Can’t Help Falling In Love Chapter 41
Before she could even take a final sip of her wine Bette was back.
Bette: Do you know what today is?
Tina: Um, Wednesday.
Bette: well, I forgot about that. I have another show T. Im sorry I have to go.
Tina: No its fine.
Bette: Will you walk me back to the theatre.
Tina: Sure, of course.
The walked out of the restaurant unnoticed because a much bigger celebrity had entered, much to Bettes delight. She didnt have time for anymore small talk tonight.
Bette: Im being interviewed next week.
Tina: Oh yeah, for what?
Bette: Theatre Talk.
Tina didnt even need to ask, Bette could read the look of confusion on her face.
Bette: Its nothing big really. Just a bunch of theatre critics grilling some poor actor. Its on PBS at 12:30 am Saturday morning. Not the greatest time slot.
Tina laughed.
Tina: To say the least.
Bette: But Im excited. I think just the fact that I was asked on is a huge compliment. And I was thinking maybe you could come with me?
Tinas anger and frustration faded away with those 3 words, come with me.
Tina: Oh, wow. I would love too. That would be great. Are you sure?
Bette: Of course Im sure. I love you and I want you there.
Tina: Oh *****.
Bette: What?
Tina: What I was trying to tell you before is that I have to leave town for a little while.
Bette: WHAT? WHEN? WHY?
Tina bowed her head.
Tina: Work. They are opening another office in Chicago and they asked Alex and I to come and help with the set up, hiring and all that stuff.
Bette: How long will you be gone?
Bette eyes were beginning to well up.
Tina: 2 weeks.
Bette: Weve only known each other for 3. So thats almost half of our relationship.
Tina: I know, Im sorry.
Bette: Dont be sorry, just dont go.
Tina: I have to. This is MY career.
Bette: No, your career is as a writer, not some personal assistant.
Tina flooded with anger at that moment but did her best to suppress it. She knew that Bette was just very emotional.
Tina: Bette, please dont do this. I have to go, dont make it harder than it needs to be.
Bette: Do you understand that I just came out because of you. And even though I was scared I knew you would be by my side so it would be ok. Now youre just gonna leave me?
Tina: Im sorry Bette. I dont know what more to say. I have to. Its only 2 weeks. Ill call all the time; youll hardly know Im gone.
Bette didnt say another word. She placed a small kiss on Tinas cheek and headed into the stage door.
TBC…

This is gonna be good…please post REALLY soon
Time for Tina to make a decision? She’s a writer. A nascent writer, who needs time off. They’ve only been together three weeks? It feels like a few months. This is a crucial time. Pressure, pressure!
Maybe Bette can swap places with the female lead on the bus and truck tour, doing the show in Chicago for the next two weeks?
Hey, Bette forgot her evening performance…it must be love, right?
oh I have this feeling there’s drama coming our way! but don’t leave us hanging to long, you know we need your story!
WHOA! I’m just love it to read this Story it’s really Great it’s interesting Bette it’s only 2 weeks you gonna be okay Bette LOL! I can’t wait the next chapter Please post soon .
“I have to go away for awhile. It’s just for 2 weeks. If you cheat on me in that time I will come back here and cause you physical harm, and not the good kind.â€
“Bette while I am away on business I would greatly appreciate it if you didn’t leave the apartment, with the exception of going to the theatre.â€
Sorry I’m still on my ass from laughing so hard. Leave it to Tina to say something like that.
Bette needs to have a tracking device on her so tina can know where she is at all times. LMAO
I love the drama it’s getting good
great chapter Flair. Bette and Tina are very complex. Cant wait for the next post
Drama, drama, drama. . .hah, please post again soon!

Wonderful two chapters. Still love this so much. I hope Bette understands. Please tell me there is NO cheating in this story. :) Can’t wait for more.
Ouch….the good ol rock and a hard place…very intriguing…love ur style and story
Haha, two needy women…with one being alot more insecure than the other – what a combination :D I didn’t quite expect Bette’s reaction to Tina’s going away to be so strong. Bette just needs a ‘sweet distraction’ and she’ll be ok…LMAO.
YIPES!! Here we go again…
Don’t stop now! More soon, please!!!

Ouch ! But yes, Katie was this Bette’s flirtatious winking neighbour ! My goodness, I’m feeling quite silly now, o la la… Anyway, I have an excuse : with all these so intoxicating up and downs of your artful rollercoaster, how could we, poor addicted readers, remember every details ? Typical reader’s pleasure’s dizziness, that’s it…
Oh, I understand so well Bette’s deeply frustrating feeling here : she was obviously so proud to bring her lover to this TV interview… And yes, so soon after her hard coming-out, a two weeks separation is a pretty difficult thing to accept…
Many clouds on the horizon, more than ever !
So gifted and well-called Flairforthedramatic, you neer stop to be amazing. THANKS A LOT !!
yeah… bumpy drama… Tina has to learn to share Bette and Bette… well, can’t blame her for needing Tina. Glad to see you update so often
Flair all I have to say..women!! so needy..lol Keep it up!
i’m hanging on by my finger nails. you can take this so many ways but it best be with b/t flf. i know i didnt ask for any drama. excellent as usual. thanks. post soon.
Tina better get used to Bette and being dramatic…she’s from the stage……No slight meant!! Oh this is going to be interesting!!! tks
