    Do you remember when… Chapter 13

     

    The whispered words into her ear, she had told her that ‘she was the only one she ever wanted… and she wanted her… now…’

     

    Tina broke the kiss, her mind not on the task at hand, instead her thoughts floated over this issue that crept up on them occasionally.

     

    "T… what’s up?" Bette quietly asked as she noticed the distracted look cross Tina’s face.

     

    "Uh… I’m not sure…"

     

    "What do you mean; I thought you wanted to… you know…?" Bette smirked.

     

    "I thought I did…"

     

    "Okay… but now you’ve changed your mind?"

     

    "Uh…"

     

    "T… honey what’s on your mind?"

     

    "Do you trust me?"

     

    Bette looked startled at the question, she had never had question to distrust Tina, and was surprised she even needed to ask, "absolutely…"

     

    "Do you… really?"

     

    "Are you serious?" Bette asked astonished she was being questioned in this manner.

     

    "Yes I am serious… "

     

    Bette shook her head, releasing her arms from Tina’s waist as she stepped back, she walked over to Kit’s desk, leaning her bottom on the edge as she folded her arms and regarded Tina’s question.

     

     

    "Well…?" Tina prompted as she eyed Bette, knowing that Bette was thinking about the question before she answered, but she was impatient, and she wanted to know.

     

    "I’ve never had any reason not to trust you; I just don’t understand where this has come from." Bette explained.

     

    "Your jealousy…"

     

    "What?"

     

    "You… being… jealous…" Tina said sarcastically.

     

    "Tina…" Bette replied with a sigh.

     

    "No Bette, it was simple question, do you trust me…?"

     

    "I’ve already answered that, I just don’t understand where this has come from…"

     

    "Out there just now… other times…" Tina gestured with her head to outside of the office.

     

    Bette looked incredulously at her partner, she looked at Tina, listening to the way in which she was talking to her, the edge in her voice that wasn’t there earlier, she had absolutely no clue where this conversation had come from and was even more confused at where it was going.

     

    But she had reacted to the woman talking to Tina, she knew that, the others knew that and Tina knew that, but the reaction was just her protective nature kicking in.

    1. You know Jo, as I read this, it occured to me that this is the only coherent explanation of why Bette would have debased herself for the sake of staying with the abusive Tina of season 3 that I’ve encountered. Certainly nothing IC & Co. ever even came close to offering. Fortunately for everyone, your Tina isn’t the self-serving harpy with the sometimes pleasantly plastic, sometimes sour smile that the TV show offered.

    2. very emotional chapter for both of them…i’m glad they have an understanding…this is how i saw bette on a show as well, so tough to everyone else and so vulnerable inside…thank you

    3. Lamentamini, a couple chapters ago you asked about Nadia Merchant. Alice and Shane, well, everybody talked about Nadia on the show and they all hated her with a passion and some others have written about her. Jo captured their dislike of Nadia very well. Jobadge, you have captured the emotions and feelings in all their rawness between these two young women as no one ever has before, even IC, especially IC. You write them and all aspects of their love and lives with such a clear and distinct passion and power that they almost jump off the page. It is so palatable that we can feel it and see it so clearly when we read your words. It is almost real. That shows what an enormous talent you have and with the ability to reveal it so wonderfully. thank you for such a great story. We love it.

    4. Great job. You wrote Bette and Tina’s emotions brilliantly. So we addressed Bette jealousy, which I kinda figured, but are we gonna address how Tina seems to suddenly demand things without clarification, or with assumption and then instead of processing through it with Bette leave? Now at least here she was able to figure things out herself, but I think she still does some…infliction on Bette with these snap decisions. Last Time Bette suffered head laceration, this time, Bette suffered an emotional upheaval. OK, enough babble, good job can’t wait for more…PLease post more soon.

    5. At first reading, I thought, deja vu but then you brilliantly and insightfully expanded on one small incident. The brilliant writers can do that….get the reader to understand some small facet of a character’s personality w/o telling us but by exploring and having the characters show us. Needless to say but I will….a pleasure to read.

    6. How true, how true…at least they didn’t let in continue. Tina stayed and then went back. Too often the pain and anger are the one’s in control, life should be this simple. To turn and go back and talk, make things right. Thanks!!

    7. Hey Jo! I was away and caught up with your last chapter kinda late. that’s why I didn’t comment… I wanted to say that I totally back up Azmama’s comment! One of the things I like the most about your work is its depth. And this chapter illustrates that so well! When reading the last chapter, I was delighted cause I love that theme: Bette being so protective with Tina (Yeah, for me, it’s also protectiveness ;) Not even mentionning the passion ignited by these ‘episodes’… (And not talking only about B & T here ;) But then, you don’t stop there and take us to a much deeper level in exploring your characters inner feelings about the whole issue. It makes them so much more beautiful (if that’s ever possible) because you show them in the glorious light of their weaknesses and imperfections. I don’t resent Tina’s behaviour at the beginning of the chapter. On the contrary, I feel that the parallel between Bette’s excessive jealousy and behaviour, and Tina’s sudden change of mood and withdrawal from Bette, is what makes the whole point of this chapter. And in the end, it is clear that it is what brings them together, as it triggers their reflection. Thanks Jo for allowing us to witness the imperfections of this perfect relationship! Cause B & T are not just a happy couple. it’s so much more complex than that. It takes work and communication, and lots of bumps. But if you’re ready to deal with the bumps like they are, then you get a hell of a partnership, beautifully described to us by the Master!

    8. NOOOOOOOOOO don’t let them go home – you still own me some action on Kits desk LMAO!!!!! Wow what a deep and emotional chapter, nobody do it like you do – brilliant and fantastic!!!
