    Author Notes:

    Bette tries to recover from her birthday blunder. How will Tina respond?


    “We’ve been planning it for quite a while, I wouldn’t want to disappoint Tina,” her words tumbled out of her mouth.


    “No, of course, you must go. You will come to the beach another time, all right?”


    “Yes, we’d love to.”


    “Wonderful. Where are you going?”


    “Where? Oh, uh, Tina is surprising me.”


    “She is surprising you on her birthday?”


    “Yes,” Bette said shyly, suddenly wishing she had invented a destination, a fabulous one.


    “Ah, lovers games,” Arlette laughed. “Enjoy yourself Bette, but let’s talk again soon, alright?”


    “Yes, absolutely. Thank you, Arlette.”


    They said their goodbyes and hung up the phone. Bette sat back in her chair forcefully, closed her eyes and said, “Fuck.”


     


    ****


    On Wednesday Tina thought about Bette all through her morning meetings, and now, sitting at her desk she looked at her photo as four calls went to voice mail. She was thinking of the warmth in their bed this morning and the spot on her shoulder that was touching Bette’s bare skin when she awoke. She had lain still, awake but with her eyes closed and listened to Bette’s rhythmic breaths and felt the softness there at her shoulder. It was all she could do not to roll over and fold herself around Bette’s body in her familiar place. But the last vestiges of hurt lingered in her and made her move away and get up, shower, dress and slip out leaving just a note behind about a breakfast meeting.


    In truth she had driven around for an hour with loud music flooding the car and weak coffee gradually filling her stomach. There was power in her withholding. It made Bette react – sometimes in angry words, or a cutting comment and sometimes in apology, in gifts and in soft, sweet words that melted the air between them. Often it was all of these things in one day.


     

    She glanced at the numbers listed on the phone. One of them belonged to Bette. She had sent flowers yesterday to Tina’s office. Incredible flowers. Exotics. A fucking fortune, Tina thought, and then stopped, remembering how expressing her practical nature had contributed to the misunderstanding between them. She reached in her pocket to feel the card that had come with the flowers. She didn’t need to see it to know what it said, but she took it out again to see the handwriting.

    3. Gee, I know how it seems time stands still when you’re wrestling with a problem and it just drags on and on. I’m sure it must have felt like months had gone by for Bette. Say, about 3 of them? Good to see you back, Massmom. Don’t be such a stranger.

    7. Thank you for continuing this story. Forgiveness is important to a couple along with communication. Too bad the show could not show this in season 3.

    9. Yay Massmom. Boy you have no idea how much I’ve missed this fic!! So glad you gave us an update to this beautiful fic.I’ve been waiting with baited breath. I would’ve held it forever if I had to.And such a wonderful update to add. I’m so happy that Bette didn’t cancel out on Tina yet again,finally choosing the love of her life over work obligations. I loved the way Tina initiated this little gataway.I hope this isn’t the end of this fic,but should it be,then i must thank you. Excellent fic.

    12. Hey glad to see you back…you were missed. I was starting to get mad at Bette when it looked like she was gonna cancel on Tina again. I am glad they reconnected. I am glad you reconnected with your fans…keep posting.

    20. I’ve really been looking forward to a second post to a very intersting beginning, but had given up!!! Great post and Bette definitely did the right thing about the invitation to the beach house, but I’m sure it will come up over the weekend. Especially if they’re staying close to that house LOL. Post soon please, this is very good :o))

    24. I’m so happy you’ve written a chapter! Loved this sentence: “It was all deliciously familiar and yet heightened by the distance they’d traveled to this place.” Beautiful.
