I Need My Best Friend – Part 13
‘And you’re all right with that?’
‘I don’t think either of us could handle anything more right now.’
‘Wow! She said you had talked a lot and still had a lot to talk about, but I thought she was blowing me off.’
‘When did she say that?’
‘When I called her yesterday about last night, what happened last night anyway?’
‘I was here when she got home.’
‘She must have been surprised, the way you left I mean.’
‘I stayed out back and watched her until she went to bed.’
‘So you stalked her!’
‘She’s my wife Al! I came in after she went to bed.’
‘What happened?’
‘I woke her up and we talked about seeing other people.’
‘And?’
‘Basically she won’t and I don’t want to.’
‘So you aren’t any closer to reconciling and you’re not going to see other people so what are you?’
‘I don’t know, we’re going to talk about it when she gets back.’
‘I don’t think she can just be your friend Tina, not anytime soon.’
‘Why not?’
‘Do you really think she can watch you fall in love and have a family with someone else? Maybe sometime in the future she could be a part of your life after you were settled, but she’ll never be able to sit by and watch it happen.’
‘I don’t want to talk about it anymore.’
‘I didn’t mean to upset you.’
‘You didn’t, I just don’t want to talk about it.’
‘Can I ask you something?’
‘Sure.’
‘Have you talked about the carpenter yet?’
‘Just the things that led up to it not the affair itself, we’re starting that in therapy next week.’
‘Bette’s gonna love that!’
‘She’s been great about therapy
‘What do you mean?’
‘She’s going individually and we’re going together, she’s really trying. She really listens to me when we talk and she’s been really open about everything we’ve talked about.’
‘You leaving must have really scared her.’
‘She’s doing it for herself not just for us. She started going before we were even talking again.’

Gentle and tender, no rushing. Both of them need that. Without added drama, everything is dramatic already. Well done. I love this series!
How would Bette indulge Tina? Hmmm, Does making love like no tomorrow count?
I’m honestly getting a bit worried here…but let me say this was one wonderfully written chapter…intense, loving, sad, beautiful…very well done girl!!!
As Bette said, “what we’re going through right now is intensely personal” Alice asks too many prying questions and Tina should draw the line and not answer them. But you need to do the exposition…
Thanks
What a beautiful not from Tina!! You touched my heart. I can’t wait to read the next chapter.
Alice gave her{Tina} something to think,that if they didn’t go back together,would Bette LA. I know if it was me,my old shirt wouldn’t hit me in the butt and I would be gone,.Could stand to see the LOML with someone else. Tina seen to want her cake {others} and to keep Bette in her life at any cost. Wonderful chapter
I am getting worried too, please dont break them up
You put so much into this chapter. I hope B&T find their way. Remarkable writing.
Thanks so much for the long chapters. It really allows us to get totally caught up in the story…and such a wonderful story it is. I understand Tina’s fear…but her going back and forth is starting to worry me. Thanks!
As_always Great!! I love that you post the two chaps together, you get more into it, It was deep, it feels like if Tina need a little experimenting just to be sure, in spite she said she didn’t want to date other people, dunno… great writing!!
my favorite part thou, Tina putting Alice in her place, gish she even kick her!!
quote: I may know some things about Bette that you don’t. (lol, duh!!) :D
you have had some great moments but this was the best. Thanks for taking the time.
I agree very well written and very intense.. Sorry I can’t always comment it’s hard at work.. But please continue this is an excellent story…
This was a great chapter–I love the dialogue and Tina’s heart-aching ambivalence. Thanks so much!
great chapter — Tina’s tentativeness is palpable – and understandable – wants and fears are all mixed but Bette’s growth and calmness is helping the situation – there shouldn’t be ultimatums – I don’t think that Foxworthy should force them into any decisions – it is the direction that counts and their communication is improving – again, thanks for the enjoyable, truthful chapter..
You touch my heart when I read this story, it seems so real, I loved the letter from Tina it was so sweet, and right now Bette and Tina need that time together, but you can’t break them up.
