Involuntarily, Tina ran her fingers through the sticky mess in her hair.
“Milkshake,” she said quietly. “Although it’s really none of your business!”
Bette sniffed the air curiously.
“Smells like bananas!” she said, looking sideways to Helena with a smirk, before returning to gaze at Tina. “My nose tells me you’ve met Alice’s new friend, Harry. And apparently he doesn’t like you very much.”
Helena stifled a giggle.
“Shut up, Helena!” Tina growled. “I wish you’d leave so I can talk to my girlfriend.”
“I’m not your girlfriend, Tina. Remember?”
“Bette, I’ll just go. Get dressed,” Helena said calmly, turning to walk to the bedroom. “It’s for the best,” she added, squeezing Bette’s hand before she let go.
“And you can quit trying to buy my daughter’s affections with kittens…and…and…and whatever else you may have in mind!” Tina yelled.
Helena disappeared into Bette’s bedroom as Tina and Bette watched.
Bette turned and scowled at Tina.
She grabbed her hand and dragged her to the sofa.
“Sit down!” Bette demanded.
Tina sat.
She turned and stared at Bette sitting next to her.
“Alice called you?”
“Yes,” Bette answered.
“What are you doing here, Tina? What has gotten into you?” Bette asked coolly.
Tina’s hands caught her face, as she bent over and shook her head vigorously.
“I don’t know,” she muttered before looking up. “Bette, this morning I got up. I stumbled into the kitchen all alone. And began making coffee. All alone. And I turned on the radio. To our station. You know?” she explained, searching Bette’s eyes for comprehension. “And I was all alone.”
“And you heard Nat King Cole,” Bette said.
“Yes,” Tina said. “You heard it too?”
Bette nodded.
“And you thought about us. All those years. When we’d dance…and then make…”
Bette put her finger to Tina’s lips. “Don’t,” Bette cautioned. “And yes. I heard it. And, yes. I thought about you.”
For a moment, Tina had that look of hope in her eyes. But that hope was quickly extinguished.
“Tina. I’ve met someone. Helena. And I want to move on. Please don’t do this,” Bette said quietly.

I will be back I just wanted you to know that you are the best… love and hugs, JC
Tina calmed down rather quickly, I must say. Or should I say ‘post haste’?
Post hastily, zheese.
Post Hastily indeed! Is this twice in two days or am I dreaming? Is anyone gonna introduce Fluffy to Tina?!!! Maybe she likes banana! LOL
Just when you make us believe that hell is going to break out. You turn everything around and tina is a gentle pussy cat and Helena is the Lion Queen. thanks
Hellbent your so bad “maybe fluffy likes bananas”. Zheese what are you scared of? If there were still those contests for the writers here you would have won that funny catagorie one. You did have me wondering what was going on with the whole Tinas mad and Bettes nervous about it things, then I though Helena was going to get turned off and leave post haste, so glad things are working out and looking forward to were they go so even if you get scared, pretend your not and post anyway. Have a good turkey day, Thank you, Md
dang Z, you let tina have it with both barrels and it was bloody marvelous…LOL…you write A so well!! Really enjoyed the post and Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
yep yep yep… you are as Tina Turner… not “Tina” would say ‘simply the best’ you my most amazing friend are truly so very freaking good… you never cease to amaze me with just how much you can move me… with your words… with your delicate humor… I wish I was ‘funny’ like you :D… but more so with your incredible friendship… you know I love ya right… always and forever my friend… always and forever, much love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and extremely excited Cuz to the ever beautiful Dragonfly Eunichick)
Zheese, Good to see Tina and Bette making some progress in dealing with their past. Yes, they are forever linked by Angelica and the time they spent together. Now is the time to put the past in its place and look to live in the moment and plan for the future. And it Bette’s case that is with Helena. Tina needs to move on and find her own path. Just brilliantly written and capture all the right and proper emotions. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Sounds like Tina is heeding the advice I was going to suggest….It’s over. Get over it….Now as for poor cute wittle Angewica. No wonder da kid can’t speak cowwectwy. Mama Tina weinforces it….Hopefully hanging out with our fair lady Helena will correct that speak impedent post-haste.
That should be “speech impediment”. Fingers impediment got away from me.
I think Bette is alot more tolerant than I would be, barging in uninvited and screaming at Bette and Helena, accusing them of being inappropriate with Angelica, because Helena stayed with Bette..”What are you teaching my child?…..No tina, bringing in guys off the street and banging them in your partner’s bed is inappropriate, saying all kids of shit, and then just, “oh well I was missing you..” and that was supp.osed to make it all better. I know they are connected because of Anglelica but they are no longer together and Tina needs to respect that, and Bette and Helena. If she is missing Bette, she is SOL. I would have Tina out on the doorstep until she could treat me and my partner and my home and my relationship wit hmy child, with respect.
Apparently I have caught Squirl’s finger impediment cos I kant tipe so gude tu.
that was kinda of awkward (the conversation, not the writing)…i can’t imagine trying to have that conversation with an ex…sometimes i think tina is crazy, lol…anyway, that was great z, pps!
Hey baby let me tell you that you handle it perfect, no need to be scared of anything. You are a good writer otherwise you wouldn’t have brought home the BeLena trophee,right? I know it can be very difficult to get over a relationship, especially when little things like songs, places you used to go to and other stuff reminds you of the good times but there comes a time you have to let go and move on with your life and that’s what Tina needs to do. Their relationship wasnt working so what’s the use of keep on trying making each other more and more miserable. I thought for a moment B&H were both going to jump at her throat but lucky for her that didn’t happen. Oh and have I already told you I adore your Angie, you write her the cutest way I’ve ever read so far :). Great chapter baby!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz that was a wonderful chapter you wrote here and loved how it all worked out at the end. There was even a bit of humor in it, thanks to Harry,,LOL. Wonderful!!!!
You wrote that so well! Not only was it a great chapter, but you also gave us flashes of the old Bette. To you and your family have a happy and safe holiday!
Graet Chapter!!! I so love Harry!!!! Thank you
LOL. I love Harry!!! Great chapter!
