FIrst, Last, & Forever? (Version 2.0 – Chapter 14)
Tears were running down Bette’s cheeks as she turned and looked into Tina’s eyes, silently begging for forgiveness. A long silence passed between them, as Tina broke eye contact, shifting her gaze to her own hands as she searched for the right words to answer Bette’s question. Finally, she lifted her eyes back to meet the chocolate stare that was focused intently on her, searching for any clue as to Tina’s state of mind.
“No, Bette, you haven’t ruined it. I’m so ashamed of how I acted that night. I saw you with Candace and I thought I could handle it. But you walked into our bedroom that night like nothing had changed, and I snapped. The last thing I wanted to hear was you saying you were sorry or that you loved me.”
Bette looked away, back out the window at nothing in particular, unable to continue their eye contact as Tina’s words ripped through her. Tina got up from her chair, approached Bette from behind, and wrapped her arms around Bette’s waist. She buried her face in Bette’s hair, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. She laid her forehead against the back of Bette’s neck, and continued.
“I’m so sorry, Bette, I know I hurt you physically that night, and I haven’t forgiven myself for that. I couldn’t make sense of my emotions. You were touching me and trying to make love like it would make your affair disappear. And I loved you and hated you and wanted you all at the same time.” Tina paused again, moving her right hand from Bette’s waist to play with her hair, gently winding a few strands around her fingers. “In some twisted way, I thought that if I got you off one more time, at least I would know I still could do that to you, that you still wanted me. It wasn’t just a fuck, Bette, it never has been with us, but we didn’t make love that night, either.”
Tina began to cry, leaning her forehead back against Bette’s neck. Bette felt the hot tears against her skin, and turned around to look at her wife, wrapping her arms around Tina’s waist and pulling her close. She stroked Tina’s face, wiping away tears, then guided Tina’s chin so their eyes met again.

God you’re good. I must admit I’ve never been able to actually watch the entire scene… But I’m workin on it. I’ve just watched the Henry/Tina scenes from season 3. Next step is this one.
Great chapter! Things that needed to be said were said & they’re working it out. PPS!!
Nice chapter, I would like to see what B thinks about when she watches t sleep..
yes well done….I’m hanging out for the next one.
Once again, what I love the most is your ability to fill SO many gaps that were left by IC. Everyone has differing opinions on that “bedroom scene” and you really put a wonderful twist on it, and the ideas you brought to life with your talent is amazing. Thanks Steph, and as long as we get a post from you, I don’t care what story it is!! Thanks again. Have a great weekend.
That scene has been discussed so much, and I am not fully convinced that Bette was forcing herself onto Tina. She clearly was trying to control Tina, though, and Tina wrested some of that control back. It was a painful, sad and angry moment–so powerful! One couldn’t watch it and not be moved somehow. Though I don’t agree 100% with your interpretation here, I do love the fact that they were able to talk about their feelings instead of keeping them–the thing I believe led to their destruction. And though the conversation was much delayed, it was needed even more! Thanks for filling that gap so well! Where’s the next chappy?
You have written and reposted again, what we all hoped at the time would happen. You post and we will read,theones that missed this the first time should be thrilled to be able to read this. Thanks
Steph, once again youo have done a wonderful job of telling their story as it should have happened and as we wanted it to happen. They should have been able to talk about that night and come to grips with it but alas, IC did not ssee that. So happy that you did. PPS
Oh my, you continue to leave me speechless… everyone is correct my friend, you have an excellent way of filling in the blanks! I love your writing!
