If she was to be honest with herself, she forgot about Bette too. She was starting a new life in a new city. She had found new friends. She had found herself.
Tina glanced down at her polo shirt and brown Dockers. To anyone who saw her now, they would see a preppy butch with a serious demeanor who surely meant business. A far cry from who she used to be. Tina the pushover. Tina who lived with a man. Tina who was, as she later realized, a high femme. Tina laughed softly to herself. Nothing wrong with that, I just feel more confident and comfortable in my skin now.
"Hey Max, thanks for making the move with me." Tina reached over and punched Max lightly on the upper arm.
Max blinked and stretched. "Sure, dude. No problem. I was going to move back to LA anyway. I was lucky you were going too. Saved me the bus fare."
*****
Tina wrung her hands as she watched Bette pull away. When she lost sight of Bette’s car down the street, she quickly ran to the bedroom and took out the luggage she’d hidden in the closet. Her heart was pounding and she questioned for the hundredth time if she was doing the right thing.
Not giving herself time to change her mind, she quickly called a cab. Not ten minutes later, a yellow cab screeched into her driveway. She flung her luggage into the trunk and jumped into the cab. She gave directions to the airport and patted the plane ticket that was sticking out of her purse.
Throughout the cab ride, she wondered how Bette would react to her letter. She was sure Bette had found it already, and was just nervous that Bette would try to stop her. She almost wished Bette would.
The cab swerved to avoid a Saab and Tina’s eyes widened when she saw that it was Bette’s car. She ducked down until she was sure the Saab had passed.
Why was she doing this? Why was she leaving everything, and Bette, behind? Because, Tina knew, she had to. As she and Bette spent more time together, she was finding out things about herself that she could not understand. Why was she suddenly dreaming of Bette, of being in Bette’s arms? Why was she suddenly craving Bette to be around all the time? And what did all that say about her? She was with Eric, for Christ’s sake.

I’m actually more worried that Tina’s been seriously ill than that she’s turned into some über butch bad-girl-Casanova and has slept her way through the Pacific Northwest over the last 4 years… And I hope Bette doesn’t need 4 years to make the changes she’s going to need to make in order to stop living a half-life, longing for something that can’t be, and start living fully… maybe even with Tina around. This was so good I needed to read it twice, 7. ;) Thanks again! :)
Wow! Interesting. PPS
This is very intersting and like it!
Interesting… re-growing hair, flat chest… (should I worry?) and Dockers? I think Tina is in for a shocker, once she realises just how long Bette wanted someone back that was never, and is never, going to come. And why does Tina want someone that she admittedly forgot, whether out of selfishness or necessity? Tina’s clearly no longer the person that Bette thought she loved, maybe that’s going to be harder for Bette to take than the 4-year absence. How Tina works Bette into her new life is going to be interesting, to say the least. I *really* want to see where this is going next. Thanks, 7, and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate! :)
Interesting is an understatement, isn’t it? I find myself intrigued and I wrote this stuff! jp22 I love how you noted that Tina, Bette’s Tina, “was never, and is never, going to come.” Great catch there!
oh gosh.. what’s with the 540 degree change in Tina? =O I hope Bette can see past everything and still see the Tina that she knew and loved. And hopefully she won’t be too hurt that Tina “forgot” about her! Hopefully, Tina will start regretting that she didn’t contact Bette earlier! Thanks for posting and I can’t wait for the next installment! =)
Oh My sounds like Tina really really changed…..I am not sure Bette will see tina at all…the Tina she loved and waited for 4 years
Oh wow! This is a turnabout. I hope Bette sees it’s still her Tina. Thank you for the update. :)
Tina as a stone cold butch? Ha! I’m eager to see how this different slant plays out! Thanks!
OH MY 7, please, please tell us Tina has bandages over a newly remove tat or sunburn or or or something other that breast removal. Is she now Tommy or is she still Tina, you did leave Max, Max and not Moria and did refer to her as “her” not him so if all that we assume is true please at least have someone there for Bette when she has to find this out. Thank you, Md aka Oma
jp22 expressed my sentiments exactly and the whole time while i was reading all i could think of was WOW…interesting, i’m really looking forward to see Bette’s reaction to butch bad girl Tina…you keep surprising me 7PM and it’s a very good thing, and just like Tina, i hope she’ll get the girl
Oh gosh, what has happened to Tina while she was gone? Does the re-growing of hair and a flat chest speak of a very serious illness and chemotherapy treatment. Can hardly wait to see what happens next and how Bette will receive Tinas presence. Thanks for posting.
