    Author Notes:

    Chapter 65 – Ideas and Beliefs

    In as fast as a nanosecond Bette went from wanting to knock Helenas block off to not knowing if it was her place to do so. The indecision created by those conflicting thoughts prevented Bette from so much as moving. As Tina went to apply new lipstick before she went up to the podium she caught that Helena had said something but didnt hear it and the reaction from Bette was lost upon her.

    With Tina out of ear shot Helena had one more bullet for Bette, Bette, you and I both know Tina is only including you in her life because of Anna, that’s the only tie you have. The other, is only sentimentality and companionship, comfortable like an old shoe. That’s all you are to her. Whereas I am the woman who continues to take her breath away.”

    That thought sent Bette reeling. She need to get out of there and fast, so with that Bette looked at Helena and just shook her head as she turned and made her way for the staircase which lead out doors. As Bette made her retreat she tried to have some semblance of dignity about her as she didnt want Helena to think she was turning and running but in reality her mind was telling her just that. Turn and Run as fast as you can.

    Once Bette reached the exit doors, the cool evening air seemed to stop the pulsing in her ears. Taking a few deep breaths Bette began to regain some of her balance as she suddenly remembered she hadnt driven to this event, Tina had. As this realization hits Bette she begins pacing around outside. As she paces she realizes that a few of the people from the dinner were standing around watching her as they each caught a few puffs during the break before they all entered for the grant award presentations. Bette continued to pace back and forth as she was trying to decide what to do leave or stay. At the moment leaving was strongly winning her internal battle.

    How could she had even begun to think that her and Tina would get back together better than before? If that was what Tina wanted she would have had key conversations long before now. Was it just the strong physical attraction that pulled Tina in? How could she have ever thought she was good enough for Tina? Even Helena knew she wasnt. God what was she thinking Helenas opinions doesnt stand for anything.

    1. dunno- i kinga get Bette’s predicament here. if all is as Jwet has laid out here and Bette is really unsure of her position/place with Tina et el, than i can understand her confusion as to what her role is, with both Tina and in their future. that being the case, i totally get her inability to take Helena head on cause if she is not even certain of her position with Tina, how is she to know Tina’s position with Helena? oh, the wicked tale that Jwet weaves…

    2. Sorry I haven’t been posting recently…like you guys often say, “Life got in the way”…actually it was exams! Gladly they’re over, for now. Can’t wait til B tells ALL to T…MYV included!

    3. Jwet,
      I am so overwhelmed by the way you take take to respond personally to each and every one of us who care enough to comment.
      So this chapter, I felt it was a step back in the development of Bette’s new caring and sharing side. But a necessary one because as you so aptly conveyed she has several secrets that could potentially destroy all of the goodwill between her and Tina at this stage. Also the fact that she isn’t sure of her position with Tina and therefore is unwillingly to overstep the mark with Helena shows just how much a better person she is now.
      This direction is so much more true to life rather than the “Wham, Bam, thank you Ma’am” approach of other authors. I, for one, admire you for taking this chance. Bravo!
      Today’s thoughts and queries are: (bit stumped today after the boxing)
      *Ding* Round Two
      Commentary:
      Hecklesome lets fly with both barrels as The Basher ducks and dives, avoiding all punches. Hell throws a nasty left hook which catches Bette full force on the face. She is reeling and backs away from the action. Her opponent is bobbing in the centre, proclaiming her victory. What’s this? A white towel from the red corner and it’s all over. Bette creeps away. Ready to fight another day as Hel abounds with her seemingly successful bout.
      Does Kit have a column for all of her advice? Will she put in to music for her next album? Will Tina ever find out what Helena said? When will Tina see Bette’s return? Has Alice managed to slip off her Manolo’s to give herself a head start? Was that a starting pistol or a sniper gunning for Helena?
      Babes, you and this story rock!
      More soon as I think a rematch after the air is cleared between Tina and Bette is required.
      As always, your Loyal Fan.

    5. Honestly, I wish Bette decked her a good one, then again, she was at an important event for Tina. I’m glad that Kit verbally slapped Bette on the side of her head to make her talk. And I believe Tina wants Bette to put Hell-no in her place.

      Poor Alice….I’m sure she’ll survive but I can’t wait to see what tortures you have planned for her.

      Again and again, thanks for such a wonderful story!

    6. I just wanted to let you know I am still catching up with your story so I haven’t read this chapter yet…but i’m really enjoying it and I look forward to being up to date…

    7. I understand why Bette didn’t go full steam ahead with Helena and kick her ass to kingdom come!!! but i think that day will come, she has to talk to Tina and get everything ironed out in their relationship once and for all, Bette just has to let all her insecurities go….and talk…now Alice, that was mean what you did. I think Bette should drop kick her ass and score a field goal with her behind.
      Thanks again for all your hard work that must go into producing these chapters day after day Jwet.

    9. I was wondering…did Alice really intend for Helena to change seats with her? Or was she duped or perhaps even did it deliberately to set Helena herself up for a major crash and burn? In any event, if it was out of spite then remember – you reap what you sow.

      I too, think that Bette was wise to walk away. She was not in the right frame of mind to deal with Helena without making a scene, and as other have said it is all about Tina for the night. Better to not cause a scene – even if her motive for leaving was more egocentric.

      As for Helena, her insecurities are are vivid enough for a blind man to see. Her need to lash out at Bette is because she is not confident enough about herself to just let her presence be enough to unsettle Bette.

      Bette and Tina do need to talk about the scope of their relationship and what that all means. If they don’t, then situations like this will only leave them both confused and with an even greater potential for disaster the next time. Great story, I like your titles too, by the way. They always make me interested to see how it plays out!

    10. Yeah Kit you said it sista friend, great save Jwet. Ok now lets move on to one Ms Alice P. make her squirm, she needs to get her s%it together.
      Crossing fingers for the girls whenever Bette has the talk with Tina. Please let it not be a long separation (if Tina’s get very upset by it) there is always great make up sex ;-). Thanks again for a great chapter.

    13. I understand Bette’s feelings and I do think she’s wise to let Helena’s insults fall to the ground. She’s gotta be there for T though.
      Nice chapter.

    15. SO glad Bette decided to go back in and not give Helena that control over her,As for Alice she will think twice before swapping seats again! lol great chapter as always thanks

    16. i know that Tina change and Bette either but the way Bette change is not totally good cuz i´m glad that she change in facts like be more family and suport then but in the other hand she seems weak hopeless and afraid and dont say nothing to Helena when she is insulting her was too much c mom where is the woman how dosent have afraid to fight for what she wants??? she piss me off….amazing chapter really great but stop Bette been such a chicken lol..thanks

    17. Thank you for letting Bette think twice and go back..and she better kick Alice’s ass for setting her up to sit with Helen’a..I think Tina will understand the truth but I think Bette needs to find out how Tina really feels first. Post soon I love your story..

    18. Bette needs to, metaphorically speaking, find her balls. Killing Alice is just a present on top of that.
      However, if she goes all out on the truth, will T be ready to really hear her?

    19. Okay I’m still laughing from OCD’s comment. I loved this story. Have B kick Al’s ass, woo! Patience I have my friend but hurry up already! heh, just kidding, but really not, heh!

    20. OMG i am so mad at Helena. i am going to beat her with a wet noddle in my story. torture her and then drop kick her off the tallest building.

      I can not get enough of this Jwet. I love the way you take us there. Man, I can see it. Like i’m really there. Awesome J.

    22. k yesterday i was growling not i’m howling. please let bette kick her ass. al deserves to not go to the planet for days cuz of what she did. loved the story, but this is like watching the show. so much drama i want the next installment like yesterday. lol. i’m glad bette went back also. please post soon.

    24. I hate to say this, but I think Bette Porter is a real pussy. You don’t let an interloper come between you and your spouse. She should just toss off Helena’s comments and keep going.
      This night is all about TINA. Bette should be there for her, come Hell (ha) or high water! Nothing should come between them.
      Bette needs some empathy for Tina, rather than dwelling in her own feelings all the time.
      It’s not about her.
      Hello?
      Bette, get back to table and suck it up! Winnie said it best, you get to Helena by ignoring her. I know it’s hard, but she has to. Alice is a mere afterthought. The real deal is all about Bette and Tina.
      Thanks for posting another chapter!

    25. Great Chapter Jwet, I now got the feeling that it may be Alice’s tootsies twitchin!!! Can’t wait to see how it all falls into place. Good One Mate, I think Down Low has SOOO muuch to catch up on!! x

    29. Yes, Techgal you definitely have it right. Forget Hellena, she obviously sound like a woman scorned. Can the real Bette please stand up? Hellena’s actions are clearly those of someone jealous of Bette. Maybe if her mother hug her more she wouldn’t be such a bitch. Please let Bette ignore Hellena and realize that if Tina only wanted her in her life for Anna, she could have asked her to babysit and make Hellena her date.
