    Author Notes:

    CHAPTER 16 / You don’t know me

    "Tess?"

    Teresa’s jaw immediately set, the quivering chin willed deathly still, "What are you doing here?"

    The question came out in a rush and sounded a lot harsher than the Superintendent had intended.

    "I…You sounded upset last night so I thought I’d come by."

    For every step Tina took forward, Teresa took a step back,

    "You shouldn’t have come. I’m busy."

    The words stung, but Tina was more hurt by the force of Teresa jerking her arm away as the blonde reached out to comfort her. The brunette walked a wide arc around the stunned reporter and slammed the door to her office shut.

    "What on earth has gotten into you? I’m at work. You should know better than to do that here."

    "Do what? I was reaching out to touch your arm, maybe provide a bit of comfort. I wasn’t going to jump you. Give me a little credit; your secret is safe with me."

    Tina’s words were sharp and Teresa couldn’t help but flinch at the mention of the word ‘secret’.

    The defensive blonde dropped the items she had been holding onto the table and took a moment to calm herself,

    "What happened earlier? What is going on with you?"

    "Nothing."

    "Do not do that to me."

    "Do what?"

    "You’re shutting down and shutting me out."

    Teresa laughed, yet there was no humor in the sound. She walked to her desk, putting the large piece of mahogany furniture between them, "What is it that everyone wants from me?"

    Tina stepped forward, her hands firmly on her hips, "What I want, is for you to talk to me."

    "And what I want, is for you to leave it alone. Drop it. I don’t need your help."

    "You know what?" The blonde was incredulous, "Forget it." Tina turned to leave. "I feel sorry for you, and this pathetic excuse for a life. Needing someone doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human."

    "You don’t know me."

    "You’re absolutely right. I don’t know you – not the real you. I only know the "you" you show me, this perfect façade you show everyone. Maybe I was lucky in that I saw more than most." Tina was on the verge of tears, but if Teresa was going to remain stone-faced, so would she. "So this is it then?"

    Teresa shrugged her shoulders. She was dangerously close to losing it. She didn’t trust herself to speak.

    "I just….I don’t understand. I was coming here to bring you lunch and to make sure you were okay and now…"

    "And now you’re leaving." Teresa finished. Like everyone else, she added to herself.

    "Is that what you really want?" The blonde’s voice cracked

    "It’s for the best."

    "The best for who?"

    "For the both of us."

    "Is that how you honesty feel, Teresa?"

    The brunette turned her gaze from the blonde to the window behind her desk. The pained hazel eyes were almost too much to bear. And she could no more answer Tina’s question honestly, as she could promise a lifetime without challenge or hurt. What she didn’t realize, was that those were the very things no one could promise in a relationship.

    "It’s for the best." Teresa repeated.

    "Well, I disagree. But apparently you’ve already made the decision for the both of us. I brought lunch and a…uh…" a sob caught in Tina’s throat, "I brought a copy of your profile. It will be in Sunday’s edition."

    The blonde lowered her gaze, willing her tears not to start until she made it to the elevator. As she closed the door to Teresa’s office, she felt as though she was closing the door on a life that could have been.

    Teresa uncrossed her arms and leaned forward, grasping the corners of her desk so tightly her knuckles were nearly white. The tears she had held at bay started to flow, and as she feared they would flow without end, she began to sob uncontrollably.

    1. Whoa Goddamn Chinese take out!!!! Chinese cuisine, The Great Wall of China Bette has just erected around her heart!!!! The signs are thereWhat we need to remedy this is a Caribbean cuisine dinner. Maybe Italian. Bette should bring it over to Tinas place. Thanks scaf

    2. I’m first, wow? Teresa’s pain is so deep, so strong. Please let Tina stay around to help break down the wall. Teresa is going to need to feel love, please let it be with Tina.

    6. Whoa, talk about surrounding herself with walls – very effectively. Hopefully a few craks will appear when she reads Tina´s article. Teresa really needs some instant love in her life.

    10. I am so impressed w/this story that I went to the archives and reread your other stories. Powerful writing. I just wish these chapters were a couple pages longer. I hope that you plan on having sequels to this story. :-)

    12. I’m not happy with the regression in their relationship, but I’m taking you at your word and understand that this is a minor bump in the road to their eventual happiness. In Teresa’s defense we all have shitty days where everything hoes wring and we tend to take it out in those we care about the most. Ok, I’m ready for the next update. Post soon…. Pretty please :-)

    20. Ok, Teresa needs to get it all out and then go to Tina and apologize. Hopefully Tina will hear her out. She’s been hurt and I can understand if she puts up her own walls. Great Chapter. PPS!!
