When I turned, I felt Tina grab my hand, “No, wait, Bette. Please. I’m sorry.” I turned to look in her eyes. “Please, can’t we go somewhere to talk?”
“Tina,” I winced. “I really don’t see the point.”
“Please!” Tina pled, squeezing my hand and pulling me off in the direction of the restroom.
The room adjacent to the restroom was more like a women’s lounge area. It had a small table and a couple of loveseats in a cozy corner.
Tina strode purposefully to one of the sofas and sat down, then tugged on my hand. I reluctantly seated myself some space away from her. Tina scooted towards me, closing up the span between us. She reached up and caressed my face with her hand, her misty eyes staring into mine.
“Bette,” she said softly, “what if I told you I think I made a mistake? I want to try again. I still love you.”
I reached up and took her hand, removing it from my face. I placed her hand in her lap and let it go.
“Tina. My dear Tina. It seems to me I heard you say something very similar to that just before Angelica was born, only the words were, ‘I want to move back into our house. I want all of us to have a home together.’ You moved back into the house, but we never had a ‘home’ together. And I had been so hopeful. I had dreamed of you coming back to me for so long. But then you wouldn’t let me touch you. You constantly found fault and criticized me. I felt as if you tried at every turn to punish me and push me away. And I realize I’m not an innocent party in the mess that became our lives together, but I desperately needed your forgiveness and you never granted it to me. Not in word. Not in deed. We’ve done nothing but hurt each other in the past couple of years.” I stopped and took a deep breath before proceeding. “And I certainly don’t understand your resurgent interest in men. That really just about destroyed me, Tina.”
“But Bette, didn’t you just hear me, I still love you…” Tina interrupted.
“I’m not finished yet, Tina. Now listen to me. I think you’re just experiencing an acute bout of jealousy right now. I know you love me. And I love you. I always will. But it’s not the same. It never will be again. The best I can hope for is that we can put away the verbal boxing gloves and love our daughter. And I just hope I’ve learned from my mistakes, so I can love better next time.”

Groowwll!! Nice ending!!! I liked how you handled the Tina situation as well, carry on!!
Well, Tina took it pretty well, even if she was kind of a jerk. I wonder if Helena was able to teach Peggy something about discretion, old dog, new trick. There is some hope because it sounded like Peggy took a page out of Alice’s book. So, Peggy’s a salty dog and and her daughter’s a feline sort. No wonder they fight.
that’s hot! =) waiting for more!
I missed the chance to comment last chapter. 1st, I have to agree with Susanah. I am so sick of Alice acting like it was she and Bette who’d been together 8 years. Hell, it was just a few weeks and she keeps holding on to that the same way Tina is holding on to her anger. Loved how pleasant you made the Tina encounter; although I don’t think she deserved such gentleness.
Ahh, nice! Tina did take that decently enough though she still held that air of Tina-ness so it was very believable! sexy ending and another good chapter. :)
cool chapter…maybe tina will finally, finally – i say – grow up! the chemistry between b&h is soooo palpable. thanks!
I’d like to become a member of the I fucked Bette Porter Club, but for now I’ll settle for honorary status….LOL. I almost caught myself feeling bad for Tina but then i realized that she screwed everything up by going back to Bette after Jely was born but not being completely committed to fixing that relationship. Tina needs to realize that sometimes love isn’t enough and it’s not a reason to stay in an unhappy relationship. I believe that Bette does still love Tina, but like she said she’s in love w/ Helena. Post soon zheese (pretty please)
I just hope Tina stay away and not make trouble…Post soon!
Good chapter Zheese. You handled the Tina situation very well. I myself don’tlike confrontations either so I understand your reasons to write it this way very well. Keep up the good work girl
Nice writing… Bette is the confrontional type though, and I can’t see Tina so calm too… But please continue!
yeah, I agree with skycaptain, Tina so calmly is a little unbelievable… but nice as well :D I’m glad she can understand that B&H really love each other and that she cannot ruin that. And as much as I don’t like confrontations, I think they are always due to the ex partner and Bette was totally doing the right thing letting Tina talk to her. Those two tigresses are sooo fucking hot :D
hi..haven’t left a comment here in a while but thought i might this time because i was very impressed with the way you handled the Tina confrontation. well done! thank you
This is good writing, I can’t picture Tina being THAT calm though…they’re sitting around like they are having tea talking about feelings…lol…there HAS to be some more drama coming. please post soon.
Great update, zheese. Thanks! You handled the Tina & Bette situation well.
it was good to see tina act in a civilized way upon hearing about helena and bette. I cant wait for the next chapter of love making : )
Zheese, Brilliant. I adored Tina’s reaction to Bette and Helena’s love affair. Then topped with Bette’s stance over her new realtionship. Really awesome and astounding writing. I do agree that Tina threw away the best thing in her life when she cheated on Bette. Now that ship has truly sailed as Bette and Helena continue on the “Love Boat” cruise of lust, longing and love. More please real soon as I can’t get enough of your wondrous words. The conversations just ring true. Thank you. Your Loyal Fan.
Very well done Zheese, the Tina situation was handled very weel, LOVE Peggy and her outbursts, now i too would love to become a member of the ‘i fucked Bette Porter club’. Bette and Helena, sexy as ever. Can’t wait for the next one!
