Coming up for air – part eighteen
It suddenly dawned on Bette how that seemed to have been her survival strategy for years. She had blocked out failing to connect with Tina, she blocked out the loss of her son, she blocked out Candace, she blocked out losing Tina, and finally she blocked out how she herself was falling apart with a bottle of red wine in her hand. Up until five weeks ago, she had done nothing but try to forget. She knew right then and there, she needed to talk to Tina about all of this. There would be no hiding from now on. Bette realized that her newfound courage to confront things was working. She wasn’t going to stray from that from now on. Maybe then another catastrophe, like sleeping with Candace, could be prevented.
Another thing that had to be discussed before Bette could take the last step towards reconnecting with Tina was what happened between them after the opening of Provocations.
Bette winced at the thought of how they had abused each other that night. Tina had hit her, slapped her across the face, and later she had bitten Bette. At the time she felt like she deserved it. She wanted Tina to hurt her, to violate her like she had violated Tina. They had sex sort of… mad, angry, painful sex. Bette would never have guessed they were capable of hurting each other that way. There had never been physical violence between them before. There had, however, been angry sex before. A few times them fighting had exploded into crazy amazing sex. Bette smiled when she recalled one time in particular…

It was the 31st of December back when Bette and Tina had been together for about four years. Bette was in Florence, working to secure a new show for the CAC where she’d just started working. She had left LA early in the morning on the 26th, cutting the Christmas celebration short. Tina had been seriously pissed about Bette’s trip. Tina loved Christmas and made a great deal of getting their friends and family together. She slaved in the kitchen for days, always sporting a big smile, loving every second of the holidays. Bette had promised to be home before New Year’s Eve. The look in Tina’s eyes when Bette tried to kiss her goodbye had haunted Bette every day. She looked so disappointed, so lonely, standing on the porch, reluctantly waving goodbye as Bette drove away.

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!
