Tina opened her eyes in time to see Bette wiping a stray tear from her cheek while bowing her head and resting her forehead in her other hand. "Bette?"
"T, I’m sorry. Please, try to understand. I can’t go back to being that person. I can’t cheat again. I lost my whole world the last time."
"But Bette-"
Bette removed her hand from Tina’s grasp and stood, heading for the door. Tina overcame the initial blow of Bette’s snub and began to follow her to the door. Sensing Tina’s presence she turned just as she reached the door and said, "Tina, please. I don’t want to treat Jodi the way I treated you. And I especially don’t want to treat you the way I treated Candace."
Tina forced a smile to her face as she reached behind Bette for the door knob. "Bette," she paused. "I meant what I said earlier. And I do love you." She inhaled as her smile faded. "But don’t you ever compare me to Jodi or Candace again." With that she swiftly opened the door, gestured Bette out and slammed the door shut again leaving Bette stunned on the other side.
Bette spent the time it took walking to her car trying to figure out what the fuck she did wrong. She quickly flipped open her phone and dialed.
"Alice, I need your help. I think I fucked up."
Twenty minutes later at Alice’s apartment…
"You said what?" Alice asked loudly as Bette stood in her living room.
"I told her-"
"No, don’t. Once is enough. Wow. You really put your foot in it this time Porter."
"What is so wrong with what I said?" Bette asked incredulously.
"Are you that dim? Uh, let’s see. ‘No Tina. I cheated on you but I could never do that to Jodi. And even if I did, I would only be thinking of you as a piece of meat, like I did Candace.’ Fuck, Bette. I’m surprised she didn’t slap you!"
Terrible impersonation aside, Alice could see that Bette now understood why Tina reacted so strongly. Or not strongly enough as it turns out.
"Alice, you have to believe me. That is not what I meant."
"Relax. I believe you." Alice sighed as she took a drink of her beer.

In sleep, when the defenses are down, all sorts of truths can be revealed. Dreams, sleepwalking, talking… Just as effective as, say, a half bottle of wine. Looks like Bette’s been rumbled. Ah well, ta-ra Jodes! Can’t say anyone will miss you, dear. Now then, on to the future! Great update, red. Your writing is very good indeed. Post soon! Thanks
oh no u stopped there!!!!! great storytelling i was/am so into it…so u gotta post soon huh? pleaszzzzzzz….
Great story and excellently written! IC and her crew could learn much from you! Your portrayals of their mannerisms, thoughts, reactions, everything is so much like all of them. You write Alice to a tee! I knew Jodi would know that Bette wasn’t saying her name. You have to feel bad for her but there’s no chemistry between them. Or maybe it’s that the chemistry between B&T is so off-the-scale that it makes Bette and Jodi’s chemistry seem more sisterly than lover-like. All I know is I want to puke when I see Bette and Jodi kiss…yuck! Something is just not right there, and with JB being such a talented actress I have to think that their lack of chemistry is intentional. Oh who knows, but I do know that you sure can write. I’ll be waiting for your next post!
“The question of the night. The question of a lifetime.” There’s no questioning the bound there is between Tina and Bette, they’ve been sidetracked a bit, that’s all. Your writting is a delight to read, and I like this flirting side of Tina. Tina seducing Bette is going full circle in their story. Thank you for a great chapter.
Excellent chapter. I really am enjoying this story.
Wonderful story – beautifully written
This story makes me worried that I talk in my sleep. LOL!
WOW!!!! That was a wonderful chapter. Thanks PPS
Loved The Graduate reference (here’s hoping that IC has a “what now” resolution in store for Jobette too). I also love your balanced portrayal of Bette and Tina; both are sympathetic (and flawed) in equal measure. And thanks for giving the Bette/Alice friendship the attention it deserves. I wish you were writing for the show!
I know I don’t talk in my sleep which is probably good, cos I know I would have got my face slapped a few times. I’m always for B&T getting together, at least it appears that Jodi knew her time with Bette was only temporary. I also agree with Tina and Alice, that comparison of Bette’s sucked.
Great story, lovely writing. Thank you.
So Jodi knew all along that Bette and Tina were special and that some day they would find that road back to each other. A very bumpy road but a road back anyway.
So I wonder what Bette has been mumbling in her sleep?! I always root for B&T and this story is no different! Thanks for the update, wonderful. PPS
this chapter was such a delight to read (alice/bette dialog was so real and entertaining)…it’s sort of gives you hope and then takes it away and then gives it to you again…i still think though that it can go either way…thank you
This is indeed a great story: very good characterazing, sensitivity, deep emotions. But don’t leave us too long hanging in there.
I am rereading this story and it still made me cry. How much do you have to love someone to SEND them to someone else? Really think Bette’s overly developed ability to see visual art takes away from her ability to communicate verbally. Thankfully we have Alice to draw her a picture.
That was awesome!
