Excuse me? “You were?”
“Yeah. I, you know, I want to talk with her about this. We’ve talked about other stuff when it was more in theory. I just wasn’t sure how to bring up the now stuff to her.”
The now stuff. As in Luis, and her feelings towards him. Would have been a little easier if I’d known she wanted me to get involved in direct discussions.
“You know, I’m still willing to help you with that.”
“You are?”
“Yeah, Jess.” I can honestly say that I’m really feeling moved by her willingness, her openness at this point. “I said that I’d be here for you, and I meant that.”
“I didn’t think you were coming back.”
Now the truth emerges. “Why wouldn’t I?”
To this she just shrugged.
“Jess, please understand, what passes between your mother and me about our past, our present, is between Tina and me.”
“But, I just want to make sure she’s happy.”
Poor kid. She seems quite confused. And who wouldn’t be? “I know that, Jess. But wishing people would be happy doesn’t make it so.”
“Yeah.” She crossed her arms and leaned back. “I still think it’d have been easier for her if you’d stuck around.”
This was, in essence, saying something I’m not sure I expected to hear. “You really want to see me with your mother?”
“I really want to see my mom happy. And she was. And if it takes you for that, then I suppose it, maybe, won’t be too bad.”
Oddly enough, I think I’d just received a compliment. I couldn’t help but smile at that.
A smile which Jess, in spite of her attempts to keep her mad face on, was joining me. “What?” She asked, her tone accusing. But the smile remained.
I just shrugged. It felt like a weight had been lifted, though.
“Now, are you going to tell me about school?”
I couldn’t believe how long we talked. And we talked about so many thing. How her classes went, her sports interests. Luis, although we successfully skirted anything too involved on that point.
This afternoon, I felt like I’d finally met the girl that Shane and Alice had talked to me about. A far different experience than much of my time here. She even let me turn on a few lights so I didn’t feel like I was trapped for an inquiry.
The afternoon passed quickly. I didn’t realize that it had gone into evening, until Jess received a phone call. She went into another room to take the call, but when she returned I could tell she was agitated.
“What’s up?”
“Umstuff.”
“Jess?”
“Just, um”
Yeah, just stuff. “Was that Tina?” I can tell she’s hesitant about this answer.
“Yeah.”
“Did you tell her where you’d be?”
“Uh”
Great. Jess, I love you, but sometimes, you’re really not helping.
“C’mon Jess.” I stood, and opened the front door for her.
“Huh?”
“We’re going home.”

I am glad Bette put pride aside and acted the adult. I mean in terms of coming back. Although it sounds like she is saying that there never was any doubt in her mind that she would be back, is that really true? I got the sense that she was indeed having doubts – not about wanting to be back but about about T’s desire to have her around. I may just have imagined that. You would be surprised at how much I think about your characters and their stuations even when I am away from your story.
If Bette did have doubts (and I’m not saying she didn’t)…she’s not going to discuss them with Jess. Let’s just put it that way.
Great update. I love your story. Looking forward to more.
i agree..i have no doubt about Bettes feeling but i think she have a lot of boubts about waht Tina want and if Tina really can trust her and without trust they have no respect and without respect.. love is very dificult to feel cant wait to see how Tina is going to react i hope she didnt freak and again ends blaming Bette amaznig pseud as always :o)
I was so glad when I checked that you had posted. OMG, these people can definitly create more drama than is neccessary. So Bette and Jess are going over to the house, hmmmmmmmmmm could be interesting. I think Tina and Bette need to talk, you know in case Bette does have doubts about where she stands with Tina, maybe they can just get on with getting back together. As always looking forward to your next update.
Could Jess Running away again (so too speak get our two girls talking again
this story just fascinates me !!
Amen and alleluia – bette is not cowed by either Jess or Tina – and let’s hope she has the guts to tell that to Tina. This story is among the greats and you are awesome in your delivery of character and dialogue.
Well, it’s all been said. You have caught all the three main protagonists so perfectly they are flesh and blood. I look forward to every update.
Yes Bette GO HOME! Let’s just hope Tina doesn’t freak when she sees Bette and Jess together. So glad those two are finally building a relationship, they can all seem to manage a relationship with one other person at some point, now let’s see if we can get all three together. Come on Tina just let your kid and the love of your life talk to you before you freak out! More please, you know I love this story =)
I think Tina’s going to freak out. She’s going to be even more insecure that Jess will want to go with Bette because she likes her better. Hopefully they will all sit and talk everything out.
I think Jess is going to play a big part in getting Tina and Bette to gether…I think Jess will open up her mothers eyes and come to Bette’s defence…thanks so much for posting,can wait for the next.
as always P your story brings a much needed smile to my face.
i hope tina won’t overreact after seeing bette and jess, i think she should be happy that jess is finally accepting bette, all 3 of them need to talk for sure…please get our girls back together
Adding a late comment here…your thoughts. Should B&T come together, or has it been too long?
Good for Bette; I’m glad she’s continuing to act appropriately. And, of course, they should get back together…who doesn’t want that?! :)
I’ve read this twice and I am fascinated (as always) by your writing. I can’t imagine that bette and Tina wouldn’t try it again now that Jesse has come around. Many chapters back I wrote that I thought I knew where you were going with this. I had always thought and hoped that Jesse would be the one to bring these 2 women who clearly love each other together. They are just afraid of the past repeating itself, but sometimes people really do learn from their mistakes. Please continue!
yes, I think they have come to a place now, that they can be together, just need to talk more to each other
“do you think B&T should end up together at the end of this story?” Is that even a rational question? I’ve been reading your story from the beginning, expecting them to end up together, that no matter what, it’s destiny, they will always be together. And now even you are doubting? What is left to us then? You’re doing great, please keep posting.
As always I’m really enjoying your story and can’t wait for more.”do you think B&T should end up together at the end of this story?” Hell Yes!
pseud, like the post and this story so much… yes Tina & Bette should wind up together, but someone has to knock some sense into Tina’s head (maybe Alice and Shane need to stage an intervention). When Tina starts freaking I hope Jess sticks up for Bette.
Bette and Tina together sure, but Tina owes her a big apology. Tina doesn’t seem to care about Bette or her feelings and trust really isn’t there either. Let Tina grow up so she can be Bette’s equal in your story too.
The destiny of these two characters was set early on when Tina walked out on Bette, leaving her out by the pool while she had brunch with Alice and Jess. The fact that she cared enough to bring her back a fatitta, was it?, just after Bette was such as ass and blamed their failed relationship on Tina, sealed their fate. Obviously I feel these characters should be together. Anyway, back to this chapter, I love how Bette was able to start to build a relationship with Jess. Here’s hoping that Tina will be more mad at Jess than at Bette and that Jess will stand up and tell her mother the truth, that Bette made her promise to tell Tina about Luis AND where she was going to be…please post soon…I’m obsessed with this story!!!
Should they come together. How can you even ask us that question. OMG, we’ve come so far with them, that as much as I love this story, it drains me. They have issue, and their will still be some problems to solve, but B&T have always and will always belong together.
TOGETHER–i think tina is waitng to see if jesse really can accept her in her life; i feel tina wants bette in her life just wants to be sure bette really means to stay
Silly question…of course Bette and Tina should be together…even Jess says so. She would put up with Bette because even she realizes Bette makes Tina happy. Now, only Bette and Tina needs to realize that.Great story. Always look for your posts. Thanks. And remember, more bons bons if Bette and Tina stay together.
for an intellient woman you are so silly. of course they should be together. as always beautifully written. someone needs to wake tina up. shes a bit neurotic. keep it coming. thanks.
I have enjoyed this story from the beginning and b+t need to end up together after all this!!!
(tears in eyes) I know you wouldn’t be so cruel to let us have a miserable weekend without your update.Now it’s Tee’s turn to put her pride aside to admit her feelings in front of Bette.
Wow Bette is good and love the way Bette act. Ok now let see what’s happen when they got home and can’t wait to see Tina react. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Yeah….another update, loved it and this story. B&T should be together life peas and carrots, peanut butter and jelly, and like sunshine and photosynthsis.
ok if b&t rnt gna b 2getha at the end of this story, i stop reading right here. well, maybe after the next one. but im sure many others feel the same way. :P lol gr8 post pseud.
Still reading and enjoying. A rational mind would say these two can´t end up together after all this time. But these characters always seem too inmature to grow up and move on. Maybe that´s why I like them.
“C’mon Jess.” I stood, and opened the front door for her. “We’re going home.”… Ah, (to quote S2Tina ;-) nice! And how can we not feel empathy for Tina in all this? We know that she’s a character that dislikes confrontations, and all this Bette & Jess ‘family life’ drama has taken her out of her comfort zone. That’s never an easy thing for anyone – I’d love to see our Tina find her confidence again so they can truly be a partnership.
hey psued! Thanks for the really great chapter. Please let them end up together. please. they deserve to be happy and like Jess said , tina’s happy with bette. they were meant for each other, they just need to open up the lines of communication. keep writing. I’ll be reading.
I still really love this story! Should B&T end up together? Absolutely but as you’ve so realistically portrayed in every chapter, it’s a complicated process. Nice to see they’re all getting there. Thanks again for sharing your story.
pseud..I am with my girl, albeez on this one. yes..they need to be together in the end. Of course, you can drag it out for a very long time and we won’t mind. albeez….more shots..please.
