I’ve Got You Under My Skin – Chapter 7
Story written on September 4, 2005 by hey_portard.
Bette: “You do not need to apologize. You did nothing wrong. I feel horrible for bringing so much pain upon you by my hurtful words and actions. I . . .”
Tina: (interrupting Bette) “Bette . . . Bette . . . I forgive you. It’s okay. We all say and do things sometimes that we aren’t proud of, but I know you are sincerely sorry. But don’t think that it’s your fault for my emotional breakdown.”
Bette: “But you were fine until you realized it was me that was the monster you ran into yesterday.”
Tina: “I have been carrying a lot of baggage with me lately and you were the only a minute piece that set me off. I actually should be thanking you. I feel a lot better now that I got that all out.”
Bette: (with tenderness in her voice) “Oh, God. That’s a relief. (getting a little emotional)Watching you cry I realized that I don’t take into account other people’s feelings too
often because of this protective wall I’ve build around myself to keep others from hurting me. I have turned into a complete savage . . . a monster. I don’t know when it happened, but it did. I need to be thanking you for making me see the truth. I am just so sorry you had to be the victim of one of my savage moments.”
Tina just looks into Bette’s eyes and smiles. Bette hands Tina the washcloth and begins to act extremely timid. Tina begins to wipe her face and immediately feels as if the weight on her shoulders is no longer being carried alone.
Tina: “Just for the record, you are not a savage or a monster. You are a very caring individual. I can see it in your eyes. I am sorry that you have had circumstances in your life in which you have had to build up a wall to protect yourself from hurt. It looks like the very thing that is protecting you has also taken you prisoner.”
Bette: “*****. Wow. I have never gotten that much insight out of one of my counseling sessions with Dan Foxworthy. I should be writing you the check for $150 for an hour.”

OMG! Hey Portard Still wonderful story I Love it Thanks gosh Tina give Bette some chance and it’s really Sweet OMG! I really Love it Thank you Please continue Please.
Wonderful chapter showing a new love in its first bloom of passion, how beautiful. Thank you for this story. plese continue.
Oh, I just caught up with this story and I’m loving it. I’m glad the fight between Bette and Tina was REAL and that Tina didn’t just give into Bette. Because what Bette said and did was truly hurtful. Tina had every right to be really upset. Ohhh, it’s going to be a long week for both of them—AND US!!!
Sweet stuff. Bette showed admirable restraint. They’re going to the same conference,right? Looking forward to more.
YES,sometimes you just have to keep pushing and trying. I would have done the same thing Bette did when she opened the car door. What a way to end the evening, sleeping under the stars in a double lounge chair together. I’m gonna go with the others and figure Bette and Tina are going to the same place. Keep up the good work.

i loved this post, i think it’s only tina that brings the sweet and loving side of one miss porter, i think is kind of cute that these 2 could forget their argument and just want 2 be in each others arms.
Hey – again another great chapter….I just loves your writing and the B&T connection. Can’t wait for more. My guess is…Bette is going to San F?
Thankfully Tina couldn’t find her keys. I’m glad they talked and got everything cleared. Also happy to see the restraint from Bette.
