Allyn Barnes worked closely with a professional photographer and graphic designer named Lisa to design all the promotional material for the exhibit and to produce the invitations for the private showing and artist dinner. Lisa took individual photographs of the paintings and worked with Allyn and Alyson to label them by name and to write brief descriptions for the text panels. She also took portrait and candid still shots and videos for the catalog, posters and website. Everything was on schedule. Bette and Allyn couldn’t be more pleased with Alyson’s work.
In the final two weeks before the grand opening Alyson was working 14 hour days and couldn’t get away during the week or on Saturdays for the workouts at the gym with Tina. She missed their routine but was glad Tina understood. Having lived with Bette for so many years Tina knew how all-consuming the art shows could be in the final few days before the grand opening.
***
Although Alyson was busy, her mother noticed that she seemed to be distancing herself a bit. She knew her daughter well enough to know something other than work was on her mind. It could be because her stay in Los Angeles would come to an end once the exhibit opened but her mother’s instinct told her that her daughter was maybe smitten and a little heartbroken. She was having dinner with Alyson at the loft and figured now was a good a time as any to talk to her daughter about what was on her mind, namely Tina.
“I don’t mean to pry darling but is there more to this friendship than you’re telling me?”
“We’re just friends mom. She’s dating some guy named Henry.”
“Henry? How come we’ve never met him? I don’t think she’s even mentioned him.”
“I don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t feel comfortable with her gay friends.”
“But she’s gay isn’t she? I mean she was married to Bette Porter; she dated Helena Peabody just recently right? But now you’re telling me she’s dating a man; so she’s bisexual?”
“She doesn’t like to be labeled. She says she just goes with what feels right. She’s attracted to both men and women.”
“Is there a chance that you two could become more than friends? Is she as attracted to you as you seem to be to her?”

An Epilogue is always in your power:-)
Hey SassyGran. That is true, but I think the readers would want a Tibette epilogue and I can’t make that work without breaking some hearts. Thanks for sticking with the story until the end.
I would never not stick with one of your stories to the end even when you injure my Tibette heart!
Glad to see that you will be finishing your other stories and look forward to reading.
Thanks as always and PPS :-)
Thanks. Wanted to know about the baby
Thank you wkm. Bette had a boy. She and Emma got married. A years later Emma gave birth to their daughter using the same donor.
Can’t find the words to describe not having a TIBETTE ending but with TINA attracted to ALYSON and BETTE with EMMA then in a way a happy TINA and a happier BETTE will suffice.THANKS.PS
dunnthat
I know it’s hard to end a Bette and Tina story without any hope of reconciling but these two just drifted too far apart and sadly the relationship was built on a foundation of fear and uncertainty and it came to pass. Thanks for reading and giving it a chance. I appreciate your insightful comments.
Know that i am in concert with all three comments above. And a whole epilogue would have been wonderful and you actually gave us a small one in you response to wkm. If that was fleshed out a bit, it would make a good epilogue. Just wanted a bit more information regarding their lives, including Tina and Alyson. Thanks for posting. Have a great weekend.
Dainty. Thank you for reading and commenting. I don’t have enough inspiration to flesh out their lives with different partners. You know I’m a Tibetter at heart and it would be too tempting …
Instead I will work on finishing my other stories. Thank you as always for being so loyal and for telling it like it is. I loved your comments about Helena.
Hi Bat, I’m sorry I couldn’t write any comment in the former chapters, I was in the other side of the galaxy (job stuff), and you have been posting pretty quickly. I’m reading the chapters I missed and of course this story doesn’t have the tibette ending that many of us like; but you made it very clear from the beginning that this is not a tibette story; Bat, it is nice to read something so very well written. I really like your story because “makes me think” and open my horizons; however I still have some doubts, I’m no bisexual but I have a deep respect and appreciation for bisexual women; but at the end I don’t know if “this Tina” was definitely bisexual or if she ended confused or worse than at the beginning of the story, when she was living with a strong alpha as “this Bette”, later she has a relationship with another strong alpha (who was a real bitch) as Helena, a relationship that she, similarly than with “this Bette”, ended because she, in some way, rejected the dominance but couldn’t confront it; apparently “this Tina” prefers relationships with her “equals” (understandable), why does she chose a men like Henry? probably because her feeling for the breaking of her relationship with “this Bette” was very painful and she thought that no other women could fill the empty space, or probably because she really didn’t care who it was, she just needed someone to fill that emptiness, to feel protected from another heartbreaking relationship, and that she was trying to forget women as a way to forget “this Bette”, or maybe she was really bisexual; which lead me to think what could we expect from her possible relationship with Alyson, and this girl has all the reason to doubt how her interaction with “this Tina” would result. At the other side of the story we have “this Bette” the superhero of the story (I like superheroes), the one who has everything, the beauty, the goodness, the friends, the money the protection, she has only one defect, she wanted to have a child and probably as the alpha she was, she wanted her partner to carry the baby, but her partner “this Tina” wasn’t feeling sure that she wanted to do that, on the contrary, she was very insecure and this situation, unleashed more “hidden issues” on her; fortunately a psychologist helped “this Bette” to realize she could do everything keeping herself as alpha and getting pregnant, the psychologist becomes her partner. Though the relationship between “this Tina” and “this Bette” is very “civil” and apparently they both become part of the same “gang”, however I feel the story could be a little more completed if you could give us a perspective about how “this Tina” face her future, if she solve her problems and a little more about “this Bette” and Emma and her family and of course if there is anything else about the “bad guys” Helena, Kelly and Jodie. In other words I’m asking if an epilogue of this story is possible; I’m sorry again to write too much and keep bugging you, but this is really exciting for me. Thanks again for this nice but hard story and I hope you may have time to finish the other wonderful ones.
protenomics. I missed you. Glad to have you back. I will respond to your comment in detail when I am on my computer.
