And Yet
“No.” They were going to spend a quiet afternoon in the apartment. Hoping for a visitor. The one who just arrived.
The women moved to the kitchen. Tina filled the pot knowing Bette would welcome a warm drink. Reaching into the cupboard she selected a packet for herself as well as her companion’s favorite. She hummed while completing the task.
“So.”
“Hmm….”
“I talked to Jodi.”
Tina couldn’t help but swallow quickly. She was dying to turn to Bette and ask for the conclusion. She didn’t need to hear the build-up. All she was eager to know was whether they had a future together.
“We went to that Ethiopian restaurant on Tuesday.”
With her heart pounding Tina could barely make out what Bette was saying.
“You talked to her on Tuesday?” Her voice was louder than she meant it to be. She darted a glance at Angelica who looked her way. She smiled and her young one returned the act.
“Yes.” Bette took three strides to stand next to Tina. “I needed some time to put things together myself.”
That didn’t sound promising. If anything it sounded ominous. Five days. It took her that long to piece things together. Piece things together with which one of them in the picture?
“And have you?” Tina tried to keep the edge out of her voice but failed terribly.
“Tina look at me.”
She looked up. Then down. She glanced to her left before turning to finally face Bette. Her Bette. The woman who was everything to her and more.
“Just tell me.” Tina appealed, “Please just tell me.”
“Do you want to go to the beach?” Bette reiterated her interest, “Because I do.”
Tina’s brow furrowed like it never had before. “What?”
“I thought we could all go.” The brunette persisted.
“Are you serious?” A clearly tense Tina asked, “You said you talked to Jodi and that’s all you have tell me?”
“What’s wrong with me wanting to spend time with you and Angie?”
“Other than I’ve been hoping you would come by everyday and didn’t? Other than the fact that I miss you?” The blonde rushed, “How happy I am you’re here now but totally surprised by your news?”
Bette innocently deflected, “Oh. I didn’t tell you what I told her did I.”

I loved it, timeline or no timeline.
Just as the first time you presented this story, I felt that you had a better handle on Tibette than the writers of the show. They need to take a refresher course taught by you.
Even better the second time around!!!! :)
Thanks for reposting the story in its entirety. I enjoy your approach to the characters and the explanation of motive is often what we don’t see. Thanks for writing, and I hope you have time to share more soon.
i love how you’ve put all the chapters together. it does give a better sense of continuity. and also gives me another reason to read it again (and again).
”…the timeline is not perfect. ” Never worry about that, lwordid. (*my feeling is that anyone who watches tlw has already been innoculated against timeline detail frets. ;-) _ thanks for writing!
aww…loved it and i read the whole thing again, it worked better this way :)
simply lovely……great “stolen” line too! thx for this :-)
12 pages and still not enough! Thanks for putting all the chapters together and allowing your readers to enjoy this story in its entirety. Great stuff, as usual. Thanks for this.
