Brief Encounter Chapter 34
I know that photo. It’s the last of Bette’s show that I went to. I remember it like it was yesterday. Bette breaking down in the shower, Bette needing someone to hold on to, me promising to take care of her, me standing by her side, I was there to support my wife. Little did I know, she also had someone else to take care of her, to stand by her side and to support her? Where did I stand? Going home and I still remember the gruesome sex we had afterward. It vividly stuck in my head.
So when I saw the photo of Bette in the arms of another woman, I choked. I didn’t know what to say. It wasn’t because it was the first time I saw the photo, but it was because the photo brought back painful memories of us back then. How our happiness was a façade that we let everyone see. No, scratch that. It wasn’t just for everyone to see but for us both to see. We were both in denial. Thinking we live a perfect life, and thinking that we are the perfect couple, when everything is far from perfect. We were living a lie all the while.
Well. Not al of the seven years we spent together was a lie. The love that we had for each other was real, no doubt. I know Bette loved me as did I, her. We shared so much in those seven years; our love, our life, our interests, our pleasures and even our dreams. People can say a lot of things, but they will never know the real us. And that was what I learn when I saw the article that Shane and Alice was reading when I just had my shower.
The article that was written had an account of who Bette had been with all this years. She is written as the most eligible bachelorette for bachelorettes. And it even has a list of people Bette’s dated the last few years from before she moved to New York to her New York days. To name a few, the list includes Tina Kennard described as her long term break from the real Bette; Candace Jewell as her part-time handy girlfriend, Theresa Emerson her on again and off again girlfriend, Melanie Shaw as the temptress and a Derek Lewis whom the article wrote as her clueless too straight boyfriend.

Let Bette come clean with Tina. Let her tell her that she is not with Mel That all she wants is Tina and know one else. Bette is beautiful but this season I think Tina is head and shoulder more beautiful. Bette better try to get that woman . She could be Tinas trophy girlfriend. thanks for posting.
Yep Thumbs I’m still here.I agree with betty, have Bette come clean with Tina. Also let Tina listen without protest.
Hey look up there, ECS is topping me! LOL. I do agree with her, that Tina NEEDS to listen. She can’t put up walls, and shut down the conversation. Bette also needs to address this and not run from it. She isn’t with Mel period. Come on now woman, POST MORE!!! LMAOOO (you are doing a swell job posting regularly ;-) )
If only Tina could believe it will be worth it. She’s going to see the love of her life. PPS
Ahhhhhh all this talking is driving me crazy – we need more action Thumbs ;O))) but glad Tina is on a plain to see Bette. Looking forward to your next post. Do post soon
Very good chapter!!!! Nut, please bring ont hte talk they need to have and have Bette tell Tina she is not with Mel anymore. Thanks PPS
all they need to do is TALK and not run away at the first moment of pain or confusion…give it to us, we’ve waited long enough ;)
Ahh let them talk and work thing out, love them and love this story. Please post more, thanks! Oh P S its there any chance “hope” that you can post the another story ” Home ” of your cause thats a beautiful story and love it and hope to read more of that story. Anyway thank you!
Oh Tina, any moment with Bette IS worth it! Thanks Thumbs. Long, short, I’ll still read.. but of course, the longer and more frequent, the better. Great post!
Well, I think this is the best thing these two can do, I hope Bette has the sense to pick her up at the airport, then wisk her off to a private, (romantic would be nice) dinner, just the two of them. Bette needs to be honest and upfront about herself and Mel and Tina needs to really listen…PPS
