    As Good As It Gets – Chapter 4

    Tina nodded, swallowing the lump that had formed in her throat. She saw the tears well up in Bette’s eyes and wanted to brush them away but was afraid the gesture would be too personal, especially when Bette was being so open. Tina was afraid it would make her self-conscious and back off.

    "And did you?"

    Bette nodded as the tears began to stream down her cheeks, "And it was one of the worst arguments I ever had. I hurt her, Tina. I hurt her more than I could have ever imagined. I never wanted to hurt her and I hate myself for what I did to her. She wasn’t the same after that"

    "But you two are friends now" Tina tried to bring in some hope to the sad story. She saw the deep remorse in Bette’s eyes and felt something deep for the broken brunette in front of her. She had her own thoughts about cheating and wasn’t one to tolerate it but she hated how Bette beat herself up about it even after so many years that passed. It wasn’t healthy.

    "It took some extensive therapy before she even considered seeing me but eventually . . . yeah . . we talked . . and fought . . then we talked some more but after a while, we became more civil with each other. I think it was when she realized that I wasn’t going to leave her alone. I knew I didn’t deserve to have her back in my life but I wanted to at least try to make up for what I did to her. I didn’t want to lose her completely from my life"

    "And how do you feel now that you were able to at least keep her friendship?" Tina wanted to smile at the calmness she saw in Bette even though the brunette was really upset. It made her feel proud to know that she was capable of keeping Bette together, it was something she wanted to do more often. Something told her Ava didn’t do it enough, or at all.

    1. Neither one is married to their GFs so break it off as gently as possible and then see where their relationship can go. It may burn fast and furious and then flame out or it might be the “Eternal Flame”.

    2. Thanks for the posting… Wow! I wish that relationships didn’t get into the desperation phase when their time of completion was over.I know that letting go is hard but when the relationship has come to its end being miserable is truly not the way to go. Holding on to something that isn’t there is a cruel thing to do to yourself. Life is too short to be so miserable. Let go to Sam, Tina! Let go of Ava, Bette. Its okay to do that as being miserable is not evolving. guess maybe its a fear that everyone will look at us as being failures in a relationship, but honestly that isn’t what the truth of it is. Others come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime… to reflect back to us parts of ourselves… our past, our present or a possible future.

    3. Oh, WOW!!! This will be the forever kind of love with these two when they finally get together. Please let them both know somehow that their girlfriends are having affairs and they don’t have to be feeling guilty to break off their respective relationships. They are so right for each other. Awesome chapter. Thanks.

    4. loving it! I just think if Tina is so eager to get Bette to realize that Tina’s is better for her than Ava then Tina should not seem guilty about Sam, I mean she shouldn’t seem unsure herself. Hope to read more soon Liah! Thanks :D

    5. I hope Bette has now gotten all the encouragement she needs to do the right thing and end it with Ava. Tina has some thinking of her own to do. In the mean time, Helena needs to give up with the pursuit of Tina already. But… if she waits around long enough, she can be there to “console” Ava. They would likely be a perfect match. ;) Thanks for the post, Liah! :)

    6. still with your big smile, just like us when we see each new chapter, your story is amazing and well written. wait to read more, please still post often! :*

    7. There is an analogy that I have in mind for Bette and Tina’s situation but words fail me right now. I love where you have taken this story, I feel like you’re trying on something new. You’re doing a great job conveying Bette’s turmoil, and I love that you made Tina intuitive enough to pick up on it. The fact that she had the audacity to bring it up shows immense courage. I’m glad that they’re taking time apart to evaluate their own relationships. Doing the right thing in other words. I have a question for you, do you feel that a story is easier to write if sides are black and white and Bette and Tina’s? They’re both unhappy in their current relationships and should be with each other. Would they have felt the same way about each other if they were happy with their girlfriends? Ok that’s 2 questions but I just love how you weave your stories. You really do love us. Thank you for the awesome post Miss Liah. I hope I don’t offend you with my questions.

    8. Oh this just getting more, and more interesting . I can’t wait to see how each will handle this situation. And how they deal with they feel about each other. What will each decide and will they end up together . Can’t wait post soon

    9. WOOOOOW. That kiss was better than anything I could have expected! I love this story, so full of emotion I can feel it all over my own being. Amazing writing :)
