    Chapter 69 – Piercing the Shield

    Now Tina looked hard at Bette as she knew this was an
    act.  This was more in line with the old
    Bette, the one who revealed little and only what she had too.  What made Bette revert back to this?  Had she upset her so that Bette wasnt going
    to even fight?  Tina was trying to find
    the fight in Bette.  That was her only
    hope of knocking Bettes game face off. 
    Somehow Tina knew if she didnt she would never get through to
    Bette.  It must have been Helenas embrace.  But didnt Bette see how she rebuffed it?

    Oh so this is how you want to play it?  Some one comes along and makes a pass at me
    and youre going to lie down and let it happen huh?  Some how I never pegged you as a quitter
    Bette. Tina says in an accusing voice.

    I dont really see it so much as quitting as just yielding
    to a greater power. Bette counters in an almost off handed way.  As Bette is saying this she is almost
    stifling a yawn as if she was bored and ready to move on. 
     

    The nonchalantness of Bettes reply was goading Tina as she
    now clenched her fists.  Her anger was
    back and it put added force behind her words. 
    Bette I dont know what power there is on earth thats stronger than
    the connection that you and I have.  You
    had better start explaining to me what the ***** is going on because Im not
    going anywhere until you do.

    Bette realizes that Tina is becoming very angry.  She can see it in the flare of her nostrils
    and the way she almost stamped her foot for emphasis at her last
    statement.  Realizing that she couldnt
    bluff Tina way, Bette changed her tactics. 
    Well Tina, you know we never said anything about being exclusive.  I dont know about you but I plan on playing
    the field.  Didnt you?  I mean it just appears you beat me to
    it.  Bette says as she is struggling to
    keep her voice detached and calm.

    What are you talking about? 
    What field?  Im not playing anyone
    and that includes YOU! Tina says in a controlled, tight voice that was just short
    of a scream.

    At this Bette shrugged Well I cant blame you.  I mean Helena
    can be a very exciting individual and well I am something like a well worn pair
    of jeans, comfortable and easy to wear. 
    I can understand how you might be torn. Bette says now as she turns way
    from Tina and heads into the living room.

    Tina cant believe what she is hearing as Bette turns away,
    Tina closes the door and follows her. 
    Are you telling me that you think I want to be with Helena? Tina asks in an almost incredulous
    voice.

    Once again Bette just shrugs and doesnt even turn to face
    Tina.  With that Tina grabs Bettes arm
    turning her to face her.  With the feel
    of Tinas touch Bette jumps, belying her carefree act.  Dont touch me! Bette says looking at Tina.

    Bette what part of my telling Helena to go to ***** did you not see.  I want nothing to do with that woman.  I was crazy to think that I could have a
    working relationship with that woman. 
    She seems to always have to cross the line into out of bounds territory.  I actually regret inviting her to the dinner
    but I had to at least try and see if she could demonstrate professional
    behavior.  Apparently she left you with
    the impression that there is something between us.  There is not. Tina says all this with the
    utmost conviction.

    Bette seems to have no words after Tina says this.  She once again shrugs.  Tina is now beginning to get sick of this
    shrugging behavior.  Listen Bette, I
    dont know what game you are playing here but Im here to tell you that there
    is nothing between Helena
    and I but history.  Now as far as you go
    I would like a lot of things to be between us but if you arent even interested
    enough to fight for me well than maybe its a good thing for me to find out
    right now before you hopelessly hurt me again. Tina screams as she has had
    enough of Bettes act.

    1. Jwet,
      How could you leave me hanging like this?
      Bette is completely wrapped up in her own observations and mindset and doubts. She is building the walls around her fortress as a mean of protecting her heart. This may prevent anyone getting in but it also stops you from getting out too. Unfortunately in life there are always at lest versions of the truth: Mine, yours and the absolute objective truth.
      Tina need to find that lose brick and gently tug in out. Then the walls will come tumbling down and Bette will have to face reality. Good things and bad things happen to all of us. The only thing we can truly control is how we face and deal with them.
      I do like the way you have let Bette slip into her bad habits of old. I am never convinced of a complete 180 deg turn about in a person. This keeps the dram quotient high and realistic.
      Hats off to you for the courage of making things difficult between these characters. I do trust that you have a purpose for this direction and will be watching to see what happens next.
      Queries include:
      Can Alice find truffles with that nose of hers? Does she spoil the Easter egg hunt using it? Has Tina been a police officer in a previous incarnation with shoulders of steel? Is Tina related to Superman? Has Bette gone deaf, dumb and blind? Does Tina have her JCB license as I think she will need it to knock down those walls?
      Why do you always get a bit of apple stuck between your teeth, which takes all day to remove after plenty of sucking sounds?
      Can’t wait for tomorrow’s installment: Tina Fights On!!
      Your Loyal Fan

    2. Was that only 2 pages? I think your chapters have to be 10 pages or more! The drama….I like seeing this Tina! Go Tina, Go Tina.

      Thanks, Jwet. I like your verison much more! Can’t wait for the next chapter.

    3. Good Lord ! Sort them out Jwet ! People are so stuborn in the face of love, one wonders why, life is so short ! Thank you – it is always a pleasure.

    6. j j j wet wet wet (hoping you are hearing the horror that is Betty). you are killing me. you best be posting one mighty quickly. at some point bette has got to get her fire back. not overwhelming kind of fire but enough to give her the strength she needs to just accept that its good and gonna get better for them, right? tina i belive must be smart enough to “hear” what bette is saying. she needs her to just say it loud and clear. oh the drama.

    9. What did the Foundation ever do to Alice that she is so hell bent on bringing it down by exposing the founder that has made it clear they want to remain anonymous? There is investigative reporting and there is nosy and insensitive…Alice has crossed the line towards the latter. I hope whatever ‘funny’ you have planned for her includes either her inability to type or laryngitis – preferrably, both.

      Well, what do you know…I looked up the definition of stubborn and low and behold there was a picture of Bette next to it!! Tina may be getting a spine, but she also needs to get a clue as well. Hurt trumps common sense everytime.

      “Alex, I’ll take ‘What do Bette and Tina need to do to get back on track’ for $500″…and the answer is…communication and trust!

      Please continue…just be careful with our TiBette hearts.

    12. WOW, tina’s grew some kahunas!!!! love the story. hope you post tomorrow. i am leaving for vacation tomorrow night. six days with my girl and NO computer, bummer. she is trilled!!! i have turned into such the addict with all of this wonderful writing. i love it though.

    15. Oh that darned rollercoaster, *breath, breath, ok its working, deep breath…right* Bette needs to become vulnerable at this very moment, forget super cool, super sexy (just for a split second) she needs to be super vulnerable and super honest, then she’ll become oh so super sexy and super cool once again. Tina, open your F**kin eyes, this woman in front of you is hurting like hell – see it, believe it and for god sake do something about it! Tell her you love her goddamit!!! *breath out…..ah……its now off the ample chest*

    23. i dont even know what to say..but i think Tina is right WTF is going on with Bette why she act like a coward??? she said that she has fear to lose Tina and Anna but the way she is going that will gonna happen… but i always have faith on her and i hope Tina as well amazing chapter youre the best ;0)

    24. No, no, nooo. This is not how it’s supposed to unravel. Why are you doing this to me? Have I offended thee? Please, don’t bring the old Bette back. UUUgh! Sometimes I wish I could just write myself into your story, walk up to Bette and shake her! Why is she still so affraid of being vulnerable to Tina? There has to be some other deep seated issue to keep her from not trusting Tina…that’s my only logic for it. Well hope you post soon.

    25. i remember someone saying to me once in a comment (i think that it was Amanda) “why are you reading this? you should be off writing another chapter.” as i now realize the value of her instruction, i will offer the same to you. get back to it!

    27. Ooo… I love it, it’s like a race… who is gonna find out first Tina or Alice… And that last comment was perfect, my ex would do the exact same thing to get me to stop acting like a 5 year old.

    28. oh man!!!! down the road!!! I already put my seat on!!!!! here we go!!! can’t ait. I’m off now… at least fo a few days… Jwet just to make sure you know: you’re amazing! bye drama’s queen
