Tell me guys do you have secrets? Does this path sound familiar to you? Better yet dont tell me, I dont matter in the least but tell each other. Later tonight when youre together confess your fears that you think will make you look foolish. Learn from my mistakes. Bette is now pleading both Dana and Alice.
Alice takes this and looks back at Bette but Dana is uncomfortable and shifts in her chair not wanting to make eye contact.
Bette sees the reactions from the two of them and decides that maybe she just needs to get this out and let them do what they want with the information. I just know that I need to live in a glass house now if I ever want a chance that Tina will trust me again. I mean I can only imagine that its going to take that kind of transparency for her to see that I have no hidden agendas or secrets. As Bette is saying this out loud her mind immediately comes again to her biggest secret. The one she prays she will never have to reveal to Tina, the MYV Foundation.
Shaking this thought off she continued I should have made myself transparent to Tina back then. I didnt instead I put up walls hiding away parts of myself. How can I give her unconditional love when I have all these walls she cant see through? Bette says this as a theoretical question as she is now plowing ahead.
Guys I became complacent, always expecting Tina to be at my side no matter what I said or did. Thats how we both dealt with what was happening to us. This had the effect of pouring lukewarm water all over our relationship. We would cruise along not hot but not cold either happily doing OK. Does that sound familiar?
As Bette asks this both Alice and Dana start slowly nodding their heads. Out of the corners of their eyes they see each others nod.
I sorry that I have burdened you with my past woos but you guys triggered something in me when you both kind of described your relationship to each other as just OK. It sent up red flags in my mind and well I just love the two of you too much to let it pass. My fervent wish for you both is that you two create that nurturing environment where you both have rich creative possibilities. Where neither of you exploit one another, where mistakes are made and forgiven and most of all where you can bare your souls to each other and have the sense of intimacy and belonging that only comes truly living for the other. As Bette finishes this she is suddenly exhausted and gives a big sigh as she looks to each of her friends to let them know she was done.
Neither Dana nor Alice says anything for a long while letting Bettes words hang in the air as they absorb them and process them each to their own conclusion. Dana was left wondering how much of this tale applied to her but not wanting to go that far and Alice was still trying to reconcile Bette version of events with what had been Tinas account. The effect was that each remained deep in their own thoughts with little communication between them.
This silence continued until their lunch order arrived. Seeing the waitress Bette smiled at her friends I bet you wish she would have come sooner.
Dana looks up as the waitress arrives No Bette that good that you talked But all the while thinking the opposite as Bettes thoughts now had her thinking.
The remainder of the lunch passed quickly, Bette reminded them both about brunch tomorrow at the Planet when they parted at the conclusion of lunch. With thoughts of Bettes conversation staying with both Alice and Dana well after they left Bette for the day, the drive home was quiet as both girls were deep in their own thoughts and meanings.

I really liked Bette’s explanation. I hope it helps A and D. Love this.
I like your Bette and I love your stories thank you so very much
I love how Bette is so opened…GREAT CHAPTER PLEASE POST SOON
OMG Jwet that was simply awesome, Bette has completly stripped herself bare and opened up, my biggest worry is the foundation secret will this be her downfall? I hope not! She has to come clean to Tina about this, she can’t carry this secret about with her as she moves slowly forward on building her relationship with Tina again.
Looking forward to next post Jwet, thank you.
OK WOW!!! awesome, when I read it the first time!! But the 2nd time I’m just pissed off now, WTF why is bette telling them this, when she is lying her ass off to tina about the foundation??? J you better make Bette tell tina, I can’t take this right now. I mean how can she sit there and feel good about herself trying to save A/D relationship. Ok sorry for the harsh comments, it from lots of crying god damm TK’s story, and what it made me do, then there was the no sleep with me having to be at work at 6am, working 12 hours today, so I’m really crabby right now and want to kick bettes ass!!
Ok Jwet, I think brutally honest needs to be added to the soft and squishy. Not a bad thing, only good can come of it for Bette with all her friends seeing the changes she’s made and the lesson’s she has learnt.
I,m afraid Bette needs tp tell Tina about her part in the foundation otherwise the relationship they are trying to build again, is based on a foundation of lies, fess up Bette or this will be your ultimate downfall.great Jwet as usual.
i truly love your insight into relationships and i love theway that you write bette as so insightful and self-reflective
Great and sad. I find myself with techgal, wondering how Tina will take the news if she figures out Bette’s involvement in the foundation.
That was incredable very touching and sadly vary realistic which is what makes you an excellent writter and this an awesome story…oops im getting mushy must have hit a nerve,,lol looking forward to more thanks
wo, deep. can’t wait to see Tina’s reaction to Bette’s secret. Great story.
OH boy…very elucidate chapter..and very sad cuzz this kind of thing coult happen to every one who loves someone VERY MUCH but have fears to open…i´m pretty sure they wont live a lie and to make sure they really will trought every thing and start clean they have to talk and Bette needs to have the same talk to Tina and it better Bette tell about the fundation before Tina knows for herself… Bette has to learn not to hide and show herself cuzz Tina loves her no matter what..thanks really amazing chapter i love it but this is not a secret..lol ;-)
excellent!!! i know someone who should read it!!! ok cya later. Thanks once again.
I’m with Bette&TinaForever. This was simply amazing. But it’s time for Bette to fess up to Tina about the foundation and I hope Tina doesn’t get too angry. Thanks for such a wonderful update! Loved it!
I think you put your soul into this one…it certainly speaks to mine. NC17’s are great…but noting beats gut level honest feelings. This is my fave by far.
Wow good chapter. This is amazing and hope Bette will be honest with Tina about the MYV Foundation. Post soon, thanks!
Hiya Hiya… I love this so much. Thank you for the comments about mine. I swear I don’t know where it comes from. 20 yrs I guess on the job maybe. Still I didn’t know how to write until I started reading your story. OK i admit it. I slept thru English class. Any way the excitement is coming for you story and I can’t wait. Thanks for being such a sweet mentor.
Woo, loved it!! Bette’s depiction of her relationship with Tina was so well written…I was completely blown away!!
“As Bette is saying this out loud her mind immediately comes again to her biggest secret. The one she prays she will never have to reveal to Tina, the MYV Foundation.” Omg, what will happen if Tina ever finds out…eek, hope her reaction is good. I’ll just have to keep on reading, thanks Jwet, wickedly awesome chapter!
I’m concerned that even while in the process of rebuilding Tina’s trust and re-establishing their relationship, Bette’s involvement in the foundation may have laid the seeds of their ultimate undoing. Again.
Gosh, this could be sad.
Thanks for your analysis of what it takes for a relationship to succeed. Something to consider…
I continue to throughly enjoy your story, what a shame Tina wasn’t there to hear Bette’s thought’s, please continue, looking forward to your next chapter.
Hi, I read ch 1-16 this morning, and I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying the story. Hopefully it won’t take me long to get completely caught up…
Great as usual, I absolutely love this story. Can’t get enough of it actually :) Please post again soon.
I got one word for you…wow! That was amazing and I can totally see the Bette on the show explaining her feelings and emotions on why she cheated like that. Awesome.
Better catch up on my story, I’m posting more often, heh. Kidding. Love ya to bits, woo!
This is powerful stuff. I love Bette’s willingness to open up to her friends and try to convince them not to make the same mistakes! But geez, I hope Bette takes her own advice and comes clean with Tina about the Foundation…
