Tina shook her head confused and concerned. “No. Are you sure you’re okay?”
Bette nodded nervously. “Yes. Fine. I’ll be right back.” Then Bette turned and made a beeline for the bar, feeling very overwhelmed.
Tina hesitated for a minute before deciding that Bette shouldn’t be alone. As she started her way toward her girlfriend, a hand dropped on her shoulder. She turned to glance and smile. “Excuse me, I’ll be right–”
“Tina.”
Tina’s heart dropped into her stomach as she turned to face him. Eric. His short brown hair was slicked back in its usual style, he looked thinner but healthier, and he seemed darkermore mysterious. He looked bigger, taller, like his body would surround and envelope her and swallow her whole. She was sure Bette had taken his name off the guest list. “E-Ericwhat are you doing here?” She could feel the blood draining from her face.
Eric smiled. “I collect art, remember?” His tone was cool but caring. Tina didn’t respond so he continued. “I’m here someone, do you remember Vanessa Lyons?”
“U-uhyes. A-a fellow Harvard graduate, right?”
Eric nodded. “Yes. She was invited, so I decided to tag along. I was hoping to run into you. I thought we could talk.”
Tina turned toward the bar, hoping to catch a glimpse of Bette, but she wasn’t there. She felt trapped and no one was there to save her. “O-oh, I don’t know”
“Just for a few minutes. Come on Tina, I won’t bite, I promise.”
Biting her lower lip and scanning the gallery for Bette one last time, Tina finally caved. “Okay.”
Eric smiled and grabbed her hand. “Excellent.” As he led her to a more private part of the gallery, Tina could feel her heart racingbut not in a good way.
————-
Alice was having a good time. She had been to the Bette Porter Gallery many times and always found Bette’s openings to be the absolute best. She had mingled, she had talked, she even got a few decent ideas for a new article, and she most definitely took advantage of the bar. She had been a little tipsy when Bette rushed to her, grabbed her by the arm and led her to a secluded corner.
Almost spilling her drink, Alice shouted. “Hey Bette, what the hell!”

First time calls, second time flowers, what’s for the next time? But I still hope Tee will forgive Bette.
Love the story and the long posts was a bonus. Bette needs to beg beg get down on her knees beg and keep begging for Tina’s forgivness, flowers are not going to do it. Excellent chapter
Wow this is excellent. I like the long posts like this and was a wonderful flashback. Well hope this time she will beg and get down on her kneed again begging for Tina’s forgiveness and hope Tina will forgive Bette. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Great chapter don’t mind the long posts at all!!!
Great stuff… now lets try flowers…tho i think it will take a little more than that to fix this…lookin forward to more…lots more…
What suprises me is that the notion of love didn’t come around a lot sooner. Well if I learned one thing from this chapter, it’s never have a possible life-altering conversation (or yelling match) while drunk. And WTF…flowers? I’d be pissed if someone brought me flowers after a major break-up as of a way of apologizing. Flowers are way too happy for that type of occasion.
I love the long posts and this one was excellent. I really enjoyed the flashback to their first break up. Thanks and please post again soon!
I had something I originally wanted to say and couldn’t remember until now. You asked what we thought might have been the time that passed between S1 and S2. I once read that it was 1 day, but come on. No one’s pregnancy goes from not showing to popping out in a few hours. I would think a month would be long enough for a person to start showing, but I’ve never been pregnant so I wouldn’t know. I’m also pretty sure that Tina said she was living on Alice’s couch for a month right around the time she met with Joyce the annoying as fuck lawyer. But that also makes me wonder how long Bette was involved with Candyass because I always assumed she went back to her 1 more time then called it quits. Wow, people weren’t kidding when they said S2 had holes in the plot and bad writing.
wonderful…the first breakup was really intense….the time line was so screwed up, but my theory is that it was no more than 1-2 weeks between end of s1 and 201, because in 201 Al and dana talked about their kiss and i don’t think they could stay away and not to talk about it for months…tina did tell her lawyer in 203 that she stayed at alice’s house for 1 month, so maybe 2-3 weeks passed from ep. 1 to 3…and i don’t believe that bette would sleep with candace for so long…and another thing: tina was 13 weeks pregnant in 205 when she met helena and she go pregnant while she was still with bette for couple of months…so yes, only 2 weeks at the most between s1 and s2
Wow, that was really good and remarkably believable. The long posts are great. Please keep going.
