"Well, don’t say it like that", Bette teased. " ‘Right now’. This is just the beginning. Don’t doubt that ok?"
"I don’t. Not anymore", Tina said leaning up for a kiss. A kiss that Bette happily endorsed. The sensation of Tina’s lips on her lips and Angie’s head on her shoulder was perhaps the closest to heaven Bette had felt in years. If ever.
Tina felt it too. Looking at her daughter sleeping so soundly against Bette’s body. Angie’s tiny fingers entangled in Bette’s long dark curls.
Her head buried in the crook of Bette’s neck. In her mind Bette was already her wife again. In her mind they’d already committed themselves to each other for the rest of their lives. In her mind was all she dared. For now.
She gazed on her wife and daughter and was struck with a memory. Horror. Shame. She left the sofa and walked briskly to the kitchen. She opened the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and searched momentarily for that familiar shape. Finding the sleeve of frozen bagels, she rolled her eyes, remembering her actions from that very morning. She closed the freezer door and walked to the trash bin. She unceremoniously dumped the bagels into their new hovel, never to be seen from again.
Bette’s back was to the kitchen so she did not see what happened. But she knew the freezer door had opened. She’d heard the sound of something wrapped in plastic being removed and taken to the trash. She smiled as she correctly guessed what Tina was up to. "Yeah. That was pretty harsh, Tina. A bit uncalled for", she chided mockingly.
Tina’s mouth dropped in panic, trying to piece together a sentence or at least a few measly words to express her remorse. She walked up behind the sofa and reached down to Bette’s free shoulder. Bette put her hand on Tina’s and gently pulled her down and kissed her on the cheek. "Tina. I had that bagel coming to me. I was so… stupid. I’ve been waiting so long for ‘my’ bed to be ‘our’ bed and then what do I do? I sleep outside. By the pool. I’m sorry."
Tina smirked. "So, you were just giving me a hard time a minute ago, weren’t you?"

You made my night with this post! I love this story. Mr. Buckley….hmmm…what ya got cookin’ there redhorse? Faye is in pretty bad shape & as much as I was happy that Tina gave her the “smack down” at the Planet, you now have me feeling sorry for her. Oh, you read that correctly…It’s your fault that I actually have **dare i say it?***”Compassion” for Faye! I guess that’s the best compliment I can give you, Red. Your writing is so good, that I want Bette and Tina to help Faye find Cora. **which I know is exactly what you wanted, right?** Ciao.
Aww. Loved the family time. And the hot ending.
Seems the masses concur that this post was fabulous – who am I to disagree? LOL. I knew you still had some cleverity up your sleeve, Mr. Buckley, indeed! So a victory on the boards and on the baseball field, seems like lady luck is smiling on you Red! PPmoreS
Absolutely wonderful! Thanks!
Wonderful, Red!!
God, I love these two. What a perfect ending to an rather depressing and sad day. They will help cos thats just who they are, bit worried about Mr. Buckley.
Love this story. You write beautifully.
LMAO Bette reminds me of the Old Man from “A Christmas Story” and how badly he wanted just a little bite of turkey.
This story gets more intriquing with each chapter. Mr Buckley, the evil and horrible excuse of a man needs to have his gonads cut off and hung up to be viewed by all. On the other hand Bette and Tina have such a closeness even after all that they have been through.
Great chapter!
That was really quite heart-warming, lovely really. I wonder what they’ll decide about Faye and Cora, cos I worry about that “Mr Buckley”… quite a bit, actually. Just in case I haven’t mentioned it, I love this story, red. Thanks for the chapter.
And here’s how well your writing sticks, red: I was just in the shop and went through the aisle with all the alcohol in, passed the shelf full of Jose Cuervo and immediately thought of Faye Buckley singing, which made me laugh out loud. Of course I got looks, it being a weekday before lunch and standing tittering to myself in front of the tequila, but ah well. Yeah, good times. Again, thanks!
Great chapter! They are so sweet and loving to each other. I hope Mr. Buckley isn’t going to be a big problem. PPS!!
What a beautiful family, and what a perfect interlude before Mr. Buckley enters the picture. If she wants their help, Faye needs to tell Bette and Tina the full truth about her ex.
Brilliant, continue soon
