“Well you were up and out early this morning.”
“Yeah. I went to the gym for a workout. How did you sleep?”
“Great. I love the Select Comfort mattress on the bed in the guestroom. I found my perfect sleep number and dosed off pretty quickly. I didn’t even finish watching the movie.”
“Sorry I abandoned you. I just had a lot on my mind and I needed to talk to my sister.”
“It’s fine Bette. I told you I didn’t want to impose. We had a very nice evening together and like I said I was pretty tired anyway. How’s your sister doing?”
“She’s great. She’s ready to retire and move to Los Angeles by the end of the year.”
“It’s nice that she’ll be living closer. I can’t wait to meet her.”
“Yeah I’m sure she’d love meeting you too.”
“Did you work things out in your mind or are you still troubled?”
“Not so much troubled. I just had a lot of unexpected developments in my personal and career life in the past couple of days. I’m just sorting things out in my mind and trying to make the right choices for myself and everyone involved.”
“I don’t mean to pry but I’m a good listener if you want to talk.”
“Thank you Tina, but I’m not ready to talk about it just yet.”
“OK. I’ll be here if you change your mind.”
“Thank you.”
“By the way thank you for getting breakfast and suggesting we eat up here. It’s a beautiful morning. The weather is just perfect for dining al fresco.”
“You’re welcome. What do you have planned for today?”
“Nothing special. I just thought maybe I would do some sightseeing and shopping. What about you?”
“I don’t have anything planned until later this afternoon. I’m having lunch with Peggy, Marcus and his girlfriend Francesca. If you feel up to it we can take a drive this morning. There is this really great outlet mall about an hour north of the city. I usually try to get out there whenever I come to New York.”
“That sounds wonderful. Do we need to call David to drive us?”
“No. I keep a car in the garage here.”
“OK let’s do it. When do you want to leave?”

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!
