I Need You Here -12
"This *****’s diluted." Tina noted, stirring her drink.
"This isn’t." Bette replied, downing the last of her latest glass of martini.
"I brought you here to talk, not to get drunk." Tina pointed out. "You and alcohol don’t seem to mix well these days."
"I know, but this is going to keep me from crying." Bette answered.
"I told you, you don’t have to be afraid to cry."
"But you always leave me when I do."
"Bette. I’m here." Tina looked at her meaningfully. "I’m not going anywhere."
"What about New York?"
"Until I have to go to New York," Tina quickly added.
Bette smiled at Tina’s quick amendment. "You want to go to the beach?"
"Don’t you find it kind of stupid that there would be a bar so near to the beach, and no lifeguards in sight?"
"There’s no swimming after dark." Bette reminded her.
Tina glanced out, and smirked at the sight of the beginning of a sunset. "Sun’s still out."
"You want to go for a swim?" Bette asked incredulously.
"No, I was just seeing how far I could drag you." Tina grinned, sipping her drink.
"T, you could tell me to go to *****, and I’d go." Bette replied.
"You really have to drag yourself out of that self-loathing you seem to be wallowing in." Tina pointed out.
"Make me." Bette teased.
Tina frowned. "I’d really rather not. I like reprimanding you."
"Yeah, you seem to really enjoy taking control." Bette agreed. "In fact, you’re kind of scary."
"Oh, I’m scary?" Tina retorted. "At least my assistants don’t pee their pants when they see me."
"James does not…" Bette paused. "Does he?"
"And they don’t cry when I start throwing curse words around."
"Oh, now James doesn’t…" Bette hesitated again. "No, wait, I think he almost…"
They were interrupted by a waitress bringing another round of drinks to their table.
Tina looked up. "Oh, no, we–"
"They’re courtesy of the man at the bar," the waitress told them.
Tina and Bette both groaned.
"Not your type, huh?" The girl grinned at them.
"Not at all," Tina replied.
"She’s my type," Bette told the girl, pointing at Tina.
"I figured as much," the girl acknowledged. "Well, free drinks, right?"

Very nice. Glad Tina’s taking Bette’s shit, as well as giving back what she’s getting. Now, if only Bette can find Bette, there might be a chance.

Good chapter. I’m glad that Tina come back and try to work thing out with Bette, hope they will go thruogh with it. What a beautiful song, love it. Post soon, thanks!
Good for Tina managing to get thru all this shit. Bette has an excuse her dad died she doesn’t know where she stands with Tina but wants her desparately. But being Tina here is not easy. Great writing looking forward to more.
Hey Tiff,
I am liking this assertive Tina. She really has got her professional life sorted. And now trying to solve and move on from all the personal ones.
I do like your writing styles. The characters are remaining true to themselves while being influenced by those they trust.
Now Bette just needs to realise that Tina is there for her; now and always. Then maybe, she can accept what has happened, get some closure and then move forward.
Much anticipation in to how this story will progress.
Please post soon.
A Fan.
Totally got the song and well presented thanks the question is is Bette too drunk to remember??
hmm..at least when bette drinks she’s with Tina. kept her under control. great choice of song.Keep this going..am really enjoyin readin it.
I love the use of the words in the song to convey Tina’s thoughts and feelings. I too enjoy using music as a means of expression for my feelings….I’m definitely no songfic hater. Keep up the good work. I’d love to see you put some stress on the situation, like making Tina have to leave or something. Anything that will make them step up and settle their issues and stop ‘pussy footing’ around them.
Nice!! I like there interaction when they have been drinking, it’s always funny, when there is no blood or pain involved
That was wonderful. So sweet. Love it.
Nice one… I love Missy Higgins – great song…
Goodness, this is an emotional story. These last 2 chapters have been simply wonderful!
fabulous as usual!
Great chapter, please post soon. Also i love Missy Higgins, she is amazing live, this is my fav. song of hers.
