Cheating Defined
Opening her eyes, Bette lifted her head and merely looked at the door, not moving to open it.
The knock was repeated and Bette slowly rose while muttering, “This can’t be good.”
Opening the door, she offered a slight smile to Tina who was standing there, arms crossed in front of her body.
“Wasn’t sure if you were going to open it or not” she said as she placed her set of keys to the house back in her bag.
“Would you like to come in?” Bette asked as she stepped aside for Tina to enter.
“Unless you’d prefer to have this conversation here on the porch,” she said as she walked by Bette, all humor absent.
“Ok” said Bette as she slowly closed the door behind Tina.
Noticing Tina looking at her glass of wine she said, “Can I get you one?”
“Please” she answered, putting her bag down as she made herself comfortable on the sofa.
Bette made her way to the kitchen, taking her time pouring the wine in order to collect her thoughts for what she assumed was not going to be a pleasant conversation.
Tina sat on the sofa, watching Bette slowly pour the wine, knowing that she was mentally preparing herself for this discussion. Tina had to smile at the predictability of her ex-wife.
“You gonna stay in there all night?” she finally asked, watching as Bette quickly placed the bottle back on the counter and returned to the living room.
“Sorry” Bette responded meekly as she took her place on the sofa after handing Tina the wine.
“How’s Angie?” she asked.
“Good” Bette responded enthusiastically. “Exhausted actually. You’d think that she had been on that ride as well” she smiled.
Taking a deep breath, Tina looked at Bette and asked, “How was your ride today? We didn’t actually talk so I wouldn’t know how it went.”
Reading between the lines, Bette knew that Tina was upset with their lack of communication since last night, especially given how the night had gone.
“Look Tina” she began, “I’m sorry for not checking in with you today, but I didn’t really know what to say, or what you’d want to hear for that matter.”

Amazing as always….SO HAPPY to see another chapter!
oh wow!!!! perfect!!!! Plz keep writing & posting because it’s such a pleasure to read, you leave me smiling with a happy tummy!!!!!!
You’re back :) Beautifully written, as always. Thanks!
That was a terrific story. I could actually visualize this scene unfolding in the current season. Very well written. Looking forward to your next story.
i can see the whole scene playing out like this that if they did a follow up after ride…excellent! :)
Damn, I loved that. So hopeful..and happy. Plus, your Bette is much more decisive than the wishy washy IC version. I dig it.
Very cool indeed.I hate when they don’t fill in the blanks.
dayum skippy skippy!! that was great as always. thx for the time.
Amazing plot, beautiful writing, and add a talented author in the mix..equals a recipe for a brilliant story. Keep them coming Skip! I really miss your stories.
“”kissing is cheating! Touching another woman is cheating! Fucking another woman is cheating! Looking at another woman that you’d like to fuck is cheating!” ~ LMAO! I so want Tina on the show to tell Bette what’s what in no uncertain terms, just like she did in your story!Bette’s actions/dialogue here seem so consistent with the Bette we’re seeing on the show … well done!
I’m wondering if you have been taking some sort of advanced tibette fanfic writing course whilst abscent because you are on a roll.PPS :-)
So glad you’re back, I love your stories!
So glad you are back. This should really happen,yet Jodie will fight because she thinks Bette will back down and become the one without a backbone. thanks
I so love a fiesty T, makes my heart pitter, patter. Great Chapter
So glad you’re back and thanks for the awesome post.
Yep, 100%, fvcking crystal clear on what constitutes cheating. Somebody give a copy of this chapter to Ms Chaiken who was made Bette into a huge ball of confusion and contradiction this season. And yeah, great advice from Tina when Bette confronts Jodi on their breakup again: BE DECISIVE. Ms Chaiken should have heeded this advice for episode 5.11. Anyway, enough of ranting, this is really a great one-off chapter, Skipton! The Skipton of the “6 Months” fame. You know, I read that story from start to finish and copied all 90 plus chapters of it for easier re-reading. Great piece of writing! That story written 2-3 years ago still resonates today. Glad to know you’re writing again. Hope you’ll find the time and the inspiration to indulge us, your readers with your stories, more often. Thank you, Skipton, and PPS! :)
Thanks for the update. Things are looking real good.
I like your continuation of the scenes left out by ic. I hope that you will continue with them even after the show has ended for the season.
always a pleasure to read your stories!!!
Really nice!
that so freaking good! great chapter skip.
beautiful and sweet. thanks for posting.
Oh yeah Tina laid down the law. Glad to see Tina asserting herself and Bette telling Tina how she feels. Magnificent chapter!
This was great! I always get excited when I see your name beside a story title! She’s back!!! PPS
Love assertive Tina. Great filler. I said I would go back and read your other stories. I’m on ch.32 of 6 months, love it.
WOW!!!! So Great!!!!! I am so loving this. I wish this would happen on the show. Thank you Skipton PPVS
Thanks! Now how awesome would that be if we actually get to watch this scene on our screen? Please post soon!
Wait, they’re being decisive and clear. What?
Oh I love it! I’m so thankful for your burst of inspiration that have given us these new stories to enjoy.
That was great!
