Tina wasn’t sure why she’d attended the art talk at the CAC. It wasn’t as if she really had any interest in Laurie Pappos’ work, but when she’d seen the flyer advertising it on the bulletin board at the center she decided to go. She didn’t have any intention of talking to Bette, she just wanted to see her and be in her presence. Some might say her behavior was a bit stalker-ish, but she didn’t see it that way. She just felt so alone sometimes that every now and then she needed to do something that made her still feel like she was a part of something that would connect her to her old life.
The program ended with loud applauds and a standing ovation. Tina took that opportunity to slip out the side door without being noticed, or so she thought.

Bette was in her element surrounded by art and animatedly greeting and talking to people that loved it as much as she did. The young man that was sitting next to Tina and several others went over to let her know how much they enjoyed the program. She loved doing one on one art talks with controversial artists like Laurie Pappos. The venue was free and held on the weekend so it usually attracted young college students which delighted her. She cherished any chance to expose their impressionable minds to the diversity and beauty of the art she was so passionate about.
As the audience started thinning out Bette broke away and started towards her office. When she reached for the door she felt slender but strong arms wrap around her waist from behind. She stopped and leaned back into the hug as she took in the sweet scent of the woman who held her heart. She was greeted with a kiss on the cheek then turned to face her lover.
“Hi Sweetie.”
“Hi yourself. I didn’t think you’d make it.” Bette said surprised to see Emma.
“I had a cancellation and was able to rearrange a couple of appointments.”
“I’m glad you’re here.”
“Me too.”
“What did you think?”
“Amazing as always. You really do have a gift.”

Hey Bat, I really love your story. I read your comments, and as some others I never believed that Bette was the bad guy in the show (probably the directors, writers and some of the audience did); I personally was shocked with the lack of impartiality in the show; but your story is different, is not as in the show. I remember hating the way Bette was treating in seasons 2, 3 and 4 (remember trying to skip some episodes when watching TV), and how they made her guilty of infidelity with Jodi in season 5 and with Kelly in season 6 (the last one never happened). IMO the main problem was the uneven relationship (after Tina left her job), the lack of communication, aggravated for the components of an alpha partner and a weak defeated one, like the old idea of a traditional hetero-couple, and they portrayed every cheating in the same way (by the way one cheating doesn’t justify another as it may be apparent from the show). But your story is different, no Bette’s cheating, no daughter; here we have a strong alpha woman, popular, powerful and loved for everybody (no for Helena of course), and a weak defeated one with a great burden of guilt who suddenly has lost the compass of her life falling in the abyss of her remorse and pretense, trying to mask her own misery; both women are suffering and a great love is destroyed, but life keep going, they may survive and thrive; this is what I like from your story. Thank so much for your post and I’m eager to read your update, pps.
