Chapter 7
Bette has a sip of coffee as Tina moves to sit on the edge of the bed. They chat away comfortably to each other while they eat.
(Tina) So did you think of anything to do today?
(Bette sighs) Not really. I’ve been thinking of things I’d like to do, but I probably shouldn’t on my own I guess
Tina glances up at her as she helps herself to a piece of fruit from a bowl on the tray.
(Tina) Well I’ve organised to have tomorrow off, so we can do something then. What were you thinking?
(Bette) Would you come with me to see my gallery?
(Tina smiles) Are you checking up on James?
Bette smiles as she has a sip of coffee.
(Bette) Maybe a little
Tina gives a small laugh and Bette smiles at her.
(Bette) But really I’m just interested to see it. And familiar places are supposed to help with my memory
Bette shrugs and Tina nods.
(Bette) Have you heard from him at all yet?
(Tina shrugs) A couple of times, though nothing worth bothering you with
Bette smiles.
(Bette) OK, I trust your judgement
They smile at each other and Tina reaches again for the bowl of fruit.
(Tina) And yes, I’ll come with you. I’ve picked Angie up there on occasion but I’ve never really looked around. It’d be nice to
Bette looks at her for a moment and then nods.
(Bette) And how’s your day looking?
(Tina) I have a busy morning but I should be able to get away at a reasonable hour with any luck
Bette nods as she has a bite of toast, and Tina checks the time on her cell.
(Tina) Speaking of, I should probably make a move
(Bette nods) OK
Tina stands from the bed and adjusts her skirt, feeling Bette’s eyes on her as she does so. She turns to Bette and looks at her with her head leaned to one side.
(Tina smiles) What?
(Bette smiles) Nothing
Tina looks at her suspiciously and Bette smiles and shrugs.
(Bette) You look good
Tina raises her eyebrows and they hold each other’s gaze for a moment.
(Bette) I guess I always liked you dressed like this though. Remember?

Such a good story but still i am not any wiser about what happened 15 years ago between them and what caused Bette behavior towards Tina till the accident.
And why is it that Bette doesn’t want to admit or talk about that both her and Tina are in another relationship with other woman?
Think i need to practice a little bit more patience.

I’m a little confused. I’m not sure why Bette blames Tina outwardly in the current time for their “non-relationship”. Why the hostility toward Tina? And why the reluctance to admit that they are both in relationships currently which need to be addressed in some form or fashion. Bette’s girlfriend doesn’t even know she’s been in an accident and certainly will be surprised when she finds out Bette’s ex is staying in the guest room without her knowledge. And what has Tina told her fiancé’? I would expect that Tina would not withhold information from her fiancé’ on this matter. After all, she has committed to marrying her and living their lives together.
I think that Alice should have told Bette exactly what Bette is saying to defend herself…. maybe that would give Bette a hint as to what Bette’s actions and thoughts have been. If it is some kind of façade to allow her and Tina to get on with their lives without each other, then it will become apparent. At least it would be more information.
There is a multitude of layers here and Bette has so little information. I keep getting the feeling that when or if Bette does recover her memory, she is going to feel like a fool or an idiot. And that will not be good for anyone.
Thanks for the chapter…

Oh i love Alice here! I love how she defends and advocates for Tina. And nice one reminding Bette of a little reality check, that they’re both in relationships. Hihihi! I’m so following all your stories, K! PPS! :)

I think Bette wants Tina to be happy at all costs so by acting as if he hates her, she is pushing her to be with someone else who is “worthy” of her love. Bette does not have very much evidence that she is in a relationship in her home none of her things are there so I think this person is just there so she does not feel lonely while watching Tina move on with this new person. A person who seems to be living a separate life from Tina in and out of town, Tina didn’t seem to upset that she would be staying with Bette for the foreseeable future, while her fiancé is none the wiser about the situation.

It’s so sweet that Tina accepts that this Bette is different to the one she normally meets. I love the breakfast scene.
Bette’s thoughts on her dismissive behaviour to Tina seems very plausible. She could be thinking that she’s distructive (well, we know since the elevator talks) and that she’s no good for Tina. Therefore she does everything to keep Tina at a distance. Be awful to Tina so she will move on with somebody else.
Lovely conversation with Alice. She is a true friend.
Can’t wait for the next chapter! Thanks for sharing your story with us.
