Bette lay there, silent, for what seemed an eternity. She processed the words and tried to determine how she felt about them.
"Ok, Tina", Bette began, speaking in a tone that balanced both anger and sadness. "I understand. But I need you to understand something. While you were off feeling ‘safe’, I was left behind. I lost everything. I lost you. I was losing Angie. I had no career to speak of. I had to sell off my art collection piece by piece just to stay afloat. And the way you did it just made me feel like maybe I never meant that much to you. That was the hardest thing. It just seemed so easy for you to leave. Like our time together wasn’t even real to you."
"Bette, it was real. It was so real it scared the hell out of me."
"I’m sorry that I couldn’t make you feel safe. The way he did."
"Babe, let me explain what ‘safe’ meant to me back then. It meant not getting hurt. It meant not being so attached that losing him would hurt. That’s all it was."
"But you said you were thinking of planning a family with him."
"When? In Canada?" Tina inhaled and exhaled sharply as she remembered that awful day. "Telling you that you couldn’t adopt Angie, Bette, that was possibly the cruelest thing I’ve ever done. I’m so sorry for that. I was just so angry and hurt. We had spent a wonderful day together. Remember? We took Angie for that sleigh ride, and we were kind of connecting again. I’ve never told anyone this, but you could have had me that night. If you had made just one move, I would have been all over you. I wanted you so bad. I thought it was all over my face. I hated saying goodbye to you in the hallway of the hotel. And then the next day I got that fax about the custody suit and I just snapped."
"Jesus", Bette sighed. "I really know how to fuck things up, don’t I?"
"Sure. Take all the credit", Tina smiled.
Bette smiled, wiping her eyes. "Ok, no more talking. This is a lot to take in."
"Bette, are you ok?"

i hope tina will bring a lot of her things…it might be too soon but they need to deal with that together, and angie seems happier too :)

You have excellent writing ability. Your English teacher was correct, you do have a wy with words even if it is to write lesbian soft porn. *smirk* It’s a tough job (seriously) to write NC-17s well. Please continue w/the s/l b/c it is very interesting. PPS.
I am so happy to read this chapter Ms. Red. Wonderful . PPS
Tina needs to go get the U-HAUL and drag Alice’s nosy ass to help her move back into Porter-Kennard kingdom. Nuf said! LUV’d THIS POST!
You deserve more than just a nomination! You write beautifully.
They are lucky Alice didn’t show up before now! Talk about hell on wheels! LOL! I wonder if Alice was waiting for Tina to leave or if it just seemed that way with her showing up just afterwards. What a great post Red! Your writing is absolutely brilliant. It was beautiful the way you had Bette telling Tina how much her C-Section scar means to her. Their talk of the past was hard but they need to do that…and it’s good they are doing it in spurts. Thanks for writing Red and please post soon!
Loving your story – just got back into town and on line for the first time in weeks and your story was a wonderful thing to find. You really capture the loving tone that makes me care about these two characters – thanks so much for your humor and sweetness in your storytelling. You definitely deserve to be nominated.
What a great ending!! Loving this story, PPS
That was awesome!
You made my morning. I was unable to continue with my own sleep so I read this story. Now I know that today will be a good day.
Busted!!! was Al next door, I forget…pps
Adoring this story :) Beautiful expressiv writing. :) I’m looking forward to the next addition.
Firstly, you deserve those noms, red–your writing is excellent. Secondly, the “lesbian soft porn” remark is pretty funny, but I think this chapter’s a good bit better than that phrase suggests. Thirdly, the pacing of the story is spot-on. Keep it up. Fourthly, I knew the peace couldn’t last for long, and now that Ms. “Rude Awakening” Pieszecki is on the scene, well… And lastly, I’ll have to repeat myself and say that this chap was awesome. So, post soon, red. Thanks
I second all five of jp22’s points. That four-star rating must have been a technical glitch because there is simply no logical explanation for it. You are one of the best writers on this site and I would have been shocked if you hadn’t been nominated. I especially admire how you ground your writing in the concrete, Angie’s inner “thoughts” (pears vs. squash) being a prime example: exquisite. As for the lesbian soft porn, let’s just say page 3 of this instalment is assuming pride of place in my archives file.
Great chapter!! Love the B&T lovin. PPS!!
LOL@chickenshit! One of my favorite terms. I’ll have to remember “bitch on wheels” as well. Definitely a hot chapter!
