It was around eleven when I finally started thinking about leaving. Think about, but really wishing that I didn’t have to.
Tina had been back talking to Jess. I think she does the evening debriefing sessions fairly regularly, making sure they’re staying in touch. I don’t yet feel like it’s my place to intrude into all parts of their relationship, so I remained out here, giving them space.
But that led to my current position, sitting on the couch with Tina’s head in my lap as she reclines. I was just so – normal. I don’t know how else to describe the feeling. After years of being away, years of denying to myself what she and I meant to each other, this was home. I was home.
“Did you invite Jess to dinner.”
“Yeah, but bad news on that front.”
Words like that still bring a small bit of fear. “What news?”
“You’ll have to put up with only my company. She told me that Luis has asked her out.”
I’m sure I had this goofy grin on my face, evidenced by the fact that T gave me a light tap on the leg.
“Don’t be so sure you’re getting lucky, Ms. Porter?”
“Huh?” Not exactly what was making me smile.
“Oh. Tina covered her eyes with her hands. I just thought That look That maybe if you were thinking with just the two of us.”
I grabbed the closer hand in mine and brushed a kiss across the back. I wasn’t thinking anything of the sort.
Not that I wouldn’t have had that thought in the next several seconds. But before I got to that thought, I had another more interesting thought.
“What then?”
And this one I couldn’t help but share. “She’s letting us go out together.”
Tina raised an eyebrow. “You’re right.”
“No fuss. No yelling. Me, you.”
“Should I be worried?”
A part of me wanted to answer ‘perpetually,’ but I didn’t find this the proper thing to say. “Well, I’m guessing you’re letting her off restriction.”
“I think she’s earned a break at this point.”
“You could ask them to come with us.”
“Actually, I did.” Tina was looking a little sheepish. “I hope you don’t mind.”
“Of course not. I like the idea of a family dinner.” Family. That’s the part of the idea I like the most.
“Well, it didn’t fly quite so well with the teen set.”
Why does this not surprise me. “I’m sure.”
“Like, go on a double date with my mom?” Tina mimicked Jess’s tone perfectly. “That’s so not normal.”
I gave Tina’s hand another squeeze. “She’s admitting that it’s a date for us. And she’s still letting us go unencumbered.”
“We’re not out yet.”
Tina was giving me a peculiar look.
“What?”
“You know,” she broke into another grin, “you still might get lucky.”
Sitting here, in my home. With my family. I have, Tina. I most certainly have.

So glad you posted your story was missed.
short but sweet
Thank you thank you for posting a new chapter.
It made me so completely deliriously happy.
I have definitely missed the subtelty of your writing, the emotions beneath all the sweet humor. Even if it’s in small doses.
Great chapter.
OMG! you’re back! so on to Ch 85…..right? Please? pretty please? we’ve all been waiting so patiently… please? don’t make me get on my knees and beg…..*on knees* PLEASE!!!
I appreciate all your lovely writing. I love the different point of views. thanks.
A short page for a transition chapter after all this devout waiting?
Why, oh, why? There´s only one thing harder than this new faith of mine, Jess approval. (We´ll see it, won´t we?)
Oh, no, wait, the hardest thing is Pseud long chapters.
The easiest one? Enjoy them, short or long.
u were definitely missed..post soon ya(“,)
Waiting to read this delightful story whenever you find the time to send it out.
Thanks.
Yay Bette and Tina are reconnecting. However, I still have this impending feeling of doom. But for now I’m happy they’re happy.
However brief, thank you for this chapter. Jess is my favourite incarnation of what Bette and Tina’s kid would end up like. I hope you find the time to write again soon.
i only will be happy when the 85 ch come and end..post soon thanks
Pseud so good to see you. brings a smile to my face when ever i see you post. love your story. good to see B&T so comfortable with each otehr. See you in chat sometime. have a nice day.
How could we forget you or your excellent story? I am missing you every single day, oops, your story, haha.
Jess vs Luis, Jess vs Bette, Luis vs Bette, Tina vs Bette… I cant wait more than one day. I guess it will be in Jess’ POV? haha
Hmmm, that almost seemed too good to be true. Is Jess just playing opossum?
Interesting that Bette’s first thought was not that she would get lucky with Tina, but it was Tina’s thought. Are they on the same page, or is it just that getting Jess to accept what’s going on has more importance for Bette at the moment than anything else?
I do like the way you portrayed them, so comfortable and cozy. Nicely done.
