HOPE ALONE – Chapter 14
Hours seemed to pass by quickly, both Tina and Kate sharing in conversation and learning more about one another. It occurred to Tina half way through dinner that this is what she missed the most about a relationship, the beginning stage where everything is new and you feel desired almost constantly. She liked that feeling so much, that it was now wreaking havoc on her mind as she tried to concentrate on her work.
“It’s been a long time since you’ve felt that way,” Tina admitted to herself bring her thoughts back to the present.
Tina knew she had worked hard to gain her confidence back, despite the few times that doubt still crept into her mind about her worth. Along with destroying their relationship, Bette’s affair also destroyed a great deal of Tina’s self assurance. Her failed attempts at dating Helena, Henry, and then the spattering of women since then did nothing to restore that, it was a hard fought battle that Tina won on her own.
Tina leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes feeling tired from the days’ events. She unconsciously licked her lips, catching a faint hint of the wine that still lingered there. She was startled when an image of Bette sipping from a wine glass passed through her mind. Her eyes flew open. When she had taken the first sip of the wine Kate offered earlier that evening, it had struck her that the taste was familiar. But it was only now that she realized where she recognized it from. Kate’s wine bore a striking resemblance to the bottle Bette had opened the night they had attempted the in-home insemination.
Tina stared at Bette’s addition to her outline once more, staring at the words that described that very event. Tina smiled as she concluded that the moment must have meant just as much to Bette given its inclusion to the new script at Bette’s suggestion. Although they had talked about it in New York, the discussion barely scraped the surface of how it felt to experience it firsthand.
Tina couldn’t help the smile that graced her face at the memory that flashed in her mind. The sun was just drifting down below the horizon as Bette opened the bottle of wine she had chosen for the occasion. Tina recognized it immediately as one that Bette served for the biggest celebratory moments, and this was no different.

Jenny is such a brat, honestly. And if Tina’s that wound up from a memory, goodness knows what she’s gonna do when she learns Bette is back in town… Great update, Gumby, good to see you posting again.
Good to have you back with this story, great writing as always. PPS
welcome back sweetie – as always you are a delight,. i will stand in line waiting for an email but i will email proofie this weekend – good to have you back honey xxxxxxxxxxxxx
You’ve been away much too long…thanks for the update…
Aww, poor Bette having to sit there and listen to Jenny talk about Tina fucking Kate. Glad it isn’t true. I think Tina is just projecting some feelings onto Kate because Kate obviously makes her feel wanted. That isn’t real, though, its just liking the way someone makes you feel. Hopefully she and Bette can talk and decide to maybe slowly give it a go.
I have been waiting so long for this story to reappear! I can’t take the suspense, post again soon!
wow where’s the rest of this chapter? you cannot just leave us girls hanging here , that’s just simply not fair play.Great writing as usual and please post soon….
“hope there is still an interest in this story”… We await with bated breath, Gumby :-)
Yea, you’ve returned. Now I am greedy. I need/crave more.
I have to say that I have tolerated Jenny so far in all 4 seasons, some more than others, but season 5 – I seriously could commit physical damage to her! So mate…, good to know that there are people who fix computers… Missed your presence! xx
I am so with Audi on this. Gumby, Please get B&T back together soon. Thanks PPVS
yipppeee! you’re back!! thanks for the update. looking forward to your next post.
purely for this quote I bow down to your genius, you need have written nothing but ” “Too bad Jenny’s mom wasn’t a guppy,” Alice muttered to herself as she weaved through the crowd to the outside. “She could have done us all a favor and ate her offspring.” ” in this chapter and I’d have been in love with it.. great story, really enjoying it, thanks for posting :) hope you find the time to post again soon :)
So great to see your post. Looking forward to more of this story.
Oh this story is really getting good! Hpefully Tina calls Bette back and Bette doesn’t wait but goes right to see her. Let’s hope that these two don’t miscommunicate again for the 99th time!
Awwww…what a place to stop! Great to see this story and you back. PPS.
Awwww…what a place to stop! Great to see this story and you back. PPS.
been waiting for this story to continue. oh, please post soon. like today or tomorrow. sigh…
Love alice’s last comment about jenny,lol. bette and tina need get together ya know sooner than later… :)
Jenny is such a, there are words but if I was Bette I would have popped her a good one. How does she get by with her mouth. Super glue, If Bette only knew what Tina was doing. She would have been there to help her. thanks
Where ya been, girl??? Missed this story. Can’t wait for more!!!
So sorry to hear about your computer problems. I’ve missed this story and was so happy to see a new chapter. It’s scary how dependent we are on computers, isn’t it? May I suggest, if you don’t already have one, a hard drive backup? It has saved me more times than I can remember. Let me know if you need any suggestions about them. Looking forward to your next post–enjoy the weekend. Lin
i’m glad you’re back, i love this story…and it’s frustrating how B&T can’t communicate right…i hope everything will work out soon for them
The wine on Tina’s lips gave her “orgasmic” deja-vu. Dayummmmm… I need to find out what type of wine that was!! LOL! It’s amazing how a place, a sound, a taste can take you back to the best and worst times in your life. Wonderful moments created with Bette are memories that even Jenny “I had to kill a dog named Sounder to try & seduce a woman” Schecter can’t f*ck up. Great to have you back Gumby. You’ve been missed.
omg i loved it…i’ve been waiting for this next chapter and it was worth it..i loved the humor about jenny..too funny
The ABS has the mojo even when were not home!!!!!!!!!!! jenny is going to get bitch smack
I hope that Tina calls Bette back immediately. Jenny is nothing more than a user and a tramp. I hope that she gets what is coming to her and soon.
yippie,Gumpy has the puter fixed, thats a scary thing not having your stories to read. So our girls are ships in the night, maybe next chapter they’ll get to have a conversation, maybe even in person. I’m all for a guppy party to eat that J-beach up, I think we all love to hate her. Welcome back babe. Md
Thank the lord for computer repairers!!!
Jenny is a crazy bitch and just want to slap her head to get her brain back so she not crazy anymore lol. Hope Tina will call Bette back so they can talk. Please post more, thanks!
at last and more soon, this is so good…go bette, go find your woman…screw jenny…not literally…
Jenny’s big mouth may have just caused more drama. I hope it won’t stop Bette from letting Tina know how she feels.
perfect timing. just when i was wondering when the next post of this story would be….there it appears, giving me my fix…..oh and the last line – absolutely LOVE it, SO f’ing hilarious, thx ;)
Oh Jenny… tease :) PPS love that your back ;)
