Goodbye My Lover, Chapter 2
“We’ve come so far, let’s not mess this up.” Tina pleaded. The echo of a time past filled the air.
“Us being together as a couple is hardly messing things up from my point of view.” Bette huffed; insulted that’s how Tina phrased it. “I thought that what we had and could still have is as good as it gets.”
‘I’m not ready for what you are proposing. Let’s just focus on being good mothers to Angel. If you need something more from someone else go for it. Being alone and focusing on Angel is enough for me right now. I don’t expect you to do the same.” Tina declared with much more bravado than she really felt.
Bette looked at her long and hard. Tina found it suddenly hard to swallow. Knowing Bette as well as she did she could almost see the thoughts that passed through her mind. She knew that Bette understood her resolve and while she hated it, she accepted it. Bette turned so Tina did not see the tears that filled her eyes and pretended to take a new look at the space. After a while Bette spoke and offered comments on how Tina could use the various spaces to create a home for Angelica and Tina. It was a bittersweet tour. It ended with Bette congratulating Tina and expressing her pleasure that they would be neighbors. For all the words and motions Tina was not fooled, the enthusiasm that Bette expressed never reached her eyes and that was always the truest way to read one Bette Porter.
***
Bette watched as Angelica and Tina played together in the pool. Angelica was quite the fish and loved to float on her own in the water with her wings. Tina chased Angie who was skilled in maneuvering and eluding Tina’s grasp. It was a bitter sweet moment. She loved seeing them together yet felt sorrow for what could have been.
“Lunch is ready. Shall I serve it here or would you like to come inside.”
Tina looked up, brushed the wet hair from her eyes and locked eyes with Bette. “Out here would be good. I’m starved. What about you Angel, are you hungry?”

Aw man you stopped there? This is good. Why is Tina fighting it? And when Bette does get the hint and try to move on she will lose her mind with jealousy…please post soon.
what a good story! I’m with skycaptain, why is Tina fighting it? please keep it going.
Dang it, when are they both going to realize that there is nobody out there that can love her the way that they both do. Bette definitely would take Tina back in a heart beat. I get the impression that Tina is trying to make sure that she is really ready to get back with Bette if that is the road that she takes (at least I hope so).
Great!! Thanks!

Come on Tina don’t be stupid and fighting it. Bette is amazing and don’t let her go!
“Once Angelica discovered French fries through Alice she refused to eat any other food unless she also got fries… ” LOL, that was a very cute touch.

Maybe Tina will realize they belong back together, and make a statement at the hearing. You know if things get tough. They belong together we know that, how come no one else sees that. IC we mean you.
