She couldn’t even be bothered to change into something more relaxing, she didn’t have the energy or the inclination, the only thing she wanted to do was cry, she wanted to hold Tina in her arms and never let go, but she couldn’t do that, and she didn’t know if she would get to again…
She grabbed a bottle of wine and a glass, she walked to the French doors and slowly descended the steps, sitting by the pool, nursing a broken heart and glass of wine, the tears began, she had managed to stave them for the most part, apart from at night, they had refused to stop at night, but today they couldn’t wait for the darkness to descend.
Tonight the tears flowed freely, as she sat by the pool and looked to the dusky sky, they started and they refused to stop, she didn’t wipe them away, she didn’t try to stop them, to do that was like asking hell to freeze over, it just wouldn’t happen.
Her mind refused to allow the thoughts to pass through her mind of what she would do if Tina didn’t return, she contemplated driving back there, driving back and rescuing Tina from her family, she had never felt in so much of a quandary, she had never felt so lost, and it was not a feeling that she was used to, a feeling she had never experienced, to have something in your life missing.
Although as she thought about the missing part, she raised her eyebrows to herself, it was familiar, she had felt like that before she had met Tina, but had never realised that there was something missing. It was only since meeting Tina that she had felt complete, the last three months of her life had been the most complete that she had ever felt.
The dusky evening turned into darkness and she remained there, sat by the pool, her body not talking any notice of the chilly air, the wine long gone, her eyes slowly began to close, the week of sleepless nights catching up with her.
Tina pulled her car up in front of the house that she had spent so much time over the last three months, and she hoped against all hope that Bette was there, and she gave a deep sigh when she saw the car in the drive, the mixture of relief and dread washing over her, she so wanted to be in Bette’s arms, she had wanted nothing more each and every moment of the longest week of her life, but the dread came too, the dread of the look that she had seen in Bette’s eyes when she had told her that she ‘didn’t want her here’, she saw the hurt, she saw the pain she had inflicted, and she regretted her words immediately, she had needed Bette more that week than she had ever done, and she had pushed her away.

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.
