    Close Encounters

    ***

    She heard the elevator make its ascent and stop on Julia’s floor. She held her breath anticipating Barbara’s entry through the doorway and when the hot redhead made an appearance she to remind herself to breathe.

    “Bette Porter.”

    Barbara looked even more amazing than Bette remembered. During their one meeting like Bette Barbara was dressed in a black conservative business suit with a skirt, Bette was wearing slacks. Today Barbara was dressed casually in a sun dress. Wearing little makeup, her natural red hair flowing past her shoulders, and her hazel brown eyes sparkling as she smiled mischievously into Bette’s eyes. They met in the middle of the room and embraced each other in a tight hug; Bette placed a lingering kiss on Barbara’s cheek. They looked into each other’s eyes and smiled at the memory of the last time they were this close.

    ***

    Bette opened the bathroom door to find Barbara on the other side holding her glass of scotch that she’d left in the living room.

    “I thought you could use some encouragement.” Bette took the glass and sipped the strong burning liquid.

    “I’m sorry. I really don’t need any encouragement. You … you are an exquisite woman. And the only thing that I want more than you right now is for my girlfriend to want me like you do.”

    ***

    “It’s great to see you Barbara. You look amazing. You haven’t changed a bit.”

    “I’ve mellowed some and got rid of the extra baggage in my life; no more arrangements.” Barbara put up her ring finger where she’d worn a wedding band. She was married to a man when they met but she and her husband had an arrangement or to put it another way, an open marriage. What about you?”

    “Didn’t you google me?” Bette smirked.

    “Touché. It was quite a read but apparently I didn’t get the full story. How far along are you?”

    “Six and a half months.

    ”What happened to the power of the lesbian phone tree?”

    “She didn’t tell her friend Alice.” Bette laughed at Julia’s jibe but it was true. She didn’t care much for Alice but she was a good friend to have if you wanted to get the word out.

    “I kept it private. I wasn’t showing much so it was easy to conceal. I just told everyone in the past couple of weeks.”

    1. 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.

    2. 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

    3. 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.

    4. 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!

    5. 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.

    6. 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.

    7. 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!
