But I know what I want. I want her. I want us. I want our life back. Isn’t that plain to see? That I want the life that we had and better? That I want to be with her?
At that moment she started to turn around… I panicked. I didn’t want her to leave, I wanted so much to tell her how I felt, how much I’ve missed her, how I want us to be together and how much I’ve changed; all for the better.
Bette: But Tina…
But she left. She walked out of the office and left me with my words hanging… barely audible to my own ears….
Bette: …I know what I want.
——————————————
I looked at the clock on the wall. The time was 2pm. The girls are probably on their way over already. I sighed. I wonder if Tina is coming. I looked at my cell. I guess there’s one way to find out. I dialed her number and held my breath. I don’t know why I just did that but it’s ringing now so there’s no turning back. I wasn’t sure what I’m going to say. With the number of rings, I became very nervous. I have no idea what to say. I played with my ring finger trying to think of what to say. I don’t know why but I didn’t hang up. It was like there was this force that just won’t let me. I hope I’ll get her voicemail.
Tina: Bette?
Ok she picked up. I fell silent. Does that mean she’s not going to New York? I thought Shane said they were going together. FUCK!
Tina: Hello?
Bette: Hi. It’s me.
I’m pretty sure she could tell I sounded disappointed. Keep it together Bette!
Tina: Hey. What’s up?
Hmm that sounds very casual. Maybe this isn’t so bad after all. I relaxed a little.
Bette: Uhmm nothing. I didn’t think I’d catch you, I thought I’d get your voicemail.
Tina: So would you like me to hang up and just let my voicemail pick up?
Bette: Uhm don’t be silly. Of course not. I just uh, I just want to ask if you’re still coming?
Tina: Yes I am. Why?
Bette: Oh umm it’s just that Shane said everyone will be on the same flight and theirs have left two hours ago and… after what happened last week I thought maybe you wouldn’t want to see me.
Tina: Bette, I already gave you my word that I’d come. So I’ll be there. And what happened the other day must not happen again Bette. It was a mistake. We’re doing good you know? We’re trying to be friends now. And friends don’t go around kissing each other like that.
Bette: Yeah I get what you mean. So uh you are coming then.
Tina: Yes I will be there. In fact I’m at the airport now waiting to board.
I smiled as wide as it could go.
Bette: Ok. Tina?
Tina: Yes?
Bette: I just want to say I’m really sorry I did what I did the other day I shouldn’t have done that.
Tina: It’s ok Bette I …
Bette: No wait Tina. I need to explain. I know that I’ve hurt you. I really have and I can never forgive myself for that. I just want us to start over, clean slate. If you..
Tina: Bette, I’m really sorry but they’re calling now. I have to board the plane. I really have to go.
Bette: Oh ok…
Tina: Hey listen. We’ll talk about this when I get there ok? We need to work things out. We need to talk but not right now. I really have to go. I get there at 8. So I’ll see u then. Ok? Bye.
And with that she hung up.
I held on to my cell thinking of all the possibilities. She’s coming! She’s coming! Oh my god, this is it. I have to make it work. Different scenarios played in my mind, and it’s just a matter of me picking the perfect one. And I think I know just how…

YAY! Another chappy so soon. I love it. I am happy that Tina is on her way to see Bette. I hope that they can have a real honest discussion with one another. Put the walls down, let them speak from the heart. I hope Bette can find the forgiveness she seeks. I think that Tina is the type of woman to offer that, and help restore a healthy relationship between them. WOO HOO! Thanks Thumbs.
Thumbs this is good but these cliffhangers are killing me here.Bette needs to make this right and tell Tina about the situation with Mel.PPS.
They both needs to be locked in a room together and not let out until the solve their problem. Time out would be good for the Time out from the whole gang. thanks for posting
Well, thsnk god she is coming. It would be terrific if you could get these two together, privately without the gang, but at a restaurant where they would get a chance to talk. Boy, do they need to really do that!!! I’m off today, so your post was a very nice treat…thanks!!!
I so just caught up with your story. I am really liking it. I just B&T find the time to sit down and really talk to each other. Thanks PPS
yes, thank God Tina is coming to NY…can’t wait for their talk…will they even mention Mel to make all things clear? i hope we won’t get too much drama
Yayyy Tina is coming and can’t wait to see they talk and work thing out. Please post more, thanks!
I think I will die if they have one more misconception about Mel! How can Bette be so clueless! PPS
Oh thank you so much for posting. It’s a lovely chapter, if only too short. Yup, way too short… but I’ll take whatever comes my way. Can’t wait for the next one. No pressure… (I’m kidding, post soon ok!)
