Tina checked her watch, trying to decide if 10:30 at night was too late to call Bette. Three days had passed since their conversation about co-habitation, and Tina was finally putting an end to her circuitous evaluation process. It was exhausting to keep turning the pros and cons over and over in her mind, her judgment shifting like sand in a hurricane. Enough was enough, and for better or worse, her decision was made.
Alice’s rah-rah feedback the other day hadn’t really been a surprise to Tina-after all, Alice had been nudging, pushing, and shoving Tina toward Bette for months now. Well, maybe shoving wasn’t exactly fair. But at the very least, Alice was a vocal and persistent advocate for the two of them to re-establish contact, if not for themselves, then for the people who loved them both. Only two weeks ago, they’d had the same old conversation while driving back from the movies.
“It’s always hardest on the kids,” Alice whined. “You’re both off doingwhatever and whoever it is you’re doing, and we’re crying in our corn flakes because mommy and mommy don’t get along any more.”
“Yeah, well divorce happens in the best families,” Tina said flatly. “It’s a fact of life and you’re going to have to get used to it.”
“You two have a ***** load of financial stuff to work out yet, not to mention joint custody of three very troubled children-wouldn’t it be easier to deal with all of that if you were on better terms? Think about it. Would it kill you to just have a conversation with her?”
Alice swore up and down that she was only talking about rebuilding a friendship. But Tina knew better. Right behind “friendship” on Alice’s agenda was “romance,” quickly followed by “happily ever after.” And no matter how much Alice schemed and meddled, that was never going to happen.
“Alice, do you remember why we’re in this situation? I wasn’t the one who”
“T, I know,” Alice interrupted. “I’m not saying that she deserves your mercy, or your pity, or your understanding. I’m saying you should talk. Have some lunch. Maybe take a walk. Don’t you even miss her a little?”
Her tone was cajoling, but Alice’s words cut to the core. Tina’s throat tightened and she bit her lip, trying to stop the hot tears that welled up and spilled down her cheeks.

Lovin this story. Baby steps are good, but not too slow. I agree with the other, seeing Bette naked even if only a glimpse could be just too much for Ms. Kenard to bare. I’d like to see Bette play the game just a bit. Even though its mostly her fault, Tina has all the rules/conditions, so she needs to sweat just a litte, then maybe they can sweat together, ooooooooooooooooh that would be so good.
that room mate thing will be interesting..lol..lets see who will fall first..great chapter FFC post soon!!!
On some level, they are both kidding themselves that they can simply be just roommates. It’s going to prove interesting the first time one of them either ventures outside of the boundries or comes too close for comfort to the the edge.
I think Bette thinks that if she can just get Tina in the house, around her again, that she will be able to win Tina back. That may be true, but the path to forgiveness will be a rough one.
Tina on the other hand, seems like she has it set in her mind that it’s only temporary for financial reasons. But I do think that there is a part of her that wants Bette again. She says that she doesn’t think she will ever be able to trust Bette again? Well, you won’t know unless you try. Here’s to trying!
I love this, “It’s always hardest on the kids,” Alice whined. “You’re both off doing…whatever and whoever it is you’re doing, and we’re crying in our corn flakes because mommy and mommy don’t get along any more.” So funny and so Alice.
TMI Is it the thrill of not gettting caught. It is pretty freaky
Can I just tell you how happy I am that you decided to repost this story? To share your wonderful words and writing style with us. Sigh. So lovely, so nice and so wonderful knowing that tomorrow will bring another chapter. Thanks again.
I disagree with slipperynipple, I would like to see Bett get jealous. I hope that Tina continues her relationshop with Helena and that eventually, she turns to Bette, but not for some time…
Hmmm lets see if Tina is strong enough to keep her hands out of the cookie jar that’s Bette at this point.. Please I’m begging throw a few naked Bette scenes in the mix, a few situations where Tina gets all jealous and this story would make my day….
baby steps is always good rite.. ? :) my evenin ritual to read this. hee~
yea they are on their way to getting back together. great chapter.
This story has become my morning ritual. Your writing style is so smooth – such a pleasure to read.
I couldn´t help but laugh at slipperynipples comment because my thought were the same. Wonderful update FFC.
I don’t know about this. In theory it’s good but I’m not so sure how the reality is gonna play out. How do you go from living has a married couple to living like roomates? Your soon to be ex-wife is pregnant and about to board an emotion-filled roller coaster. The lines of ‘just roomates’ and ‘expecting couple’ are gonna get blurred and crossed often. Plus what is the real focus for either? One is thinking temporary and the other is thinking permanent. There’s alot of heartache in store b/c I don’t think they’re starting off from a common ground.
JKS you took the words right out of my mouth. i look forward to this each morning knowing i wont be disappointed. The writing seems so effortless thanks again for reposting.
I am right up there with Slippery. Let’s make this a tad bit difficult for Tina, but in a fun sexy sly kinda way.
We all know that seeing Bette naked, even if only for a millisecond, always brings Tina to her knees.
Cant wait to see how all of this gets played out…
Great chapter FF
