“I’m sure we could use it but I think with you it’s personal. She said something about unfinished business. Care to share?”
***
Prior to the second and final breakup there was just one other situation in Bette and Tina’s relationship where Bette was tempted and it was her encounter with Senator Barbara Grisham. Angelica was a few months old, Bette was the stay at home mom but she was working with Julia on several passion projects that had garnered political attention. Julia hurt her back in a skiing accident and at the last minute Bette was asked to stand in for her at a senate hearing in Washington DC.
The hearing ended in a spectacle with Senator Horsey grandstanding. Bette took him on and made him look like a fool which impressed Barbara but Bette’s passion wasn’t the only attraction. She invited Bette to a private cocktail party which gave Bette the opportunity to meet with some like-minded supporters to sway the vote.
After the party the Senator suggested Bette come home with her to see her art collection of abstract expressionism. The senator was used to getting her way. Bette was indebted to her and had a hard time resisting. In the apartment once they’d viewed the art the senator poured drinks from an expensive bottle of scotch and put the moves on Bette.
Senator Barbara Grisham was a beautiful, sexy, accomplished, and powerful woman but the thing that made Bette weak was just how much she wanted her. Not since Candace had anyone shown such unadulterated sexual desire for her; especially not her girlfriend. Although they’d been back together for months Tina didn’t want sex with her. She blamed it on the pregnancy, and her body image, and being tired but the bottom line was that she had no interest. It fed Bette’s ego and her self-esteem to have Barbara interested in her and it took every inch of willpower to walk away from that. Not that it was honorable because her fidelity was implicit but at least she showed restraint out of respect for her relationship with Tina. She even went so far as to call Tina from the senator’s bathroom to ask if she cared. Tina took it as Bette asking permission to fuck the senator. Bette was defeated; her pathetic plea went unanswered and Tina’s non-response was a foreshadowing of things to come.

Hmmm….Bette and the Senator? I like Bette with Leigh much better!! Great story..as always. Thank you!
Glad Bette is getting the attention she deserves.
Love the continuation! It is nice that Bette is so happy with most of her life. Maybe soon, all of it. Thanks for posting!
Ok, Leigh or Barbra would be good choices if you insist on it not being Tina. However I will not give up hope. As kit said, those two belong together.
Thanks! I want Bette with Tina also! I’m keeping the faith!
great chapter hm im not to sure I like bette with Barbara but im so pleased shes getting on with her life pps.
I really dont get why this wont be a tibette story especially when it’s obvious that still belong together in the story but its nice to read a lil difference in a story and trust me.you making sure all hope is lost, smh love it anyways, i want to see more angie and bette nights that would be awesome
Excellent story and your writing is outstanding. I always liked the Senator and even Leigh w/Bette. Either one would be a far better partner for her than Jodie, IMO. Of course, Tina was always my fave.
Like the Senator very much and certainly more than Jodie but I, and I think Bette, need Tina back in there!! Can’t you consider her at least being around so she can see what she is missing and show Bette that she is really the ‘love of her life’? I live in hope!
I feel like we are getting to the best part of the story here, haha. Hmmm, tough choice for Bette, huh, with all those women coming out, lol! I would be happy with whoever you choose for Bette (well, anyone but Tina). But, to be honest, I can’t see Bette with an older woman in this story (I always had an impression Barbara was older then Bette). Leigh, on the other hand – I am intrigued. What is her deal? Would be kinda romantic if she carried a torch for Bette all these years, lol.
I’m like the others: I really want to be with at the end of Tibette. It was always hard for me to imagine Tibette story, so that they are not together and live happily. I am glad that Bette begins to live his life. the senator is still better than Jodie (anyone but Jodie is not in the story!)
I loved it as always, but I hope at the end of Tina and Bette will be together.
My dear friend, I’m loving this story. We all have our baggage to deal with and Bette had opened hers up. Tina still carries a steamer trunk. I hope that she allows Angie to maintain a strong connection to Bette and her little brother. I can’t see Tina really being a part of that scene as she’s too angry about her life and how she’s created it. We all make choices and decisions and Bette has made better ones than Tina has so her life is sitting in a much better place. Tina needs a bit of therapy to let go of her anchors to her past so that she can move on and be happy. I’m happy that Bette is able to move forward with her life with Angie, the baby, Kit and her extended family. I only wish the best for Tina in this story.
Thank you my friend for your brilliance in writing amazing stories! I so enjoy them!
great story like to reed moore!!!
