Chapter 35
“This is so good…” Bette said as she munched her way through the spicy king prawn.
Tina smiled, Bette was eating like someone possessed, she was sure in that moment that Bette hadn’t had a proper meal in days, which was understandable given the circumstances, “have you actually eaten since I left?”
Bette stopped chewing and glanced at Tina, “how many days were you gone?”
Tina smirked, “so…, when you said you missed me…, you weren’t counting the days?”
Bette swallowed and took a breath, she knew Tina was joking but it still hit a nerve, “well, I kinda had my hands full this end to be honest…” she said quietly as she looked down at her plate.
“Bette…” Tina said as she laid her hand on Bette’s arm, she wouldn’t make hurtful comments for the world, but she also didn’t want to focus on the negative, this was meant to be an evening to relax, “I was joking babe…”
“I know…, sorry…”
“No, it’s me who should be sorry, I was being insensitive…”
“T…, it’s okay…, I missed you more than you could possibly imagine and I was counting the days until it happened…, then the hours kind of ran into one another…”
Tina took in the words, and watched as Bette resumed eating her meal, “you know I would have called you even more if I hadn’t forgotten my cell charger…”
Bette paused for a moment before looking at Tina, “I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you about Lily…”
Tina gave a mere smile, “it’s okay…, I understand…”
“You do?”
“Well kind of…, I think maybe our communication was lapse while I was away, but I had no phone for a couple of days and stupidly didn’t write any numbers down before the battery died, but I…” Tina’s voice trailed off as she looked away from Bette.
“I should have answered the calls…”
“Bette, I couldn’t be mad or annoyed with you for not being able to tell me or…, anyone for that matter…”
“But I…” Bette took a deep breath, “it was like…, if I had to say it aloud then…”
“It would have made it real?”

Ok so I think I’m going to have to start leaving more comments if that means more chappies. Well not that one thing has to do with the other but I would like to think so! I left one last time and look at how fast you posted!! Amazing update… I already said it but it’s great to have you back! PPS xo
Hello Jo… I can remember a time when those five words combined with those three little words would send my heart and soul into a frenzy… it isn’t until you have lost everything… it isn’t until you have looked into the deepest abyss and found yourself falling that you can finally admit to yourself and in turn admitting to those that you love and those that ‘might’ love you… it is at this moment when you can expose yourself and show your vulnerabilities… you my most amazingly beautiful and talented friend have once again awoken memories that have been long buried and for that I thank you… it is painful and brings back some of the most intense memories of my recent past but in these memories I can feel their love… I can see their faces and I can say goodbye… you are an amazing gift an amazing soul thank you for being you, love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and Ever Loving Cuzzie to the ever Brilliant and Talented Eunichick)
So sweet, I can feel bette’s fears and how hard it is for her to let anyone in until now. Great descriptions and so much emotion. Thanks for this
So glad you have brought this story back. It really is a wonderful love story.
Amazing!!!! What a beautiful post!!! Thank you Jo PPS
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need I say more ?
That was brilliant and so heart warming my super talented friend, I adore you and what you write, your chapters and words just get better and better in the way they make us feel, it’s full of everything, reading for you really gives me a taste of lots of feelings, it’s so rich my dear Jo. I am thankful for having you as one of the most brilliant writers in Fan Fiction. I am looking forward for your next chapter, don’t keep us waiting dear, thank you. Love
You’re the only one that could unfold this love story with such care and grace. You’re the best, Jo. Thanks for your Thanksgiving gift.
Mate, you bring the essentials of love to life in how you have written this chapter. Bette WILL be able to really feel that love that Tina is giving if she really “let’s her in.” Love can be so amazing when you are with someone who you know you can be yourself 100 percent, and in being yourself you feel an acceptance, safety, and reassurance like no other. To know that someone loves you that much, that deep, and is willing to share that love with you is something that doesn’t come around too often. I hope that Bette will allow Tina the chance to show what real love is. Oh goodness, how real is a Fan Fic ? LMAO!!! You did it again, just have me sucked in! Take care Jo and post A LOT seeing that Jill isn’t going to be nearby! ;-) xo
Great chapter, love how they are connecting…
Love how Tina has no reservations or hesitation for saying what is in her heart when it comes to Bette. That kind of love will let Bettes feelings awaken and bloom. This is a beautiful story Jo, Thank you for bringing it back. Md
Another amazing chapter.
Oh Jo…I have truly missed you. That was beautifully written. I am more than excited you are continuing this story.
beautiful…i really like when those two talk, there’s never enough of that on the show…but i don’t mind a little loving too, later ;)
Great chapter!! This lady slayer is about to be slain. Love it. Keep it coming. PPS
I think they’re both about to have the best night’s sleep they’ve ever had.
Hey, Jo! Thanks for this extraordinary update. Bette is emotionally overwhelmed and exhausted due to the loss of Lilly. We smiled when Bette made the effort to let Tina take care of her. Also, it still surprises her how she is able to relax in front of Tina and that she’s not afraid to show her vulnerable side. We could feel the magic bond that B&T are now accepting they have. The trust is growing little by little. Tina’s offer to stay at her house to sleep was endearing. We just love how you are telling this story, Jo. Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
HEARTBREAKINGLY SWEET…lovely. Thank u.
Hey…Beautifully written and as always you get a feeling of almost being there, watching their story unfold…which is down to you,you have this talent for bringing every chapter alive,where i can almost “see” it aswell as reading it…Loved all this and tho with Lily dying, it could have been a place to finish this story if you had wanted to….But im really glad you didnt..Thanks x
that was beautiful!
So happy that Bette is gradually letting down those walls that have stopped her from having a meaningful relationship in the past. Knowing that she doesn’t have to do everything by herself anymore is really gratifying. She has projected this image for so long and all the while inside she was and felt so alone with no one to call her own and no one to hold her close at night, to instill that feeling of being safe with someone as well as being loved by that person. Wonderful chapter Ms. Jo and I’m happy that Tina was not turned off by Bette’s aloofness, she as able t see thru the label and see the person within. Thanks for posting for us today and allowing us once again to see how caring and being loved can affect a person.
Just want to hold you are lovely words that Bette needed to hear. The conversation was one that Bette needed to hear and one that Tina needed to say. What beautiful way to tell someone that you love them after such a tragedy.
loved this Jo… and so glad bette is breaking down that wall… loved the last line by tina… hey Lady Slayer…, you know I’m not actually talking about the performance of the century…” but we can’t wait for that night… PPS
