DENIAL
It was three days after her conversation with Helena in her office, and five days after her argument with Bette. Tina hadn’t heard from either of them since. She had, had lunch with Shane yesterday and had avoided any conversation about Bette. But Shane had intentionally made it slip that Bette was in New York on business.
For days, Tina had adroitly avoided any conversations about Bette when she was around her friends, but that didn’t stop her from missing her and thinking about her. Bette stalked her at day and haunted her at nights. Tina ached for her caresses, but more than that she wanted to be again the woman she was with Bette. Happy and witty.___ Whoever said it was better to have loved and lost was so wrong. ___Now she knew what she was missing, and the misery of doing without Bette was almost too much to bear.
She was angry with Bette for leaving to go to New York without saying good-bye, And she was angry with herself for caring. How long was she gone for? Was she miserable? What possible business could she have in New York that was so sudden? Was she even on business? Was she with Kelly? All these speculation was driving Tina crazy.
***
The telephone was ringing when Tina let herself into her home. “Hello?”
“Tina, hi, baby”
It was her mom. “Hello”
“Where have you been all week? You haven’t been answering your phone. Your dad and I were worried about you. Your dad hasn’t heard from Henry either. Is everything okay? When is he coming home?
The automatic response of “i don’t want to get into it” died in her throat. She had forgotten that her parents knew nothing about Henry’s infidelity, and now wasn’t the time to get into it. All they knew was that Henry was on vacation, better to keep it that way until she sorted out how to tell them. “I’ve been busy at work Mom .I have a big project working on that keeps me busy.”
“Too busy to call your parents?”
“Mom, I have been tired”
“How’s your sex life?”
“mom!”
“I’m sorry. I was meddling, but I know there’s something wrong in your marriage. I haven’t said anything to your dad, but I hope you know that you can talk to me. You work too hard. I think you should play more. Go out with your friends, drink some wine, dance. You need a close girl-friend.”

hmmm does seem like Bette is doing all the chasing…so ball is in Tina’s court now..
Oh, foxy, thanks for a great post. After Bette said, “The next time, if there is one, you’ll have to come to me.”, will Tina go after Bette??????
I know that Bette’s done a lot of the chasing, but she can’t blame Tina for being scared. I think that might a been a miscalculation by our Ms. Porter. Tina could easily be too terrified to keep fighting for them if she doesn’t have a reminder of how happy Bette can make her. After all, her last memory of the relationship would be that this woman wasn’t truthful all along, from the start by getting her the job and in the end by not telling her about Kelly. But they’re meant to be, so maybe Tina will step up. Thanks, foxylady! PPS
I like Bette’s stand on this. The ball is in Tina’s court. PPS
Oh No! Come on Tina – you know what you want go get Bette. Sigh! The ball’s in your court now! Great update. Thank you for this story :)
Nooooooooo! Run to Bette Tina, run to her now!!!
Dang it, someone please shake Tina or even Bette for that matter. Tina loves Bette but Bette may have just iced their relationship for good. I hope that Tina has the resolve to let Bette back into her life.
I think Bette is being a bit harsh but I can see why she feels that way. She’s never had to work so hard at getting a woman..LOL Tina does need time but they should do this together.
NOOOOO!!! Tina, don’t let Bette walk away! Don’t be stubborn, please! *sigh* I still love this story. :o)
WOW!!! That was really good!!! Can not wait to see what Tina does now!!! Thank you PPS
Come on Tina go after Bette and work thing out. Please post more, thanks!
