Bette looked at Alice with the expression of a child lost in a store searching for it’s mother. Alice pulled her into a warm embrace and let her cry.
——————————————
The next morning came too early for Bette. She and Alice had stayed up til the wee hours commiserating about Tina and Tasha respectively. She had just barely come out of the shower when her doorbell rang. She hurried to grab a bath robe and ran for the door while throwing it on. When she opened it she found Tina standing there holding Angie as promised. Bette’s eyes sparkled as she reached for Angie. "Hi Boo." She cooed. "Did I miss you." Angie squealed with delight as her Mama B hugged her and smothered her with kisses.
Tina looked on smiling with genuine affection as she watched the mother and child reunion unfolding before her. "T, come in. Please. I’d like to talk to you if you have a minute."
"Well, actually I don’t. I have a meeting in 15 minutes so I’ve gotta get going. Bye Angie. I’ll see you in a few days ok? You be good for your Mama B." She kissed her head which brought her dangerously close to Bette’s face. She quickly retreated.
"Tina?"
Tina turned to look at Bette and smiled warmly. "It’s ok, Bette. Things were said. Wine was lifted. And it’s occurred to me that I may have over-reacted. Let’s just let it simmer. Things will probably look different in a few days. We won’t even remember what we talked about." She gave a half-hearted laugh knowing she was lying. She was still a little embarrassed by her confession and more than a little hurt by Bette’s sense of duty towards Jodi.
Bette was left standing in the doorway with a puzzled look on her face as she held Angie.
The next week went by quickly as Bette spent a lot of time with Angie, and also catching up with the gang at the Planet. Tina had been a little withdrawn at first but gradually eased back into her old self. The Angie hand-offs graduated to long coffees together. They’d even had dinner once or twice. They were able to talk and joke about everything. Almost everything. Any talk of ‘that night’ had been taboo. Tina always gently refused to discuss what was said and Bette eventually stopped trying.

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!
