”I was a few blocks away.”
Bette looked over at her for a moment before turning her gaze back to the ocean.
”Such an amazing Sunday afternoon,” Tina remarked. She smiled at Bette. ”I’m glad to have joined you here today.”
Turning her head again, Bette found Tina’s hazel eyes watching her warmly. After a moment the brunette turned away without saying anything.
Tina squeezed her lips together thoughtfully. She decided not to overwhelm Bette with honeyed words and proceeded to sustain a casual conversation. ”Come here often?”
Bette shrugged. ”Sometimes on my days off. Sometimes before evening shifts, as today.”
”Where do you work?
”At one of the restaurants in Silver Lake,” Bette replied.
”You work as a waitress?”
”Bartender.”
Tina bit her lower lip, but nonetheless was unable to suppress the smile that sneaked across her face at the idea of Bette working as a bartender.
When no reply followed, Bette looked at the blonde. She scowled when she noticed the roguish smile Tina was trying to hide behind her hand.
”Sorry,” Tina uttered and giggled a bit. She looked into Bette’s hardened eyes. ”I just remembered how you used to give bartenders a hard time when we were at The Gyre. It suddenly seems funny now. Sorry.”
”I’m not proud of that,” Bette muttered, failing to catch Tina’s good-natured teasing.
”I know you’re not,” Tina said quietly, smiling the gentle smile this time. ”Do you like the job?”
Bette contemplated for a moment. ”Depends.”
”On?”
”On whether anyone’s giving me a hard time or not,” the brunette mocked and looked at Tina with a smirk.
Tina laughed. ”I said I’m sorry!”
Bette studied her. Tina appeared different than several days ago when they had met up at the coffee shop in Downtown. Her face looked soft, relaxed and radiant, not lined with fatigue and anxiety. Her cheeks had a little color to them, making her look refreshed. Her light hair was free and sensuous, a little disheveled from the ocean breeze. She was smiling with all her teeth, the smile so genial that it was reaching her eyes, and even when the smile had left, it glowed there long after. Today she looked just as Bette remembered her when they had been together at their happiest.

Valerie, Thank you for the update! This is one of my favorites. So happy to see that Tina is going to fight for Bette! Can’t wait for next update.
Thank you so much for the great update,I’ve been waiting patiently for you to post. I cant wait for the next part,please post soon.
Hi, happy to see another great (and long) chapter from you!
I must say about a few things about this part.
First – what i don’t like – i don’t like Nicole. I don’t trust her and i think she don’t fired Bette only because she wants her. I can see ultimatum for Bette from her in the future.
Ok, next what i like – i like two conversation – Tina wit therapist and Bette with Ayola – i think both Tina and Bette can see things more clear after this talks.
And of course the best part of chapter – Tina’s decision fight for Bette.
I must say i very like your mature Tina and i think Bette need to stop be scared and do leap of faith with her.
So, thank you for this part and waiting for next!
Hi Valerie:
This was a wonderful chapter, as you mentioned, maturity is taken its way on our couple, and they have the world on their hands, it’s their decision, all or nothing.
I’m glad they are finding their way to each other, there will be obstacles, like that stupid bully parol officer, the talkative Brenda and Bette boss, but Tina and Bette together, can overcome any barrier.
I start getting sad because this is the beginning of the end of this story, hope you keep updating the other, and maybe we could enjoy more stories from you.
Thank you for the update, I’ll eagerly wait for the next chapter.

oh my God…u’ve just made my day by update this story.. Thank you so much..
Hi Valerie,
Yes, Tina is going to fight for her Bette! About time, she has to show Bette that she has grown up and will not leave her when there are problems and there will be
That parole man is a utter asshole and what about Nicole, hmm. I hope she is trustworthy and isn’t going to use Bette’s past against her. For now i give her a chance.
Ayola has my respect, she is a very good friend. I love her.
Thank you for the update! It was worth the while!

Thanks for posting.

Geez so much emotions going on… stubborn and lack of communication…. good think they both had someone to turn too… but then there is still Brenda… thank you it was great..
thank you so much for this wonderful long chapter.
I don’t blame Tina for behaving the way she did, I mean Bette was living a dangerous life style that would have easily put Tina at risk. am glad both are finding their way back to each other. But what happens with Brenda?. post soon plea……..se
Forgot to mention about Tina’s girfriend – seems it was not ease to Tina break up with her. First – because her parents like her, and second – Brenda obviously in love with her.
But i hope mature Tina know what she wants – and it’ll be Bette
Loved he update. Thanks
It was wonderful having the update. Hopefully they can come to terms with their feelings for each other and most of all, Bette needs to get over her fear of being let down by Tina in the future. Tina has laid down the gauntlet and Bette needs to meet her halfway and accept that Tina is truly still in love with her and wants a future with her. And Bette needs to forget the past and let it go, and run as fast as she can towards their future. Loved the update. Thanks for posting.
So happy to see an update. My heart broke for Tina when Bette pushed her away. The parole officer is a sadist. I hope Bette can keep her path until she no longer has to answer to him. He has treachery in his heart. Nicole will make a play for Bette to keep her secret. I think Bette needs to remove herself from this job. Tina has grown so much . She is willing to fight for Bette and chose her over family. The little girl is grown up. Please post again soon. Thank you.
It’s been 25 days..and i am dying to have an update of this story…give us some highlight of the day. Soon…pretty please?? :)
