Bette sighed, not really knowing what to say to that. Eventually, she came up with a question.
“How do you make friends? How did you do it?”
“I’m not you, everyone has his own way of making friends. But Louise seems to be very outgoing. Why don’t you just ask if you can go with her sometime? You’ll have a gazillion friends in no time, and you can pick out the ‘real’ ones yourself.”
“That does sound like a good idea,” Bette admitted reluctantly. “I promise I’ll start with that first thing next week.”

“We really miss you, Tina. You even made Tim cry!”
“Helena, we both know that’s not true,” the blonde on the other side of the line laughed.
It felt really good to hear from her best friend again. She had missed her more than she cared to admit, especially when she was at school. Her new colleagues were great, the students were like every other student in the country, she had her own place that she shared with the love of her life half of the time.
She did feel bad, though. She had nagged that Bette should make friends, but she didn’t have any herself. She always preferred not to see her colleagues out of school too much because that could just cause such dramas. It was better for her to keep her work and her private life in two different worlds… she had only made two exceptions so far. Helena had helped her out a lot when she first started as a teacher and after quite some time, Tina had allowed the British brunette in her private life as well. She had been amazing when Tina had a rough time with a new job and a bad break-up, the break-up with who she then thought was the love of her life. Eric.
The other exception was obviously Bette. But you had to cut her some slack; she had fought her feelings for a very long time and only given into them when she was no longer Bette’s teacher and therefore Bette was no longer in the job category. She couldn’t fool herself, however. The moment she had really noticed Bette and had started dreaming about her – literally and figuratively – she had been part of her personal life. But she had waited to act on it.

Hmm, I’m intrigued about what it is that Tina’s planning… Introducing Bette to her mom, maybe? That would be cool, hopefully give Bette enough reassurance that Tina is there to stay if she’s willing to come out of the closet with her family. I’m glad Bette agreed to try to make friends, too. It’s a huge part of college life and the people you meet do stick with you for the rest of your life (hopefully)
Margaret???? Gerard???pmsl sorry but justfunny to have these names today lol. Great old fashion names lol. Love it tho. That was a serious talk but as I said before both have point. I ould have the same attitude than Bette if I was in her situation and the ame if I was Tina. I really on’t want any trouble and drama beause they are just starting to be a cople and are unsettled. I just hope you will make it sweet for us tho. PPVS
Hi dear sweet Gen! *waving* Wow! This update was certainly a pleasant surprise. You are SO generous, sweetie. Thanks! We are glad that Tina made Bette promise to make more friends. She also needs to have other people in her life and so does Tina. Glad that both are going to work in that area. We also liked the convo Tina had with Helena and Tim. True friends are necessary in our lives. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.

Hey Genner, Thanks for this new posting. It was brilliant to see that Bette and Tina are trying to open out their world. Yes, they are the centers of each other’s universes however they shouldn’t be the only thing in it. Tina is right in making Bette live the college lifestyle as this is such an important stage in developing your adult self. Now Tina needs to get out there and start making a new life for her as well. These gals will need new friends around them to become part of their family. Both Bette and Tina are relatively fresh out of the closet and haven’t meet the worst of fear and hatred the world can aim at them. Becoming part of a community is important. We all need breathing space and a person to listen to us rant and rave about those nearest and dearest to us in times of frustration and uncertainity. A sounding board is a very useful person to have. Good to have Tina reconnecting with Helena and Tim. LMAO there. Many thanks for this great adventure. Your Loyal Fan.
Glad you’re not my mum as I would have a hideous middle name. I am loving this story
Great chapter. They both need others to interact with even though they are each other’s first, last and forever. However new their relationship is they still need others. It will take time but Bette will see the wisdom in Tina’s words. Thanks for taking the time to post.
