Eric stopped pacing long enough to shake head at her in disgust.
"It’s not about that anyway." Tina began again, trying to quiet her rising tone. "It’s about us. We’re just not…it’s just not ‘there’ anymore."
"Is it because of Bette…because you know your just another flash in the pan for her…she’s doesn’t care about you…she’s slept with hundreds of women…" Eric’s tone gaining bravado.
Tina’s own stomach began turning viciously at the thought of Bette Porter with not only one woman, but hundreds of women. It also outraged her to hear that Bette couldn’t possibly truly care for her, yet she knew Eric was speaking through thick pain. A tear slowly dropped down her cheek as she bit her lip to keep herself together.
"I know that you must hate me right now, for doing this tonight…of all places. But you have to believe me Eric, I never meant to hurt you. I would never set out to do that…" Tina’s body heaved a little as she saw Eric’s own face contort.
"Tina…I…what are we saying here???" Eric ran a heavy hand over his face, sniffing curtly to hide his emotions.
"Maybe we should talk about this later…" Tina interjected, suddenly becoming gun shy, her face strewn with tears.
"No. We’re talking about it now." Eric allowed no room for discussion. "Your fucking straight Tina…at least I thought you were." Eric stabbed.
Without even thinking, Tina hammered the final nail in the coffin. "I thought I was too…" She blurted, instantly cupping her lips with her palm, her eyes popping out. She couldn’t believe she had just ‘outed’ herself…and to her boyfriend of all people.
"You disgust me." Eric glared into Tina, his upper lip arched. He shook his head with intensity, admonishing Tina for her unintended confession.
"Then I don’t know what else to say…I’m so sorry Eric…." Tina quipped as she sobbed quietly.
"That’s it? You’re sorry?" Eric’s voice broke a little. He turned his back on her, unwilling to show her how she’d just shattered him completely.
"Two fucking years, Tina. Gone. That’s what you want??" Eric spoke, his voice fully cracking now.
"I don’t know what I want Eric…that’s the point. I don’t know what I want…" Tina tried to put a hand on Eric’s shoulder. She couldn’t believe it was ending this way…on a sidewalk in Hollywood…in front of the Bette Porter gallery.
Eric pulled away rigidly. "But you do know that suddenly don’t desire men anymore…and you know that you definately don’t want me…" Eric filled Tina’s mouth with words, his chest rising rapidly. Each new breath felt like swallowing needles. His statement was met by sobs rather than a response.
Eric turned around briskly to face the blonde.
"I want your things out of my place immediately. You’ve embarrassed me and humiliated me." Eric stated like it was a business deal, but Tina could see that his eyes were blood shot and moist.
"Eric…" Tina began faintly, tears flowing so freely that her neck was now saturated.
Eric turned and began walking down the sidewalk. She watched him hand his ticket to the valet, his face colorless. He stood there like a statue until his coupe arrived, never once turning to the blonde standing just a few feet away.
Tina continued to quietly cry as Eric peeled out of the parking lot.
"I’m so sorry Eric…so sorry." Tina buried her face in her hands as she let the feelings of loss and release consume her body….

I must say out of all the stories that include Eric this one made me feel somewhat bad for him but not bad enough to not want to read about the hottest couple ever. TIBETTE!
Wow, this story just gets better and better with each post!!! Thanks for your hard work and dedication to this wonderful tale!
Great update Fire…and I’m glad that you didn’t make Eric a total asshole. Of course he’s upset, he’s spent 2 years with her…if he wasn’t upset he’d be an asshole! You write beautifully!
A wonderfully written dramatic chapter. I felt like I was on the street watching the two of them come apart. Beautifully done, Fire! I can’t wait to see if Bette witnessed the speedy exit and comes to rescue her girl! I’m glad Eric is gone but Tina definitely needs some comforting…
take it like a man Eric!!!…sorry! did we see the last of him???? hmmmm…didn’t like the way he left,too bitter. NOW….let get to the “hotness” of Bette and Tina ;-) awesome as always fire………..PPS PPS PPS PPS
Just Amazing!!!! The way you write is just wonderful. Now will Tina turn to Bette? I just hope that when she does go to Bette it will be with an open mind and not alot of questions about all the other women Eric told her about. Great story PPVS
nice work t. Now on to more wonderful, lusciously fulfilling pastures. Godess fire starter, I know I am not alone with this heat that you have stoked in all of us. Please. Post. Soon.
Woweee Fire!! Only u could make me feel a little sorry for eric…that’s how Fantastic your writing is! And I’m sure I’m not the only one who does a happy dance whenever I see u have posted. So c’mon make me dance some more, please…:D
All break-ups are bloody messy, regardless of the reason. And all’s fair in love, right!
ouch! that’s painful.. i can certainly understand why your body was tense! but then again… it’s sooo well-written.. thanks a lot, fire. now go, loosen up (and write another chapter ;) )
Break ups are never easy but this one publicly painful. Hopefully, Bette will go look for Tina and comfort her. PS.
i am so glad eric is finally history.
Good riddance Eric. Hopefully Alice was watching this and alerted Bette. Surely Bette was lurking in the shadows or just out of sight near the door and heard everything and is now going to Tina to comfort her and offer to give her some place to stay when she removes her belongings from Eric’s place.Great update. PPS
Well writen.Tina does the right thing.Bye Eric, hello Bette !
well, it had to end somewhere & a sidewalk in Hollywood is as good as anywhere when 2 hearts are breaking. PPS.
I guess I’m just sadistic, but I really wanted to see Tina struggling with the homo thing while she was with Eric… And Bette would fall for her and not be sure if she would have her, since she was nowhere close to leaving him, but that’s just me! :) You did a great job, though. The best break up between Tina and Eric I’ve seen around here. Now I can only wait to see whether she’ll come down and how, and obviously how will Bette react if Tina won’t. Again, amazing story.
that was sad, but a relief at the same time. Will Tina let Bette console her? hmmm pps
When is Bette going to get what she really wants from Tina?? Great story
well i for one am glad tina broke it off with eric before any thing happened with bette.. and i feel for him… but life goes on… you did a good job writing this… now whats tina going to do… she is outside crying… does she go back or go home…PPS
Oops, calm down. :D
I’d be upset if Tina dumped me too! However, I think Eric is more upset because 1)he thinks Tina publicly humiliated him and 2)it was for a woman. I’m curious to see what will happen next. Will Bette go to Tina? Will Tina run to Bette? Will Tina just leave? So many possiblities, but which ever direction it takes, I know it will be done beautifully because your writing is masterful. PPS!
Nicely done, not exactly the best place to break up but it had to happen right? So let’s see what is going happen with tina since eric through her out….:)PPS
Good old Eric – he and Tim are like the martyrs for all mankind – bless them. You did a wonderful job describing something that is just not a happy place to be in. PPS
Well it had to happen sooner or later, glad it was sooner now our girls have a chance to get together! PPS
ERic needed to go, too bad it was in such a public way, but he was the one who wanted to discuss it right now. Bette needs to tred lightly, cos now Tina’s going to want to know about the 100’s of women.
everyone would want to blame both Tina and Bette, If she had really loved Eric, she wouldnt have fallen in love with Bette. Erics is a male ego thing. Not love but people knowing his G/F left him for a woman. Hated that thing happen the way it did,but like it behind them and now they can go forward
About time Tina saw sense and dumped Eric.
SUCKY for Tina. I hope she can deal with her feelings for Bette now.
good eric is done and now let Bette there for Tina!
