Bette Forgets 49
With a swallow I pick up the journal and see a small smile grace my loves face. The journal that I hold in my hands is thick leather bound volume. It automatically falls open to a certain page.
I find myself wanting to kill myself for the crimes that I committed against Bette. I find myself not being able to live with the guilt. After being diagnosed with the Leukemia I figure it is God’s way of punishing me. I gladly accept whatever he deems to give to me.

I had a visit with Bette today, an amazing visit. I could see my child thriving within her and she looked well. As soon as she saw me she knew my plan, knew what I was thinking, how I wanted to let this damned cancer take me. What she spoke was the truth that I was taking the easy way out and dying now wasn’t showing to her that I was willing to spend the rest of my life in eternal servitude for what I did to her.
I deserve as much. For this I am going to fight this infernal disease and live the rest of my life trying to repent for my crimes. Knowing that she forgave me makes this all a little easier, but I often find myself wondering:
Is it true forgiveness?
I lift my eyes form the journal to see Bette studying me intently.
“It was wasn’t it,” I ask her
“Yes.”
I take this in for a moment, “Why?”
Bette narrows her eyes slightly, “Why did I truly forgive him?”
I nodded my head, “Yes.”
She sighs at this, “Because I could.”
This sinks in my mind. Because I could. That is a novel concept to try and understand. She forgave Gracy because she had the capacity to do such. It really shows what a big heart she has and how she is such an amazing person. I often find myself comparing this new Bette to the old Bette. The comparison is probably unfair to her but I can’t help myself sometimes.
Her heart allows her to forgive where I know she wouldn’t have before. Before she would have held her anger in till it exploded on her one day, or on some unsuspecting bystander. She was careful not to explode upon me. This new Bette, though, takes things as they come. Allows for forgiveness in her everyday life.

What a tease!!
im waiting. and i know it will be good. this has been a wild and great ride. dont believe what b&tf said. she is beautiful. and smart also. soon please.
OMG you tease. LMAO…. TOTALLY AWESOME BABE. I love it and can’t wait.
I think if my wife said to me the reaction i had to you was nothing compared to what i had for this woman no matter how secure the relationship was i would be devastated.
Damn what a cliff hanger, and yeah 50 should be post soon tonight and more right. Please post soon, thanks! Good chapter!
This russian beauty was so spectacular Bette still seems to be shattered speaking about her right now. Bette didn’t need to say she never felt that kind of reaction with Tina, it should be considerate even if she knows Tina is totally secure. I only hope Bette won’t say sex was better with this russian woman than with her actual life even if it’s right. I believe some things don’t need to be say. Of course, it’s your story and I can only say thank you to write it.
Reba,
Nearly a half century and still refreshing and intriguing but what a naughty gal you are; leaving us all hanging there. Much is expected of Chapter 50 but I know that you are more that able to tantalize us with your talent.
Tina’s reaction was honest although I know that I would be suspicious and slightly disappointed if my girlfriend had suddenly admitted this revelation about her first time. Unfortunately it would niggle at me that there was a bit of a lack of trust.
I do admire the way that you have kept Bette so full of fun and humor with such a capacity for forgiveness. Tina is starting to appreciate this New and Improved Bette.
Please post soon as I am desperate to see where this leads next.
Thanks for all the energy and effort that writing this work entails. It is appreciated.
Your Loyal Fan.
Hey Reba I’m still catching up that was so Great I Love it Please post soon.
50 and going strong — congrats! And thanks…this story just keeps getting better and better.
50, Wow! Congratulations. OK so you know your writing is great you’ve kept us wanting more after 50 chapters. We are hooked so you don’t have to resort to tantalizing teasers to keep our attention. That’s so not fair. :)
