"What’s with you?" Her friend signed and Bette pursed her lips to hide her embarrassment.
"Nothing, I was just wondering when everyone was going to get here" Bette signed the words back but also spoke the words out loud so that Jodi could read her lips for the words she had not yet learned to sign.
"Bullshit" Jodi signed and said with a smile, "Aside from Alice and Dana, everyone is here"
"You forgot Ava and Helena" Bette signed with a smile.
"Well I know for one you wouldn’t go crazy over Helena not being here and the hell beast already told you that she wasn’t coming so I know she’s not the one you were thinking about" Jodi countered with a smirk. She and Bette had been friends for years, lovers for a much shorter time so Jodi knew how to read Bette fairly well.
"Why do you have to be so analyzing?" Bette eyed her friend suspiciously and tried to fight a smirk at Ava’s secret nickname. Shane made it up a year ago and apparently it grew on some people.
"Why do you have to be so evasive?" Jodi raised an eyebrow with an amused expression.
Bette laughed but offered no more, she knew what Jodi was getting at and Bette wasn’t ready to share. She didn’t even know what to call whatever it was she felt for Tina. She didn’t feel comfortable calling it a simple attraction, it was so much more than that.
When Bette noticed some old colleagues around her work, she excused herself to talk to them and left Jodi behind with a wondering smile. She hadn’t seen Bette that starstruck ever, not even when they were together. She knew only a woman had to be responsible and hoped that this mystery woman would be the one to finally bring Bette happiness.
Over the next half hour, Bette would look to the entrance whenever she saw movement in that direction. No matter how focused or engrossed in the conversation, the slightest shift would make Bette turn her head in hopes of seeing Tina.
"Jesus Porter, could you be any more mopey? You’re killing my buzz" Alice pursed her lips as she walked over to Bette with two drinks in hand and passing one over to the brunette.

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.
