“So what this is all about you”? What about me and what I want, I’m working extra hard for this job, because I want to be better for you.”
Tina chuckled
“Babe, you’re the best thing that ever happened to me, it’s not about your job title or the money you make, I – love – you.”
“I’m sorry Tina, but I have to this, I would never ask you to give up your work your job for me, never.”
“I’m not asking you to give up anything Bette. that’s why I’m here I want to make time for you, I don’t care what I have to do to make this thing between us work, I’m willing to do anything, I just don’t think spending 1 day out of the week with each other is enough, I know it’s not enough not for me.”
“I mean would you love me any less if I was poor and didn’t have a job?”
“Don’t be silly, of course not” Bette answered
Bette was frustrated, she ran her hands thru her hair, upset that Tina didn’t understand the reasons why she needed to work extra hard.
“Ok, where does that leave us?” Bette asked coldly
Tina was hurt by Bette’s tone, and her dismissive attitude.
“So that’s it? You’ve made up your mind you’re not willing to try to compromise?”
“T, I have to do this” Bette said
“Bette I’m not asking you not to, we just need to make time for one another, can’t you just tone it back a little? I’m willing to tone it way back if that’s what it takes”
Bette took time to think about Tina’s question
“Tina, things are not too hectic right now, I mean I won’t even start the full time schedule until next semester”
“Yeah, and your still not planning on leaving your other job the job that actually takes you away for days at a time, what are we supposed to? Get together one night a week for a quickie, what to hold us over until the next time we have time for each other”
“Tina, its not like that! Why are you being unreasonable all of the sudden?”
“Me, unreasonable!”
“I came here today because I missed you, I can’t work, I can’t concentrate it physically hurts not seeing you, I just wished you felt the same way”
“I do, I miss you too” Bette said
“But, not enough to do something about it, right?”
“I never said that” Bette replied
Tina got up grabbed her purse.
‘Where are you going?” Bette asked
“I don’t know back to work, I guess”
“Tina”
“I think we’ve said all we needed to say Bette, I have a lot of thinking to do I’ll call you later”
“Tina, please understand”
Tina stopped at the door, she turned at looked at Bette.
“Bette, are you doing this because of what your dad said at dinner?”
Bette didn’t respond
Tina felt anger and hurt over take her feelings.
“You know if you think I’m that shallow, to judge you, based on your job title or status quo, or the money you make you’re a bigger fool than he is, I’m proud to be with you because of the person you are, I fell in love with you”
“T, please”
“I think it’s best if I go, but don’t kid yourself into believing your doing this for me, for us, or even for yourself, your doing it to please your father to prove a point a point you never have to prove to me.” With that Tina walked out.

Damn!!!! Bette really needs to think about what Tina just said. They just can’t end like this. Bette is really stubborn and hopefully she will talk to Kit and realize that se is making a big mistake. Thanks for posting. PPS
Tina could be right? Right?
first – that never happens 2 me?! enjoying your story and the tension here is adding a nice bit of drama – wouldn’t be LWord without drama! thnkx PPS
the drama begins. Was wondering when it would come, & here it is. Time to think Bette, and stop being so self absorbed & get over being “daddy’s little girl”. NEXT!!
Geez your going to make me cry. But I can see both sides. Tina can aford some one to do most her job but she likes what she does and Bette has worked so hard to get where she is and still working on what she wants, this is where the age differents comes in, Tina needs to remember back when and Bette needs to eat so she needs the job maybe just cut back some maybe Tina can get them a place to share. between both there jobs. I don’t know a lot of what if’s Right? thanks for your post so touching.
oh the drama. I am totally with Tina on this one. Bette is still looking to prove daddy wrong. I wonder if Kit has ever shared with Bette what she shared with T about Melvin really being proud of B. Maybe she wouldn’t kill herself and her wonderful relationship if she knew. as always, great story.
Ouch! That didn’t go well. Darn! Thanks for the post! Lovely as usual. :)
Whoa!!!!!!! I understand where Bette is coming from but Tina made a pretty valid point, it does seem like she’s trying to prove something to her father. I thought Bette would be a little more understanding, maybe they should move in together? Too fast? I don’t know, thanks for the awesome post ILM.
Well, the S*&t hit the fan. Hard to come back from this kind of disagreement
Hey iluvmuzic, Whoa! All hell has broken loose.Firstly it was goo d to have Tina sn Kit talk things through.Kit has seen first hand the love between Bette and Tina as well as how Tina’s absence has affected her little sister. Also, Tina’s ;ove and support has given Bette the strength and courage to stand up to her father.Then Tina realized just how much she misses being with Bette and how their recently weekly visits have not been enough.So she headed to Bette’s to see how they can compromise their working lives to given them both a better work/life balance. They need to be with each other so that they can talk things through and enjoy the physical side of their love as much as the emotional.As they are both alphas, one of their worst character traits appears ad then end up arguing about how much each one with have to give up rather than focussing on what they will gain by being together.There is sense on both sides however Bette and Tina need to get over themselves and look to what they want for the future and will settle for in the present.How about Kit just knocks their stubborn heads together and locks them in a romm until they work this through.Now I really can’t wait to read more.Thank you so much.Your Loyal Fan.
Whoa!!! Deep drama so well written. Those are very real. some of these same thoughts have been going thorough my mind about putting in time in a relationship. At some point in time somebody or both have to make a comprise. Like my current relationship without a schedule change it would lead to a lot of frustration.
Lots of drama but Tina is totally right. She’s offering compromise and Bette is turning her down?
Ouch!!! sometimes Bette just cannot see what’s right in front of her!!!! PPS.
Thank you for this story. Bette really needs to think about what Tina’s said. can’t wait to see what happens. Thank you again.
Damn this is sad!
