“Love you too dear. Be careful.”
“I will.”
***
Bette, Tina, Dylan and Winnie enjoy a wonderful dinner followed by the theatre. The show had gotten rave reviews and it was deserving of them. Afterwards they decided to go to a quiet jazz bar to talk and have drinks. They just wanted to relax and enjoy each other’s company for a bit longer.
They four gorgeous women were turning heads everywhere they went that evening. When Winnie and Tina excused themselves to use the ladies room both men and women followed them with their eyes. As soon as they were out of earshot Dylan began interrogating Bette.
“So what’s the story with you and Tina?
“There is no story D she’s a friend. She introduced me to our next emerging artist. They happen to be best friends and housemates so we’ve spent a lot of time together and we’ve gotten close.”
“Yeah so close that you took her shopping at the outlet mall instead of me.”
“She told you?”
“Well she was wearing something that she purchased there and I asked her about it. She couldn’t deny it.”
“Sorry. I would have called you but we decided to go on the spur of the moment. I had a few hours free this morning before my lunch with Peggy, Marcus and his girlfriend.”
“So what’s going on with Marcus? He seemed a little distant the other night. He said he was just distracted with work but I think there was more to it.”
“You’ll need to talk to him about it. I can’t break his confidence.”
“OK then let’s get back to you and Tina. I think there could be more between you too. Why are you both fighting it? I’ve noticed you letting your guard down every now and then. It’s so obvious.”
“We don’t deny that there is an attraction D we are just in different places in our lives right now. She’s in an open relationship with a man; she’s got this huge undertaking as head of a mega movie studio and besides all that she’s not looking for commitment right now. As for me I’m taking on this big project with Peggy and likely will be bi-coastal for a few months out of the year. Even if we both wanted it, how could we sustain a new relationship with the distance and so much going on in our lives?”

I love it. Now if Peggy agrees I can see Bette and Tina moving forward and start dating…..Question is how will she react to Bettes little family expansion……
Thank you for posting. Wonderful chapter. Pps
Moving along nicely but even if Bette and Tina are going to be in the same zip code nothing will come out of it right away…But this will at least give them a chance to connect more….Wonderful Chapter BAT2012!
Pie_Fair thank you for reading and commenting. I am enjoying your stories very much. I just wanted to reply to your statement that ‘nothing will come out of it right away’ even though Bette and Tina will be in the same zip code. Although Bette and Tina will be pursuing their own paths they are still progressing their friendship and building the foundation for the eventual relationship. Can’t promise they won’t have their ups and downs but if it’s worth having they will put in the work to make it happen.
And thank you for reading!..Very much appreciated..I do really love your story and see that Bette and Tina will progress slowly but I also like how you are writing Bette in this…Love the softer side of her and I am curious how she deals with the the assault that Jodi inflicted upon her as we haven’t seen that yet as the story advanced 2 years…I’m sure that might become an issue as she progresses into a relationship with Tina…Curious as to how and if you present that..But I’m along for the ride!..Thanks again BAT2012!
Bette’s assault by Jodi does come into play later in the story but not as a hindrance to having a healthy romantic/sexual relationship with Tina. Her therapy with Emma right after the attack and in the ensuing years has helped her to work through the emotional trauma.
I don’t want to give too much away (for those who haven’t read the story before) but Jodi’s psychosis will be the focus of the assault storyline when I pick it up again. I’m glad that you like my Bette. This is how I’ve always seen Bette and I usually write her with a lot of heart.
In order for this Bette and Tina coupling to work, Tina has to modify her life plans. At this point, she is physically attracted to Bette but nothing has occurred so right now it all seems so sterile, no panting, no sweating, no carnal desires have been revealed. Seems too much like an arrangement, all very platonic and business like. Looking forward to the next chapter.
azmama thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate your insights. Unfortunately my style of writing Bette and Tina even in a romantic story (which this one is not) does not lend to panting, sweating and carnal desires except of course during the act. Sorry if the relationship feels too intellectual or like an arrangement – not sure how else a platonic relationship should be portrayed. I said this wasn’t typical TiBette – and to me that means they can be together in the same room without being naked. However if you stick with the story there is a conversation between Bette and Tina that talks to the ‘lack of passion’.
My view when including sex in a story agrees with something Peggy said at the end of season 5 talking about Bette and Tina and Helena and Leigh Ostin playing musical partners: “… all that fu**king with no art is really rather dreary.” I hope my stories offer enough of a plot line that the sex is significant when it happens.
Who is she calling? Tina I hope
Another great chapter. Love this story. Congratulations!
