”I’m telling you – she’s mini Bette Porter”
Tina gestured at the brunette
”And mini Bette and I are proud of it”
Bette and Tina chuckled
They talked about various topics for about 30 minutes, after which Bette heard a familiar melody that played softly against the background
Bebe – Siempre me quedará
”Mm, this is Bebe… remember when we were at her 2004 induction?”
Bette tilted her head to the side and smiled affectionately at Tina, twirling her glass in her hands
”Yeah, she just presented this song that night… we danced, it was romantic. I love this song. It brings me warmth»
Bette set her glass on the table in front of the sofa, stood up, and held out her hand to Tina
”May I dance with you, lady?”
Interested Tina smiled and gave Bette’s hand and got up from the chair
Bette took the blonde in a more open part of the room. She held Tina’s waist gently with one hand and held her hand in hers with the other. Tina’s hand was on Bette’s back, and they moved slowly to the beat of the music. At first, it was just slow movements. With each passing second, this dance became more intimate and soulful. Tina wrapped both arms around Bette’s neck, crossing them lightly behind her. The brunette now had both hands gracefully wrapped around Tina’s waist, stroking and working her way from the small of her back to the middle of her spine. Every touch was so sweet and sweet to Tina.
Tina stroked Bette’s curly hair with one hand And stroked her shoulder with the other. They didn’t talk. More precisely, there were no words, but the conversation of their bodies was obvious and weightless. Bette buried her face in Tina’s neck and breathed her in. And she was drunk at the same moment. Not from the wine she’d drunk, but from the smell of her ex-wife. Notes of caramel, cinnamon and… the Mud itself. Her favorite fragrance in this world. Their eyes were still closed, and they were moving very slowly. In the kitchen, only one table lamp was on, and the light reached the room where this conversation of body and soul was taking place. Bette breathed in again, and Tina felt her legs go weak from the brunette’s breath on her neck. She was ready to melt, to fall into her arms right here and now. Bette lightly, almost imperceptibly, touched her lips to the top of Tina’s neck. It was such a smooth and gentle kiss that not everyone would even notice it, but Tina felt it like an ocean of love.«I’ll explode with you too»
Bette whispered very softly in Tina’s ear. Her voice was low and reaching to every corner of Tina’s soul.
It was incredible. Tina’s heart ached with the love she felt for this woman. And that was all Bette had to answer that letter. Her embracing hands, her kissing and whispering lips, her breathing and closed eyes. That was Bette’s answer. This was how she expressed her thoughts and feelings. Not in emails, but bodily, close, sweet, aching in the chest. They didn’t speak anymore because words were unnecessary. They said more to each other than they could have. Now they were hugging each other tightly but carefully, their heads resting on each other’s shoulders. They didn’t want to stop, to leave, to uncouple. They didn’t want to let go of that feeling.

Bette is a very tactile and sensual individual so it makes perfect sense to me that she would be more comfortable holding Tina, touching Tina and dancing with her. Until: ‘I’ll explode with you too.’ My favorite line. Bette did process Tina’s words. Yes there is a lot to discuss and sort out but that has to be put on pause for a bit because Angie needs to be front and center right now. She is their child and looking out for her welfare is as it must be. Both parents need to create a united front in dealing with their underage daughter and her drinking. Also, Angie has been incredibly rude. Her attitude may be more than just alcohol induced. Is she taking drugs? Is this more than teenage rebellion? They need to get to the bottom of Angie’s hostility. Bette and Tina do make a good team. Kind of a good cop bad cap team in a way. I suspect Angie will have a doozy of a hangover in the morning and an even worse attitude. I am glad that Tina is spending the night. In the guest room. Keep communicating ladies and – Tina – Margot needs to go. No no no messy distractions. And Bette – no more Lisa’ s. You have a chance to get your life back – a very good chance – both of you do. I liked that Bette stopped ranting about her work and asked Tina about her day. This is progress. Despite the Angie drama there were some very sweet and tender and hopeful moments. Good story. Good chapter.
Thanks, Billy. Yeah, I think that parents should be a close-knit team and help their daughter overcome a difficult life stage. It’s good to have Tina around now. If Bette had been alone, it would have been much harder for her to deal with Angie.
I found Bette’s response of just wanting to be in Tina’s presence and have the intimate dance with her absolutely fascinating. Bette has always been a tactile and physical person. After all it was Bette who began the relationship with a kiss when she returned Tina’s earring. Not with words but with a simple kiss which said “I’m attracted to you, but I simply do not have the words to say what I feel at the moment.” So to begin a reconciliation process with physical contact of a dance and simply holding Tina close is so very much like Bette and her mode of communication. And from their evening, this was a time in which both could and did experience a connection without sex which I believe is a good starting place for a potential reconciliation. I do believe that Bette will put words to her response to the letter at some point, but for now this was as powerful a communication to Tina as she would expect.
There is a big time problem with Angie and both of them see it. I was surprised that Bette allowed Angie to get by with her response early in the morning when she asked her if she needed a ride to school. And now that Bette and Tina are sharing information on Angie’s mutual rudeness and now her intoxication, they stand a much better chance of getting to the source of the problem and taking corrective actions. It would actually be beneficial to Bette and Tina and their corrective action and paths if Angie is sick tomorrow morning. Sickness is not much fun. And sometimes being miserable will be a more more powerful lesson than having only a slight discomfort for overindulging. Most people try not to repeat things which make them miserable.
This was a very interesting chapter…. lovely evening with Bette and Tina. Just hope Bette and Tina can get Angie back on a path of rational behavior and not what she is doing…
Thank you for this…. love to see more.
Taking care of Angie and trying to understand her problems can bring Tina and Bette even closer together. Or this focus primarily on the daughter, on the contrary, can prevent the restoration of their personal relationships. In any case, Angie needs her moms right now, even if she doesn’t realize it. Thank you for your comment, Martha, I love your thoughts.
Hey Ada,
Very interesting chapter. Lots to digest.
I agree with Billy & Martha on their comments.
Agree that Tibette needs to have a serious talk with Angie & keep a much better track of her on a daily basis before her behaviors become major problems.
Good start on them back on track themselves.
Keep it going!!!

Welcome you here, Collins. Yes, sometimes teenagers need a little more attention than even the best parents give them. And teenagers do not always let them get close to them and allow them to give them this attention. Thanks for your feedback on this chapter! Looking forward to continuing your story too!
Ada
I loved this chapter. Loved Bette’s vulnerability in seeking proximity to Tina without being yet ready to talk. Haven’t we been in a situation where we aren’t ready to verbalize how we feel but know things are better when someone we love is near. As long as the letter is discussed at some point, please Bette and Tina talk about the letter and the events leading up to it. Bette is so good at shelving her emotions so I hope she can unpack how she is feeling and Tina can better explain her decision making. Great start to my weekend, Ada. Thanks
I really like understanding the character of Bette that was shown to us in the original TLW. When you feel so much and strongly that you can’t put it into words. I think that’s such a beautiful and kind thing about Bette’s character. Sensuality and emotionality is always difficult, but it can bring a huge amount of love to life. Thank you and have a nice weekend!
Ok, now i’m really confusing about what happening with Angie?
Sorry, I haven’t seen your comment before. I hope the next chapter provides some clarity :)
