And she needed to get it out of her system. Tina had screwed up, not her. She’d earned the right to it.
But it had lost its earlier luster. On dates she would find herself looking around the restaurant, only to realize she was hoping to see Tina, even if she would be on her own date. She found herself randomly thinking of Angelica and Tina, across town, probably sitting at home and watching Tina’s favorite movies.
She wondered if Tina did voices for the Winnie the Pooh characters to Angelica.
Angelica, whom she did not claim tonight, since her meeting had ended late. Instead she and Tina would meet early tomorrow morning.
It was daunting, the idea that after so disastrous a deterioration, she still considered Tina her soulmate.
Then again, she never really believed in it until she met Tina.
It always seemed ridiculous to her, two people forming one complete soul, considering there were 6 billion people in the world.
But Tina made her want to believe it. Tina made her want to believe that there was one person in the world who would be home to her.
Even in the three years their sex life had been lackluster, she had taken comfort in Tina.
Maybe that was where it went wrong. It stopped being love, or passion, or other pretty words to describe your soulmate. She and Tina had become comfortable. Compliant in each other’s presence. The love was there, sure.
Bette stood by the kitchen, looking out at the pool.
Bette watched silent images of the past, the many, many, many times she made love to Tina in that pool, how Tina had loved to be made love to in the water. How Tina allowed her access to places others before didn’t know existed.
Now all their contact was limited to The Planet, how the smallest sign of affection was sometimes not allowed.
Did someone get to make love to Tina in the pool in her house?
Bette lowered her gaze, longing to hold Angelica, for some brief respite from the loneliness she felt.
To hold Tina, and remember the ways only Tina’s touch could help ease the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Bette sighed.
Last night, Tina holding her cheek in her hand, easing the pain in a way only she could. For such a small moment of time, they had gone back to a time when that small a touch meant the world.
She was tired. Of guessing. Of not knowing.
Of waiting.
She didn’t even know what Tina’s house looked like, in what conditions was Angelica living in.
She placed the glass of water she’d been drinking from in the sink, and took a deep breath.
She wondered what everyone she knew was doing.
Probably not at home, sulking over the past.
It was, after all, a Friday night.
And The Planet was on its second anniversary under Kit’s ownership.
Whatever.
She had to get out of here.

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.
