(Tina smiles) I do
She raises an eyebrow.
(Tina) Though that was fifteen years ago. I look a bit different to back then
Bette smiles as she has a sip of coffee.
(Bette) Please, if anything you’re sexier
Tina raises her eyebrows and they smile at each other for a moment.
(Tina) Boss vibe?
Bette gives a small laugh and nods.
(Bette) Maybe
They continue smiling at each other and Tina then steps towards her, leaning over her on the bed and kissing her on the cheek. Bette closes her eyes and takes a breath, resisting the temptation to turn towards her. Tina leans back but remains in position over her for a moment, and they smile at each other.
(Tina) I’ll see you tonight
(Bette smiles) OK
Later that day, the doorbell rings and Bette makes her way to the front door. She opens the door to Alice, and steps aside to let her in. They make their way to the kitchen together.
(Bette) Thank you for coming
(Alice) It’s fine, is Tina not here?
(Bette) She’s at work, they’re OK with me being alone for periods of time now and someone just being here each night
Alice nods as she takes a seat at the bench.
(Bette) Coffee?
(Alice nods) Sure, thanks
Bette fetches the pot from the stovetop and places two mugs on the bench.
(Alice) So, there’s something you want to talk about?
(Bette nods) Yes
Bette pauses for a moment before continuing.
(Bette) I want to talk to you more about how I feel about everything that happened back then. How I feel about it in the present day I mean. How I talk about it when it comes up, and how I talk about Tina
Alice raises her eyebrows.
(Alice) I’m surprised you’d come to me for this conversation
(Bette shrugs) I think that you won’t hold back. And that’s what I want
Alice nods slowly.
(Alice) OK
Bette pours both their coffees and slides one across the bench to Alice.
(Bette) So, when we talk about what happened back then. I assume it comes up on occasion?
(Alice nods) Sometimes
(Bette) And how do those discussions go with me? You’d presumably speak the way you did the other night, pointing out everything I did. And how do I react?

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.
So enjoying this story!
Thanks
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.
