HOPE ALONE – Chapter 25
Chapter 25
The ride from The Planet, now crowded with women recounting Tina’s declaration in their own versions, to the solidarity of Bette’s house was mostly blanketed in silence. Tina had ushered Bette into her car, taking her hand, and managing to maneuver through traffic. She released Bette’s hand only once, to shift from reverse into drive, leaving The Planet parking lot. After reclaiming Bette’s hand, Tina held it the entire journey until the moment she parked the car in Bette’s driveway.
“We need to talk,” Tina said as she watched Bette stare out the windshield at nothing in particular. “Let’s go inside.”
Bette silently obeyed, unlocking the front door, and allowing Tina to enter her house first. She threw her keys down in the same place she had countless times before, dropping her purse on the table near the front door, and turning to face Tina.
“Is this about the scene?”
“This is about your version of the scene,” Tina said with a sympathetic smile. “Unfortunately I didn’t get to read it before Kate used it for a read through to cast Laura Bishop as ‘Nina’.”
“You got Laura Bishop?” Bette was genuinely surprised. “That’s huge, I didn’t realize this movie would be that big.”
“I didn’t come to talk about the movie Bette, I came to talk about what’s going on in your head.”
Bette expertly avoided Tina’s gaze as she walked into the kitchen, busying herself by pouring a glass of the amber liquid that recently served its purpose in relaxing both her and Tina.
“Care for some?”
“No,” Tina placed her hand on Bette’s shoulder while the other gently pushed the glass back down to the counter. “I’d rather have this conversation without anything between us, including cloudiness from that deadly lighter fluid.”
“You didn’t seem to mind last night,” Bette teased as she stepped away from Tina’s close proximity and leaned against the opposite wall in the kitchen.
“I think not talking clearly is how we got into this situation in the first place,” Tina said bluntly. “We need to talk about that night, your version of the scene I saw play out in front of me this morning, and where we’re going from here.”
“That’s a pretty daunting conversation.”

oh yes, Thank you Gumby, just beautiful the way you are playing this out
Always a pleasure to read an offering from your lovely and creative imagination.
WOW!!!! Just wonderful!!!! I so hope IC takes them down this road. Thanks PPVS
OH OH OH OHHHHHHHHHH I LIKE ITTTTTT IM GUMBYYYYYYYYYYYYY dammit LOL
“We don’t have to be lonely anymore,” – ’cause we’ve got Gumby!… ;-)
This is such a brilliant story and it just keeps getting better and better. I fear I.C. will not do it as well as you Gumby. Can’t wait until your next update!
another great chapter. it’s funny how Tina actually wins the bitch of the decade award once their crimes are listed – i dont know if i am the only one who often forgets?the pregnancy hiding alone seems so harsh.and not wanting to be intimate with bette makes her look stupid in addition to being mean:-) anyways PPS
Double wow… glad tina finally speaks up! :)
I bet the cool water just added steam to the already blazing emotions that were running wild. Tina is correct in how they are progressing forward.
Gumby….great chapter.
bravo, bravo, encore,cncore, like now would be good Grmby, this is a very haartwarming story. Md
well said…
STILL LOVING IT……….omg……wow..can’t wait til next post…soon???
Hey Gumby, great update!! Love your story. I don’t always leave a comment behind but always reading your fanfictions!! So hope to see you post soon!!
Damn..you make it all hot and beautiful at the same time. Now if we could just get an episode like this….IC needs to give B & T as much time as she gave Turkish Oil Wrestling.
Beautiful! I love that Tina took charge and led Bette to a conversation towards healing their past.
**rubbing my eyes in disbelief***Is that communication that I’m reading here on this page? Why I do believe these two are talking about the past and moving on to the future. Huh…there’s an interesting concept. **shouting at the top of my lungs**** “Hey IC! You could try to write dialogue in the show that might show B&T as two intelligent adults instead of two cheating horn dogs, like my friend Gumby just did in this chapter.” Ahhh….never mind. She would just f*ck it all up. Thanks Gumby, for your beautiful words and for the visual of Bette in a wet, white shirt. WOW! Now, let’s seal that future with a kiss and if you have any other thoughts on what you would like to see Tina do with a very, wet Bette….please feel free to write those thoughts down in the next chappy as well. LOL! PS.
I really liking this, I love the changes in both of them. thanks
Gumby, great update. Thank you so much for letting them talk and HEAR what the other is saying and not clam up and walk off or just not continue to talk. They have needed this for so long. They are understanding that both are to blame for the demise of their relationship and admitting their own cupability is so important. Having Tina make Bette understand that she will not leave her under any circumstances was just awesome. Bette needs to understand that Tina is hers now, First, Last and most certainly Forever. Loved it. PPS
This is just brilliant another wonderful chapter reaally loving how they are communicating there thoughts and feelings, post again soon.
Thank you Gumby for the brilliant update….always a pleasure to read your stories.
Wow Gumby, you are wonderful and I love how your mind works, this is what we all want to happen on the show, this story is really a kind of alternative of what might not happen there, thank you so much for this and so much more.Have a great week.
Loved it!
Great!
the answer to the last line is YES ;)
