As Good As It Gets – Chapter 19
Tina laughed though it was cut short by another round of coughs. Bette gave her some more water to help calm it down before gently brushing Tina’s hair from her face.
"Do you want me to make you some tea or soup? My culinary skills may not stretch that far but lucky for you those two things just happen to be my specialties"
Tina chuckled, holding back another wave of coughs before shaking her head.
"Maybe later. I just want you to hold me"
Tina weakly pulled Bette into bed to which the brunette happily complied. Tina would need to save her strength so wouldn’t be able to make the pre-show rehearsals, not that she minded of course.
Bette laid behind her, holding her close and placing a gentle kiss on her shoulder. With a soft smile, Tina slowly closed her eyes and felt herself drifting off to sleep. Though being sick was incredibly uncomfortable, Tina found comfort in laying there with Bette.
It could have been the pills that were starting to work but Tina doubted it, Bette always made her feel better.
Bette sighed deeply into Tina’s shoulder when she felt her lover’s breathing even out. It definitely wasn’t the best time to bring up the Ava situation and Bette knew that as she inwardly kicked herself for waiting so long in the first place. Would there ever be a good time?
She held Tina closet and swallowed hard, fighting back a wave of tears threatening to escape.
"Thank you"
Bette’s eyes widened at the sound of Tina’s voice, she thought the blonde was asleep.
"For what?" Bette’s words were a little shaky but Tina was too sick and tired to notice.
"For this. For taking care of me"
Bette swallowed again and this time the tears did fall, slipping down her cheeks and under her neck. Tina was always so appreciative and so wonderful, there were times where Bette felt she didn’t deserve her.
"I didn’t do much"
Tina snuggled closer, letting out a soft moan before drifting off sleep, "You did more than you know. I love you"
Bette pressed her lips together to cut back the sob threatening to escape. She couldn’t tell Tina about Ava, it would break her heart.

I love that they love each other so much and I hate eva thanks
Ava is evil. PPS
Omg😱
thank you so much for the timely post! Really enjoyed discovering more about the couple. I think 3 chapters is simply too short.
Oh shit, hope Tina are ok
thanks for the update. A cliffhanger is a cliffhanger… Hopefully, Tina won’t be injured by that scalawag, Ava.
Oh boy, that’s not good. Hopefully Tin’s voice doesn’t falter too badly on stage. Ava really should have acted on that fleeting feeling to walk away while she still could. I have a feeling someone is going to be giving her a beat down soon. Thanks for the post, Liah! :)
Hey, Ava. Karma’a a bitch. Hope Tina’s gonna be alright.
Loved that Bette took care of Tina. A shot of warm Jack or Johnny always did the trick for me when I had a cold, but a cold beverage…ugh. Karma’s a bitch and I’ll be waiting for it to knock on Ava’s door.
I’m bout tired of that bitch somebody needs to slap the shit out of her. PPS
I’m with Onestorm…I said it before insane asylum for Ava! Please! Lol she’s cray cray crazy! O.o
I can’t wait for Ava to get what’s coming to her!!!!
I hope Tina will be fine,she don`t deserve this.Thank you for the update.PPS
