    Author Notes:

    Bette and Tina: Picking up where Episode 412 left off.

    “Wow.” Alice whispered under her breath. “Did she kiss you back?” She queried excitedly, hoping this might be the push that her two best friends needed to begin finding their way back to each other.

    “I didn’t give her a chance, Al.” Bette finally began to slow down a bit, though her voice still sounded strained. “I pulled back as soon as I realized what I was doing. Fuck.”

    “Well, did she say anything?” Alice pressed on. “I mean, did she seem angry about it?”

    “She wouldn’t even look at me.” Bette sighed. “She just sort of started rubbing her neck like she does when she’s uncomfortable, and tried not to look at me. I just can’t believe I would do something so stupid, Alice. I know she’s seeing Kate, and here I am kissing her!”

    “Bette, relax.” Alice tried to calm down the agitated brunette as best she could over the phone. “I’m sure Tina is just fine. If she’s upset, it’s probably because she didn’t get a chance to kiss you back.” Alice attempted to lighten the situation, but still hoped that her friend would start seeing reality.

    “Alice.” Bette scolded. “How many times do I have to tell you, Tina isn’t interested. We just talked about this yesterday!”

    “Bette.” Alice replied calmly but sternly. “I really don’t think you know that. You’re assuming so many things.”

    “Yes, Alice, I am.” Bette snapped at Alice, misdirecting her building anger towards her blonde friend. “I’m assuming that since she left me for a man, is now dating Kate, and is helping me get Jodi back, that she is not interested in anything other than us being friends and co-parents.”

    “Have you two actually ever talked about this, Bette?” Alice pressed, doing her best to ignore Bette’s attitude.

    Bette didn’t respond immediately, taking time to search her memory before she answered her friend’s very valid question.

    “No. Not really.” Bette offered hesitantly. “I mean, Tina told me awhile ago that she’d trade boring Henry for my control freak personality, but she was just trying to make me feel better about my fight with Jodi. It didn’t mean anything.”

    “Fuck, Bette.” It was now Alice’s turn to feel exasperated. “For such a smart woman, it amazes me sometimes how truly dense you can be. You and Tina need to talk about this. I mean, come on, Bette. How are you going to feel if you find out 20 years from now that Tina really wanted you back and you were too stubborn, proud and pigheaded to find out?” Even though Bette couldn’t see the gesture, Alice threw her free hand in the air for emphasis.

    “Alice, you’re wrong about Tina.” Bette stated decisively. “And we just pulled up at the airport, so I have to go. Just check on Tina and make sure she doesn’t hate me, okay?”

    “Fine, Bette. Whatever.” Alice sighed. “Have a safe trip. Call me later.” Alice added for good measure, not sure if Bette heard her before clicking off her phone.

    1. YEAH! You posted early, and in fact I was taking a break from updating my next chapter to read yours. Excellent, can’t wait for the next one. I also wanted to throw in a little something about your author’s notes, I want Skipton to write again too! LOL!

    3. Poor naive Bette.. Alice is right, for such a smart woman.. *shakes head* Ooh, but T’s nervous neck-rub.. That is so cute when she does it :) Thanks for updating; it’s a very good story so far. Post soon x

    4. Tina really hates you, yea right she is probably kicking herself that she sisn’t grab you and kiss you right back. Hope we get another chapter soon.

    6. Tina so should have grabbed her and reallly given her a kiss before she left. Parts of that episode made me so happy, and other parts made me want to kick someones ass. IC are you listening. Great update and explanation for those who didn’t know what was going on. Now can we have the continuation of the flowers and note she sent to Bette. Please can your Bette not be a complete naive, and utter mormon, and realize what Tina is really trying to say.

    8. coop, that typo made me giggle. “Utter MORMON?” *snicker* :) Anyway, Bette is damn dumb. lol And I still can’t believe Tina helped Bette. I wouldn’t be that nice.

    10. who needs me to write when we’ve got you back??? can’t tell you how much i’m enjoying this tale of yours. has already moved to one of my definite favorites. don’t keep us waiting too long for more…

    12. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that you are writing again! You have been missed. I am already totally hooked on your story. I love the intensity…they are so not over each other. Don’t keep us waiting too long for another chapter.

    14. But is Tina going to believe what Alice is going to say about Bette’s feelings. The two of them are like high schooler’s passing notes in study hall. They really need to talk about it. But it appears that Tina is brave enough throw the first ball out. How nervous she must be waiting for Bette’s response…Thanks for the update!!!

    17. YAY! As I told you earlier in chapter 1, I’ll tell you here, a big welcome back. The flavor of certain authors who have been sorely missed are returning with spectacular stories. This is a gem. I love how you provided insight into that depth that continues to be present between the two women. I’m completely hooked, so please post when you can, but sooner would not be something I would object to. LOL! Thanks Steph.

    18. How great is it to have you writing again. And I love this story. Adult conversation. What a concept! Keep the chapters coming. It’s a pleasure to read.

    19. “Now what about Santa Monica Blvd?” …I know it’s been a while, but didn’t your last story stop as Bette was having breakfast in a restaurant with a friend and Tina came walking along and saw her? Or, was Tina with her friend Kim? Or, was Alice with Kim? I don’t know, I just know I really liked your last story and we were just about to have Bette and Tina meet cute and work things out. …I’m still waiting…but this story will certainly appease my Tibetter heart whilst I wait. Thank you!

    22. i always go back to, dont assume…. ive found that talking and really listening and not trying to prove a point helps in conversations with each other, even if its painful. thanks.

    23. Yeah! 2nd instalment was fantastic! Wish we could bang the girl’s heads together to make them see sense, but until then i’ll make believe through your story! Please post soon.

    27. Caught up and so glad I waited so I could read both chappies together! I love this story and can’t wait until the next post! This filled in the gap from what we saw so well, and I can’t wait until you post the next chapter! You’re on a roll, so you might as well reward your loving fans again by posting early! So glad you’re back here and hope that also re-post all of your stories!

    28. Yes, My tibette heart is happy once again! So glad to see you writing and posting for us – your stories are always a pleasure to read and enjoy. I am happy to see you writing about what will happen to Tina and Bette after season 4 left us hanging…. Have you seen the promos for season 5? if so…what do do think? Always a fan — thank you for taking the time to write!

    29. Bette is so clueless at times. She should really listen to Alice and maybe really listen to what her heart is telling her. Sometimes Bette uses her head too much and not her heart.

    33. Oh yeah, that pretty much captured why everyone was so frustrated with Bette at that point (Jodi being the possible exception). I don’t think her blindness is the result of naivete, but a lingering, misguided self-protection from all the hurt that Tina has caused her. Her relationship with Jodi is lingering and misguided, too. So Tina needs to get off her ass and use a sledge hammer to apply the salve to Bette’s thick skull and thick defenses.

    35. Hey, I like this beginning, though I find it strange that Bette had to explain Tina the meaning of flowers : I would have thought the other way round, Tina being the “green thumbs” of the family :-) —- Bette can really be so stubborn and blind when she is unsure of herself ;-) Please, keep posting :-)) and how about a repost of your previous stories… I like to read all the awarded stories, and yours is not online any more… it would be nice to be able to read it now :-) Thanks

    38. Just catching up and it’s great to see you are posting another story. Really liked your take on Bette’s thoughts on the whole Jody attraction. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thank you!
