“How about dinner Friday night?” the man would say.
“I can’t, Andy, or Gil or John or Mark. I’m in a committed relationshipwith a woman.”
“Oh, I didn’t know,” would say Andy/Gil/John/Mark.
Of course, it could be done more smoothly than that, but that was the idea.
In fact, there were always opportunities to out oneself in natural conversation. Tina had had many chances to do this and had always felt dishonest when she wasn’t completely forthright.
Once they decided what to do, they had to decide when to do it. Was the Alphaville party too soon if they decided to announce in that way? Tina couldn’t make a decision on this.
Even though they didn’t make all the decisions this night that they needed to, they progressed in the sense that they could kid about it.
“Maybe we could put out a newsletter,” Bette teased because she knew that both of them were now calm enough about the topic to joke a little.
“It could have our wedding picture,” suggested Tina, grinning.
“Or we could use the one where we’re standing in behind the cake with Barbie and Xena in front of it.”
“Alice could write the story of the wedding.”
“She could do it like those awful stories of weddings that they have on the society pages.”
“The bride and bride wore matching lovely ivory silk pants outfits,” Bette intoned with mock seriousness. “One bride wore a lovely ivory silk jacket and the other a lovely ivory silk vest withjust enough of her lovely ivory breasts showing to make the other bride a little crazy.”
“We weren’t wearing ivory silk,” corrected Tina.
“Doesn’t matter.”
“Were you really getting crazy looking at me?”
Bette reached for her and Tina skittered away, playfully.
“And then,” Tina said, “we could have a gossip column article about our whirlwind courtship.”
“Lovely lesbian love goddess, Bette Porter, met her match after a lifetime of loving and leaving ladies of Los Angeles when she met Tina Kennard, beautiful blonde bombshell who bewitched Bette with bullet-like speed. It took the determined Ms. Kennard two whole days to land the highly eligible, but formerly elusive, Ms. Porter.”

Great chapter. Please post soon
I haven’t realized that you were writing another story!! I like this one and I guess I can forgive for writing After loving you (it broke my heart) You said you have lots of ideas, that’s good, give us drama but not sad endings, don’t follow IC’s steps
When you said B&T before the original break-up I thought we were gonna have a flashback to the B&T from “What is Love?” I’m slow. lol Well Tina finally took a big step. I have a feeling more people will be cool with it than she thinks. I mean, it’s not like she’s living where I live. Looking forward to the next chapter!
hmmmmmmmm… nice… now i can’t wait for the party… so please post it soon…
Yesss! thank you! i know Tina loves so much Bette, she was little concerned about work relation ship. I am happy she make that big step cause she make Bette so happy. Great post. just i am wondering what will happen in the party? continue post please!
Nice touch because it’s so true what is more important the love of your life or your job. I’m always reminded that at the end of the day and hopefully all your friends will be gathered around at your funeral no one ever laments that you should have spent more time at work. Thanks P
Just keep me ‘fixed’ Pancha and I’ll be good to go!
Hey ,This is amazing. The gang or part of them Shane and Dana are wise,Alice is just plain nosey Get her a g/f . Like this Bette and Tina “IF ONLY” thanks
Your stories are helping to keep things calm on the chez Techie homefront. Can you arrange to have a new chapter ready every Monday after the show? …how about 10:00 CST? I need my fix. Thanks!
p, really enjoyed the post and T’s crush on MLP and coming to terms with her new life.
Tina as a full fledged adult? Not soley motivated by the baser emotions like fear? Interesting concept, just don’t expect it to fly in Hollywood.
Been playing catchup with this story…and after reading i think 2/3 chapters all great…This one was so needed i was seriously wondering about Tina there for awhile!!! nice touch with Shane but even better from Dana!!! so looking forward to Tina coming out…and the drama that your going to add..LOL.. lovin this
not the way I envisioned…huh???!!! Okay well I’m anxiously awaiting the introduction of Bette to Tina’s co-workers…..UPDATE SOON!!!!!!!!!!!
Ilene who? Pancha, you make life in Denialville so much easier. I love your writing and can’t wait for the next chapter. I’m pretty sure when S3 is released on DVD nobody will buy it…just like nobody buys Alf. Alf and The L Word S3 will be in the clearance bin together. I’m looking forward to finally being able to tear my eyes away from the train wreck that is S3 when it wraps up.
Yeah, another problem solved! What’s next?
I can totally picture Alice walking in on Bette and Tina and not being embarassed about it whatsoever. This is so great Pancha, I lurve your Bette and Tina! And hey, if things don’t work out at Alphaville, maybe JT can buy a movie studio for her or something? And while she’s at it, can you have her buy the Dallas Cowboys too? And then the gang can meet Carmen!
It wasn’t until I reached the end of the chapter that I realized I’d had a smile on my face throughout! Thanks!
I can count on you to make me happy. I am still trying to think positive but….
such a lovely chapter…love it…i’m glad tina was able to follow her friends’ advice…post soon, can’t wait to see how it will turn out and i think that her collegues will take it well
It is not always easy to take that step out of the closet especially when it involves the work place. Some people just have more guts to step out. I am glad that Tina is able to put her love for Bette first above her job.
Yay for talking. Your version of Bette and Tina make me smile and not want to put my head in the oven…which is a very good thing. Cheers.
Good chapter. Glad Tina take her step and cant wait to see her coming out at work and introduct Bette to her co-workers. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Sometimes the simpliest of comments or questions steer you in the right direction. And it’s usually said by those who wouldn’t ordinarily interject in the average conversation. LOL. Shane and Dana are both of few words, but when they do speak they speak volumes. Thanks for the update…looking forward to party.
Great chapter – more please, I’m looking forward to the party…bring it on :o))
woohooooooooooo!! u rock!!
