Tina: “Bette, I’m sorry…I…I don’t know what to say.”
Bette: “Is it serious between you two?”
Tina: “I don’t know.”
Bette: “How long have you been seeing her?”
Tina: “We met about a month ago.”
Bette: “So you’re telling me that there is absolutely no chance of us getting back together? That I’m just wasting my time?”
Tina: “I didn’t say that. Bette, I still love you, I do. I love you so much it hurts to even think about you sometimes. But I’m still not ready to get back together. I need time for me. I’m re-evalutating me…my life. This baby is coming and I’m scared to death. I can’t…I won’t bring it into an unstable relationship. I would rather raise it completely on my own than subject it to something like that.”
Bette: “You know I would never abandon this baby.”
Tina: “And I’m not saying you would, but I think we both have a lot of changing to do before we can make that kind of commitment. To each other or this child.”
Bette: “But yet, you’re willing to jump head first into another relationship at 6 months along?”
Tina: “Look, I don’t know where it’s going with Melanie and I. She’s known that from the beginning. I’m not looking for a relationship with anyone right now.”
Bette: “Tina I know you don’t trust me and I know we have issues, but we can pull this thing together. Please don’t do this. I’m willing to change for you. If you want to go to therapy we’ll go. Whatever it is I’ll make it happen, just tell me.”
Tina: “Can you be my friend?”
Bette: “Friend?”
Tina: “Look I know that’s not what you want, but it’s all I have to offer. I’ve been thinking and I do want you in my life…our life in some capacity and hopefully we can work towards more, but I have nothing else to give. I’m willing to start here and try to build something really meaningful with you but it has to start here. If we can be friends then maybe we have a future to look forward to. Can you do that for me?”
Bette: “I don’t know if I can…not if you continue to date her?”
Tina: “I’m not going to stop seeing her. She’s the one that’s here for me right now…if you can’t respect that then obviously you’re not willing to work as hard as you thought you were.”
Bette swallows her pride, “Ok. I can do this for you. But I don’t want her rubbed in my face and I don’t want her along everytime we want to spend some time together.”
Tina walks up to Bette and wraps her arms around Bette’s waist. They hold each other tightly and soak up the feeling of the other. Relishing the touch they have waited so long to feel. Tina buries her face in Bette’s hair and breathes in deeply the scent that is her Bette.
Tina: “Thank you……. I have to go, Bette.” Bette squeezes Tina tighter, “I know. ” Bette pulls their bodies closer and whispers into Tina’s ear, “I’ll be missing you.” Tina pulls away taking Bette’s hand and kissing it. She holds onto it as she turns to walk back into the planet then slowly let’s it fall to Bette’s side as Bette watches her go.

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.

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.
