Change – Chapter 59
The food almost fell out of her hand when she saw those familiar curls.
“Bette?” she asked, trembling, almost thinking this had to be an illusion. It was only Tuesday – her girlfriend wouldn’t arrive until Friday evening.
Bette turned around and when she quickly walked over to Tina to hug her and kiss her, the blonde knew that she was very real. She was surprised by the passion and fury with which Bette held her and kissed her face, kissed every spot of skin that was exposed.
“Bette, what’s going on? What are you doing here? What about your job? Don’t you have to get up early tomorrow morning?”
Bette held Tina’s face in her hands. She looked deeply into her eyes. “I can’t do this anymore, Tina. I can’t not wake up next to you. I need to be next to you. I need to come home and find you there, or at least have the certainty that you’ll come.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean that I’m quitting my job and moving back to New Haven.”
“What about your job? It’s your dreamjob!”
“I don’t care about that. You know things weren’t great lately and I realised that it’s just not worth it. I might’ve pulled through if I had you with me, but you’re here and that’s where I want to be. I always longed so much to go back to New Haven, for you but also for the town. It might be my dream job, but I can live without it for a while. I can’t live without you for a while. Another chance will pop up and in the meantime I’ll do something else.”
“Are you sure? I mean, are you really completely sure?”
“Tina, I love art and everything that has to do with it, but I love you more. I love you so much more. I would rather clean houses all day every day than be away from you for another week.”
Tina smiled, tears rolling down her cheeks. “You hate cleaning, babe,” she whispered. Bette wiped the tears away with her thumb.
“I knew it before, but I sure as hell know it now. I am so absolutely, completely in love with you.”
“What brought about this sudden change?” Tina asked, carressing Bette’s cheek. “I mean, I know you haven’t been super-happy, but you’re talking about a major change here.”

Yes! No they don’t need drama and neither do we. Your story keeps me on board, drama or not.
Great save there Genner :)
Yes! That was a good Tuesday. :) Thanks for the post, Genner.
YES YES YES.. I agree with Tina, that was awesome, well Bette seems a lot more mature in this one than in the show.. =D Thanks so much for this, it made my day! PPVS! =))
Yay!!
Much better.Great chapter.Thanks.
A Tibette wedding to come :)
From potential drama to proposal. That was a great way to settle my anxiety. Thanks for the post gen.
Hey Genner, Another fabulous chapter as Bette made a few life-changing and affirming choices.Tina is the most important thing in her life and without her Bette had no desire to fulfill her dream. Amazing how things change when you don’t have someone to share them with.Now I can’t wait to find out how the gang and families react to this union of souls.More please and many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Yea Bette, get yourself back to New Haven. You saved the day Genner and I love the way you did it. They really didn’t need to be away from each other but Bette had to at least try it. She has also seen the fickle nature of people as well and that made her think a bit about what’s important. Glad she made the choice to go back home to Tina, New York will always be there. She is taking the most sensible approach to realizing her dream of owning her own gallery. Work in one first with good people and be happy doing it then everything will fall into place. Great update. Thanks for posting.
