Chapter 3 – Dinner and conversations
”What are you talking about?”
”Well, to be honest, I was hoping this night meant something, too. At least that’s what it looked like… that it means something”
Bette said the last sentence in a whisper, almost inaudible.
”Bette…»
”Don’t say that. I’m near. I take care of you and protect you as best I can»
”Protecting me? Can you tell me exactly how?”
”By his absence at some points. It sounds strange, but I would hurt you even more if I were there for you in the situations you’re talking about»
”That sounds like bullshit and a shitty excuse, Tina. You wanted to talk about something, but I can’t today. Too much for one day, too much»
Bette got up and went into the kitchen.
”Good,” Tina said to herself. She covered her eyes with her hands and tried to pull herself together. After a minute, she got up and began clearing away the plates. At that moment, Bette came up to her.
”Leave it alone. Would you like some whiskey?”
”Yes, just a little»
Bette and Tina sat on the sofa in the living room and talked for a while. In fact, for the most part about Angie. They discussed her school and College, her new driver’s license, buying a car that their daughter really wanted, and the incident the day before – how it affected Angie. They had a couple of whiskies and were more relaxed than they had been at dinner an hour ago.
”Bette, I want to apologize. I know you’re hurt by what I said to Angie, but I’m just trying to make things right and do the right thing»
”I don’t know what’s right. Don’t apologize, these are your thoughts and you have a right to them»
Tina looked at Bette and tilted her head slightly to the side. She studied Bette’s face and tried to figure out what she was thinking.

Wow….So Tina really is engaged to Carrie and she slept with Bette last night. And she basically told Bette and Angie that her night of pleasure was a mistake. Tina…Tina.. Tina. You are in a whole lot of trouble right now! You do not seem to know what it is you want in this life – Carrie? or Bette? And everyone is being treated badly in the process. Tina needs to do some soul searching. She needs to decide what her life is going to be. A life with the Carrie (female version of Henry) who is steady, non-intruding, calm and boring OR the volatile, exciting, deeply loving and charismatic Bette. And she cannot say she doesn’t want Bette – she was the one that started the night of bliss by kissing and licking Bette’s neck. She made the first move on the night she terms a mistake.
Fascinating story…. love to see more…
Billy says
Ditto Martha. Shades of Henry. Good God please say it isn’t so. No. No. No. Also pretty terrible the way Tina has treated Bette. Ouch x100. Talk about a kick to the gut! Poor Bette. At least she has Angie. And the engagement announcement is coming. Wow. Knife right to the heart. Really Tina? Really? Her behavior is beyond cruel.
Ada says
People are actually such weak creatures when it comes to love and decision-making… Let’s see what happens next :) Thanks, Martha!
Billy says
So much craziness taking place in the world. The stories posted here are a much needed escape. Desperately seeking some happy endings. No idea where you are headed with your story but sure am hoping Bette doesn’t get torn apart and hurt more than she already has been. Cannot believe that Tina considers her night with Bette a mistake. As I replied to Martha – so very cruel. How can Tina behave this way?
Ada says
Yes, sometimes we deliberately hurt each other and do it with extreme cruelty, and it upsets me, but life is complicated and it’s not always smooth. Thank you for your opinion! :)
Bibi28 says
I agree ???? with Martha and Billy!!!
Tina is beyond cruel to Bette, a mistake, really Tina!!!! You are the one who started the whole thing and she even hasn’t dig the knife in to Bette’s heart about being engaged.
I really don’t like Tina now. She needs to do some soul searching and work her own shit out before she hurt and drag other people with her.
Poor Bette, i volunteer to give her the care and loving she needs. Thank god she has Angie, the have a incredible bond.
I am not sure where you are headed with this story but i am still haunted by the bullshit Gen Q has thrown us. Still having nightmares. It sounds silly but i am a diehard Tibette fan and can’t handle this pain.
If you can promise us that there is a happy Tibette ending i will continu to read.
Ada says
We write in order to show the situation from the side from which we see it ourselves. I love Tibette too much to write a sad ending. Everything will be fine :) it’s another matter how they get to this end. ❤️
Billy says
Glad to know this. Totally agree with Bibi. Do not like this Tina at all. Not enjoying this story so far. Will give it a little more time.
Deanna says
I’m right there with you Bibi. Not a Tina fan. I’m a died and true TiBette fan too. Gen Q is trying to destroy TiBette but that will never happen. We have lovely stories here.
Zhenya says
Seems that all previous who crying how Bette hurt easily forgot s5 and Shebar kiss, initiated by Bette, and what happened after that. Forgot Bette’s words about mistake and how she in love in Jodie. Now it’s Tina’s turn.
So Bette now feeling what Tina feeling after that moment, but of course Bette as usual not remember it and only thinking about her feelings.
Billy says
Oh my word Zhenya – Tina’s turn? Really? Tina’s turn to do what exactly? Tina’s turn to be totally terrible and intentionally kick a broken Bette when she is already down? Bette deserves this emotional abuse? Equating 20 years complete with two marriages in that time period and a child together to one Shebar kiss? Tina divorced Bette. Tina had sex with a vulnerable Bette. Tina is engaged!!! Bette doesn’t even know. Tina destroyed Bette with the divorce and will soon do it again with the announcement of the engagement. Bette was never engaged to Jodie. Far from it. But here we go again. Punish Bette time. Tina cheated with Henry. She just likes to think she didn’t. Their relationship was in trouble (due to Tina) so it was okay. She hid her second pregnancy. They were not together then so it was okay. Just Bette’s dream to have a child but so what. Tina flaunted Helena. Bette and Tina not together so the emotional abuse was fine. Tina had cyber sex. Hmmmm. Hard to reconcile that one. Oh wait – Tina was confused. Tina was ready and eager to have sex with Josh. But wait – she didn’t actually do the deed. Some folks are very good at rationalizing Tina’s poor choices and bad behavior. So easy for some to make Bette the heavy. Probably due to Candace. Agree 100 percent with Bibi. Between those who continue to brow beat Bette for actions 15-20 years ago to the mess that GQ created…it is just too much to take. TiBette forever!
Deanna says
Tina is a cruel bitch. By Tina’s conflicting emotions, Tina needs to be alone and get her act together. Tina’s attitude towards her night with Bette as a mistake is abhorrent. I wouldn’t blame Bette if she closed the door on Tina forever. Tina cheated on Carrie too. Neither Bette nor Carrie deserve the actions of Tina. Tina’s behavior is awful and right in front of her bright child. Angie sees right through Tina. Bette was trying to talk to Tina but she shut the conversation down. Then there is Carrie…Tina made her bed now she must dig herself out of a huge hole.
This story ripped my heart out, Ada. Way to get the emotions flowing. I hope there is something to salvage. I’m afraid I’d never be the same though.
Billy says
Well said. Ripped my heart out as well. Love might be complicated but this Tina is a downright repellent character. Here’s a revelation Tina: You cannot get out of this without hurting someone who does not deserve it. This is on you. Sadly this is the first story I have read where I just might believe Bette and this Tina are better off apart. Tina’s last night was a mistake comment is beyond awful and lamenting all of it in front of Angie is unforgivable. She totally blindsided Bette and is about to do it again.
