Chapter 20
The early morning rush was in full force as Tina squeezed through the entrance of The Planet desperate for a cup of coffee. Kit was frantically ringing up orders as her staff scurried about filling orders for the other patrons. Tina waved at Kit as she stood in the back of the line, desperate for her early morning jolt of energy.
“Baby Girl,” Kit called out. “Sit back there with Alice and I’ll be right with you!”
“I need to get to the studio,” Tina called back.
“I miss you, just stay 5 minutes so I can say hello. I’ll bring your coffee to you.”
“With an extra shot?” Tina smiled hopeful her request would be honored.
“Deal,” Kit smiled as she left the register to one of her employees and personally began to make Tina’s coffee.
Tina maneuvered through the crowds of people, finally making it to the table. Alice looked up as the chair that her feet were perched on was suddenly removed.
“Wow,” Alice said smiling. “Good morning to you too crabby pants.”
“I’m not crabby.”
Tina slumped down at the table and rolled her eyes as Alice pushed her computer aside to facilitate a conversation with her friend.
“Your sure do seem crabby, and I think I know what’s going on.”
“What’s that?” Tina asked dreading the answer.
“You’re working too much,” Alice simple said. “All work and no play makes for a very cranky lesbian. That’s why we have softball teams, didn’t you know that?”
“I’ll be sure to include that in my rewrite of Jenny’s piece of shit script. I’m sure we can all benefit from knowing that juicy tidbit.”
“Sarcasm will get you no where,” Alice said as she sipped her coffee carefully.
“I wasn’t aware I was trying to get somewhere.”
“See, and here I was trying to be nice and offer my assistance with ‘Lez Shit’,” Alice blew on her steaming coffee to cool the beverage down. “Of course you could return the favor by letting me feature you in a podcast.”
“Out of the question,” Tina shook her head as she felt Kit’s hand on her shoulder.
“What’s out of the question?” Kit asked as she sat down and set Tina’s coffee in front of her.

Thank you for this chapter, I was just thinking can I hope for one, before the weekend gets so busy. cool you are the best
You so cannot stop there my friend, more please???
They{AAron and Kate} are going to keep on Tina back until she really loses her temper and tell them to put it where the sun doesnt shine and walk out. Some one should put Jenny in the luna bin. So glad that Bette knows Tina so well,that she is going to see her. Just dont let her run into Jenny or Kate. thanks for posting
I figured you’d make us wait for a NC17.I’m glad they are taking it slow.The studio is going to give T a nervous breakdown.Glad that Bette is going to see her.Kate needs to go fly a kite.
yes!! go bette! i love this story, gumby… you have outdone yourself, if that was possible. the emotions that fills the characters is very touching… please keep up the good work!!
Truly love this story. Slow is good. Looking forward to more.
Oh my God, they’ll be talking about THE SCENE. It could be a harrowing experience for both Tina and Bette. That has got to be the best, most disturbing, rawest and most powerful scene I’ve seen in the show but the couple hasn’t mentioned anything about it since. I’m curious on how you’ll process that experience, Gumby. And I’m also glad that you’re allowing this couple to talk and straighten things out first before they engage in some serious “reconnecting” in bed. Thanks a lot for the update, Gumby! PPS.
Bette is becoming very intuative about Tina. She is just what Tina needs right now!
Awe how sweet is bette going to see tina, especially since tina really needs her right now. amazing update!! :)
Glad that Bette is perceptive and action oriented. Slow is good because every update is a pleasure to read. Thanks for the awesome post.
Their revisiting of THAT night should be interesting, can’t wait for the dialogue. I think they’ve both grown & reached a place where they can be honest & get everything out on the table….including, i think, that bette (at that time) may not have been experiencing the heartache that tina had of her wife’s betrayal, but she had the compilation of so many things in her life crumbling around her and that too was a heartache. i know these ladies are in a place where they can offer each other support & bette can help tina get through this next “Lez S#!t” (nice one with that) hurdle
Gumby do you think Bette is going to go all alpha on Aaron and Kate, that could be fun. Maybe we’ll see another post over the week-end???????????Please.Md
aaaaaawwwwwwww too much high drama…go Bette go…that’s love when u just know…I’m on the edge of seat now. Plz let Bette take that Kate bi-atch to the cleaners & don’t allow T to tell about what happened that night. They can’t make her. It’s time she stood up to them but looks like B has to do it. PPS
Your writing is amazing. PPS.
Maybe for once when Kate sees Bette coming in to check on Tina she will realize that Tina has been right all along. Bette is what Tina has been describing all along. Yes she can be stubborn but that does not mean that she does not love Tina and will do things that don’t seem to fit her character.
I love how Bette decides to go over and see Tina and help ease her pain instead of getting angry at Tina for cancelling dinner or star feeling insecure. Hope you’ll share how that goes in your next post. I bet it’ll be super sweet. Can’t wait. Thanks Gumby!
Thank for he update Gumby. I think that this is my favourite story on the site. I just love how you write this. If we beg, do you think that we could get another update sometime this weekend?
Gumby, if we beg hard enough, do you think we could get an update on this story over the weekend???? Please, please, pretty please?? I love this story. I like how in tune Bette is with Tina.
tina is right, it’s to late to stop making the movie and she already invested so much in it…i hope bette can help her deal with that particular painful time…even Laurel admitted that it was the hardest scene for her, so let’s see how it will go here…thanks
Bette is one smart cookie. She is just who Tina needs right now. Great post.
Gumby:I absolutely love this story. Please post another chapter (or two?) as soon as you can.
Oh I love my girls when they are in”alpha mode” as Bette is right now. So happy that is in tune with Tina again, so much that she can feel deep down that something isn’t right with Tina, and she is on hr way to tke care of her lady and the situation. I hope Bette gently tears Kate and Aaron a new a–hole and makes them understand Tina is not to be baited nor intimidated into writing something that should remain private. I love this chapter. Can we please have thenext chapter this weekend? Pretty, pretty please. Thanks Gumby, the story is wonderful.
Bette to the rescue! Go girl go! Tina needs you.
Gumby…this is one of the top stories on this site. That says a lot considering all of the great writers here who have left their mark. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful talent. Will be waiting for the next installment. All I can say is WOW!
Good chapter. I think Tina need to quit her job and let that script shit show it up their ass, so she not get all this stress and be painful like this. Now let see Bette go kick their ass and rescue Tina. Please post more, thanks!
this is just a (another) great story.I really can’t figure out what tina will do with that script problem.being a very private person myself I think it would be wrong to share that night with the world if it is only to please her boss and kate. pps
Ack! Cliffhanger! Kate may think she is making Bette look bad so Tina may cave in and give her a shot, but really all she is doing is causing Tina more pain. I am glad Bette knew Tina wasn’t ok and is going to her.
Gumby… loved the line alice used… “Lez Shit” so true so true… hopefully bette can and will help her with the 2 week gap… i think they should make up a story for those 2 weeks… no one should know what really happened… it should be just between the two of them…
“I don’t know what’s going on there, but I know you aren’t ok Baby. I’m on my way.” Which means we need to read the next chapter…, Lez Pronto… :o)
Finally! They will address that awful night and get past it. The catharsis will let them get on with life and love – together. Sorry, Kate, but you’re going to have a great movie. Thanks, Gumby! Now that I think of it, the TV B&T have never mentioned that night, have they? Or is that another of those “unspoken, unseen” moments that we haven’t been privileged to see? Thanks for addressing it.
I’m happy to see this grown up Bette.. who jumps at the idea something isn’t right. She tries to make it right when it happens..instead of letting it go. Its really nice. I hope she can help..and comfort Tina. So that they can truly move on.
Bette is going to Tina’s only to talk about that awful night when Tina found out about her & Candace. Maybe Bette can help Tina write about the pain they both went through during that two week time frame? PS.
i just love your writing
I hope you are doing fine, you don’t how much I loved these two chapters, you so sensual and you make it real and tangible, I love the love and maturity that began to grow between them, I can’t wait, what will happen next, thanks for this wonderful story, you are really are doing a great job.Have a wonderful Sunday
