Tina turned to Angelica. "You have something on your cheek."
Bette pulled Angelica back to check, and turned to Tina. "No she doesn’t."
Tina leaned closer, bypassing Angelica to place a blink-and-you-might-miss-it kiss on Bette’s lips. She pulled back with a satisfied grin. "My mistake."
"Risqué," Bette noted.
"Well worth it," Tina replied.
Bette grinned at her. More and more, Tina showed signs of the woman she’d fallen in love with years ago. The mischievous glint, the spontaneity in her manner. Bette was cool and calculated, every step was a means to an end. Tina was not the same, sometimes her impulsive action invited reprimand, but Bette could never deny Tina.
Bette was Tina’s willing victim, and Foxworthy had not been shy to point that out.
Tina ate the blueberry cheesecake with unfiltered glee. "Lara’s gotten this cheesecake down."
"Whoa," Bette said suddenly, not answering Tina’s statement, as Angelica’s hands reached for her own fruit smoothie. "Hey."
Angelica looked up at her innocently, as if to ask that wasn’t the smoothie hers, anyway?
"Fast hands, remember?" Tina reminded.
"It’s the lack of inhibition that worries me," Bette admitted. "She just went for it."
"Takes after her mom," Tina joked.
Bette looked at her, recognizing Tina’s bait, and acknowledged it, but not quite in the same context. "Yeah. She really does."
Tina smiled at her. "So, um, tomorrow –?"
"Angelica and I can drop by your place, and take the Aston from there."
"Yeah, that sounds like a plan," Tina nodded. "Do I pack food, or will we buy?"
Bette shrugged. "I’ll call you later about all that. Right now I just want to sit here, and pretend we’re not an actual couple."
Tina smiled faintly. "Want to hear something funny?"
"Funny ha-ha?"
"Not quite."
"I’m listening."
"Nobody had opinions when we were falling apart and I got myself a boyfriend."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean nobody said anything. Nobody took me aside and asked me questions. Not even you." Tina smiled weakly. "Just Helena."
"What are you saying?"
"I’m saying nobody cared enough to stop the downward spiral." Tina said quietly. "I was falling apart, and you kicked me out of bed, and our friends just watched the two of us fall apart. It gave me this feeling of ambivalence that made me feel like I could do anything, regardless of who I could hurt in the process."

ha damn that blue saab
I seem to recall the sitter having been called a mini-Alice in a prior chapter.
I love this love how you include Angie in this, Alice is going to be hard to convince that Tina is not going to hurt Bette again thanks
I just love this story. Great Chapter
This is wonderful. It makes me happy just reading it. The banter between the two, is fantastic, and then your throw in Angelica, its just what its all about. Wait till Alice finds out she’s been left out of the loop. Looking forward to your next update.
Wait! Do Alice and Helena have their own secret? Sweet chapter.
I’m with everyone else. The story is great and your ability to write dialogoue is stupendous. It’s as though we are sitting on the sidelines watching as they go through their day. Thank you very much for this. Wonderful.
just can’t get enough of you…please post soon
Let’s see, Helena, Lara and now Shane know about the reconcillation efforts of Bette and Tina. Now that leaves Alice and Kit. Both of which seemed to be against Bette and Tina returning as a couple. It only seems appropriate that they are the last ones to know. I believe that you can go ahead a claim them as yours. They have been left a shell of two women on the show. You bring them to life with your story. Got to love Angelica. How she can draw out the love and togetherness of her mommas.
i am so loving this.. please post soon!
There’s no surprise that Shane figured it out. I loved the way Tina sneaked a kiss. I only wish that they had left before Shane and Alice got there…
Ah, Texas is one of my favourite group. “And when you see there’s something you recognise…Love started making sense…I always make mistakes at my expense…Love has placed a seed…And you’re the sun that shines down upon me”. I feel like I’m repeating myself each and every time I read a new chapter from you and leave the same comment. And I’m not the only one. I just love your dialogue. Yes, they still have a lot to talk about and we get to read more of TiBette’s wonderful dialogue.
This is wonderful and happy to see them happy!
Absolutely wonderful again. You write these characters and dialog perfectly.
I’m so enjoying this story – sitting here with a great big grin on my face. Great dialogue.
I have said it before but it doesn’t hurt to say it again, your ability to write dialogue is superb!
Really enjoy these characters.. Your dialog is perfect!!
LOL @ Angelica pulling Bette’s hair! That makes me think of “I’m the baby! Gotta love me!” from Dinosaurs. Also loved the quick nod to the “love you” thing.
I love this story. Thanks for posting so frequently.
absolutely fabulous..best dialog ever…i think i can read it non-stop…you’re rock
Tiff..Fearing of being redundant…your dialogue is superb and your presentation of B & T is sophisticated and delightful. You’re the mack master of this genre.
:-)

Wonderful, beautiful, hit the spot!!! tks!!! Oh, and tks for the added length it’s appreciated
It’s not fast enough, Tina. I’d love to see Alice’s facial expression when she knows and finds out she’s the last one to know. lol
What a treat to have another chapter today. Alice is a good sleuth, but Shane is intuitive. Thanks for the pure pleasure of it.
love your dialogue…!

Loved the interaction between Bette & Tina tiff, brilliantly written dialog.
