Tina now understands Bettes fear. Two fold actually she is afraid that Tina will think of her taking the CAC position as not putting her and Anna first and also that when the times do conflict that Tina will lay all the blame on Bette for not meeting her commitment. Tina nodded as she has experienced only too well knows the Bette who puts her career and job first above all other distractions. But that wasnt her sense of who Bette is now, the old Bette wouldnt have even considered having this conversation. Bette first I cant tell you what to do. Only you can make those choices but I will tell you that if we work together we both will be able to meet all of Annas needs and I am more than willing to work with you on that if you are. If I understand what you are telling me you are trying to say that despite this offer from the CAC you still will be putting Anna first and not your job. Right?
At that Bette nods her head. I know that in the past I have a track record that says something different but that is one of the aspects of my life that I have tried to change.
OK Bette I believe you. I believe things will always naturally come up. Part of the battle is recognizing what your priorities are and treating the rest as one offs. Tina reasons with Bette.
One offs? Bette asks.
Yeah you know things that we will look at on an individual by individual basis as they come up. You know one off. Tina explains her terminology.
Bette is thinking through what Tina has said starts to smile as she can live with one offs. Seeing the smile form on Bettes face Tina starts to joke with her Oh you like my one offs dont you. I bet you wish it was your idea.
Yeah actually I do. Bette jokes back clearly at ease now. What other ideas do you have that will allow us to put our daughter first?
I think having this discussion was a wonderful idea and I am just grateful you wanted to have it. Tina says with all sincerity now. Bette Porter, when I think that I know all there is to know about you, you show me something new. It definitely keeps things fresh. Tina says that last part with a twinkle in her eye that Bette catches.
Oh yeah well I am just trying to catch up to you. Bette says as now she leans forward Tina I know that we are communicating so much better please lets keep these lines open.
Yeah lets. Tina says as she gets all the meanings that Bette is implying with that statement. Ok so why dont you tell me more details about this job offer?

LOVELY STORY..THE FRIENDSHIP THAT BETTE & TINA HAVE NOW IS SO STRONG…LOVE IT POST SOON
Oh I’m so happy to see them communicating. These two deserve each other and their new attitudes and willingness to communicate about the important happenings in their lives will make the reunion that much better. Thanks for a great story.
Jwet thanks for taking the tyme to comment to all of your fans…. I look forward to your comments as much as the story (OK not entirely true, but I enjoy the comments nonetheless). Enjoy your weekend and I’ll be looking forward to your next post.
Gotta love the communication these two are expressing=) Bette did awesome on explaining her fears to Tina…they’ll get through whatever life throws at them, I’m sure of it=P Alice is such a funny gal. Please update soon Jwet!
Jwet, i know I’ve said this before but i need to say it again. This story, and you as a writer keep gets better with every chapter. I hope Tina remembers to communicate with Bette when she finds out Bette is behind the foundation. Oh, and Alice is such a trouble maker but I still love her.
Wow when they are talking it almost as good as them having sex LOL. Yeah my thoughts do always go back to Tina when she finds out that Bette is the one who gave the money. But I think she will be cool with it since that is all Bette seems to have done. I mean jackie really liked tina, and grace did too so it wasn’t like Bette had to push the idea at all. Right?? well keep up the good work!!
Hey jwet I just get
back home I just missed this too open this morning and thank you again WHOA! what can I say it still Awesome jwet Beautiful as Always Good writing I can wait what is gonna happend to Bette if Tina fine out that Bette Envelopment, On the Foundation I think if I’m Tina you need to fine the Money Train I think Alice she is right, okay Jwet Thank you keep it going Please post soon.
SO moving in the right direction. thanks for all of the updates, i just caught up.
bette and tina are right on track, what a lucky girls anna is :)
I had fallen a few days behind… WOW, I like where this is headed. I even like that you keep Alice in there, just so we don’t get too comfortable, just be kind!
Good Job.
I have seen your writing get better and better as this series continues.
Thank you.
Jwet, this is wonderful. I like the way Bette and Tina are communicating with one another.
What a beautiful talking they have, this is good. Bette is open up to Tina and that’s a good sign, like it. Ok just keep them like this until their date and see what’s happen next. Post soon, thanks! Great chapter!
Wow!! Bette us changing so much. This was nice of her to talk to Tina about the situation. Loving it!!
Such a beautiful story, just keep up the good work, let us have a new chapter soon.
hey.. that’s so nice of bette! can’t wait for the next one! btw, sent yopu the mail.. let me know if you don’t get it.
well well well..who knows that Bette Porter wiil be fear to talk to Tina..lol..but i´m glad they work thins out for good…however..we never know whats up in your mind..lol..post soon..thanks
Don’t talk about them and where they are in their lives…talk about the possibilities inherent in chocolate sauce or whipped cream once Anna’s gone to bed (or is taking a nap, or is out with the au pair, or is being babysat by someone…)
Forgot to mention…still enjoying Alice as Cassandra.
love the new bette !! great update as always
Glad they can keep talking please let Bette keep it straight.and we know Alice is going to find out where the money came from BUT is she going to screw things up for them by going to Tina before Bette..Post soon this is and fabulous story.. TY
Alice is still the bloodhound she is getting close…
Bette has completly opened herself up to Tina, love this new Bette.
Have a nice weekend Jwet and thank you for this chapter.
This is clearly “one of” the best stories on the site…please keep churning them out for us.
Excellent chapter. Can’t wait to see when Alice will bust open the story on MYV. And when Tina will decide that she wants Bette back in her life in all ways!
Hey Jwet. I know I haven’t been around lately but life got in the way! Sadly, it wasn’t all good…I’m no longer one of two….just one. Reading you’re story gives me hope but I fear that hope will bear no fruit. It hurts like hell but I’ve made sure that lessons were learnt. The love will possibly always be there but, right now we can’t be together. I’m glad that Bette is taking things slow and getting to not only learn the new Bette but the new Tina as well. You’re doing a wonderful job. And even though I expressed concerns about the results of Alice’s snooping, Tina’s new found confidence in herself and her relationship with Bette will help them to deal with any negative fallout (should it occur). Keep up the good work, and do have a restful weekend.
Again, brilliant. Love it, post soon and thanks :)
Woo, that was good. I love how B&T are finally communicating, well they’ve been…you know what I mean.
It’s hard to keep all these ideas in check sometimes so next week you shall see more.
Write more please, woo!
Reading this chapter I know why I can never find the perfect words to express what this story makes me feel. It’s just so overwelming.
Jwet,
Thanks you babes. Goofy grin at being appreciated. Honestly as amazed that you take the time to answer all your supporters. BIG THANK YOU!
So on to this fabulous story.
Eloquent as ever, you craft such a wondrous tale. The characterizations are stunning; I can really feel Bette battling between the old and new and improved version as Tina is blossoming in to the assertive and backboned director we all know she will be.
I love the way that you have covered all bets with the simplest of expositions. I am torn between being desperate to see what happens next while wanting to savour every juicy moment.
So which of the following questions will be answered in the next installment of “From Afarâ€:
When will Alice be able to sit down after that tongue lashing? Will she pass it on to her editor? (Yes please!) Where does Miss Kit get all those pearls of wisdom from? (Do the Hawaiians know). When will the ton of brick hit Bette and Tina to make them realise they belong together? Will the ‘one-off’ develop into a motivational speakers series? Will Benjamin integrate them into TOE?
Why does buttered toast always land butter side down on a carpet?
Right back at you about this weekend. Enjoy your golfing! LOL!
Will be at a wedding then having a few days off so won’t be posting until Wednesday. Yippee, bet I’ll have loads to read then. Sweet!
You Loyal Fan.
So glad they’ve agreed to keep the lines of communication open…I’m hoping they’ll draw on that if and when Alice uncovers the truth about the initial donor to the foundation…Also I’m so counting on the incredible love that Bette and Tina have for one another to get then thru all of their obstacles…it has already, right? This is still one of my all time fav fanfics!!! Thanks!
Alice..Alice.. I’m glad to hear Tina is not concerned about where the money came from – I hope it stays that way. The rebuilding between them is tender and wonderful.
