She and Bette had had an equally large home in NYC. Tina had had a home office as did Bette. Tina also had a home studio and theater room so on occasion; she could work from home if needed. So she understood about needed space for work and leisure. Angie needed her space too. Her bedroom had everything a typical teenager could want and then more.
Tina was always getting after Bette for attempting to spoil Angie. Bette would always have the same reply, “But T, she’s our Baby. How can I not give her everything?” Year after year was more of the same. Tina would roll her eyes at Bette and insist that Bette keep whatever she was buying within reason.
Tina knew that in her heart, Bette was just an old romantic and a softie when it came to the people she loved. Bette couldn’t or won’t deny her family anything. She worked very hard and long hours to secure their future and lifestyle. Tina had done the same thing as well. Both partners had endured countless dreary meetings and kissed enough asses over their years working in the business world. They did it for each other and their daughter.
Tina had finished with her toiletries and had just changed into more comfortable clothes when she felt a presence behind her. She knew it was Bette. She felt her like she always did. Just the nearest of Bette would make the hairs on Tina’s arms stand up, the tingling in her stomach, the ache in her heart and the dizziness in her head. All caused by one Bette Porter.
“Hey.” Bette said softly as she leaned her sleek body against the door jamb, the door open. She took a long look at Tina and still liked what was right in front of her. Even in a pair of jeans and a light weight pullover sweater Tina could still make Bette’s heart race.
“Hey yourself.” Tina replied back, turning around and facing her ex-wife. Oh my God, Tina thought seeing Bette; she can still make me weak in my knees just by looking at me.
“Feeling better?” Bette asked a small smirk on her face.
“Yes, thanks.” Tina breathed in deeply, trying to calm her racing heart. “I just got off the phone with Angie. They were getting ready to leave Jordi’s. Apparently, Shane handed Angie the keys to the Jeep after she passed her test and she told her she could drive wherever she wanted. Naturally, Angie drove right over to Jordi’s house. They should be back here in about an hour.”

Well, Bette is still interested in Tina. But is Tina interested in Bette? Does not appear so thus far. Tina has booked a hotel room not too far away. Bette has evidently informed everyone she is still interested in Tina. But with Tina, its all business.
Keep it coming. Thanks for this chapter.
Hi Martha,
Thanks for your comments.
Rest assured that the affection and profound love that our fav couple have for one another has not faded,
It still burns bright & will become more of the story as additional chapters are posted.
The time line for this story is the two weeks prior to Election Day – so its a bit of a slower process than all at once.
Lots more to come.
Thanks for reading & please enjoy the rest of the story!!!!!!!!!!
Great chapter!
It isn’t often that i disagree with Martha’s comment but i think Tina still has deep feelings for Bette. And i have hope they will talk and are able to rekindle their relationship.
I like Pierce, he is a good assistent to Bette and that he pointed out to her that Dani has feelings for her.
The talk Bette had with Dani was honest and to the point. Let’s hope Dani does something with it. She knows now for sure that Bette will never see her as something other than her PR manager. Dani should be open and learn from Tina.
Granny Porter, so funny ☺️ I like the banter between Bette and Tina!
Looking forward to the next chapter!
Hey Bibi,
Happy Monday!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for the comments & insight. I truly appreciate it.
B&T relationship is still there – but like Jennifer & Laurel said, they have to earn it!!!!
They will both recall some saucy memories of their relationship over the next few chapters & explore their past & present connection.
Pierce – I thought how the writers just had him walk away from the campaign & not even talk to Bette about it was very poor writing. So I utilized his character for a better purpose & to be the guide that Bette needs in this campaign. To me, Dani was over her head with just the PR stuff as she really wasn’t a team player & seemed to keep both Bette & Pierce in the dark with a good deal of her campaign activities. So I didn’t feel comfortable with her “taking over” the campaign if Pierce left.
As I mentioned before, I wasn’t impressed with Dani’s character or the actress who portrays her. Too one dimensional & lacks emotion & empathy. Yes, very much like the Bette of OG season 1, but lacking the charisma & depth of character to pull it off.
Yes, hopefully Dani does pay attention to the wake up call.
Yes, Bette turned the table on Tina with the “Granny” comment!! Great fun.
Thanks again & will post soon!!!!!!
Thank you for the update!
But still don’t see clear the reason why they divorced. If the only reason that Tina needed the space – why divorced& Why not try lived separately but still be in the marriage? Or Bette already had her eyes on Felicity?
Hi Zhenya,
You welcome for the update!!!!
I think most of us would not have had Bette & Tina divorce if we were writers on the show. But they did & I chose to follow that story line for this book.
I will have Tina talk about her reasons in the next few chapters as the time line moves forward. Remember, in this story, we are still on the day that Tina has arrived back in LA. So a lot more to come.
I don’t believe that Bette was involved with Felicity before she & Tina divorced. Bette herself has said that Tina was & still is the love of her life.
I am thinking about writing another story where Bette & Tina don’t divorce & they separate instead. We’ll see.
Thanks for your interest.
Take care & stay safe!!!
I do believe the love is still there between Bette and Tina. I get the sense that Tina is not trying to rush like they’ve done before and failed.
Hi Trecelovinit,
You are absolutely right – the love is still there, but guarded at the moment.
Tina has a lot of explaining to do & forgiveness to ask for from Bette & Angie.
There is a sweet memory from Bette on the horizon for Chapter 4 that I hope you will like that provides some direct connection between our fav couple.
Patience is key.
Thanks for reading!!!!
Still catching up!
I feel the love Bette and Tina have for each other coming from the page but am pleased you’re not rushing them back into a relationship.
Glad you sorted Dani out!
Enjoying it, thanks

Hi SassyGran,
Thank you so much for reading & following this story.
I was motivated to write it based on what we saw on Gen Q & how disappointing that was.
Our fav couple has a lot to work out yet & that can’t be rushed – lots of feelings, emotions & actions to explore & resolve.
Dani is too big for her britches & needs to learn from others who have far more experience than she does. I thought it was such poor writing by the writers to allow Pierce to walk off the campaign for Bette. That wouldn’t happen in real life. Just crazy. So I reworked the situation & had him remain in his position = you’ll see that in later chapter.
Thanks again & stay safe. Saw that you were isolated from your family & friends – we are here in the states as well..
Until the next chapter!!!!!!!!!!
Hi,
Agree on both your points re Dani and Pierce.
Start 9 weeks of solo isolation tomorrow and getting fed up with my own company:-)
