Consequences
“Do you have anything to say? Or are you just going to stand there?”
Bette sighed and rubbed her eyes, then leaned forward on the counter on her elbows. “This wasn’t supposed to happen,” she murmured, covering her face with her hands. “The police getting involved…”
“Bette…” Tina came around the other side of the counter and put an arm around Bette’s shoulders. Bette stood up straight, and Tina could see she was nearly crying. “What is all this about? Tell me.”
Bette shook her head no.
“Are you thinking that it’s your fault this happened? It’s not, babe. Was it a bad connection or something? I couldn’t hear you.”
“Oh, T. I’m so sorry.” Tina could see Bette’s eyes filling up with tears.
“Come on,” Tina said. She took Bette by the arm and Tina led her into the living room, sat down on the couch, and pulled Bette by the hand to sit down next to her. Tina took a Kleenex from the end table and handed it to Bette, who dabbed at her eyes with it and avoided meeting Tina’s gaze.
“You don’t have to feel bad, Bette. You did nothing wrong. It was the call itself that made me uneasy enough to lock the door. I’m glad I did,” Tina said. “Who knows what might have happened otherwise.”
“Tina, you don’t understand. There’s something I… something I need to tell you, but I don’t know how. I don’t know if I can,” Bette said. Her halting voice and the sadness etched on her face made Tina’s heart clench with sympathy.
“Whatever it is, Bette, you can tell me. We’re in this together.” Tina sought Bette’s hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. She couldn’t fathom what could have made Bette so upset. Unless…Tina had a strong feeling she wasn’t going to like the answer to this question, but for the second time that day, instinct prodded her on and she asked anyway. “Do you know who came into the house today?”
Bette nodded.
Tina drew a deep breath. “Did you… know they were coming?”
There was a pause before Bette spoke. “Not until they were almost here. That’s why I called… I was going to tell you but I didn’t know how. It was too late.”

Wow that was good, but I don’t think that’s the end, right?
Loved this can’t believe it ended there though… We want more!!!
Enjoyed it, thanks
the end?? noooo lets see what happens please.!!!
Great end!!!!
Another sad story.
That was very well done, and I hope it is truly NOT the end. More please. I hated that episode in their lives and the cowardly way Bette handled it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for another very well written story. Reading Tina’s experience was very suspenseful and you really captured me as an audience. In both your stories I have been disappointed in the Bette character because I hope she would not be so cold and heartless to the people she loves most in her life. She made mistakes but I don’t think she was ever that calculating in purposely hurting anyone. I’d rather that Tina found out the way she did at Provocations than to think Bette would send Candace to her house, give her the alarm code and purposely scare her pregnant wife half to death with a home invasion just to cover the affair. That was so cruel, and it also gives more importance to Bette’s affair than just sex with Candace. Spending time and taking pictures meant they had a relationship, and it also showed Bette’s callous disregard for Tina so in that case I agree with the way you ended it. Tina should leave her, never tell her about the baby and go on with her life.
oh wow…why did you end it? please give us more…
The End? I don’t think so…
Excellent. Thank you.
I take that you not a bette fan lol,you made her out to be cruel and viscious in both your stories…good twist though
