”Well, I don’t know what happened. She was acting weird, don’t you think?” Bette tried to be calm and respond without any negativity, because she didn’t want to ruin the evening.
”I don’t think she meant anything offensive or bad”
”Tee, I don’t know what she meant or didn’t mean, but it sounded extremely inappropriate. We hardly know each other, why does she allow herself to talk about our divorce or what we call each other? And what was that idiotic thing about her not thinking I’d be there with you? What are these hints?”
Both women looked less relaxed and happy than they had a moment ago. Tina took her hand off Bette’s leg and spoke. ”Bette, you’re taking this too seriously. Why would she try to intentionally hurt you or be rude? What’s the point? We communicate well, she has no reason to behave the way you see it”
”Yes, I would say that you are just amazing communication” Bette muttered, turning her head away from Tina.
”What? I can’t hear what you’re say”
Bette closed her eyes for a few seconds and exhaled slowly, as if gathering her strength. Then she turned back to Tina and looked into her eyes.
”I didn’t want to bring up this topic at all, because to be honest, this is some kind of kindergarten. But all those touches, her flirting, the look, the smile, your response to it all… it makes me nervous and stressed, Tina. I don’t want to be a tyrant and limit you in something, but I can’t just watch as you are so openly flirting with a woman who from the very beginning of your acquaintance makes you ambiguous vibes”
Tina listened to Bette with surprise and dissent on her face. ”What kind of vibes are you talking about? What is my response? After all these years, haven’t I earned the trust and confidence that I will never respond to any flirting if we are together? This sounds very unpleasant. It feels like you’re picking on stuff just to… I don’t know why”
”Don’t say that. I trust you completely and I don’t doubt you. It’s not that, but that you just do not notice how this woman behaves with you, and from the outside it is very visible. I thought it was my problem and I was really overreacting, but at the party tonight, Alice noticed it between you, too, so…”

So Bette is jealous of Margot because she is still afraid that Tina might leave her again. Actually that is a reasonable fear and I think that Bette should talk to Tina about it. Bette should definitely explore this fear with her therapist as well. Tina needs to understand that her leaving the relationship has left Bette with that fear – its happened three times already and who’s to say that a Margot or someone like her might bring on another exit.
Tina is a smart woman – she knew there was a problem and she should have seen jealousy as symptom. She knows Bette well enough to know that Bette was not comfortable with Margot conversation. Bette was smiling in that being polite but not genuinely glad to see Margot. And Margot had the same expression. So why bring it up when Bette has provided a romantic setting for the evening ending celebration? Why not wait until breakfast the next morning? Let the evening flow as it will?
Now, the arrival of Natalie? If Natalie is really running away from home on her own, she would have her cell phone. She would have some money or some kind of plan for her journey. She would not just show up on someone’s doorstep. But she shows up abruptly and unannounced. And I think she would have had a better story than what she had if she were running away. Of course there maybe more going on at home than she is saying.
Interesting chapter…. it seems that there is just no end of problems – let’s hope that Tina and Bette can hold it in the road while they get through all these challenges.
Post more when you can…. I want to see how they get to a somewhat normal life.
I will try to publish the next chapter as quickly as possible. Thank you for your thoughts and attention to this story!
Thank you for the chapter!
Oh, first – i love jealous Bette :). And i think she has her reason to do it – to be suspicion about this Margo.
Second – i think it’s right thing what Bette did – texting Natalie father and let him know where his daughter.
And third – i think Tina also right what she said about Natalie and her father’s fight. They need to listen his story (if he wants to tell it) and then judge him.
Yeah, Bette’s jealous side has its charm :)
Thank you, Zhenya!
Bette is jealous of Margot and upset that Tina appears to respond. At least they talked. Tina has to set boundaries with Margot and I feel this will help Bette.
Poor Natalie. At least Bette contacted her father.
I think you’re right about boundaries. Good to see you here!
