    Chapter 10

     

    Bette’s office, Bette answers her cell.

    (Bette smiles) Hey

    (Tina) Hey, is it an ok time?

    (Bette) Yes, you’re fine. What’s going on?

    (Tina) I was wondering if you had plans tomorrow night?

    (Bette) Ah, yes, I do. I have an important work event

    Tina smiles and they sit in silence for a moment.

    (Tina) An important work event. Hmmm

    (Bette) What?

    (Tina) It’s endearing that you’re so bad at lying given your profession

    Bette sighs.

    (Bette) Tee, I hate my birthday. You know this. Are we going to continue your endless quest to have me enjoy it?

    (Tina) Well as I recall I was successful in that regard on a couple of occasions

    (Bette sighs) What were you thinking?

    (Tina) It’s a surprise

    (Bette) Great, something else I love

    (Tina) Humour me baby

    They sit in silence for a moment while Bette thinks it over.

    (Bette) OK. But only because I know you’ll be severely hampered by us not being able to be seen out together

    (Tina smiles) I’m creative

    (Bette) Are we going to my place or yours?

    (Tina) Be out the front of your building at 7pm, I’ll meet you there

    (Bette frowns) We’re going out?

    (Tina) 7pm. Don’t be late baby


    The next evening, Bette exits her apartment building to find Tina smiling at her while casually leaning against the door of a car and holding the keys. Bette looks at her suspiciously.

    (Bette) Where did you get a car from?

    (Tina) Borrowed from a friend for the night

    Bette looks at her apprehensively, glancing back and forth between Tina and the car.

    (Bette) If I remember correctly you’re not very good at this

    Tina smiles and rolls her eyes.

    (Tina) Well if I remember correctly you’re far worse

    (Bette) Ah but I’ve been living in LA, I’m well practised now

    Tina smiles

    (Tina) Well ok then

    Tina smiles and throws Bette the keys and they both walk around the car and get in.

    (Tina) I’m pleased actually, our road trips were always slightly terrifying

    Bette laughs and nods as she starts the engine. They drive for close to an hour, Tina directing Bette along the way.

    (Tina) We’re getting close. I was planning on making you close your eyes when we approached our destination, but that’s probably not the best idea

    1. Awww… I’m glad and so relieved Bette has calmed down, that they have talked, Tina apologized and they’ve decided to keep seeing each other, kissed and made up.❤ What a sweet and lovely reenactment of a distant but vivid moment in their past. Against the beautiful backdrop of the city they both love and have managed to conquer professionally and separately, they shared a moment of bliss and unspoken but true love for one another. Thank you so much for writing and sharing this sweet and lovely chapter, katynd!❤ Please keep on writing and posting and have a lovely, productive week, katynd!:)

    2. I anticipated that this would be a great story line. How lucky I was to wait a little while to read the 1st 10 chapters all together. The way you wrote the reconnection was/is very good!

      I want more, please. While I can be patient, this story line has me by my heart.

      THANKS

      Thanks for your good work on the unique Tina/Bette adventure!

    3. So they have reconnected and talked…. but the problem still exist. Even though Tina felt like she was betraying Bette by publishing the article without talking to her, she felt that she was making the best decision in her own best interest. And that should the situation arise again, she would do the same thing. Bette felt betrayed and still feels betrayed. But she is willing to risk being betrayed again to resume her relationship with Tina. And the fact that Bette knows this may happen again, will have an effect on their relationship. Bette will feel less trusting or more guarded as to what she can talk to Tina about. She will be less likely to talk to Tina about things which bother her in her professional life for sure and maybe things in her personal life as well. For if anything Tina precieves to be of the public interest, she will feel duty bound to publish in the New York Times. Everything of course which does not involve her relationship with Tina. That Tina will protect their relationship at all cost. And there lies the rub. The duty to publish whatever is in the public interest on any public persona verses the protection of her own public interest to protect her position with the newspaper. As Bette said in the last chapter: “By all mean, protect yourself” . I almost felt her saying: “Protect yourself and just throw me to the wolves and without warning”. This situation still exist. They might have decided that it can be put into the rear view mirror and go on. But, what happens next time? And there will be a next time as long as Bette Porter is a Senator from the state of New York and as long as she is in a relationship with Tina Kennard which is not known to the public and Tina decides that she cannot warn Bette as to what is coming. For this is not a situation where one or the other says I screwed up and I know I did wrong and I will never do that again. It’s a situation that will happen again and in very much in the same fashion as the first one. And Bette now feels that Tina is not in her corner and may never be in her corner. The problem still exist…. it is now more real.

      Thanks for the chapter. I know there is so much more to come for these two.

    4. Catched up and i am with Martha, this will happen again maybe but Bette is willing to take the risk because she is so in love with Tina and although Tina doesn’t say it, she feels the same. It’s a difficult game they are playing, a non caual commitment, they had a warming with Tina’s article and i think their relationship will come out in the open against their will and cause a huge problem for them. Who will step down or will they seperate final this time?

      I really hope you are a true Tibetter and that at the end we will have a Tibette endgame.
