    Chapter 29 – FEELINGS

    But, had she really?

    Would she act in the same manner again today if given the chance?

    “I . . . I don’t know what you expect me to do.” Bette tried to stay remote by avoiding directly answering Tina’s question. She was being defensive because she knew Tina still had the power to affect her like no one else ever could. Not even her children.

    Because Tina still held her heart.

    “I expect you to help a friend who obviously needs whatever help she can garner.” Tina’s voice was laced with disdain for Bette’s current attitude.

    “I didn’t know we were . . . friends.” Bette stared at the blonde, uncertainty in her dark, troubled eyes.

    “Oh, I’ve always been your friend Bette.” Tina’s voice was clipped back as she waged an internal war with herself. She felt the color rise in her neck, chest and cheeks. Her eyes were a stormy green. Damn Bette and her infuriating manner. “Even when you haven’t been mine.”

    “Listen, don’t assume anything.” Bette spat back; her eyes narrowing as she spoke. She was agitated now, both at Tina and herself. “You actually don’t know anything about me anymore. Nothing.”

    “Well, I wouldn’t assume anything about me either, doctor.” Tina challenged the brunette right back, raising her brow in defiance. “But, I can tell you that the woman I once knew would be willing to help. No questions asked.”

    “Don’t be naïve, Tina.” Bette said darkly. She suddenly stood again and maintained her balance this time. Her face was remote as she quickly poured more water into her glass. She took a long drink and a few moments to respond. She steeled herself against any reminders of how she had been at that earlier stage of her life. “At this point in time, our lives are very complex and demanding.”

    “Your point, dear doctor?”

    “Look, I’m willing to help Ashley with medical treatments through my company.” Bette promised. “I do so as a doctor. But that woman you referred to earlier . . . that Bette Porter.  Well . . . she didn’t survive. She’s long gone.”

    An immediate, sharp silence filled the room, descending like a thick cloak on the two women.

    It was soon followed by a wave of utter sadness as it blanketed the former couple.

    1. Wonderful to see this update! We knew the feelings were there underneath the surface. Look forward to seeing how things develop for them during the treatments. So sorry to read all you have been through. Sending prayers for you and your family. Be blessed.

      • Thanks for the kind words about my family. Appreciate the well wishes.

        Yes, they both will be confronting & exploring their feelings for one another more & more as each chapter unfolds.

        Thanks for continuing to follow along.

    2. Excellent – just like we were in the room with them. I could feel both of their hesitations and desire to reconnect. That electricity is still there and a strong as ever.

      Wow, you’ve been putting out some awesome postings in short order – can we count on more soon?

      Loved it.

    3. Collins,

      I’ve loved this story since the first chapter, but this chapter is everything! I love how you built up to the ending of the chapter, them wrestling with their feelings, so well-written. And Tina knows the old Bette is still there.

      Have to say, too, you nailed it in the section where Tina’s emotions over Ashley can’t be contained any longer. Made me tear up.

      Thanks for the update, and I cannot wait for the next one!

      Glad that your family are doing well, and you got past the hurricane.

      • Hey pal,

        I know this novel has a special place in your heart – the sister connection.

        Both Tina & Bette are exploring these long suppressed feelings for one another & its turning their worlds upside down once again, especially Bette.

        You’ll get to explore those along with them as we continue onward.

        Next chapter should be up by next weekend.

        Thanks for the good wishes for my family.

        Take care yourself.

    4. Hey Collins,

      So happy to see a new chapter.

      Sorry to hear about your family but glad it’s going better.

      Be careful with the hurricane season and take care of yourselves.

      You can feel the emotions and struggles both Tina and Bette experience, so good written
      I hope that this will be a small step in the right direction for both of them, hopefully Bette will not close down and bury her feelings for Tina again and that Tina will be gently and patient with Bette to let her open up and let her see they could be a couple again. Because they just belong together!!!

      Looking forward to the next chapter.

      Take care my friend ❤️

      • Hey friend,

        Thanks for commenting 0 I know its been awhile for this update.

        Thanks for the words about the family – both of y brothers are ding better & the eldest just celebrated his 83rd BD yesterday!! YAY!!

        Back to Tibette & DOH – Bette’s reactions seem to be the biggest question. But I think TK will guide her along with gentleness & care. Totally agree – they DO belong together.

        New chapter up next weekend!!

        Stay safe.

    5. Sorry to hear that you’ve had some difficult times with your family, but so glad that the situations have improved. Hope you enjoyed your time with the family too.

      What a powerful chapter, filled with angst, emotions, tons of love and perhaps hope too.

      Thanks for this terrific piece of writing.

      Hoping for more soon.

      • Yes, I’m very happy that the health situations with my brothers have improved! Yes, the time with my family was sweet – especially with the youngest nephews & nieces – they all so cute at these ages!!

        Yes, lots of hope & hopefully Bette can get out of her own way & learn to express herself to Tina again.

        The conclusion of this meeting is next – look for it next weekend.

    6. OH.My.God what a chapter, I had tears in my eyes reading the last part !

      Bette is so stubborn sometimes…and Tina is so pushy but I guess we’ll forgive her given the circumstances. I bet the next scene will be Bette running like a rabbit out of the room hahaha !

      I’m so glad you updated, this chapter was worth our wait.

      I hope the tribulations of your life will calm down and that you and your family will find peace again.
      Take care.

      • Hey lady,

        I’m touched that this chapter affected you so much.

        Yes, BP has that damn stubborn streak, but she keeps interesting! You sure Bette’s gonna run like a rabbit ????? Ha!! We’ll see if you’re right.

        Still in recovery mode from the hurricane & the clean up!!! Ugh!

        Look for the next update next weekend.

    7. Marvelous chptr. Worth the wait . . .

      Wounder if U and family were taken care of by a “Dr Bette & her team”?? U seemed to be quite insightful in painting that exchange.

      And of course the “lovers world” of our two ladies 4ever remains. Will b interesting to WHEN they will be able to rediscover that part. . .but FIRST! Ashley needs tending to . .

      • Glad I was able to make it good for you.

        TBH, I’ve had more than my fair share of family illnesses down through the years. But somehow we managed to survive & deal with the treatments. So, those experiences provided background info for this novel.

        Yes, Ashley has to begin treatment & that will provide the stage for Tibette to interact more closely, leading to rediscovering each other.

        Thanks for reaching out – you’ve been missed.

    8. Ah… Stubborn Bette.
      I just read this chapter, it was Worth the wait. You are a fantastic writer, I almost cried while reading. Especially the way you describe Bettes feelings for Tina is just….. Thank you so much.
      And am glad your family is doing okay now.
      My prayers are with you all.

      • She’ll be stubborn for a few more chapters, but TK will keep picking away at that armor & seek what she knows lies beneath – Bette’s still burning love for her.

        Glad you enjoyed the update. You are too, too kind with your praise – it touches my heart!
        I know what you mean about being emotional – I’ve cried over many of these chapters myself.

        Look for an update this coming weekend.

        Let me know what you think of how this gets resolved.

        Thanks
