As Good As It Gets – Chapter 4
Bette had both hands on the steering wheel, her eyes focused on the dark road ahead as she tightened her grip. She was fighting back tears that were currently burning her eyes. She knew everything Tina was saying was true but her mind wouldn’t let herself admit that. Guilt was such a strong emotion.
"I love Ava to death, she’s my cousin and nothing will ever change that but the truth is . . . I see the way she treats you and I can tell the way she makes you feel. I know you still feel guilty for what happened between you and Jodi and I don’t know . . . maybe you feel that by making it right with her, you can fix the wrong you did with Jodi but I think you’re going about this all the wrong way Bette. I don’t think you deserve to be treated the way she treats you. I think you deserve so much better. You deserve to be happy, too"
"How do you know what I deserve?" The emotions surging through her body had suddenly become too much and the words escaped Bette’s lips before she had time to even process what she said. She in no way meant it in a hostile way but even with the whispered tone, they fell upon Tina in every wrong way possible. They hit her like a ton of bricks, she felt her own tears beginning to form.
When Bette realized what she said, it was already too late. Tina’s crying voice filled the silence in the car.
"I guess I don’t"
Bette turned her head to protest when Tina quickly unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car, "T-"
The car was slammed in her face before she could finish saying Tina’s name. It was like a whirlwind of events, spiraling out of control and Bette had no control over any of it. She got out of the car and was chasing after Tina before she could even process everything that was going on.
"Tina"
Bette stretched out Tina’s name as she walked as fast as her legs could take her, her heels clicking on the floor with each rapid step she took. She began to jog a bit when she noticed Tina picking up her own pace and flung open the first door of her building. Through the open door, Bette saw the open elevator door and jogged even faster. Tina was obviously trying to make it to the elevator before Bette could reach her but the brunette wasn’t having that.

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”.
wowowow soo romantic and beautiful story like this i love it thank you!!!
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.
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.
Hey now! My lips are tingling and I wasn’t the one being kissed. Nice update. Can’t wait for more.
That was awesome and can’t wait to see Bette dump Ava and Tina dump Sam. Please post more, thanks!
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
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! :)
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! :*
Amazing update love your story.Right direction.PPS
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.
I just read all 4 updates on your new story. I LOVE IT! I can’t wait to read more. Thank you for this excellent story.
