier.
Thanks for a great story. Awaiting your next post eagerly.
It’s time the truth, I know how much will bother Bette, have
knowledge about what happened to Josh, (bother me)
But in any relationship, missing explanation for the wrong attitudes, we must communicate, explain and seek forgiveness.
The complete constellation.
Good night
Hey Bat, sorry for not commenting on your last chapters but I wasn’t able to read them until now.
I was thinking a lot about if Bette should just accept Helena as Tina did with Alice. But then there is one big difference to the situation. Alice never set out to destroy Tina on the contraire she accepted Bette and Tina’s relationship and even if I got the impression in S3 that she still wasn’t completely over how Bette ended their relationship and that her feelings for Bette went deeper than Bette’s feelings for her she never maliciously set out to harm neither Bette nor Tina. Helena on the other hand is/was out to not only destroy Bette’s reputation work wise but she also was set to annihilate Bette’s complete life.
Glad Bette put her foot down and told Tina in no uncertain terms that she would no longer accept Helena being around her. Even if it’s an ultimatum it’s up to Tina to take sides and decide what’s more important.
Looking forward to your next post.
