Feelings… Chapter 13
“Is that supposed to be some kind of threat?” Bette could feel the anger boiling within.
“I guess it shows you how angry I am about all this. And the same must go for you. We both said some pretty harsh things in there!”
“Yes, you’re right. I’m sorry, too.” Bette struggled to pull back her outrage at being ousted from the house and still stung from what had been said. But even though she meant some of what she had said, she didn’t mean for it to come out as it did.
“Maybe we can talk a little more rationally since we got that out of our systems,” Tina mused. “But I’m guessing this is just the beginning…can I get in?”
Bette unlocked the door and waited until Tina was situated in the seat next to her.
“Okay. This reminds me of something Foxworthy told me a few months before Angelica was born. He said it sounded like we hadn’t really spent time talking about what happened to us and why. He also told me that he could tell when he first met us that our communication skills sucked big time!”
“I think that was pretty obvious when you think back,” Tina chuckled. “You know, even now, it’s still hard to believe that you put me in that awkward position about Marcus Allenwood!”
Bette started to simmer—that was still a sore point for her. “Tina, why is it that you insist that we hadn’t discussed that when I know we did!”
“Then explain this to me, since you didn’t answer it when I asked you this earlier–if it was so important for us to have a black donor, then why wasn’t there even one at Alice’s little ‘sperm party’?”
“Look—that little shindig was her idea—she invited all the guys who were there!”
“And if you already knew Marcus, then why didn’t you tell her to invite him? Why didn’t you invite him yourself? Or even suggest that she make sure some African American men were going to be in the pool?!”
Bette, ready to leap to her own defense, realized she had no comeback. Flustered, she admitted, “I don’t know. And I can’t imagine why I didn’t. I was convinced that you and I talked about that.”

WELL IT’S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!Ok these two need to talk and not yell at each other. I think they’re making progress but they are too angry to hear one another. It they both can just step back and listen I think they both can see how hurt each other are. Now I will go back to nagging again….Thanks Sweetie for this update!
I wish there was more talking instead of yelling but at least they are communicating.
Thanks for the update. If they would only talk to each other and not scream. Just have a little patience and LISTEN to what is being said and think about it before reacting. Post when you can.
Wow that was a long time Bette had to wait in the car. Glad your back! Maybe they weren’t quite over the anger enough to actually communicate with one another. Though they are at least saying something.
Just reread this one…Sooo, it’s been a long time..any chance we’ll still get that happy B&T ending??
This is no good, they need to calm down and talk more and work thing out. PPS!
There is no way that Tina didn’t know but was biracial. I’m sorry but Bette has never hidden who she is. Bette adores Melvin and I can’t imagine she would hide the most important person in her life when she first became serious with Tina. I can she her not really talking about her Kit because for almost all of Bette’s life she has been an addict. I really hope Bette and Tina break-up because Tina isn’t taking any responsibility for any of her actions. Everything Tina does she can justify to herself that Bette cheated first so she isn’t to blame.
Ar, it’s really good to see you back! But the chapter is way to SHORT!!! But I am thankful for every line.
wigbee715, I agree that Bette wouldn’t hide her heritage. I’m just repeating what Kit and Yolanda both said to her–that most people wouldn’t know she was biracial unless she made it known. I don’t think she should have had to make an announcement of that fact; it’s just a shame that people will treat you differently based on their assumptions of who you are.
Any chance you would come back after 5 years for a post? I miss this story!
