First, Last, & Forever? (Version 2.0 – Chapter 20)
"Did you love her?" Tina asked softly. These questions had been running through her mind since the moment she was Bette touching Candace at the CAC. She knew she should have asked them before she left their home that night.
"No, Tee." Bette’s answer was simple, but honest.
"When did it start?" Tina felt a lump form in her throat. She didn’t really believe that Bette had cheated on her while she was pregnant but she had to know for sure. Bette averted her eyes as she began to answer.
"You know I met her at Kit’s show. She was there with Yolanda." Bette paused as Tina exhaled, not realizing she had been holding her breath. "Nothing happened that night, but Slim Daddy kept telling us how hot we would be together. I kept telling him I was with you, that it would never happen. But she didn’t protest at all." Bette paused again, looking up at Tina, who nodded for Bette to continue.
"Then a few days later, you went out of town with the girls for Dinah Shore. And we worked late on her plans for Provocations. We had dinner, and you called. You sounded so happy, I was so proud of you for allowing yourself to have some fun after…" Bette paused, wiping away the tears forming at the corners of her eyes. "after…after we lost him. She seemed shocked that I had a partner, I don’t know why. She was there at Kit’s show when I was talking about you." Bette stopped again, taking a quick breath.
"She left, and again, I swear that nothing happened. But she came back. She told me she wanted to kiss me, and that I should tell her if I didn’t want her to. And I stood there, Tee, like an idiot, and let it happen." Tears were beginning to roll down Bette’s cheeks. Neither woman made any attempt to wipe them away. "It was just a kiss. But I felt like it had freed me in a way. I had been so wrapped up in trying to be strong for you, in trying to get the exhibit done. She exerted control over me by kissing me, and I let her take that control. I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. But it was immediately replaced by a heavier one. By my guilt."

Well written chaper, I love when you post.
Speechless…wow bette needs to keep going and tina gets her turn!
Damn, that was a downer. Tina is acting pretty saint like because I’m pretty sure if I was hearing that BS, even if its all true, I’d be way, way more pissed about it.
Tina did good she needs all the answers and then decide if she wants to work through them. PPS
well who the hell wants complicated sex! thanks.
Steph, this is an intense chapter. Infidelity is hard thing on everyone involved, and the journey back together for the couple, is a task in itself. These chapter evoke quite a bit of emotion for me personally. You are a brilliant writer if you can evoke such raw emotion, and that you do. Thank you for posting.
awesome as always!!! applause to the author
Some things should be taken to the grave. This Candace thing is one of them. Never, never in a million years would I tell my spouse the blow-by-blow of how I cheated, if I were to cheat. To the grave! And beyond!
Some things you talk about,others you try to keep hidden deep with in yourself. If Bette didnt tell Tina the guilt would eat her alive. It would always be in the back of her mind ready to escape. thanks
Oh it is intense… but unbelievably well written! PPS
Wow, I just caught up with all of this. You are doing such a fantastic job of getting them through all of this. Where were you when season 3 was happening? Your version is so what should have transpired and still should.
I do trust you, but it is hard to relive that time. It is what set all the pain from all the seasons in motion.
Wow…just wow… So intense, so painful for both. But they have to get past this to move forward together so they won’t dwell on assumptions about what happened and why. Another excellent gap filler!
I love your story and this chapter was quite emotional; Bette& Tina are doing a huge step to built a very strong relationship…Please don’t let us wait too long until your next post !! ;-)
whoa!!!! i thught tina would be disgusted by the cell scene…and btw i always thought it was significant that they put the white gals in one cell and the biracial/african-american girls in the other…anyway…pps
i hope they will get through this ;)
Wow! This is intense. PPS
