I clicked off the phone. I’d heard enough, now.
As expected,
Alice, one of the few constants in Tina’s life told her that we were talking on the phone. I tell her we hadn’t.
Of course Tina’s going to believe
The phone buzzes again. I throw it, hearing the satisfying sound as it shatters upon impact with the street.
Now what do I do? Whatever Tina might be thinking – another woman or who knows what – I can’t dispel that notion without revealing the truth.
If I reveal the truth, that could crush another relationship.
Perhaps she’ll give me one more try. Perhaps she’s ready to listen. I head back into the house, and search the junk drawer for a tool that’ll work to unlock the door.
Do I have a chance, or is it already too late?
It takes me a few moments to open the door. Tina’s seated, her hands gripping the arms of the chair.
“T, I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
She gives me a look that actually gives me a fairly clear indication that whatever she’s thinking is of me, and it’s not positive.
“Whatever it is, I can explain. We can work through this.”
“You lied to me.”
“T. Please. I didn’t know you heard any of that call.” Dammit! Why didn’t she tell me that she heard me? “T, baby, ask me anything.”
“I don’t want to talk about this.”
I took a half-step closer. I could see her hands grip tighter. Rather than make her any more uncomfortable, I went back towards the wall, leaning against it, giving her more room. “There is no ‘this’ to talk about.”
“You were making plans to get rid of someone. Why is that?”
“I made a promise. Please, believe me, it’s not what you think.”
“You don’t know what I’m thinking.”
That much is so true. But please, tell me. “It – the call – it was Jess.”
“How stupid do you think I am, Bette? Jess was home.”
“Yes, Jess was home, and – well, she’s going to hate me for telling you but -”
“Hate you? I suppose you’re getting rid of me, now. Are you two now ganging up against me?”
T, please, relax. “This is going to make Jess mad at me, but I told her I’d help her with something something she didn’t want to talk to you about.”
Tina’s eyes narrowed. I immediately regretted having phrased it that way. “My daughter can talk to me about anything.”
“But if she couldn’t, wouldn’t you want her to find a friendly ear?”
“If she couldn’t, but she always can talk to me.” She spit out the last three words, punctuating them with taps on the chair. “There is nothing that she cannot talk to me about.”
I looked down at the floor, and steeled myself, ready to break my daughter’s ultimate confidence. “*****.” I said it quietly. So quiet, I wasn’t sure that Tina had heard me. But when I looked up at her face, I knew she’d heard me perfectly well.
“Wha — ?”
“Please, T”
“You’re telling my daughter to have *****?”
“I’m not telling her anything -”
“You’re damn right you’re not!”
“T? Please? We need to talk about this. Can you just listen?”
At this moment she was up, out of the chair. She didn’t look like she was ready to listen.

Brillant! I hate you! But, Brillant!
PseudI have just caught up the last few chapters and must say what a ride they have been.Tina just beginning to trust Bette and then feeling betrayed by a half heard conversation.Alice has by sticking her nose in and trying to placate Tina, cause untold damage.Jess finally accepting that Bette is part of her life and may be useful as an ear to listen to her and receive advice from.Much gratitude and appreciation for sharing your gift with me.Your Loyal Fan.
Hey Thanks for the update Whoa! Tina why are you really MAD! I think they need to communicate to each other Bette and Tina Please continue post soon!!!
Wham! Loved it, did not see that coming at all but I must say I am happy it was not something realy bad. Tina is very jealous of her daughter and Bette having a relationship, she needs to work on that. Thanks so much pseud. Post real soon.
Another fantastic chapter, I am confident that this will make them stronger. Please give Tina a break guys I can see how she would be like this.
Bette, and Jess, and Tina…Oh My!!!
someone really needs a couple or 3 margaritas. jesus tina lighten the hell up. im always grateful that if my kid coulnt talk to me that someone was there for them. being a single mom you cant do it all no matter what you think. and tina knows this cuz jess has quite a few aunties. shes trying “supposedly” to get back with bette jess’ other mom and then she freaks the hell out. pmsing all over the place. thanks baby
ook… i can see im nt the only one totally lost… bt im thinkin tht tina overreacted jst a little bit too much for what actually happened… and bits of ch.85 stil dnt make sense to me (bt thts probly jst me :P) lol post 86 ASAP!!!
Nice twist…that was certainly unexpected. Still, Tina’s going a bit overboard. But, yay! for Bette being honest…just hope Jess can understand. Okay, Pseud, time to post chappy 86…come on, Pseud…come ooooonnnn! Pseuuoooooooooooooooood! :)
Tina had Jessie for 16 years, She wanted Bette to be part of her life, but not jessie. Bette has been beat up enough. Tina need to give her some peace. Bette is going to NY> Tina might not see her when she comes back. That is a mad Mother. thanks
Totally didn’t see this coming. What does Tina want? Does she know what she wants exactly? It’s understandable that she’s afraid to let go and she’s afraid that Bette is betraying her again (or she thinks Bette is). It seems that Bette just can’t get the best of both worlds (i.e. gaining Tina’s trust and building a relationship with Jess), or the best of anything, for that matter. I really feel for her too. And now, having Tina throw her out of the house, she’s a broken woman again. Hopefully, Jess will come to her defence…eventually. Please post again soon. Thanks.
OK. We made it to the part we’ve been dreading. Now you need to get us through it. Love this story. Keep it coming.
now pseud you know I love you but if you have Jess deliberating setting Bette up to get her out of the way I will scream – or maybe I’ll just donate to the site as you suggest – you decide.
Jess> Bette’s biggest weakness and Tina’s biggest strength; their biggest fears and best success. How is Bette going to get out of this one. And this one is really not her fault! Thanks for posting another….any more for tonight?
Thanks so much for posting again soon and keeping us on our toes, very interesting development…
im totally lsot too…is Tina jealous about Bette and jess relationship??? is Tina thinking that Bette can eventually be her partner but net Jess´s mom?..Jess is only her daugther?..Jess will be so pissed..when she find out what Tina did..or she will be piss with Bette for telling Tina the thuth..what a mess..i really feel bad for Bette she dosent deserve this..she deserve better..after all this years Tina still can forgive her..or trust her..
Pseud, this has been quite the build up and nothing I expected. Kudos for keeping us on our toes. I sure hope Tina will eventually calm down and listen to Bette.
I’m lost. Firstly, why was Tina over- reacting to hearing Bette’s phone call? They haven’t been together for a while, she must realise that there are things going on it’s Bette’s life that she will not be privy to as yet. And now that she does know what the call was about, why is she so against Bette talking to Jess? I thought she wanted her to open up and give her other mom a chance? I guess Tina only wants that provided it doesn’t seemingly jeopardise her own bond with her daughter. I don’t know, Tina is sending some really mixed signals. She needs to figure out what she really wants b/c Bette can’t keep paying for past mistakes. So now I understand you making Bette pack and sending her on her way…maybe then Tina will realise how unfair she’s being to not only Bette but Jess as well.
your killing me here… post the rest of this chapter…
Looks like Jess is gonna have to come to the rescue on this one. I was expecting something a little bit more devastating too but I’m glad that it was this, because this is most definitely fixable if the two of them will just talk! These two have far too many issues to resolve to not talk. Okay, now that we’ve reached the dreaded chapter 85, what happened to chapter 80??? Guessing this is where the whole Bette and Jess talked happen. Do we get to see it anytime soon? PLEASE!
Pseud, you can’t leave us hanging like this!! Post your next chapter soon please :-)!!
OH CRAP! Mad Mom!
OK, I am totally confused also. I went back and read 85 to see if I missed something and it only made my confusion worse. If all Bette did was give advice to Jess about sex then Tina is WAY over-reacting. If she was distracting her so tht Jess could do it in her house then Tina has a right to be mad but that chapter 85 is HARSH. What’s up?
Great story. Can’t wait for the next post.
Oy, poor Bette, she is in a no win situation; somebody give her a break. Nicely done Pseud, I didn’t see this one coming.
Always look forward to your next chapter. And yes, these gals are something of overreactors.
Tina need to sit back down and listen to Bette..lol…great post !
OH my… now chapter 85 makes sense…but it doesn’t mean we have to like it though… hopefully 86 will be posted soon and well get us through this and answers will be given…Post again SOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
AHHHH! post soon! you are killing me!!!
Poor Bette, she has to sacrifice one party’s trust to gain the other’s. But I’m glad to see Jess’s willing to open up to Bette at some point. Parents take different roles in their children’ livies. I hope Tina can realise it soon.
wow, what a turn…do we have to read ch. 85 or you are going to repost it? well, i guess it doesn’t matter…but now i totally see that tina is mad irrationally, i hope they’ll talk
you little s**t, how can you do that to us!!!!! Hurry up with the next one will ya.
Oh fuck, this is bad!
