    Author Notes:

    Tina responds to Bette’s lack of time….

     

    She sat beside Tina on the bench and took one hand in hers.

     

    Whats going on? Bette asked quietly.

     

    Tina kept her head down as she spoke. She wanted to be angry, but felt the emotion in her throat as she attempted to relay what she was feeling.

     

    Youve done nothing but make time for me the last three weeks, Bette, she began, trying to keep her feelings in check. Weve just spent a a wonderful, emotionally and physically satisfying weekend together, and the last words out of your mouth this morning before stepping into the shower said to me that my time was up in terms of maintaining your attention.

     

    Bette thought back to what she had said. There was nothing but truth to Tinas words. She had gone out of her way to ensure she was able to spend time with Tina. Was she really so shallow that she was only willing to make the time when it suited her needs and just when Tina might need her for support, she was going to let her manage alone? Bette thought it was time her actions reflected her intent, rather than the vision she wished to portray to the world. She moved her fingertips down the side of Tinas cheek and, once reaching her chin, lifted it so she could see her eyes as she spoke. She felt an ache when she saw how glassy Tinas eyes were, and realized why she had kept her head bowed.

     

    Im sorry I made you feel that way, Bette began. I will make time for you this week. I promise, I will. I forget that this is so much more for you than dating someone new and you need to be able to talk about that and answer some questions in your own mind. Do you feel like you have someone you can talk with about us? I mean other than me.

     

    Tina laughed at the discovery she was about to share with Bette.

     

    Well, I was going to get some input from Alice, she said, shaking her head as she took Bettes hand. We didnt really get too far into the conversation when something else came up about you two that was pretty much the last thing I expected to hear

     

    Bette knew immediately what that something else must have been. Alice really needed a lesson in engaging the brain prior to placing mouth into gear.

     

    When did you talk to Alice, Bette asked, doing her best to keep her voice from sounding as annoyed as she was.

     

    When you were in the shower, Tina replied. She then felt she had to defend Alice. Dont be mad at her for telling me Bette. She wasnt being malicious.

     

    I know shes not being malicious, I just wish shed think before she spoke sometimes, thats all. Bette said. It was hard enough to begin the journey to a new relationship without having such obstacles thrown in your path, she thought to herself.

     

    Actually, that reminds me, Tina said. Alice was leaving a message on the machine and said it was important, but she never did say why she was calling.

     

    Oh, do allow me to return her call, Bette stood and tightened the belt on her robe. She started to walk away, but had a second thought and returned to stand in front of Tina as she spoke. I meant it when I said Id make time for you this week.

     

    I appreciate it, Tina replied. I think I need you to make the time for me. She wasnt accustomed to feeling so needy – there was no other word for it, but there were so many questions running through her mind that needed answering, she didnt want to let them linger too long.

     

    Bette turned to make the call to Alice, doing her best to maintain a calm demeanour in light of what had transpired that morning.

    4. My mouth dropped open when I read your authors comments. I couldn’t believe what forward thinking and understanding husband and girlfriend you must have. Then I kept reading and almost wet myself I was laughing so hard :).
      Great post by the way!

    5. Hey Fins, great chapter. Sometimes, Bette is just thoughtless, it seems to be in her nature, but I am glad that Tina called her on it. Bette just needs the obvious pointed out to her. Have a great time in Canada. Looking forward to your next, long post!!!

    6. you had my jaw-dropped!!!!!!!! i was readin over and over again…thinkin to myself WTF?! LMAO~!!! you got me there! oo~glad your anniversary went well…enjoy your trip to Toronto. do post soon!!

    15. When I read Bette’s statement from the last chapter – that they’d have to wait until the weekend to get together – I thought, “Big deal. What’s the problem?”
      This chapter explains Tina’s isolation very well.
      Thank you for making her dilemma and pain palpable.

      As for you and your GF/Husband contretemps, I’m just going to assume that you temporarily took leave of your
      senses when you wrote that note.
      The fic is still among the best on here – and that’s what counts. Girlfriend, husband, editor, no editor, whatever it takes! It’s obviously working for you. And for us.
      Thanks for another well-written chapter! Enjoy Toronto!

    16. That was so well done. Yes Alice stuck her foot in it but Bette left it out there in the first place. Well done. Thanks and have a great trip. Travel safe.

    22. OMG, I read that “husband” line over 5 times thinking to myself WTF? Internet freak! lol I’m glad you just have a grilfriend and I’m also very happy that she appreciated her lady’s talents!!
