Tina paused as she looked at her ex-wife and took a deep breath.
Thanks for reminding me of why I left, Bette. You saved me from making a huge mistake. Now that everything had been said, Tina stepped around Bette and pulled the front door open.
You thought youd made a mistake in leaving? Bette asked as though she couldnt believe what shed heard. The fiery bluster had left her, Tina had completely disarmed her with the simple declaration.
Yes Tina replied But now I see that it was just me being sentimental.
Bette could only watch in amazement as Tina blinked back tears.
Tina, sit down She pleaded Tell me whats wrong. I didnt mean to upset you.
Tina shook her head. Letting go of the door she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
No, I think its best if I just go home. She said with a sad smile.
Bette didnt dare to tell Tina that she was home.
Are you happy? Bette asked simply. It wasnt a jibe, it wasnt some form of manipulation, it was just a sincere inquiry.
Tina hesitated as she considered her response before eventually replying with a quiet Yes.
To anyone else this response would have seemed genuine but, after so many years, Bette knew the small things which indicated that Tina wasnt being entirely honest with herself or anyone else.
Goodnight Bette said as Tina left the house.
Bye Tina replied before closing the door.
Despite herself Bette stood still and watched at Tina disappeared into the night.
Snapping out of her trance like state Bette retreived her cell phone and dialled Abby’s number.
“Hey, I’m sorry” She said apologetically.
She listened intently to her justifiably annoyed girlfriend briefly before replying “The night is not beyond repair. Tina is gone, no explanation, nothing. I can be at your place in 20 minutes if it’s OK with you?” Bette’s voice dripped with honey as the attempted to win over Abby’s rejected ego.
With Abby’s consent Bette smiled, picked up her bag and headed for the door. “I’m leaving right now. Be there soon.” She said before hanging up the phone and and locking the front door behind her.

B&T have so many issues that they always will hung over them until they will confront them and also until they will know what they want (especially tina)…it’s so upsetting
WTF. Tina intrudes into Bette’s house without a clear explanation for the visit in the first place (just some mumbo jumbo about walking down memory lane while she waited for Bette’s return), and then yells at and blames Bette (yet again) for causing the fall-out of their relationship. What the heck does this woman want? Leave Bette alone and let her live in peace for once. Jeez.
Tina, if you don’t want Henry leave him. Then if you want Bette go back to her. Don’t make Henry the consolation prize. Also, you don’t respect Bette as Angie’s mother if she only gets evey other weekend and you let the baby call Henry Daddy. What did Bette do that was so bad, asked a burning question that you didn’t answer? Bette is left to assume the worst. You did screw Henry in her bedroom, make her take your new family photo then watch you leave with her daughter. How is Bette the bad guy here? You only told her that you thought you’d made a mistake by leaving to toture her, by then you were already out the door again. Is this Love Tina?
Ok what the hell Tina want now and she just keep come back and make Bette sad. Ok post soon please, thanks!
So many emotions. Tina has Bette and us all upset. I hope there is still hope for them… :)
A tense exchange to say the least. Thanks for the post.
Oh, it is cruel to leave us like this! Can we request more frequent and longer chapters? I loved the B&T in your previous stroies, but I haven’t been able to see any glimpse of that in this current one. And I don’t mean the intensely in love B&T. I understand that they are separated and at odds in this current story, but somehow I am missing the essential characterization that you had nailed previously.
Tina is so fucking infuriating!!! What does she want, seriously? I will pay the next schmoe, person, Daniel or Darcy a million dollars to freaking tell me what this woman wants. Bette should have asked back for her keys…lol Great one Hackgirl
That’s a difficult one i think ! Tina must be torned between her old feelings and the ones that are growing but i really don’t think she is allowed to put faith in Bette like that and just walk away. It is like the stick and the carrot way of being! Like that one Hackgirl !!
It seems to me that both Tina and Bette have still so many issues that need to be resolved between them for either one of them to move on, Tina showing up out of the blue tells me that she is not happy in her current relationship, Bette is still in love with Tina but they are unable to voice this to each other, looking forward to how this story is going to unfold. Thank you.
OK, say it with me: Tina is passive-agressive. Big time. Or just plain wishy-washy. As constant as the breeze. Bette may have been unfaithful for a couple of weeks, Tina’s vacillated for years. Bette better think very hard about how one can safely build foundations on quicksand. Or if that’s even possible. Resuming her date was the best thing she could do.
ohhh lalalala…….i love this ………i love drama…..and this is excellent…..continue soon please……..
Why did Tina go there, if not to tell Bette that she is not happy? Is Tina thinking that Bette has finally moved on? These two keep getting their wires crossed and finally need to stop the BS that keeps coming between them.
I still don’t like Abby. lol But at the same time I’m not thrilled that Tina let’s Angelica call Henry “daddy.”
This is why I have problems with tina and her behavior. What does she want?- this is the 1 million dollar question that screams to be answered. Does she have a backbone? Bette should have thrown her out of the house! Please continue!
Got to remember that Micky is around Angie a lot and she picks up on words.and Daddy would be one of them. Its not fsir thst Tina can just walk in and out of Bette home and life when she feels like it. Thanks
say Tina’s outside in her car crying….let BETTE SEE HER!!!!!!!!
Okay…I am just copying what slipperynipple said…Tina is so fucking infuriating!!! What does she want, seriously?!! Okay, this is my own….And, why did she get so mean again with Bette? I can’t imagine anyone NOT being upset if Tina said “You haven’t lost your daughter, Betteâ€, and then admits that she let’s Bette’s daughter call Henry “Daddy.” Tina is incredibly screwed up and needs some help! She is still the passive aggresive slippery slope that she has always been!!!!! Thanks!
Tina is not making friends! Bette has her moments where Tina’s comment about remembering why she left is valid. This would not have been one of them! Push – pull – push – pull , huh, the rope broke? how’d that happen? Well done – still waiting to see how you redeem Tina!
too much issue between them. but i’m forever believing that they are meant to be together.
Gosh, people are really upset with Tina. I imagine Tina is upset with herself and with Bette for causing this nightmare from the beginning. Anger is a wonderful defense mechcanism and Tina uses it well.
