Great Unexpectations Chapter 1
Upon returning the phone to her own ear she would give Bette just enough time to say "Thanks T." before creating some excuse to get off the phone. Someone’s at the door, Angie’s into something, the pasta is boiling over. Any excuse to get off the phone. Anything to avoid hearing how happy Bette and Jodi were. The images she had as she tried to sleep at night were hard enough. She didn’t really need them confirmed by Bette’s own words.
"Tina, maybe I should go home. You look tired. We can talk tomorrow."
Bette paused, not sure if she should continue. " Can I just say though, I’m kind of hurt that you haven’t even asked how things went. I mean, you were right there with me. Helping me. You even gave me the perfect words. Aren’t you the least bit curious?"
Tina sported her brightest smile and did her best to sound cheerful. "I’m not curious at all. It’s obvious it worked. Besides, Jodi would have to be an idiot not to fall to your charms. When you want something Bette, you usually get it. I’m happy for you. Both of you." That last bit made her want to empty her stomach, but Tina Kennard was a trooper.
Bette smiled widely and stood to leave. Tina rose as well and was quickly taken into a warm embrace. "Thanks T", said Bette as she kissed her cheek. "I’ll let you get back to work now, or to bed, or whatever." Bette realized she was rambling a little. The close proximity to Tina suddenly had her head swimming.
As Tina watched Bette make her way to the door she listened in shock as she heard her own voice slowly call out, "Wait. I’m sorry. You’re right. I have been acting weird lately." What the hell are you doing Tina? Now is not the time. " I need to ask you something. Do you remember the words I said to you on the phone? The night before-"
"Yes, of course." Bette interrupted. " Well most of them anyway. I might not have the exact words but it was: ‘I should never have let you go. I would do anything for a second chance. And, I’m not afraid to make a fool of myself.’ But T, actually I didn’t even need them-"
This time it was Tina who interrupted. Not with a word but with her hand. She held up her right hand while looking down and wincing. Not really needing the details right now, Bette.
Bette stood still trying to interpret her meaning. Tina looked as if she was in pain. Bette bent over trying to lock with Tina’s eyes. "Are you ok Tina?"
Tina didn’t answer the question because in actuality she hadn’t even heard it. She looked up and faced Bette squarely. "Well, I’m glad you didn’t use them Bette. Those words weren’t for Jodi. They were for you."

Good start, I have wanted to know what Bette’s reaction would be if Tina told her the truth………..PPS
WOW ! What a great start.Hope you post more soon.Thanks ;)
Oh, this such a good start. If only this would happen in season 5. Please continue!
Happy Tina came to her senses and said something to Bette. Great start. PPS
Great start. You must continue.I do believe this is a little how it’s going to end up.. although not so quickly. I think that either Jodi will realise that B&T still have intense emotion for each other and force Bette into going back to her. OR B&T will move on, and finally close the chapter on their relationship.. giving them both a chance to move on – Bette with Jodi and Tina with someone new. I do believe that if the latter happens IC will have them dicuss the end of thier relationship. That’s how I see it in my head, although I could be completely wrong :) Anyway, post more! Soon!
wow that was the bomshell she dropped on bette hopefully bette will open her eyes and see what’s right in front of her.. pps
Great Beginning!!!I can’t wait to see Bette’s reaction. I hope it will be a good one.
Yeeeeesss! Finally what should of happened/ what should’ve been said at the end of S4. PPS. The ball’s in your court, Bette. PPS.
Weeeeeeee! I don’t think I was clear enough, so I will say it again. Weeeeeeeeeee!
So, so, so good – please post soon. I love this story! :)
I like this Bette who catches the subtle nuances of what is happening around her – it shows how she has changed while still remaining the same, if that makes sense. Looking forward to where you’re headed with this. Great job on your first efforts!! PPS
Ding ding ding, folks we have a winner, introducing the brand new S5 writer of the L word………I wish!!
Wow! :) Great!
I like the start of this one. Please post soon.
That’s it Tina, start as you mean to go on. No beating round the bush. Ace! I am intrigued, redhorse. Post soon.

Yey…a new season five story!! And, a fabulous start at that!! Thanks!
ohh wow right on!!
How could you possibly think this would suck?? Brilliant beginning… would love to see it on the show.
Awesome start. Bette will be shocked, but lets see if she’s willing to face her true feelings. I mean, she’s making love with Jodi but thinking its Tina. Hello, big sign, far bigger and more of a statement than 17 Reasons.
A terrific beginning. I think Mr. Dickens would approve.
That was great!
Wow, I love the story already, pps. I can’t wait for Bette’s response.
way 2 go…hope honesty pays off…i so do not like bette with jodi or anyone other than t…pps
Lovely start. I really like the scene with the shampoo and familiar scents. Please all powerful writer, do not dash our hopes against the rocks. Help Tina and Bette find their way back to each other…More , please, soon?
This is a great and promising beginning. Please go on.
Great Start!!! I am a long for the ride!!!!! PPS
Yes a happy story is what is needed. I like how you have Tina finally verbalizing what she should have said all along. Now let’s see what Bette’s response will be.
GRAT START!!!!I hope That can take placein Season 5!!!PPS
