Bette yawned as she stocked utensils and supplies into the shelves behind the bar. When she heard the door open, she looked up listlessly and saw one of their waitresses. The woman staggered toward the bar and landed on the bar stool, dropping her head onto the counter. Bette smirked.
”Long night?”
The woman groaned. ”Fucking poker.”
”Oooh, nice. You seem like you won.”
”Don’t bother talking to me, cuz a loud buzzing ringing in my head right now is all I can hear.”
Bette nodded slowly to herself. ”Yep. Most certainly won.”
The door opened again and their manager burst inside, looking pissed. She took a sharp look over the bar counter.
”Why are the umbrellas still closed and where is the sidewalk sign?!” Nicole snapped at Bette. She glanced between Bette and the slouching woman. ”Where are your uniforms?! We open in five minutes and you must be in your uniform half an hour before the opening! Should I repeat that, so you both are clear?!”
With their mouths agape, the two women watched Nicole stomping into her office.
”Geez,” the waitress whistled in bored stupefaction. ”Someone had a long night too. A long night of unsatisfying sex, by the looks of it,” she snorted in laughter.
Frowning, Bette finished stocking supplies and marched to the back room. She quickly changed into the clean uniform, put on a bartender apron before walking out of the restaurant to open outdoor umbrellas. Bette looked up in the sky and could look directly at the sun. The face of the sun was hidden behind a thick veil of gray. It was if the sun was being darkened by some kind of heavy smoke or dense cloud.
As she opened yet another umbrella, as if by chance her gaze flicked along the street, when suddenly, she spotted a black massive SUV parked across the street half way down the block. Bette froze for a moment. She could vaguely hear the motor running. The headlights were off because it was daytime. The windows were dark-tinted, but Bette could recognize a man sitting behind the wheel, a still figure in shadow.
The brunette proceeded to open the rest of the umbrellas while stealing glances at the SUV. Shaking off her paranoia, Bette came back into the restaurant. She grabbed the sidewalk sign and walked outside again.
The SUV was still there.
Bette clenched her jaw as she fixed the sign on the pavement. She straightened out and stared intently at the SUV as if daring it to challenge her. When she took a step forward, determined to confront whoever was sitting inside, the SUV pulled away from the curb. Bette’s chest tightened and breath hitched in her lungs as the car moved slowly and ponderously past her, its stance almost threatening. With a roar, the SUV then gained speed and disappeared down the street like a bat out of hell.
Breathing freely now, Bette swallowed. Her heart was pounding fiercely while she struggled to push unwanted assumptions from her mind. She suddenly found herself feeling equally unsafe and vulnerable. Memories were rising to the surface and no matter how logic reasoned with her fear, fear was close to taking hold.

Wow!!!
I’m login at the right time n be the first to put a comment..
Tks Valerie…i’ve been waiting this update so long…
Welcome back Valerie:
I have missed this wonderful story these past three months. Finally, Bette and Tina found their way to each other.
I honestly think that Brenda is a little bit cruel in this chapter, I’m not going to discuss if Tina cheated or not on Brenda, I don’t think she did; she may love Brenda those last two years, but she was always in love with Bette; a love Tina didn’t know if it would be reciprocated in the present because of the way she and Bette parted.
Tina broke with Brenda and I believe this one should move on, what was the point to be cruel with her ex unless she wanted Tina back with her.
The situation now is if Bette is being followed by any shadow of her past and if she and Tina could make their life together.
Thanks for this excellent chapter. Please post soon.

I feel for Brenda but since she knew about Bette, I figure she & Tina talked about her in some detail. Never got the sense that Tina expected Brenda to meet the “high”bar that Bette had set in heart those many years ago.
Remember, NEITHER Bee nor Tee were searching for one another when B was released (early to boot) from prison. They had NOT communicated during Bettes’ incarsaration. So Bette was hitchikin’ on her way to somewhere/anywhere!!!
The heart-stopping encounter at the grocery store running into Tina was NOT something planned!!!
You’re right some things are meant to be, the encounter at the store was like that.
Agree. One of the reasons I don try to set up an encounter after meeting a person or peeps that I want to encounter more than once.
This was a lovely chapter to return to!!! I didn’t realize how much I missed those two together or all of you. I am sitting on my couch in tears- happy tears. I have managed to get all my Graduate classes finished but two and they will be this summer. Now All I have to do is write Theses! This site is such a good writing prompt. Thanks to those who waited patiently.
I’m truly impressed with how many of you whether an author or faithful reader have pursued graduate degrees in sickness or in health!
Know that we cheer you on!!!
How brilliant to see the return of this great story.
Thanks for a Chapter which made me smile and cry in almost equal proportions.
See we still have the final page raising anxiety levels as usual though!
Happy to see we may not have to wait too long for the next post:-)
Seriously thanks for posting again on this story, it’s like the return of an old friend.
Loved it!

100% with you sweet lady SassyGran
I almost couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this post! What an amazing weekend this is turning out to be already!
This chapter was very much needed and long overdue for these two. My heart is as happy as I’m sure theirs is. This was so beautifully written as always, I swear I could feel every emotion.
Thank you so much for continuing this story and please post very soon!
my thoughts for sure
Hi! Thanks for the chater! It was definitely worth the waiting!
More than Tibette sex (which i also love very much) i love Bette’s words about how she thought about Tina every day. I like their time together.
Brenda – i don’t know but their farewell talk might be much worse, so i guess it’s was not awful for Tina.
But who was in SUV?
Waiting for the next!
Valerie understands the spiritual connection that is Tibette and has woven that into her writing. Brava!!
Now who is in the SUV??? Friend or foe? I may have to back to archives to feview “who was where” when Bette was arrested
Beautiful writing! Please don’t make us wait to long for an update to this wonderful story!
If person in the SUV is trouble wonder if has connection w/ Bettes’ jerk-off Parol Officer!! He certainly has it in for her.
Yeah, back after three months!!! Welcome!!!!
Shame on me that i wasn’t able to read before now!!! Busy with work and looking for a hotel in Paris to see a exhibition from Laurel Holloman aka Tina this July.
Ok, back to the chapter, i am excited that they connected again and that Tina is finally choosing to listen to herself and not doing what others tell her to do, feel or run her life.
Brenda is a bitch, ofcourse she is hurt i understand that, but she is just plain wrong and if there is someone that can possible put in danger Bette it could be her, pa Kennard or that other bitch Karen and the parole officer.
Why oh why must all the authors end their chapters with cliffies ???? to keep us hanging for sure ????
Valerie, i missed you dearly, please try to update in less than a month ????
welcome back Valerie, been waiting for this.
I feel for Brenda, but an happy Bette and Tina found their way back to each other. But I seriously fear for Bette, Tina’s family might try to mess with her
Thank you loved the chapter.. scary to be looking over your shoulder all the time..hope things get better for her soon.
Back to give a comment
Honestly 16 pages is not enough..I really love this story very much :)
Please update really soon ^_^
Now Tibette are back i wonder what kind of obstacles will stand on their way??
3 years of parole is a long time, someone could come to provoke bette so she will be back to prison. No matter what, i hope Bette could hang on and keep clean for their future.
And i hope now Tina could really proof her loveto bette and stay by her side despite all the trouble they would have in the future.
Tks for the nice chapter Valerie
It’s been a month from the last update, re-read this one while waiting the next one, and feeling uneasy with one of Tina’s line
“……….And if I never, in my life, get to be with you for some reason, the very last time that this heart beats – it will beat for you.”
Why do i feel like it was a sign that somehow there would be trouble in paradise and Bette and Tina would be seperated again..???hemmm…could it be her father will use his connection to put Bette back in jail? Or Brenda being a crazy jealous heartbroken bitch seeking for a revenge?? or her parole officer spying over her neck waiting for her to fall down?? or even her dark life in the past has chased her back?? And thinking that why Karen was a bitch to Tina? Could it be that karen actually has fallen in love with Bette and she felt jealous of her own sister?
couldn’t wait to see…
Please…please…please update soon Valerie.. :)
