‘Are you getting back together with Mom?’
Tina did an actual spit take. Chu Lo Cherry Sour all down her chin. Angie watched, picking french fries placidly off her plate, as Tina cleaned herself up.
‘Y’okay?’ she asked.
‘Mhmm.’ Tina took some wipes from her purse. ‘Just . . . I mean, for God’s sake, Angelica, why on earth would you ask that?’
Angie shrugged. ‘You guys.’
Tina plucked at the tab keeping the packet closed, missed it, tried again, missed it, and now the wipes were covered in splotches of sticky pink goo.
‘Goddammit . . .’ she muttered, reaching for the jug of water they’d been ignoring and splashing some on her hands before dabbing them with her napkin. The entire rigmarole both a pain in the ass and a fucking godsend in buying her time.
But not quite enough. When she was finished, Angie was still looking at her.
‘What?’ Tina asked.
‘You didn’t answer.’
Tina breathed in slowly. Swallowed. Picked up her sandwich and said, ‘No.’
She took a bite, then put it down and busied herself tidying the side salad on her plate.
‘I don’t think Pippa’s gonna be around much longer, that’s all.’
Angie’s tone was phlegmatic. When Tina glanced up at her, she was sipping her Coke through a straw and half-watching the people at the next table.
‘Why do you say that?’ Tina asked.
‘Just the way Mom is around her.’
A flush of heat bloomed on Tina’s chest. She could feel it creeping up her throat, warming her ears. Her unfailing physical response to thoughts of Bette.
‘Well,’ Tina said, her face now a deep, treacherous pink, ‘I’m sure it’ll work out for the best, but it’s really nothing to do with me either way.’
She took another bite of her food. Angie seemed to let it go. And then they were just a mother and daughter sharing lunch on a Saturday, watching the bustle on Hyperion Avenue.
***
Joyce Wischnea was not known to take no for an answer. Which was why, about a month later, Tina and Angie found themselves walking into the Crystal Ballroom of the Riviera Country Club to pay homage at the famous lawyer’s seventieth birthday bash.
‘Jesus . . .’ Tina breathed, as she took in the ostentatious decor and even more ostentatious guests.

Hot damn, its on now! They are always meant to be together. Joyce is such a leech! PPS
Hi majicspider60! *waves* Good to see you here. :-)
Glad you ‘enjoyed’ Joyce, haha. I love writing her. She actually writes herself, she’s so vivid.
Will try and do another chapter or two at the weekend. :-) Thanks for the encouragement!
Largo, you nailed the Joyce character. So funny.
haha, thank you, my friend :-) She’s a dream to write, isn’t she? Hope you are well! Thanks for reading this and commenting. It is so appreciated.

Hey my Scottish pal,
Wow, another chapter so quickly – loving that. And I can imagine that Joyce does write herself!! Love Jane Lynch!!
But T & B – well, emotions do run deep, down to their very souls. Angie can see it, C saw it, now PP. Surely they can to. They ju st have to admit it & have the strength to face the inevitable- they belong together.
Great chapter & certainly hope you can compose many more soon.
BTW – did you happen to give Showtime your story outline???? I would worship you forever if you did & they took your advice!!!
Thanks for this little slice of heaven today!
Hiya pal! Thanks for reading this and commenting. They will wake up eventually, as you know, but not until the time is right ;-)
Not that I would, but I wonder if anyone has actually sent ff to Showtime?? I suspect they’d ignore it, not least for legal reasons. But yeah, you have to wonder by what route they are going to reach endgame…. I hope it’s not left till the very end. I would love to have at least a few episodes where they are actually coupled up, so we can get what we never got – happy, domestic, family Tibette!!
Anyway, take care – and enjoy your trip when it comes! Wishing you a lovely lovely time <3

LOVE LOVE LOVE This story. I meant to comment on the last chapter – Bette with the receptionist was classic and so well written. I love the slow draw, the long wait, the almost palatable foregone conclusion. SIGH. I could read your writing over and over. PLEASE for the love continue
BK
aw thank you, BK – you are the queen of Tibette and your encouragement and enjoyment of my writing means so much
I will definitely finish this story bc I don’t like leaving readers hanging! :-)
Take care

Joyce, still at the age of 70th is flirting away and Tina is so adorable when she gets shy and flushed.
It’s surely a slow path you have for our Tibette but the beginning is there, there is no way PP can’t see how Bette looks at Tina. Like Angie already saw, PP is on the way out.
I would love to see Tibette happy and domestic for a few episodes on GQ but knowing Marja she will string along the Tibetters only to get more viewers.
Look forward to read the next chapter!
I know, I could SO easily see how Laurel would act being flustered by Joyce. Those scenes where she’s flustered by Bette are *seared* on our eyeballs, aren’t they? When she’s composing the text to Jodie and when Bette is leaving for the airport and the kiss is a little more than Tina expected…. gah, so cute.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting. It encourages me to keep going! And yes, let’s hope we don’t have to wait the whole of S3 to see them together!
Have a great week, Bibi
