“You always get points for gifts. Thank you. They are beautiful.” Tina took the flowers and placed them on a nearby table. Alyson waited near the open door. Tina came back over and pulled her into the room closing the office door and giving her friend a tight hug whispering “I’ve missed you” in her ear. For some reason both of them felt misty eyed just holding each other and were hesitant to let go but they finally did.
“I missed you too.” Alison responded. “Are you busy? I hope I’m not disturbing you?” Alyson said wondering if she should have called first to make an appointment.
“Are you kidding me, you could never disturb me. I’m so happy to see you but I thought you couldn’t get away until the show opened. That’s not for two days right?”
“We got done early. Everything is set to perfection. The boss gave me the rest of the day plus tomorrow off.”
“That’s great so what do plan to do with your free time?”
“I’m doing it. I couldn’t think of anyone else that I’d want to spend it with so here I am. I’d like to take you to lunch if you don’t already have plans. I know I should have called first but I wanted to surprise you.”
“I’m glad you’re here. I’d love to have lunch with you but if you want to make a day of it, why don’t we head out to Santa Monica Pier.”
“Are you sure?” Spending the entire day with Tina was more than Alyson had hoped for.
“Of course I’m sure. I’ve been working pretty long hours myself I could use an afternoon off.” Tina answered relishing the idea.
“I’m game. Let’s do it.”
***
Alyson and Tina spent the entire afternoon in Santa Monica, first having lunch then shopping on the boardwalk and finally spending a couple of hours at Pacific Park enjoying the rides and playing games. As the sun started to set they put their goodies in the car removed their shoes and took a stroll on the beach.
“So are you bringing Henry to the artist dinner?” Alyson asked Tina as she contemplated the conversation she’d had with her mother.
“No. I didn’t invite Henry.” Tina answered. Realizing they had not talked about it.
“Are you bringing someone else?” Alyson asked knowing it was very possible that Tina was dating someone other than Henry.
“No. Maybe I was being presumptuous but I thought you and I would go together. Did you ask someone else?”
“I’m sorry Tina. I didn’t realize. I just assumed you would want to bring Henry. I was going to ask Sam, the assistant curator but I haven’t yet.”
“No. I haven’t even mentioned it to Henry.” Tina still struggled when her two worlds collided.
“Will you be my date then?” Alyson asked hopefully.
“What about Sam?”
“I’d really rather go with you. I only considered Sam because I thought … never mind what I thought. I should have asked you first. So will you?”
“I’d like that.” Tina said glad to know that Sam wasn’t a ‘thing’. “I’m really looking forward to the exhibit. I’ve seen all the publicity. It looks amazing.”
“It is. My mom will be very proud.”
“You should be proud too.”
“I am.” Alyson conceded. It was a huge undertaking.
“So what happens now that the show is opening? Do you go back to New York?” Tina asked not sure where they would go from here. Obviously both had left a lot unsaid.
“Actually Bette’s offered me a job that could keep me in Los Angeles indefinitely.”
“Really…are you going to take it?
“I’m thinking about it. It would be as the resident curator for all the exhibits the CAC collaborates on with the Hammer but I can still take freelance work and travel. It’s the best of both worlds.”
“So you’d be in Los Angeles permanently?”
“Yeah. I’d be based here. I really like Los Angeles and I especially like the people.”
“Any people in particular?”
“There’s a certain blonde I’m kind of fond of.”
“She’s kind of fond of you too.”

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.
