    As Good As It Gets – Chapter 4

    "Tina-"

    "If you’re going to lie to me, please don’t" Tina cut Bette off before she could get a proper sentence out, "I can see it in your eyes and I know you’re going to try and justify yourself but please just spare me and answer me truthfully"

    Bette pressed her lips together and let out a breath through her nose. She thought long and hard about her answer but she couldn’t seem to get the words out and for that, Tina got frustrated.

    "Is that why you look at me the way you do then look away with shame? Is that way you let Ava treat you the way she does? Because you don’t think you deserve anything better than what you have? Do you think you don’t deserve to be happy too?"

    Bette was a bit taken aback at Tina’s passionate outburst but she was finally able to say something. She spoke as truthful as possible.

    "No . . . I don’t, Tina. Why should I? Look what I’ve done"

    Tina saw the hurt and want in Bette’s eyes. She knew the brunette wanted more than she was allowing herself and hoped that maybe she could convince Bette to at least try to consider making a move in her favor. Tina didn’t even have herself in mind, it had nothing with wanting to be with Bette. She wanted Bette to find the strength to forgive herself and know that it was okay to be happy. Bette pulled up to Tina’s house but it was a self conscious move, neither woman really noticed it at first. Tina shifted her body to make better eye contact with the struggling brunette.

    "I may not have known you for long, Bette but I can easily tell how amazing you are. You’re strong and confident, smart and caring . . and yes you made a mistake but it was a mistake Bette. I’m not excusing what you did, I’m not saying it wasn’t wrong but you’re still bashing yourself over something that you’ve obviously paid the price for. Over something you did years ago. Jodi forgave you Bette so why are you still doing this to yourself?"

    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 :)
