Great Unexpectations Chapter 20
Bette smiled in admiration. "Ok, time out. I know you’re still pissed at me, but can I just say…That was really hot. You are quite the bad ass, Miss Kennard."
"You should know", Tina flirted, despite her mood. "Ok. Time in", she said, getting back to business.
Bette straightened her smile, in a fruitless attempt to conceal it completely. Trying to let Tina know that, as the wronged party, she was absolutely in control at the moment. Tina rolled her eyes, trying to fight off her own smile. She could never fool Bette. "You’re not off the hook, ya know. You still have some explaining to do."
"I know, T. That’s why I’m here. But… can I get a hug first?", she asked with pleading eyes. Tina looked into her big dark pools and could not resist. She hooked her finger and beckoned Bette to her. Tina opened herself to accept a warm tight hug. She wrapped her arms around Bette’s neck and inhaled the sweet smell of her hair. "God, Bette. You can’t do that. Ever. You can’t shut me out like that."
Bette nodded while a tear escaped down her cheek. "I know, Tina. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry." Tina whispered into Bette’s ear. "I wish us forgiveness too."
Bette drew back from the hug and looked into Tina’s moist smiling eyes. Tina leaned up to kiss the lips that were just centimeters above the dark trembling chin. Bette was awash in a feeling of warmth and love as she savored the taste of Tina. The smell of Tina. The feel of Tina.
Tina reluctantly pulled away from the kiss. "OK. Now talk", she ordered. Bette nodded with a smirk. She talked. She told Tina about the print at Faye’s house. About the bizarre dream. About Richard holding Tina and Tina enjoying it. About the fawn/Faye convincing Bette that she was remembering things wrong. About everything she’d learned from James. All of it. She told Tina everything. And then waited expectantly for Tina’s reaction.
Tina sat in a daze. Processing all of the information. Formulating her own questions. "Jesus", was all she could muster. They sat in the cozy silence that complete honesty affords. Bette was so relieved to now have a partner in this unfolding mystery.

Great story Redhorse. An interesting tangent to take the Tibette story.
Take-charge Tina and contrite Bette are a wonderful combination. Poor James with his unwanted admirer; that would be an intriguing story in itself. I can’t wait to see how the Faye Buckley mystery unfolds.
Wow! You had me on the edge of my seat. I’m still confused why Faye wants B&T’s help. Bette is so romantic. I loved the text messages and flowers. My kind of woman! PPS!!
Redhorse, Do not worry about how long or how short. This story just keeps getting better and better. I can not wait to find out how B&T can help find her daughter. Great Chapter Thanks PPVS
Gotta love James. ;) And how cute were all those flowers and that message? :D
First off, super happy that Bette and Tina are back on track. That is my first priority when readng this story. Its why I love it. Second, I’m kind of shocked at the revelation. Is her daughter some lesbian Bette screwed back in the day? Can’t imagine why else she would need their help..and even that doesn’t make sense as to why Bette could help her. I hope its not that..and I hope her daughter isn’t any of the crew in the story so far. I’ll wait and see what you have up your sleeve.
Wow, Cora. Is she the same girl that was in the video the first season? How does Faye think that Bette and Tina can help her get her daughter back? Very interesting, and provocative. Can’t wait to read more of this enthralling tail.
Wow Red that was an amazing chapter too! I’m so glad that Bette opened up to Tina. Loved your suttle humor when Tina asked, “”Bette? You know that Richard thing would never happen, right? Never.”and Bette looked at Tina with a warm smile and replied “I know Tina.”” For some reason, this and the flowers being sent to Tina every half hour really got me laughing. I almost feel sorry for Faye (almost) because she is a rare breed – there aren’t many people that will admit that they were wrong, especially when it is about something like this; and Faye is actually trying to correct her mistake. So I have to give her props for that, but I still have the attitude that she kind of asked for the problems she is having. I hope that Tina and Bette will help her find her daughter. Loved the “forgiveness” text that Bette sent Tina…so sweet. And Tina’s right. She shouldn’t shut Bette out when she’s trying to apologize…and Bette shouldn’t block Tina out like that. Thanks Red! PPS!
Good that they talk and good that Faye tell them the true!
Again with all the pages? I don’t get it. Sorry, once more, if you have been misled to think this was a longer read.-red
Great story, lets hope Faye finds her daughter, as she is trying to redeem herself. Love the B&T interaction. Post again soon.
Thanks you APW. Great chapter. Great job getting B&T back on track. Loved the James sequence. You do such a good job with the balance of auxillary characters, and maintaining your pacing. Looking forward to the next chapter, not quite ready to feel sorry for Faye.
I love long chapters IF they contain substance like yours does. Very intriguing and exciting. Please continue, totally enjoyable. Love Bette’s show of contrition. Tina definitely wears the pants in that family.
The number of pages don’t matter Red, just the content. And, what content! Great chapter by the way but, please don’t make me feel sorry for bitch buckley. I knew she was up to soemthing but no this request. Is she dying and wanting to make everything right with her daughter now. what kind of monster is she anyway? well, I already know the answer to that question. And I don’t for one minute believe that she has had a change of heart. Great story Red. PPS
okay…. I admit it…. I would be watching too. Another wonderful chapter! I love the apologetic Bette… so vulnerable and charming. As much as it surprises me, I believe Faye is sincere, but can’t get how B&T could help find Cora. Seems as though she is perhaps sick and wanted this to come out in her will instead…
I hope you didn’t take the “cruel” comment to heart. I meant it light-heartedly. I love this story and your writing. I actually didn’t see the Cora thing coming. I can’t wait to see how Bette and Tina fit into the puzzle.
You have a great Story going. It becomes interessing and mysterie from Chapter to Chapter. Great writing. Can’t wait for the next update. Post soon.
Don’t worry about the amount of pages. The story reads quickly because it’s great. Ok, what is B&T the lost and found. Buckley has enough money to hire a team of detectives, why go to B&T. I know it will come later (lol), but you did say it will probably raise more questions. Thanks for the post.
Ah, the start of the big reveal… I’m glad Faye wants to find Cora, something she should have started doing, oh, I dunno, *immediately after seeing her daughter’s face adorning the box of a bloody porno flick*, but I think she’s mistaking Bette and Tina for David & Maddie. B & T are the supercouple extraordinaire, yes, but detectives, they are not. Bette making it up to Tina was quite nice, though. No more withholding for them, I hope. Great chapter, and I’m not fussed about length, cos I’ll read anything you write. More soon please. Thanks, red.
Fascinating–you are just reeling us in. I love reading your story, and it is a tribute to your writing that I am warming up to Faye Buckley. In fanfic, Faye can be redeemed. However, I hope it’s OK if the Faye Buckley of the Canon is an evil woman.
with all her assets she can’t find Cora…
