    Author Notes:

    Season 5ish. Tina awaits Bette’s decision.

    They took Angie to her room and readied her for bed. They put her down and Tina tucked her in while Bette perused the shelf for a good-night book. As she was looking over her choices Tina gently brushed her arm. "She’s out", she smiled. "Already?", Bette asked, a little disappointed. Tina nodded with a smile. They kissed their Angel, wished her sweet dreams and quietly left the room.

    Bette led Tina by the hand back through the hallway into the living room. She refilled Tina’s wine glass and urged her to sit down. Bette gently leaned down and whispered into her ear, "Thank you for dinner."

    Tina leaned up to catch her lips but was gently refused. "You stay here T, I’ll take care of the dishes."

    Tina took hold of Bette’s arm as she attempted to leave for the kitchen. She began speaking timidly, "Bette, I’m sorry. I know I promised you all the time you need, and you have it, you do. But,… is there anything I can do or say to make this easier for you. I feel you pull away from me and I just want to know what you’re thinking. What’s scaring you? How can I help?"

    Bette stood up and looked at Tina’s sad eyes that were threatening tears. "Tina, I …I don’t know what to do. I’m trying. It’s just…some things are hard to get past. But I’m trying. I just…", she didn’t know how to finish. "I’m going to take care of the dishes."

    Tina was left on the sofa dejected and doubtful that Bette would ever be able to get past her pain and fear. All the remorse she ever had for the mistakes of their past were now exponentially multiplied. She drank her wine and laid her head back on the sofa and tried not to cry.

    In the kitchen Bette reflected on the events of the past two weeks. She smiled as she remembered Tina’s confession upon her return from New York. She went back further in her memory remembering Henry, Helena, Candace, the miscarriage. Her smile quickly left and tears formed. They had both lived through so much pain. Most of it self-inflicted. But then she smiled as she remembered their first seven years. The memories she had struggled with earlier now came flooding back. Their first kiss. Their first date. Their first morning after. The thousands of mornings after that followed. She turned on the dishwasher and prepared her words as she walked back to the living room.

    Tina was still on the sofa with her eyes closed, head leaning back as Bette began speaking.

    "Things fall apart. They fall apart so hard." she said with a heavy sigh of resignation.

    "Bette?" Tina said as she was roused from her contemplation.

    "We can’t ever put them back the way they were."

    "Are you ok?" Tina asked.

    "Sorry", Bette continued. "It’s just…you know. It takes time. You can’t just have coffee and dinner and expect-"

    "I know", Tina bowed her head, feeling ashamed for pushing so hard.

    "There’s just so much to work through," Bette continued. "Trust has to be built again. On both sides. You have to learn if we’re even the same people we were. If you can fit in each other’s lives. It’s a long, important process." Bette paused briefly before continuing.

    "Let’s just skip it.  Let’s just be kissing now."

     

    TBC?

     

    of course to be continued.  would i do that to you? -rh

    2. “Bette followed Tina’s glance and found the dish cloth, full of betrayal that it was, looking up at her smugly.” I love your writing!! Please continue soon!

    4. How many cold showers must they endure? The slow build makes total sense given all their baggage (Henry!), but in the end they should heed Janis’s advice.

    6. Hey Red great post! I think Tina knows what’s going on with Bette. Bette shouldn’t be afraid to tell Tina what’s going on, and Tina shouldn’t shut down on Bette. They have to be able to talk to each other about their fears and other bad feelings as well as their good feelings. I loved your take off of Willow and Tara’s conversation (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) there at the end Red! Sweet! I’m lovin’ it! More please!

    11. Yeah, that Henry thing would be difficult to hack through. Bette never doubted her own sexuality as an adult. She’s nervous that Tina will have another itch? PPS.

    13. It feels right that they would have to rebuild their relationship slowly to be solid again, and learn to be together again. And I love to read your description of this seduction game, it’s slow sweet torture, it’s pleasure!

    14. bette was right, they both went through a lot and tina also needs to forget a lot, so maybe skipping it and go back to kissing is the best idea, they can talk between kisses
