Tina closed the door behind her, and saw Bette on the loveseat near the window. She paused for a moment, and watched Bette, who only sat there, looking out the window.
What she thought last night remained true, and Bette continued to look so broken and helpless. A vast comparison to how many knew her, to how people would describe Bette Porter. Bette Porter was strong, spirited, independent. Not as small and fragile as a little girl. This was the side of Bette that Tina had seen on a few rare occasions, and had always sought to protect. This was the side of Bette that was anchored to Tina, and the part of her that had called Tina when her father died.
Tina prayed that she was strong enough to handle this properly. "I brought you french toast."
"I was wondering where you were," Bette replied, giving her a faint smile.
Tina made her way closer, and sat down with her on the seat. "I’m really sorry about your dad."
Bette nodded mutely as she took the plate, setting it down on the space between them, then noticed there were only three slices on it. "What about you?"
Tina shook her head. "I’m not hungry."
Bette looked at her. "Where are your bags?"
Ugh. Questions already? Tina took a deep breath. "In the hotel."
"You get here in the middle of the night and you check into a hotel?"
"No, I’ve been staying in a hotel," Tina corrected.
Bette hesitated. "You’ve been in LA?"
"For two days." Tina confessed.
"And you never came by, or–"
"Bette. Please." Tina cut in. "Can we please not do this now."
Bette opened her mouth to argue, then shut it again, and nodded. She took a bite of the toast, and chewed. She smiled. "Your french toast is still the best."
Tina smiled weakly, and only watched her.
"You know, I feel really bad that I’m eating and you’re not." Bette held out the piece she was holding. "Bite."
"No, I really–"
"Bite." Bette repeated.
Tina obediently took a bite.
Bette smiled. "I’ve missed you."

Wow good chapter. I hope Bette will go through with it and hope Bette and Tina will be together again soon. Post soon, thank you!
Hey, great story. I really enjoyed the unspoken love they have for each other. Post again soon!
So now that I feel like homer mmmmmmm french toast LOL
I just though I would let you know tiff that I have been a fan just have never comment but I find myself having another sleepless night so what the hell. And well the FT hit the spot and since I was making so much noise my roommate woke up and I though she was going to beat the shit out of me but she was cool with it and I made her some FT too so it all good.
Hhmm good one. Bette is holding it together better than I thought she would.
Ok so after the last story I got a little hunrgy so it’s 130am and I’m in the kicthen with my 2 cats making french toast.They seem to like it as much as I do So what the hell why not right I mean I have to be at work in 4hrs and cereal was not going to cut it today.
this is really good looking forward to next chapter
I want some french toast, too. (And a woman who’s like Tina to cook it for me….I’m like that.) Nice chapter. Sad to see Bette so insecure but good that Tina’s there for her, yet setting boundaries. Hopefully they can come to a point where ‘forever’ merits an answer.
again, great one.let’s see how it goes, i wish tina would make it easier.
that was great but so sad…i´m glad Tina were with her even as a “friend” she need to be with someone and that person has to be Tina..great chapter post soon
wow! I got to say this but this post left me hanging and craving for more. Its interesting how the emotional scenes between Bette and Tina always seem to get to me. I love it when Bette saids,”I need you.” Great job!
awwww. i like this.
Wow!!! I had some down time this morning and read all of your stories to present…You have an amazing gift in conveying all the emotional tension and love felt between B&T. Not only that the dialogue in all of your stories is so realistic and true to the characters. I hope you continue to write and share your stories, their too good to just be hangin’ out in your head! THanks
Oh thank you for such a wonderful story to wake up to. I love the way you explained things that were in the show. Gave it a deeper meaning.
Great story, just got caught up, love all your chapters.
Yes, still 5 years late, but reading every word and loving it. Also very amused to see Buffy references and innuendos pop up everywhere.
