Alice: “Yeah, but do you plan on waiting forever?”
Bette: “I don’t know….”
Alice: “I know you’re waiting on her, but how long is long enough? I mean, you don’t even know for sure she’ll ever come back. “
Bette: “I know….”
Alice: “You need to stop punishing yourself, Bette, people make mistakes. What are you going to do if she decides to move on?”
Bette: “I guess I’ll accept it. What else can I do?”
Alice: “Well, you can either show her how you really feel or you can finish your life.”
Bette sighs and turns her attention away from Alice.
Alice: “Look why don’t we just talk about something else.”
Bette: “Yeah, let’s. So how is everyone?”
Alice: “Busy, but they’re good. They all ask about you. We miss you.”
Bette laughs, “I miss you guys, too.”
Alice: “We should all get together and go out one night.”
Bette: “Yeah, I would like that. Well, I need to get going. Thank you for inviting me out, I really appreciate your company.”
Alice stands to hug Bette, “Yeah, I’m glad you came. Listen, I’m gonna call you about going out one night, ok?”
Bette: “Alright, bye, Al.”
Bette waves goodbye and walks towards the door. As she shuffles through her purse looking for her keys she catches a glimpse of an all too familiar smile. The expression on her face looks as though someone has just slapped her, when she sees Tina walk into the cafe on the arm of a thin, attractive brunette. She composes herself and prepares to let her presence be known.
Bette: “Tina?”
Tina: “Oh my god. What are you doing here?”
Bette: “I was just having lunch with Alice….it was a public domain the last time I checked.”
Tina: “Yeah, of course….uh….how are you?”
Bette: “Good and how about yourself?” Bette gestures to Tina’s evergrowing belly.
Tina notices Bette’s implication and instinctively rubs her stomach, “Good…I’m good.” Tina’s date begins to feel a little left out so she decides to introduce herself, “Tina, who’s your friend?” Tina is speechless. The brunette looks at Bette and rubs Tina’s hand lovingly, “Sorry Tina has such bad manners sometimes. I’m Melanie Marcus, pleasure to meet you.”
Bette’s heart is pounding with anger at being witness to the close contact between Tina and another woman, “I’m Bette.” She let’s her name resonate for a moment before continuing, “Bette Porter.” She can tell by the look on the brunette’s face that she knows all about Bette and soon she isn’t so eager to get to know Bette.

OMG, Bette is going to have to have the patience of a saint, and it worries me cos its so not in her character. Love this story, even if Tina is starting to annoy me. What was the surprise in seeing Bette at the Planet. Hello first off isn’t it Kit’s, and didn’t they always go there. Too bad Bette can’t figure out a way to know where Tina’s going so she can keep accidentally running into her. Can Bette see people while she’s figuring it out? I think not. Waiting as usual.
I’m glad they were able to come to an understanding, but ouch! lol Great job, cole!
How fucking bittersweet was that. Bette is willing to do anything to be with Tina and Tina is going on but holding on to the past. Not fair, but not unexpected. You know that there’s a part of Tina that wants to punish Bette for what she did…funny how you can love someone and hate them at the same time. A very fine line between love and hate. Bette will do anything for Tina…and if being friends is the first step, then there’s Bette taking the first step. Thanks for the chapter…please continue.
Wow. Great chapter can’t wait for more. Definitly displayed some of the hardness Tina is capable of.
Ddamn this is sad and hurt alot. And I agree with Marti, and let see what’s next, thanks!
let the bullshit begin, bette has her work cut out for her in melanie we all know how mel and linz were. tina will be saying bette who when she calls, where is lindsay by the way.
“I’m Melanie Marcus” Oh my, so she’s left Linds for good & moved to LA?
This is what I’m talking about – conflict, drama, confrontation – all the things missing from S2.
Thank god the other woman isn’t Helena Peabody! Being with a lawyer from The Center is so much more plausible.
I loved the scene between B&T! Talking! What a novel concept! S2 should have been full of this – them not necessarily together but in scenes together, conflicting, negotiating, etc.
Why, why, why did they waste such a powerful connection?
Thank you for putting them together for us!
Ouch, ouch – the kissing the hand was cold on Tina’s part. Is she playing Bette now or what? AGH! I love this story! Please post again soon!
jeez. i dont know wether to pee or get off the pot. tina tina tina. pull your head out.

Excellent chapter.. This will be the perfect way for Bette to show Tina she can change,as hard as it will be on Bette she will win the battle..Post soon great writing..
Geez, you know Bette wanted to go kung foo on that chick. Hee hee…good self control. If only she could’ve had some of that when the carpenter came along.
How heartwrenching and then sweet was this story? Please continue.
There is alot of ladies that would love to hang on to Bette Porter arm. Maybe that is what she could do. Do as Tina asked to be friends.Until Tina wants her back in her life,other than friends..thanks
fuck..why do these other people have to pop into their lives….nice chapter and I hope Bette can do it.
Melanie Marcus, is that the little dark haired woman from QAF? I did not watch QAF enough to know which one was which. Anyway, like your story.
