    Chapter 6 – DID SHE or DIDN’T SHE??

    “Okay,” Bette addressed everyone in her office. “I think we’re set for the next few hours to get things accomplished. It’s 10:00 now. I’m going to follow up with emails and a few calls. Tina, I know you have to leave around 2:30 to pick up Angie and Jordi.  How about we regroup at 2pm to update everyone?”

    They all agreed and left Bette’s office to get to work on their projects.

    The afternoon flew by, and the office was busy with activity. The phone lines kept ringing and Bette was constantly on the phone thanking many citizens of LA for their unwavering support.

    While she was on yet another call, Bette had the opportunity to observe Tina in action with Pierce. As usual, the blonde was a fireball of activity and seemed to be multitasking quite well. Tina too was on the phone constantly, her Bluetooth coming in handy. She and Pierce often shook heads together agreeing on a point. Bette could tell that they worked together well. Bette saw this ’Take Charge Tina’ and she thought that she was as sexy as ever.

    Tina was totally in command offering advice when asked and supporting Pierce when needed. This was the Tina that Bette had fallen endlessly in love with all those years ago. Even many of the volunteers hugged Tina and gave her their approval. Bette thought that was so like Tina – always putting others first.

    Realization set in as Bette thought that was exactly what Tina had done in their marriage and throughout their relationship – she put Bette first and then Angie after she was born.

    Bette was slowing starting to realize what Tina had meant by her ‘needing space’.

    Had she really taken up all the attention in their relationship and subsequent marriage? Had she unknowingly not allowed Tina room to grow personally and to have her own voice? Had her domineering personality overshadowed Tina to the extent that Tina felt suffocated? Had she unwittingly pushed Tina too far?

    Well, no more.

    Bette vowed to talk this out with Tina during these next two weeks. She had to if Tina would still let her fight for them to be together.  To rekindle their relationship, to rekindle that endless love. That’s what she wanted above all else. And that’s what she was determined to do.

    1. Hi Collins,

      Great chapter!

      So Tina did stay and even slept with Bette in her arms. Tina is a beautiful and great woman, knowing Bette so well and will always care and nurture her in time of need. She question if she is still in love with Bette, of course she is! Why else will she hope that Bette will give her a change to work it out.

      Bette had a important revalation about her and Tina. That is a very good sign, with that she can work it through with Tina and give her the space she needs.

      It is so clearly that Bette is still so in love with Tina and the memory she had was sweet and sexy. That is the Tina she fell in love with. Confident and sure of herself.

      Tina is a great assest to Bette and her team. She can be the one that makes Bette win the election. It is clearly she is respected by Bette’s team and i think Dani realizes too that they need her.

      I love this story!

      Thank you for the update. Stay save and healthy ????

      • Hi Bibi,

        Thanks so much for your continued support.

        Tina definitely knows her woman. Yes, this is the Tina that Bette first feel in love with. She is portrayed as a strong character here and she will go after what she wants. She has much to atone for, but now she’s not afraid to speak up. Her self-worth is back.

        Glad you are enjoying the side trips down memory lane!!

        Tina has always been successful in her career and can offer anyone business advice. She’s been a top executive in several companies. She wants Bette to win on many levels – for Bette herself, to honor Kit, for Angie to prove to teenagers that you stand by your convictions no matter how hard the situation is.

        Tina & Bette’s team will have another event to collaborate in another chapter. Great fun.

        Thanks for sharing & keep safe as well!

    2. I agree with BiBi, well said. Love how Tina supported Bette and cared for her. With all their history, she knew exactly what to do to get Bette over the pain of the day. Looking forward to them talking and clearing out some of the hurts so they can salvage what is left. Thanks for the lovely chapter

      • Hi BK,

        Thanks so much for reading.

        Lots more to talk about between these two – as that has been a major stumbling block for them throughout their history – they tend to talk at each other instead of to each other & then on top of that they avoid discussing the hard topics & situation or problems never get addressed.

        They have a long way to go yet & will have to deal with some painful topics. Both need to be able to be genuinely sorry for the pain they have caused the other.

        Have a great upcoming week.

        Thanks again

        Love your story too!!!!!!!!!!

    3. Thank you for this chapter!

      I always enjoyed how Bette and Tina working together. Unfortunately we didn’t see it too often in TLW (s1 with Faye Bucley interview and maybe in s6?) So maybe your story filling the gasp and we would read about them working together more.
      And of course nice flashback.

      • Glad that you enjoyed this chapter.

        I agree with you that we didn’t see enough of the Tibette relationship & how they worked together to help each other outside the bedroom or wherever they had sex. OG missed it’s chance to create an even better couple & relationship.

        So the writers on this site will have to do it!!!!!

        Yes, I am trying to fill in the gaps that we didn’t see & give them more depth. For them to have known each other for 24 years & been in a relationship together for nearly that long, there is a LOT of situations to explore.

        Thanks for reading & some more flashbacks to follow!!!!!

    4. Very nice chapter…excellent dialogue and even with some comic relief.

      I always find that things people see in others are generally the same things that they know of themselves subconsciously. Tina wondering what it is that keeps her in a push-pull type relationship with Bette is more than likely keeping Bette in a relationship with her. The dominance Tina recognizes in Bette is something which she familiar with as it occurs in herself. Relationships are a process and a stream of communications. And it is hard to maintain relationship when both stand and fight for it. Its impossible to maintain if one throws their hands up and flees.

      Thank you for this story….look forward to more….

      I look forward to more.

    5. Happy Weekend Martha,

      So pleased that you enjoyed the chapter & some humor.

      I agree with your statement – they are well suited & very much alike in many ways. Two powerful women who just so happen to love each other with all that they have in them.

      They’re just starting the journey of forgiveness and acceptance. Much more to unravel.

      Thanks for your support & take care.

    6. I am now caught up!

      I so agree with BibBi and BK (as usual!) and would ‘Ditto’ their Comments!

      I love the personality you have given Tina, such a strong woman. Love her and love this story.

      You make me laugh and you make me cry in almost equal levels, thank you for the post.

      Stay safe and well and please post soon

      • Happy Monday SG,

        Thanks for reading & am glad you are all caught up with this story.

        Tina is strong & will need to be as she seeks forgiveness from her family.

        Glad you saw some humor in the telling of the story. There will be some tears shed too as Tibette discusses their past & what lies ahead for them.

        Stay tune for Chpt 7 soon!!!!

        Thanks so much.

      Nicely done. You have a blank slate and are doing well with the rewrite. You are so capturing the nuances of a relationship that had not run its course. It is interesting how you are capturing Tina’s doubts and questions her decision for a divorce. Divorce is so final, but it can always be undone. Love is defined by those involved and a piece of paper has little impact if the parties want to be together.

      Look forward to where you take us.

      • Thanks so much for your kind words.

        I believe there is still a lot of their relationship left that they can salvage & build a future with.

        I honestly believe that if given better writers in OG & now Gen Q, this couple won’t have suffered through all this strange & unlikely drama they have been forced to endure over the years. Even if you consider the needed drama of the “soap opera” mentality of IC, how much do you think a couple could endure?

        I still stand by my belief that IC never wanted Tibette to last & tried several times to make their breakups permanent. If not for the campaigning of JB & LH, who knows what would have happened.

        I like that Tina is a strong character here. She has so much to offer to Bette

        The next few chapters will lay the ground work of their relationship and what avenue they go down.

        Love can work wonders, especially if the two people involved truly desire to come to an understanding,

        Thanks for reading & commenting. I enjoy the conversations.

        I am enjoying your story also!!

      Oh please don’t get me stated on IC. She had a great idea, now she needs to just walk away. SMH

      It is interesting what GQ is doing with the characters. I like the strong Tina in your story. If we go with nonsense of finding yourself later in life then her coming into her own as a strong women makes so much sense.

      GQ totally missed the mark on both characters. They made Bette all wish washy where is our alpha girl and Tina just became yucky. Strong and supportive as she usually is and then twisting around in the wind. SMH again.

      The stories going right now about this situation all take a different approach, but at least the characters are believable. SERIOUSLY!!!!

      • Hey,

        Yes, wish IC would just go away & her pick of Marja was so wrong.

        How about if Tibette to have their own show!!!!
        If only – we can always hope.

        I think all the characters in Gen Q suck. The newbies are terrible & their acting is very poor. Just because they’re younger than the 4 OG characters, doesn’t mean that we will like them. PLEASE!!!

        It was super great to have Tina come back & then they blew with the marriage idea. Really??? Just by watching you could tell that they still love each other. Sure hope JB & LH can convince them to get Tibette back together.

        Loving all the stories being written now.

        Thanks for your support.
