“Sound’s like Angie is up.” She said. “Has Bette introduced you yet?”
“No” Abby said quietly, yet another thing Tina had to offer which she did not.
“Would you like to come and see her?” Tina asked “She’s probably feeling social after her nap.”
“You know, it’s been a long day. I think I might just head home, I have some work I really should finish tonight.” Abby replied in an effort to excuse herself from the uncomfortable situation which seemed to be getting worse by the second.
“I’m sure Bette won’t be too much longer, you’re welcome to wait.” Tina assured.
“No, really. I think I should move on.” Abby said graciously.
“All right then. “ Tina nodded “I’ll let Bette know you dropped by.”
“Thanks” Abby smiled as Tina opened the door for her.
Abby drew a deep breath of the evening air as soon as she heard the door shut behind her. Her hands shook as she unlocked her car and climbed in. Abby’s mind reeled in response to this unexpected turn of events. It was Wednesday and she was supposed to be in San Francisco for a meeting. She hadn’t spoken to Bette since the trip had been cancelled. It had been a snap decision to turn up unannounced at Bette’s house to surprise her girlfriend.
“The joke’s on you.” Abby said to herself as she pulled her Mercedes coupe away from the curb at speed.
‘She did tell you that I was staying here though didn’t she?’ Tina’s question echoed in her mind, each time her heart ached a little more. What was it she had said to Bette when they’d last discussed Tina Kennard? Something to the effect that it was OK for her to have dinner with Tina just don’t take her home and sleep with her. Bette had some questions to answer. The first being why her ex-wife was living with her once again?
Abby slid on her headset and dialed Bette’s number, predictably it quickly went to voicemail. Abby waited somewhat impatiently until she heard the beep and could start her message.
“Hey Bette, it’s just me. This is crazy, we haven’t been able to connect for days. Anyway, my trip to San Francisco got cancelled. I dropped by your place to see if I could interest you in some company but apparently you already have that taken care of. Whatever Tina is cooking for dinner smells wonderful, if I were you I’d hurry home. I know I said that I wouldn’t stand in the way of you getting your family back but couldn’t you have at least had the courtesy to tell me before she moved back in with you?” Abby paused for a second to reign in her emotions. “I really don’t know what else to say other than I’m really, really disappointed. I thought you…I don’t know, I thought you had a little more substance, Bette. My mistake. Bye.”
Abby ended the call and sighed heavily.
“Fuck” She whispered while still trying to grasp what she had been confronted with at Bette’s house. Putting the pieces together there really was only one obvious answer. Tina had come over seeking to reconcile and, from the look of things, Bette had obliged. It didn’t take a genius to see that three was a crowd.
Abby shook her head as if to shift the unpleasant thoughts from her mind as she turned onto Wilshire and sped towards her home.

Oh good, one more thing out of the way to get B&T back together. Bette should explain to Abby what’s really going on, but break up with her anyway :). Thanks for posting HackGirl.
Pish posh the fact that Bette did not bother to tell her should show her how high she rates on that list of priorities… It sucks but damn she needs to get a clue. Bette’s attention span only seems to be able to expand to a certain limit and with Tina and Angelica back in her life Abby will have to come out fighting Ninja style and shit.
“Bette’s attention span only seems to be able to expand to a certain limit ” …I agree with Slipperynipple, Bette is probably totally distracted by the change in affairs chez Porter. Having Tina and the baby there has turned her world upsidedown – for the good! This is the second time that Abby has had to pull “her Mercedes coupe away from the curb at speed.”, each time she has come to Bette’s house. Get a clue, Abby! Hackgirl, I love this story and wish you could post more often. It has substance! Thanks!
If I’m getting the chronology right, this is the Wednesday that Abby suggested Bette should take Tina out for dinner. Did Abby think she was going to stop by and nix those plans??? One should never get mixed up with a recent divorcee, you might end up as the rebound girl. I think Bette’s intentions are noble, but Tina has that 3 trump cards: 8 years of history, Angelica and the fact that Bette still loves her. This story does have an interesting premise though. Thanks!
Uh oh… Bette you are in trouble! Abby seems like a nice girl, she don’t deserve this. Porter, you have some explanations to make. Make up your mind, woman! More please its way too short! :)
Darn it you have me feeling bad for Abby. Good story. Looking forward to where you take it but I’m not getting my TiBette excited quite yet.
Hacker, Only 1 page??? We need more please post soon. ;)
Abbey shouldn’t jump toconclusions.She should give Bette a chance to explain. Maybe Bette felt that she should tell her when she got back from her conference (to reassure her she didn’t have anything to worry about) Bette didn’t know her conference was cancelled….awwww who am I kidding…Abby’s toast….lol
Good to see you back HG! I guess Ms.Abbey is not that high on the priority scale. If not Bette should have had the decency to tell the woman about the living situation..oh well! Post soon!
HG its been awhile always leavin us wanting more
Only one page in such a long time… Girl, you’re so cruel… *run off to cry*. =P
Poor Abby, if they’re not meant to stay together, at least she deserves a good break up. Or a good love from Bettte ?
This sucks. I really wanted to hate Abby. I mean, I wanted to hate her more than I hate Janelle and Howie on Big Brother and that’s a lot of hatred. But now I feel really bad for her. Bette should’ve told Abby what was going on.
abby’s right, bette should’ve told her but even if bette’s intentions are not about reconciling with tina (which i think she will let abby know about), i hope from now on it will be
You give such thought to your stories. You’re definitely one of my “go to” authors if I’m looking for a good read. Thanks for writing when you can.
Uh oh trouble coming for Bette and drama coming for them. Ok post soon please, thanks!
I need…no wait…crave more, please HG. Bette’s not being very sensitive to others, is she now?
HOLLY SMOKES BATMAN!OR BETTE,THERES TROUBLE BREWING.I CAN SMELL IT! GREAT CHAPTER BUTTTT TOOOOOO SHORT DEAR!
Hey HG, Thank you for returning this this masterpiece and giving us a little insight into Abby’s point of view. Yes, I want Bette and Tina back together because they just fit so well; they compliment one another. Bette should have told Abby the truth about Tina’s living arrangements but its not the kinda thing you want to leave on a voicemail. Face to face is best and that hasn’t been possible as Bette thought Abby was in ‘Frisco. I just hope that Bette can make amends and end things amicably with Abby. Let’s give Bette a break and allow her to realize the deepth of her love for Tina. Brilliant writing and I adore the way in which you create such believable sides to the story. Everyone has their own voice and opinions. Awesome. Thank you again for this treat. Your Loyal Fan.
Great story. I like Abbey and feel bad for her. She doesn’t stand a chance. Everything is stacked against her. Unless, Tina does some Exorcist thing and her head spins around and flips out. Bette may realize she’s making another huge mistake.
