Bette stood by the kitchen counter, staring out at the pool, thinking of the two women who ruled her life. Two women who lived across town. Two women she saw on weekends, one of whom she would promise the world to, the other she’d broken plenty of promises to.
Three months of trial separation. Four months of not knowing. Too many months of suspended limbo. Months of feeling Tina slipping away from her, and unable to stop it.
Strange, now that Angelica was talking, so were herself and Tina. As if their ability to communicate was dependent on Angelica’s own abilities.
It was easier, now. As compared to all the hardship of the past few… months? Years?
It had been surprisingly easy to talk to a lawyer, to get the separation papers ready, terms and conditions stated. It had been much more difficult to watch Tina sign it.
Herself?
Had bargained out of it, and had talked Tina into agreeing to a trial separation before doing anything that would officially end their relationship.
Filing had been easy, because she couldn’t remember any of it. At the time she’d been so painfully numb, an oxymoron that was nonetheless true.
She and Tina had sat down, talked it over, discussed their relationship, how badly their relationship had deteriorated in such short a time. A surprise, but had a feeling of inevitability in it.
But, even then, both women had been filled with longing for each other. A frustration that they couldn’t seem to work through their problems as a couple.
Bette had insisted on couples therapy, as long as they stayed together.
And Tina… Bette had seen her T’s eyes, the temptation to let Bette be right, that it was the right thing to do. It could’ve been so easy, except Tina hadn’t wanted to take the easy way out of their rut.
I slept with him, Bette.
The confusion in her own voice: What?
Tina, more decisive: I fucked him. Pretty much in the same way you fucked the carpenter, except I did it here.
Here. Defeated.
The bedroom.

Tiff…They are soulmates.They can get laid a thousand times by strangers but they will always love each other and will reunite.
Sigh… Why are things always so complicated. Why can’t love make things simpler? The complication is driving me crazy.
Soulmates indeed. I wonder what it is about each other though that first made the sparks fly. We’ve seen some happy moments between them, but a good deal of moments we’ve seen were down right painful, especially this past season. Bleh I forgot where I was going with this so I’ll just stop. lol Please continue!
Now that hurt. Painful not to be able to turn to the one you’ve always had beside you, the one you told your secrets to. The question is, have they hurt each other too much to ever get it back? Only you can answer that one, Duke.
Sad,that the love they have can’t make them happy and together. thanks
so near yet so far. hate that feelin.
Fantastic chapter tiff_duke. Can Angelica talk or gurggle some sense into Tina? Hopefully Tina will agree to sit with Bette and talk in a private place. What’s the worst that can happen? They cross the line intimately. ‘Cause if that’s the worst, where do I sign up?
This is sad and hope they will their way back to each other soon. Ok let see whats next, thanks!
Tiff….a beautifully crafted story. Keep it up! You and the other gifted writers on this site are a treasure.
i think bette should go to tina and spend evening together, talk, laugh, flirt…start getting back together
Tina crossed the line earlier. Bette, it’s time for you to cross the line now. Drive over to Tina’s house to see the two most important women in your life!!!
PLEASE have her wander over the Tina’s house. You have this amazing ability to make become emotionally invested with these two fictional characters. Thanks Tiff
i wish she’s going to tina’s place …i’m too romantic …
Just caught up. Don’t know how you do it but I’m so glad you write and share your always carefully crafted stories with us. Thank you.
Tiff, thanks for writing. I love how easy your characters flow. Can’t wait for more.
wanted to leave a comment after the last chapter – but it wasn’t working. – but you know I love each & every chapter. I can so see Bette gazing out the kitchen doors to the pool replaying all this stuff & longing in her head. Is she going to start driving past Tinas house now just to see? Cheers Tiff!
Where is Bette off to?
bette should go see tinas house dontcha think?
Damn Bette, pick up the fucking phone and call Tina (sorry, just a little stressed). Even if all you do is listen to her breath. Even Tina needs to hear Bette breath. These two need to breath in the same room so that their souls can once again join together the way that it is suppose to be like. My poor heart aches with all of this pain that these two keep heaping onto one another.
