courage to change chapter five
Tina awoke to her phone ringing. After waking up earlier that day, she managed to fall back into a deep slumber and sleep off her hangover. The last time she drank like that had to be a good ten years ago.
“Hello?”, Tina answered the phone.
“Hey Tina, its me. How you feeling today?”, Helena said. She knew the response was probably going to be the typical hangover answer, but still wanted a good segue to ask about what happened after she left the bar.
“I’m alright. Little headache, but nothing a good sleep won’t cure. What happened last night Helena?” Tina replied.
“Haha, that is exactly what I am calling to ask you!”, Helena laughed. “After you left the bar, I tried to call and text you a few times. I’m glad you made it back to your place”.
“What?!?”, Tina shouted. “I left the bar without you? What are you talking about!!! I can’t really remember too much. The last thing I remember was talking with you and your friends.”
“Yea, I noticed you were quite drunk”, Helena stated. “I don’t think I have ever seen you drink like that…what gives?”
Tina knew that her drinking binge was the result of her frustration with her life as well as the need to feel comfortable in the bar. She had made the conscious decision to drink until she was drunk, fully aware of her abuse of alcohol to escape her problems. But she was not ready to admit that to Helena.
“Oh, it was nothing. I guess I got carried away”, Tina said. “So I left the bar huh? What time? Who was I with? How did I get home?”
“Whoa… I can’t help you there sweetheart. Last time I saw you it was around 2am and you were taking shots of tequila at the bar with Bette”
“Bette!”, Tina shouted. “As in Bette Porter Art Gallery?”
“Yes Tina”, Helena replied somewhat impatiently. “Bette owns her own art gallery. You two seemed to really hit it off and if I didn’t know you were straight I would have thought you were flirting with her.”
“What?!?”, Tina said. She suddenly recalled feelings of excitement, nervousness, and yes, flirtatiousness from last night. She remembered the unique smell of perfume, the taste of someone’s skin, and the feel of someone’s hand on her hip. It was as if these memories came back in a flash…but no images to match the sensations or emotions felt.

body shots… and why didn’t you write more of that… maybe we can go back in bette’s mind and see what really happened… what do you say…
How can someone be too good for Bette. How DARE she think that way. Bette, Eric is a blip on the screen. Breathe and relax and go after La Tina.
They both seem unhappy with their lot. Bette’s pretty down on herself, but maybe, if she sees that Tina *wants* to spend time with her, that will change. Maybe the meeting later in the week, sober, will be the start of the better things they’re both craving. Nice chapter, ny. Thanks :)
Um, body shots Bette? That is the only personality trait required for dating, hello lol. You’re doing great, thanks for the post.
Oh wow! The night they has sounds dman interesting. :) Love this story and can’t wait to see what happens.
Really enjoying this story
i hope at least bette and tina start hanging out and who know what will happen
Wow, seems as though Bette is thinking that she is her reputation. When you are that down on yourself, that’s really bad. Her thinking that Tina is “too good for her,” is crap. Bette may have been a lothario in the past but all that is about to change and she has to recognize her own self worth. She has already realized that she doesn’t want to treat Tina like all the other women she has dated. She wants something more with Tina and that alone says she is thinking she must change her M.O. when it comes to Tina and seeing her more. This is a good story but we need more details, details. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the post. So…..Bette decided to try to seduce Tina and it didn’t work. She’s probably the first woman who had that reaction and it has Bette shaken up. I love it. Tina is just what she needs to get her to stop her self destructive behavior and begin really living. Please post again soon.
