She looked at Bette, but Bette’s eyes were cast down. Their hands remained together.
“I… I don’t know. You caught me off guard,” Bette admitted.
“The other night you acted as if you wanted me.”
“I do want you, Tina.” Bette looked directly at the other woman, holding her gaze. “It was just not what I had expected.”
“I don’t know what that means.”
“It means I was uncertain, I didn’t expect you to make the first move.”
“Why would you think I wouldn’t be interested?”
“It’s not that I don’t think you’re not interested.” Bette started running her thumb across the back of Tina’s hand. “It’s just that it throws me off guard when you’re like that.”
“Because you have to be the one to initiate sex?” Tina knew her words held a harsh tone.
“I don’t need that, T. I don’t,” Bette repeated trying to sound reassuring. “But it’s what I was used to.”
“Perhaps we each need to get used to new things.”
“I think we do. I did a lot of meditating, getting myself ready for this trip.”
“I didn’t know I was such work.” Tina tried to pull her hand away, but Bette kept a light grip that convinced her to remain in the other woman’s grasp.
“It’s not work, Tina. I just want to do thing differently. Sometimes, I think we got so used to each other that it’s difficult to realize where the problems were. We were too close to see them.”
“I suppose.” Tina could feel that Bette was being honest. “But Bette, things are going to change.”
“I know. I do know that. And I want that.”
“That’s one of the things we did wrong before. We fell into roles that weren’t healthy. It important that we step out of those bad habits.”
“That’s what Dan Foxworthy said.”
“You went to see Dan Foxworthy?”
“I’ve been seeing Dan Foxworthy, off and on, since you moved out. Actually, I started when you were pregnant, that day when we went to the ultrasound.”
The thought of that day made Tina smile. She’d felt so close to Bette, and needed to demonstrate that need. Those same feelings also had led to an encounter with Helena that spelled the beginning of the end of that relationship.
“Anyway, he told me to I had to expect changes. I suppose it took your leaving for me to really hear that advice.”
“But then I got involved in another relationship. You got involved with someone else.”
“I wanted that feeling,” Bette admitted. “The early romance. But I realized that what I really wanted was what I had.”
“You won’t have what you had, Bette. I’ve changed. You’ve changed.”
“And we’ll change more. But don’t you think we have a chance?”
“I hope we do,” Tina admitted. She gave Bette’s hand a squeeze. I certainly hope that we do.

A durrrrrrrrrr of course they have a chance!
You’ve got to post more often, cause I’m sitting here wondering what the problem is. I’m willing to bet that if Bette puts her mind to it (or perhaps some other part of her person), she will not have ANY problem with Tina initiating sex. Again, what problem?
Talking things through instead of jumping in head first isn’t a bad thing with B&T. Thanks for the update!
I was extremely happy to see this post. I have been thinking about this story and hoped to see a post soon. I click on over her and ta da there it is. They both have grown and will continue to grow hopefully with each other. Every time Angie says No and giggles, I seem to giggle right along with her. That is so cute (not me giggling but Angie).
Great to see the update. Looking forward to more.
cool story plz continue
This is still such a delightful story. Thanks!!
Well, I certainly hope they do too. Talking is the first step toward that chance, because that is certainly something they didn’t do much of when they were together. I love this story and I was glad to see an update.
You gotta give it a shot girls…for us please!:) PPS
Thank you so much for the post, I really have missed this story. Looking forward to your next post!
I am glad that you have Bette and Tina really talking and starting to work things before jumping back into Tibette world. It’s good for the two of them to truly share what they are thinking and feeling. Wonderfully written!
Glad they have a chance and now let see their new start.
” But don’t you think we have a chance?” …YES, YES, YES!!!! …I’m like a dog with a bone with this story. I will growl and bite if anyone tries to take it away. Thanks for posting!
Great to see you back and on form – as always:-)
I hope they do too… love this story… PPS
they have a chance, awesome update loving this! :)PPS
Of course they have a chance, they’ll just have to take their time and do it right. Glad to see you back, pseud. Post when you can. Thanks
Thanks for taking the time. Nice to see some communication between them – something we’re so sorely lacking in the show. More when you can please!
interesting to see you pick up the thread again on the storyline they introduced in season two (Tina being more sexually aggressive, Bette being thrown) and then dropped.i love your writing. and thanks for promoting the site– imagine not having it!
Please have your Bette wear that black suit/pink blouse combination she wore in the S1 dinner with Melvin. The costume dept. in Vancouver seems to have lost it. …SAVE AMY WINEHOUSE!!!
to the point and clear. its good to hear them communicate. more when you can please. thx
I really enjoy this story, I’m glad you brought it back. For all the ‘processing’ we were promised, we didn’t see much this season–I love that you are making them talk and think and yes ‘process’ with each other. Great update!
So glad to see you and this story once again.
i hope they do have the chance too
i’ve been waiting…thank u…more soon?
