    Author Notes:

    The Bette and Tina Drinking Game

    "What is this?" Bette asked.

    "Missy Higgins."

    "Have I mentioned how you really should diversify your musical taste from the Lilith Fair alumni?"

    "Maybe, if you’d shut up, you’d hear the lyrics that got me to your doorstep last night." Tina reminded.

    Bette sulked in her seat, and forced herself to listen to the words.

     

     

    I’ve hardly been outside my room in days,

    ’cause I don’t feel that I deserve the sunshine’s rays

    The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,

    and it was then I realized the conscience never fades.

    When you’re young you have this image of your life:

    that you’ll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.

    And you make boundaries you’d never dream to cross,

    and if you happen to you wake completely lost.

    But I will fight for you, be sure that

    I will fight until we’re the special two once again.

    And we will only need each other, we’ll bleed together,

    our hands will not be taught to hold another’s,

    ’cause we’re the special two.

    And we could only see each other, we’ll breathe together, these arms will not be taught to need another’s,

    ’cause we’re the special two.

    I remember someone old once said to me:

    "that lies will lock you up with truth the only key."

    But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,

    and couldn’t see this place could soon become my *****.

    So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?

    Well I guess the answer is don’t do it in the first place.

    I know I’m not deserving of your trust from you right now,

    but if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down

    ’cause we were the special two, and will be again.

    And we will only need each other, we’ll bleed together,

    our hands will not be taught to hold another’s,

    ’cause we’re the special two.

    And we could only see each other, we’ll breathe together, these arms will not be taught to need another’s,

    ’cause we’re the special two.

    I step outside my mind’s eye’s for a minute.

    And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease,

    or something that could ease the pain.

    But nothing cures the hurt you bring on by yourself,

    just remembering, just remembering how we were…

    When we would only need each other, we’d bleed together,

    these hands would not be taught to hold another’s,

    we, we’re the special two.

    And we could only see each other, we’d bleed together,

    these arms will not be taught to need another’s,

    ’cause we’re the special two.

     

     

    Tina glanced at Bette, and remembered her own reaction the night before, when her assistant forced her to listen to the song.

    Bette turned to Tina. "That’s beautiful."

    Tina smiled weakly.

    "T?"

    "Yeah, babe?"

    "Let’s go home."

    "Okay." Tina nodded.

    "But, T?"

    "Hmmn?"

    "Drive slowly."

    "Okay…"

    "Let’s take forever to get back to reality."

     

     

    to be continued.

    ("The Special Two" song and lyrics written by Missy Higgins. Great artist, this one.)

    4. 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.

    5. i’m glad tina’s able to put up with bette…she’s a very loyal wife…i’m glad they’re on their way to reconcile…thanks for the quick update, can’t wait for another one.

    13. 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!

    14. 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.

    15. 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.

    17. 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.

    18. 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.
