Chapter 5
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to touch you.”
“I don’t mind being touched by you.”
“Obviously you do.”
Tina gets out of the bed and goes into the bathroom to shower and get dressed for work. She finds Bette in the kitchen uncharacteristically still wearing pajamas and drinking a cup of coffee. Tina busies herself with pouring coffee and cereal as she prepares her own breakfast. She wants to shut down and hide, but she can’t use avoidance and anger as her defense mechanism this time. Her admission has paved the way to the further destruction of their relationship; there was no turning back. She has to face the music as Bette is determined that they are going to continue the conversation and get things out in the open once and for all.
“Tina? Are you planning to see Josh today?”
“No. We’re consulting on the movie and we talk once a week. It’s business.”
“Maybe you should stop leading him on.”
“I don’t lead him on.”
“You do Tina. Remember when I asked you about your coffee date with him and you said it was business? Now you tell me that you are having feelings for men and that Josh is the object of your infatuation. I just think you should explore it. I mean I think you should know what this is about and frankly so should I?”
“This is so screwed up. Are you telling me to sleep with him?”
“If that’s what you want to do.”
“I don’t know what I want.”
“Well you need to figure it out.”
Bette couldn’t help but think about Jean Paul’s comment that Tina would eventually act on these feelings. Bette was lost in thought when Tina tried to get her attention.
“Bette?”
“You know Jean Paul warned me that this would happen. Maybe I should have just let him fuck you.”
“What the hell is that supposed to mean?”
“He suggested that you having sex with him would get these ‘feelings’ out of your system and hopefully also get you pregnant so we could have our baby.”
“That’s vile.”
“That’s what I thought too, but apparently he could see right through your demeanor. If I’d been paying more attention maybe I wouldn’t have been blindsided like this.”

Very nice Bat, I have to be careful with what I comment, poor Tina, she is more lost than ant walking on a highway, and poor Bette, she only feels her own pain and not her partner’s. When I watched this scene in season three, I asked myself how people that love each other as they did in that moment, could reach that breaking point, how could someone be so blind and self-absorbed; but in the way you wrote it here, I can, in certain way, understand. I still love how you take them down, they are about to sink totally, although I read many of your stories, I haven’t find this, but I love it. I’ll be waiting, impatiently, for your update this evening Thank you for this chapter, pps
How I love your writing Bat even when my heart is crying at the content, please post soon
Very sad chapter indeed, but I appreciate your take on Bette putting her foot down and leaving the ball in Tina’s court. Of course it’s dangerous especially as even Tina isn’t able or willing (I am not sure yet) to explain her sudden interest in men. But anything is better than what we saw from S3 on – just my humble opinion – I personally hated how they completely turned Bette from this strong confident woman into someone letting others push her around up to the extent of tolerating Tina’s strange behavior. Again, thank you very much bringing this story back and looking forward to your next post.
Ouch!! Thanks for your story.
