    Author Notes:

    Bette and Tina, 3 months after the end of Season 2.

     

    “It’s okay, Bette, I need to hear this.”  Tina barely whispered, as she reached out to reassure Bette by tracing her fingers along her face.

     

    “I was so angry that night.  I couldn’t do anything to make anything better in my life.  So I went to a bar, planning to have a drink or two.  I didn’t really plan on meeting anyone.  But as I was sipping my third martini, I noticed a girl watching me.  I felt this sudden surge of power, Tee.  I’m not proud of it, but I approached her because I knew I had complete control over her.”  Bette paused.  “Do you really want me to keep going?”

     

    “No, Bette, I don’t want to hear any more.  But I need to.  Just like you needed to hear about Helena.”  Tina raised an eyebrow, and also managed to force half of an insincere smile.  Bette let out a deep sigh as the details of that night continued to flood her brain, accompanied by feelings of shame and regret.

     

    “I asked her to dance.”  Bette actually let out a half-hearted chuckle.  “Well, more like I told her she wanted to dance with me.  I took her back to my hotel and we spent the night together.  She gave me complete control, Tee.  I never even let her touch me.  I couldn’t.  I don’t even know her name.  I just needed to feel like something was in my control, that somehow it would make everything else okay.”  The tears that had been slowly welling in Bette’s eyes now fell freely down her face. 

     

    “Did it make everything okay, Bette?” Tina challenged Bette gently as she brushed away the tears with her thumbs.

     

    “No.  It made it worse.  I felt like I had cheated on you all over again.”  Bette lowered her chin to her chest as the sobs overtook her body.  “I felt more out of control and even more helpless than ever.”  Tina scooted closer to the edge of the pool, wrapping her legs around Bette’s back as she pulled Bette’s head against her chest.  Tina wrapped both of them in the warmth of the towel as she held Bette tightly against her.

     

    “It’s okay, Baby.  You didn’t do anything wrong.”  Tina’s voice was strong and reassuring.  She didn’t like Bette’s actions, but understood them now.  Tina was also relieved that Bette’s involvements during their separation had been limited to this meaningless encounter.  Tina’s relief was short-lived, however, as thoughts of Helena, of her own, more meaningful, involvement continued to haunt her.  She wondered silently what it would take for them both finally to be free of that ghost.

    2. Steph, great as usual. I love to see them talking, even when it is about the tough stuff. The test of a relationship, is going through all those more challenging moments. This is one of them for both Bette and Tina. Opening up about who they have been with, what they were feeling, is something that shows their honesty and ability to take responsibility and now move forward into a more healthier place together. I love the way you write them. It’s too bad Ileine couldn’t have made it happen like this. Post Soon. : -)

    6. Wow…powerful chapter in that they put the truth out there, but the process is still not complete. I appreciate your efforts to fill in so many gaps –why each did the things they did. I truly think that, had this happened on the show, we wouldn’t be worrying about whether there would be a TiBette reunion at this point. This difficult communication is what they needed to do to get past all of this stuff. Thanks so much for your efforts with this!

    7. Talking about the hard stuff is really tough even though they need to talk about it. Hopefully they will get this out of the way without damaging the budiing reconnection they are now esxperiencing. They must remember the love they feel and how easily it is to lose it. Great post Steph as usual. Post when you can.
