Cheating Defined
“What?” Bette asked. “Really, you think that kissing’s cheating?”
Tina leaned back against the sofa and crossed her arms against her chest, saying nothing as she studied her ex-wife.
“Ok, Bette” she said, no trace of humor present. “We’re gonna get one thing straight and it is going to be clear as fucking crystal for you, got it?”
Bette remained quiet, knowing when not to speak.
“I have no idea of the fucked up arrangement that you and Jodi had worked out, and honestly, could give a shit. But” she said, looking Bette directly in the eyes, ensuring that she had her attention, “if, and or when, there is anything between the two of us” she paused, pointing her finger at first herself and then Bette, “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!” she exclaimed with anger.
“Do I make myself 100% clear?” she asked, finally taking a breath.
“Crystal” Bette answered quietly, suddenly fascinated by her most recent manicure.
Neither woman said a word, Tina merely watching Bette study her hands.
After finally finding her voice again, Bette raised her eyes and looked at Tina.
“So” she began, “where does this leave us?”
Reaching for her wine glass, Tina took a long sip and after placing it back on the table, looked at Bette and said, “I would guess a lot of that depends on where you would like for it to leave us.”
“Tina, what I said to you in that elevator last week…” she said, looking around the room, collecting her thoughts. “I meant it,” she continued. “You” she said as she reached for Tina’s hand, “you’re my home, you’re my safety and” pausing again, she took a deep breath, “you’re my life, without you, I don’t have one” she said as she felt her emotions beginning to take hold of her voice.
Grasping Bette’s hand tightly as she heard her words, Tina felt a tear rolling down her cheek. She knew that this is what she’d longed to hear from Bette, had wanted to hear for so long, before they even broke up. Bette used to say things like this to her all of the time and when she stopped, she didn’t even to think to question why.

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!
