Babe Chapter 4
“Can I get you something, tea, wine?”
“Tea would be nice.”
Tina settled on the chaise and waited for Bette to return. Bette came in with two mugs of tea; she placed one on the table at the end of the chaise for Tina and made to sit across from her on the couch.
“Come here.” Tina called and patted a spot on the chaise next to her. Bette warily moved to the spot Tina indicated. She settled at the end and carefully sipped her tea.
“Why did sleep with Candace?”
Bette looked up startled. They had never talked about Bette’s affair.
“Does it matter?” Bette asked warily. “I don’t see how this matters now.”
‘That’s almost what you said that morning at the Planet when I asked when you told her that I was the love of your life. It matters because that’s what tore us apart. I need to know so that I can know if there is a chance for us.”
“I thought that we already tried this and this past year is proof that there is no chance for us as life partners.”
“I’m not sure about that Bette. Do you still love me?”
“That’s irrelevant.”
“Do you still want me?”
“Tina.”
“Did you stop loving and wanting me, is that why you turned to Candace?”
“Of course not!” Bette responded with some heat. “I… I’m not sure that I can explain.”
“Let me try to help.” Tina interjected as she leaned forward and took one of Bette’s hands. Bette held her tea cup in the other. “I’m back in therapy and Gayle describes herself as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. Anyway she suggested that we communicate feelings that we can’t put into words in actions by creating a particular emotional drama for lack of a better term. She challenged me to see what happened between us, particularly what happened with you and Candace as you telling me something that you couldn’t communicate with words. She had me look at my feelings at you sleeping with Candace as a message. I felt hurt, betrayed and rejected. She asked how I had made you feel that way. That made sense to me. Did I do that to you, Babe?”

Wow…oh…wow….I don’t know wha…I’m speechless….I have so many thoughts going right now…I understand Tina’s need to get this out…I understand her pain…but wow…I’ll let someone else take this while I think this out….well written…well written.
Did Tina have to demean and possess Bette to make herself feel superior or in charge? At the end Bette was whimpering. Not only b/c of her orgasm but b/c she was completely dominated and subjected by Tina. Bette was humiliated by Tina.
Azmama…I kinda thought that too…but then I thought maybe Tina was trying to convey to Bette how she felt that Bette had no right to give herself to another and that she (and her heart belonged to Tina) Tina was maybe in a way reclaiming that….and that was the only way she knew how to express her feelings.
….and then I was like…what if Bette took Tina that way and said that to her after she was with Henry….will Bette do that next? This chapter was on fire…
This was a very powerful charged chapter, painful yet it was a turn on at the same time. I hope Bette and Tina can work this out, please continue.
Sky, I agree w/ you. I think it was Tina’s way of expressing Bette belonging to her. Any Whoo, good post!
WOW. I’ll agree that this chapter was on fire. However, it had potential to be an inferno. I understand what you were trying to do, but in reading this piece, I felt it was rushed. Bette rarely spoke, and that’s unusual for Bette. Tina’s stepping into a this role isn’t surprising because you explained it a la therapy. I really like this direction for certain reasons, but will PM you to elaborate on that and a few other things. Hope you don’t mind. PPS
Damn this is amazing!
Well, I don’t think Tina’s therapist told her to do *that*… Possessive much, T? Now, I don’t think Tina set out to humiliate Bette here. I got more of a “How could you?”-I’m-not-over-the-past-but-you’re-too-hot-to-resist kind of claim-staking vibe here. FLF stuff, with a wide possessive streak. And also regarding humiliation, I’m sure Tina is still feeling like she got punked via the whole Bette-Candace affair. She doesn’t still totally understand why Bette had the thing with Candace, and Bette hasn’t really said anything this chapter, so the mystery remains. And she’s obviously still hurt. All that being said, these two have a lot of working-things-out to do. Maybe since they’ve released a bit of tension now, they can. Don’t be discouraged, kelika, keep exploring it.
I agree with sky, Rau and also jp22. This was a well written chapter…can’t wait to read Bette’s answers. Don’t be discouraged by comments of those who disagree…keep on posting!
I think that Tina was just letting Bette Know that she belong to her and had know business giving something away that di belong to her, Just for Tina. The Tina showed Bette that was was hers could be given away also. Just write my head hurt from trying to come up with a good reason. Thanks
Geezus, that was so frsutrating!!! No, not your story but the fact that the site was so busy that I couldn’t get from p2 to p3 without it timing out!!!! I had to go do some writing to calm myself down. Now I think the psychodynamic therapist was right, I think Bette chose a biracial Candace exactly because of T’s hurt, betrayal & rejection demonstrated thru the Marcus as donor thing; and I think Bette loved Tina taking control as she did only because I know something about doing that sort of thing when you’re angry with your lover…it may seem harsh but demonstrating your anger at their infidelity in that way certainly lets them know that you love them and that you are reasserting your possession…I think you did great…carry on…I certainly will be hanging out for an update…
This was completely offensive to me. You don’t show love by dominating and degrading another, and you don’t show love by punishing them for the rest of their lives for one mistake. I won’t be reading further.
I know it has been almost ten years ago you made this comment, but I just found this story and one can tell that you are clearly a Tina hater, because to me Bette knew exactly what she was doing when she reached above and over Tina to put her glass on the table. She knows that Tina wants her and she didn’t want to talk about how SHE STARTED ALL THIS SHIT, BY CHEATING IN THE FIRST PLACE. Tina is just now realizing that Bette, needs to be reclaimed and let’s be honest, we know from the show in that confrontation sex scene at the end of season one, that Bette, could have stopped Tina at anytime, because she is stronger than her.
I betta make the line clearer…that Bette was hurt, betrayed and rejected by T over the Marcus as donor thing…I’m glad I didn’t read the other comments first…I rarely if ever do because I don’t want to be influenced by them…I think Bette got the point and probably loved it, the point I mean!!! but you’re the author and you might not see Bette as having got the point..she may resent it…BUT I do want her answers to Tina’s questions!!! when she recovers and can find her voice to tell the truth, her truth will do!!!
I think the thought of Candace being with Bette has just consumed Tina so much that she needed to reclaim what she feels is her’s. I think Tina went through Helena and Henry as a way to get over Bette. Once she realized that she couldn’t get over the love of her life, she needed a way to reclaim that love….maybe this is a way for them to work through all the hurt? This was a great chapter. It opens up alot of emotion that these two need to get through…and not just for each other….but for their daughter, as well. PPS.
WOW! That’s right T claim what’s yours. This post was in the words of Tony the tiger,’Greeaatt.
If the situation were reversed and Bette pinned Tina down and said you belong to me everyone would be turned on. Bette also made her share of mistakes and it wasn’t just the affair with Candace.
Oh so very true. She never defended Tina to her father, for one, I will let that be all, but we know that there are more.
