Coming up for air – part eighteen
Coming up for air – part eighteen (the new years edition)
Bette tried to stretch out her legs. Thank God for being able to fly first class, she thought to herself. She had been in the air for six hours already. She hated sitting down for so long, but the physical passiveness did give her time to think.
Bette felt more hopeful and at ease than she had done in an awful long time. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Tina. She replayed every one of their conversations in her mind. She’d memorized every word, every expression of Tina’s. When Tina had told her that she was afraid they were going to move backwards instead of forwards together, Bette hadn’t explained how she carried that fear too.
Bette still couldn’t quite understand how her affair with Candace happened. And as long as she couldn’t explain it, how could she prevent it from happening again? She felt sick just thinking about it. She felt sick about how she had let Candace touch her, and how she had touched Candace. Bette had spent ten months trying to erase the images of Candace. Even when it was happening, when Candace had fucked her at the motel and later in her office, Bette had suppressed part of herself. It wasn’t about love. That part of Bette had always been reserved for Tina. It was about needing to feel wanted. It was about release.
After the night of provocations Bette had been with Candace three times. She was lost at that point. Even when she was having sex with Candace, she was telling herself not to think, not to feel. She told herself over and over. Don’t think. Don’t feel. The words were all she heard as Candace ran her hands over her body and her mouth searched for Bette’s, as she pleaded for her to open her eyes.
Bette pressed her fist into her chest to take her focus off the sickening feeling in her stomach. As horrible as the affair with Candace was, as horrible as it remained, still she came back for more. A sob escaped Bette’s lips as she turned her face towards the window to get some sense of privacy on the crowded airplane. “I’m sorry, baby… I’m so, so sorry,” Bette whispered to herself, wishing she could somehow explain to herself how she could have sunk so deep.

Trust me, I loved London! It did help that Laurel was there when I was in town though – oh wait, that is the reason I was there! ;o) I love this story – thanks for sharing!
WOW WOMEN! MEMORIES YOUVE GOT TO LOVE THEM.AND NC-17 WAS VERY HOT-HOT-HOT. NO WORRIES ABOUT THE WRITING.SORRY FOR THE HANGOVER BUTT IM SURE IT WAS WORTH IF LAST NITE.P.P.S.
Alpha Bette is soooo hot, that sex scene was the bomb! You keep writing and I will keep reading, deal?
incredible chapter! what a good gift for new year! thanks for it. i hope you enojoyed so much your hollidays! take care
Great chapter. Is English really not your first language? You’re so good at it! Thanks and Happy New Year
WOW anker, for your first NC-17 that was really HOT! I am sure having your woman home maybe helped you just a little bit with that scene. LOL!! So tell her thanks from one of your greatful readers. Hope 2007 is all you want it to be.
YOUR FIRST TIME HUH??? you coulda fooled me!!! lmfao….I can’t remember why B’s in London???…short term memory loss…so I guess I better go backwards…love the story, you write so well, so much detail, a mix of humour, angst, love…you got it girl!!!! PP as soon as u can…
As Rau wrote…you got it all, girl. Your English skills are excellent regardless that it isn’t your first language. The scene was sexy but you have a good way of explaining their emotions and feelings with nice detail. The complexity is good. PPS.
Well Happy New Years to you too. That is a heck of a way to bring in the new year. I would never have guessed that English is not your orginal language. You write it so well. I love how you portray Bette and Tina and how they are trying to reconnect and remember the good times also. I seem to always be behind in reading. Not sure why but I am also a couple steps behind, sorry.
Well that was one hot and steamy flashback. I feel bad that Bette is having all of thos self doubt. She doesn’t know why she cheated w/ Candace the first time around so she doesn’t know if she can stop it from happening again. I think that b/c Bette and Tina are communicating a lot better this time around they won’t end up cheating on one another. I think the first time around Bette cheated b/c her marriage was already on the rocks and Canadce was basically stalking her and every move she made and Bette’s defenses were just worn down. I hope Bette and Tina make it this time. Post soon.
Damn thats hot and awesome!
WOW! That New Year’s scene was very hot. It’s amazing how we can be so angry with someone we love and still so attracted to them ? That boggles my mind. The line between love and hate is thin….please keep them on the love side, anker. I’m a tibette addict and this story is so good for my mind. PPS.
What a way to start the New Year…I LOVED this chapter. There is so much love there it’s amazing. I know Tina loves Mikey but she needs her own family…I think it would be wonderful if Bette could give her that. Thanks for posting.
A thoroughly enjoyable chapter! Thanks for writing! Happy New Year!

I thought at first that the trip was over and Bette was on the flight back to L.A. At least she had some time to come to a few realisations, and to have a good — no, hot — trip down memory lane. Thanks for posting so soon, and Happy New Year!
