Bette: “Ms. Marcus, is it? Could you please excuse us for minute?” Melanie feels extremely out of place and put in her place all at the same time. At this point, she would like nothing better than to leave the two alone as she can feel the tension in the air.
Melanie: “Uh sure, Babe I’ll just get us a table.” She leans in to kiss Tina on the cheek, but thinks better of it when she sees the look in Bette’s eyes, just daring her to take another step.
Bette takes Tina outside, “Who the ***** is she?”
Tina is fuming at Bette’s inquisitveness, “I really don’t think it’s any of your business.”
Bette: “Maybe not, but I think I still deserve an answer.”
Tina: “She’s a pro-bono lawyer that is working for the social center.”
Bette: “So what are you ***** her?” Tina begins to walk off.
Bette: “Where are you going?”
Tina: “I refuse to stand here and let you talk to me like that.”
Bette: “Well, what the ***** am I supposed to think? I was under the impression that we were possibly just maybe trying to work things out and here you come with some other woman.”
Tina: “I never said we were working on anything. You left remember?”
Bette: “Yeah, because I thought that’s what you wanted or needed.”
Tina: “It is what I want.”
Bette: “Well, what else do you want from me?”
Tina: “When are you ever going to realize that not everything is about you?”
Bette: “Well, I’m the reason we’re here. I figured if it wasn’t about me then you would want to come back home and try to work things out.”
Tina: “Listen, Bette…it is you and it’s not. It’s a culmination of a lot of things. Initially, I was hurt by you, I was angry at you, but I forgive you. I realized we all make mistakes. I know you’re not perfect neither am I, but other than the cheating there’s another reason why we’re here, there’s something that pushed me away from you…it’s the same thing that drove you to cheat. Haven’t you ever thought that we weren’t really all that happy together over the last year or so?
Bette: “Not all relationships are perfect either Tina, but I love you and that’s why you don’t just run out when ***** get’s tough. Being together isn’t always about happy times…it’s about remembering the good times when things aren’t great and working together to get through the bad.”

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.
