A Long Walk – 3
Bette smiled. "That’s nice."
"It is. I could spend hours whinging about the problems I have, but it’s all moot when I’m around her."
Bette tilted her head to the side. "What are your problems?"
Tina laughed softly. "Right now, I don’t have any."
Bette smiled at her, which Tina returned.
"What about you?" Tina asked.
"What?"
"Any major life problems you want to talk about?"
"Do I look like I’m having major life problems?" Bette retorted.
Tina laughed. "No, I’m kidding."
"No, tell me: am I someone who looks like I have some heavy burden on my shoulders?"
"No, Bette, I was kidding." Tina assured her. "You look good."
"Now, see, there’s a compliment. Feel free to throw a couple more my way."
Tina laughed, before turning to finish eating her cake slice.
"I have to ask you something." Bette suddenly said.
"Shoot." Tina grinned. "As long as you’re not gonna try to convince me that I’m the only one who finds this all awkward and hard to navigate."
Bette nodded. "I promise."
"Ask."
"Don’t you miss LA?" Bette asked. "You’ve kept in touch with Alice, and Shane. Don’t you miss West Hollywood?"
"Sure," Tina nodded. "I miss it, it’s home. But I moved to New York, and that’s home now. For three years, that’s what it is."
"Think you’re going to stay there permanently?"
"I don’t see why not." Tina replied. "I mean, except for the part where you could have more time with Angelica, there really isn’t much of a compelling reason for me to move back to LA."
"Your friends are there."
"I have friends in the city." Tina looked at her.
Bette studied Tina for a moment, then leaned back. "You’re different from when you left."
"I’ve had to be strong, you know, for Angelica." Tina replied.
"It couldn’t have been that easy."
"Angelica makes it all worth it." Tina couldn’t help her smile as she thought of her daughter. "No matter how difficult it gets, I look at her, and I think, it’s worth it. I would suffer anything to not miss a minute of her life."

i own both movies and i absolutely love them, i hope this walk will be very long and bring them on to one path – together, as a family with angie
Hmm. I keep reading so it’s definitly interesting. But I don’t know if like the story. Figure that out. :) I guess the one thing that bothers me is Tina’s attitude toward Bette and how she treated her. It seems really lax and easygoing. Like it was no big deal that she is not only a lesbian again but with Helena of all people. Like that would have no effect on Bette? I guess being Italian-American I can identify more with yelling and angry gestures.
I never saw those two movies so I am hoping for a good ending and not one that they become good friends. Bette and Tina belong together and no one should come between them. Beside Angelica would probably love to have both of her mothers in the same town and hopefully in the same house as her.
I 2nd B&TF sentiment. How ever long you need to take them, please let them find a way back to each other. How is Tina going to explain to Bette about dating H after men? Please update soon.
I really, really like this story. Looking forward to the walk in the park. You have some of the best dialogue on this site!
I absolutely love tina in this story!!!! Please continue, and although I am dieing to see bette and tina get back together, I will read no matter what the outcome…unless somehow you find a way of putting bette with helena…yuck…please post soon!!!!!
I hate the fact that Bette can’t pretend as good as Tina does. But hey, good story.
Maybe deep down Tina went back to Helena hoping it might one day lead her back to Bette. There are so many comments these two make that make me cringe, but for some reason they just roll with it. If I ever got to be in their shoes, I don’t think I could joke about my ex’s track record with regards to getting pregnant, or any and all affairs, etc. Some things I just don’t find funny at all.
It’s good, I’m intrigued…
They dance together very smoothly.
i like that reference to the Grudge 2 in story two. This side of bette and tina is definately interesting to read about
wonderful! makes it so worthwhile to stay up this late!thanks!
There is much unresolved baggage between them because it comes to the surface very quickly. But they are also quick to acknowledge it and I like how your Tina will engage Bette, unlike TV Tina. Anyway, I’m enjoying this and I’ll follow where you lead.
*sigh* Delightfull
Brilliant :) keep it coming
Seeing them together like this is very interesting and lovely. Let’see what else they will get up to.
amazing…keep going!
least their friends, but honestly, you know we want more, take how ever long you want, we don’t mind, I do like Helena, but with Tina ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm NO lol
GOOD CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!
They so obviously aren’t just “friends”. Looks like they are in for a very long walk together. Lovely story, thank you so much!
You make me not hate Tina and at this point that’s quite a compliment! :) Hope there’s happy B&T ending in store.
This is wonderful. Thank you.
I love this Tiff. time appart and they are still dancing with each other around the issue neither will admit too…& teasing too – wiffs of still sexual tension me thinks?
I feel like Tina is very nervous..they both are. Trying to hide their true feelings. keep em coming Tiff
still dunno where’s this going. between b&t,there’s definite chemistry as always. :P
I’m very intrigued!
the way u write i can visualize this whole discussion!!
They act like they pick Anglica out of a peach tree and they where not together for 8 yrs. Bette is still in love with Tina is Tina in love with Bette that is the question. I’m sure you will set me straigh on that thanks
Both movies got rave reviews, so I guess I’m on solid ground treading down this path with these former lovers. I watch the movies after this is done. Don’t want any foreshadowing.
i only can see that B&T love each other so much! i hope they cand find the way! excellent post
this is getting better and better, just love their dialogue.
