A shrug.
“C’mon, Jess. I’m trying to get to know you. Am I so horrible?”
She looked up, eyes narrowed. Somehow, to her, I was. I scooted down the bed, putting a hand on her shoulder. “Jess.”
With surprising speed she knocked my arm off her shoulder with the pillow, and then scooted to the far side of the bed, holding out the pillow as if it were protection.
“You don’t have to pretend. She’s not here.”
“Jess.”
She was slipping off the far edge of the bed, slipping away from me.
“Jess. Talk to me. What’s going on.”
Again, the hard glare. “You know.”
It’s tempting to laugh but I really don’t want to slight her feelings. Whatever she is feeling is obviously very real to her.
“Jess.”
“Stop it. Stop it now.” She sunk down onto the floor on the other side of the bed, again clutching the pillow.
“Jess?”
“Get away.”
“Jess.”
She pulled the pillow away. Her face was red and blotchy. And tears, and I’m sure there were some, had been absorbed by the pillow. “I said get away. Leave us! We don’t need you!”
I sat on the floor next to her and let out a sign. “Please, talk to me.”
“Geez, drop the act.”
I thought I might be getting a slight headache earlier, with Jeri. Now I wish I had the slight headache from earlier.
“Will you tell me what’s going on?”
“Will you tell me what’s going on?” she mimicked, her voice sing-song.
Whatever it is, I had had about enough. I pulled the pillow away. “You will talk to me in a manner befitting your age.”
Jess lunged at me for the pillow, grabbing wildly at it as if I were trying to take away her last possession. “Jess, stop.”
I put my arms around her, pulling her into a hug.
“No!” The voice was a shrill scream. If the attempt was to make me let go, it almost worked. “Let! Me! Go!”
She struggled so I hugged her closer, hoping that if I kept her immobile that neither of us would get hurt. In all honesty, she’s probably stronger than I am, but none of her movements are focused. They’re more primal, driven by hurt and fear than by any calculating or planning.

Grreeeaattt, they’re making progress. Love this story :)
I absolutely love these two together. The dialogue is excellent. They still have alot to talk about, but I feel Jess is finally getting it. Please continue with this awesome story.
P where can I even start??
That was fucking brillant, bette was awesome, I’m glad to see she might be starting to undestand jess’s problems, she needs to start talking to jess and explaining what happen, they are so much alike that they will be able to understand each other. At this point I don’t want tina to come home. lol
So any chance of # 4 today??

OMG P my sweet Pseud… It’s about time. I have waited so long for that chapter. Thank you.
Excellent chapter! I’m glad to see they’re moving forward. Please continue.
You are a big teaser with the TBC???? Yes, please continue. Those 2 are FINALLY having an intelligent conversation. Excellent chapter.
Slow and hard faught but progress none-the-less. And what’s with the tbc??? Girl you better post or I’ll hunt you down with my water gun! :)
P i’m awe struck. this was fanfuckingtabulous. this was so right on. doing my happy dance. loved it all. post soon please.
Whew! That was a long time in coming! Jess is just a tad bit on the stubborn side, huh? Wonder where she get’s THAT from?!! HMMMM…. Pseud, you are an extremely gifted writer to have pulled this whole thing off in such a realistic and believable manner. I feel lucky to have access to this story! Thanks!
I wonder how Tina would feel if Bette and Jess became very close ? happy or a little miffed ? love this story and so happy you are back
Thanks for the last 3 chapters. I’ve missed this story greatly.
I was barely breathing while reading this chapter. And the big sigh of relief I let go at the end was heard halfway around the world. Amazing chapter, Pseud! Please post soon. Love your fic.
Awesome.
They finally talk to each other. Thanks for the great chapter. Okay, fine: Thanks for the excellent chapter.
Best chapter yet of a wonderful series.
Fantastic update. Patience Bette that’s all it takes, lots and lots of Patience. By the way soooooooooooooo glad your back, was getting worried.
This is great, they talk a little bit!
Alpha Bette taking the bull by the horns! She approached Jess with both authority and compassion. She didn’t try to put words into Jess’ mouth, but let her figure out and verbalize what she was feeling on her own. Their interaction was so perfectly realistic. Finally, they were both honest with each other. Tina’s going to be surprised when she comes home to find two entirely different woman than when she left.
But I have to ask…are they really okay, or is this just the eye of the storm?
Excellent chapter – in pace, content, dialogue and emotion. So happy for the number of wonderful chapters today!
(tbc?) You bet! Loving this story, please don’t conclude any time soon.
(tbc?) Of course!!!! Nice to see them begin to open up to each other.
At last they are talking – now just keep listening Jess!
Fifteen years is a long time, almost too long. Has Bette really thought about this? Is she disrupting more than she is uniting? Is there anything to unite? And why didn’t Tina ever really go on with her life with another partner? Fifteen years is a long time to be single.
These are questions that remain to be answered. Jess deserves some answers.
Thanks!
Wonderful.
OMG Pseud this is a very sweet chapter. cant wait for TIna to get home to see these two getting along.
Excellent. They have finally started to talk. I dunno tho, Jess is believing her straight away? That’s it – all sweetness and light now? HHmmm I’m not sure LOL
That was really well done pseud. Bette did what she had to and acted the role of the adult, which it sounds like she didn’t do when she left them in the first place. Still a lot of story left, and you’re just the person to lead us through it! This was just an excellent chapter. Thanks for writing so much the last little while – nice to get back into the groove of this story
Superb.
Thank you.
WOW! I hope Jess finally opening her mind to understand that everything Bette say OMG! It’s getting interesting Thanks Please post soon.
Excellent progression of the storyline, please continue.
I should have posted long ago… Great chapter and even a great story.. thank you …please continue
That was a beautiful touching chapter.
