Bette called Tina’s cell that night, her voicemail kicking in immediately, she left her a message, telling her how much she loved her, how much she missed her, the words broken by the intermittent sniffles. She just hoped that Tina listened to the message, and listened to her words, the words she meant and that came straight from the wreckage that was her heart at that particular moment.
The following day, Sunday came after a sleepless night, Bette called Tina’s cell numerous times and again voicemail. She wandered aimlessly around the empty house, not knowing what to do with herself, this was usually the day they spent lounging around together, the time they spent lying in bed on a Sunday morning following a night making love, the Sunday morning that had become a ritual in their short and intense romance, Tina staying over at Bette’s all weekend, spending quality time together before the long working week when they snatched evenings and dinner together, but they had come to rely on their weekends to focus on one another while they lived apart, neither one having made the open confession that they really wanted to live together, but both knowing that they were holding out, waiting for the other to voice the words, and both knowing this precious thing they had found called ‘love’ was not something they wanted to jeopardise by jumping too quickly.
Living together had been mentioned in a jovial conversation with their friends, Alice making a quip that Tina spent so much time at Bette’s that it made sense, they had looked at one another, neither saying a word, searching the other’s eyes for a clue of what the other wanted, it had become a subject they avoided talking about, and now as Bette sat on looking at the sky, she wondered why they hadn’t taken the plunge and asked Tina to move in with her, it did make sense, it was one of the few things that Alice had said that did make sense, but as the sinking feeling returned to the pit of her stomach, she wondered whether she would actually get the opportunity of asking Tina at all.
The very thing she wanted to do at that very moment, was to take Tina into her arms, lead her to the bedroom and make love to her, show her how much she loved her, how much she wanted her, how she never wanted to let her go. It was a long and lonely day, followed by yet another sleepless night, the emptiness filling her with dread.

1st….yes. Thanks for the words mate :o))
Definitely was not a disappointment. More please. Just love there reconnection and connection now. Both appreciative and not taking each other for granted now!!! Great Job!!!
Man this was good…you were pulling emotions out of me I was like dag…the story seemed so real. Give us more Jo
Jobadge, I have to say this story of yours is probably my favorite of all the fanfictions I’ve been reading so far, and let me tell you, I’ve been reading some pretty good stuff ( there are so many good writers around here ! ). But this one is just… Amazing and so “unique”. I had really hoped you would start posting chapters of “Do you remember when” again someday, but I was kind of losing that hope ( although I’ve enjoyed “Those adoring eyes” very much ). So I guess all I can say at this point is : Thank you very much. I’ve been missing this story so much ! Pleeeaase, Jobadge, don’t make us wait that long again for your next installment.
Excellent piece of pure emotion, as moving as deeply realistic. I love it a lot. It seems so real that I cannot help but thinking it came from life, deep from living memories… Thank you so much for sharing your talent and your sensitivity with us !
Yes, Jo, it’s been decided…You are the master of the romantic. More, please.
I can’t believe that Bette wouldn’t blow up at that rebuking by Tina, that she took things so well all week, her pride obviously not so all powerful in the beginning…lucky, tks J tks!
WOW!!!!! Thank you PPS
That Greg is just a fucking dyck! Actually, he deserves some sympathy himself. Although he didn’t acquit himself well, and the paid radiates outward from the source in concentric rings, he really is just another example of the bitterness that comes of trying to live according to someone else’s wishes and expectations. It’s not a market queers have cornered.
I meant ‘pain’ not ‘paid’. Crap, you’d think I’d learn to proofread.
*Very deep and heavy sigh*… Saying that this is my favorite series is an understatement… I read this amazing chapter listening to some amazing music, and let me tell you that in spite of the lump present in my throat the whole time, I just had one amazing moment thanks to you. You’re such a fantastic writer… Thanks for this fireworks of emotions… again!
This was amazing. you put it together so well. thanks
Thank you so much for sharing.
What a beautiful flash back..tough 4 B and T…but a great story…
yes yes yes, so glad you have posted a new chapter on this series. I love this story thanks
very emotional chapter, thank you
great pms
I love Tina’s mom. I hope that we get to see more of her in later post. There is that deep, deep connection that only true soul mates share in Bette and Tina. I wonder what Benjamin’s family would say if they knew that they had a granddaughter and what their reaction would be if they knew that Tina was deeply in love with a woman?
Ow that hurt like a…yeah you get the idea. Greg sucks. :( I kept thinking you made a typo when you said “he” instead of “she” prior to the flashback.
Raw and emotional. I felt so bad for Bette. She had to walk away from TIna, not able to comfort her. That feeling of being helpless, is awful. It’s like trying to comfort someone who is grieving. I guess in a way, Tina was grieving. Grieving for relationship with her Dad that she really never had. Great job Jo. Thanks.
warm my heart.
Hey Jo – I was too tired to comment last night, sorry. This post was everything I expected plus so much more….you’re fantastic!!! I did notice Tinas mother name :o))……..Again thank you so much for the post and the words, you’re a sweetheart.
I know it’s been a while since I left a comment, and I really have no excuse but I just wanted to say that I thought that was amazing. One of your best, and I hope that my chapter lives up to your expectations. Thanks mate.
Good chapter. That was emotional and great flashbacks. Please post soon, thanks!
Well..where to start…I really liked the twist you have in this chapter with Tinas Dad…..And as hard as the week was for both of them…it was much needed for Tina..BUT what i really liked..was the way you brought them both back together….at the pool!…the place where your first story started…..Kind of ironic…i loved it!
you write wonderfully ..pps
JO… loved this… what a chapter… please continue
wonderful! lately you have been making me cry wiht your wonderful chapter, thanks for post another one of this story
Loved “Adoring Eyes,” but I’m SO glad to see you back at this one. Amazing.
Thanks for a wonderful chapter Jo. I so love this ‘remember’ series. Great flashbacks and the way you capture the emotion is just awesome!
your stuff makes me cry like no other and this just had me sobbing — which i know wil make yoiu laugh. for me its my mom who doesn’t like that i am a fucking dyke… sadly i have never met anyone who loves me like bette loves tina. this is brilliant job. so simple but so poigant. as always you amaze me with your talent. ally x
I love these stories, you write them so well. Thank you.
So glad you’re back with this story, but wow, so painful and real the breach that was revealed! Thank you for taking the time to show us some backstory and the challenges of B & T’s love early on that helped to forge the powerful bond we see between them.
