And she had only just been able to get her feet firmly back on the ground for a reasonable length of time, to have some sort of settled life after the debacle that was the reason she had moved to West Hollywood.
She had moved away from the farce that was her life. To begin again, begin a new job, a new apartment that she had settled into the moment she saw it.
And now…, now she had been in the area for a few months, but she had been in her new job two days…, two days since she met someone whom, hard as she tried, hadn’t left her mind for one single minute.
“You know T…, I’m sorry about everything I’ve said here this morning…, I haven’t meant to make you uncomfortable…” Bette suddenly said.
“Please Bette…, turn around…, look at me…” Tina sighed slightly, it was time, she had to tell Bette…
Bette turned slightly, a small smile on her face, a look that almost broke Tina’s heart, a look that suddenly made Tina fully aware of how much of an internal battle Bette was having.
She hadn’t really contemplated the depth of feelings and emotions that Bette had been going through, she had only been thinking about her own.
But her mind recalled the look on Bette’s face in the gallery, the moments where Bette was explaining how the woman in the picture had been at the crossroads, where her heart had given her the inspiration to make a choice in her life… Bette’s eye’s had bored into her…, it was then she had to shut down from the intenseness of the moment…, retreating into her safe place of denial that there was a major life changing thing happening to her.
“I think I need some more coffee…” Bette announced as she turned toward Tina.
Tina noticed the way Bette’s eyes seemed to have closed down, there was no longer the high emotion there, no longer could she see into the depths of blackness.
“Bette…, I need to talk to you…”
“We will…, just let me make some more coffee… okay…”
Tina gave a slight sigh, “okay…” What she had to say was going to be hard enough let alone having to wait to say it.

Beautiful… Jo, I think in the third chapter Tina thinks of the “women who separated her and Tim”… : at the moment, I thought of Tim’s mistress… but could it have been a women who was interested in Tina (or the contrary) ?… which would explain why she would be still married… I hope she would have asked divorce if Tim was gone with another woman ;-) Well, Please post soon… I love this story of yours (like I love all your stories ;-))
….God Jo, I so did not see that one coming, Tina still married to Eric. Was she caught by Eric when she was with a woman? PPS
holy shit!! ummm ya thats gonna put a dent in things
Married? Jesus. Thats not cool. Who the hell is Lily? I hope she is like Bette’s grandmother or something she calls by her first name. These kids need to talk. Yeah, yeah, fun is fun. I love light fun. Its my favorite. But now it has a marriage cloud..and a who the hell has Bette loved with such an intensity cloud over it? Man. PPS.
OMBG ! Still married ?!!… It’s sure going to be hard to explain ! Well, this is one hell of a twist, Jo ! I’m almost speechless… I certainly wouldn’t have imagined that. I really didn’t see that one coming either. Grrrrr,… this is all so frustrating ! Damn you Bette ! Why couldn’t you let her speak ?!… And I also would like to know who this Lily is… She’d better be a relative of Bette’s or a long time friend and not an ex. Anyway, it seems they both have A LOT to explain, huh ? Great chapter, Jo. I mean amaaaazing chapter, but why does it have to be that short ?!
“still married.” Goodness. Never thought she was married to the jerk. That does put a new spin on everything. Can hardly wait to see how Tina extricates herself from this one and how Bette takes the news that Tina does feel something for her even if she is married. Tina needs to be introduced to Joyce Wischnia, NOW. PPS
Dawgone it. Still married! Now that is a new twist. Something has to be done. Tina needs to do something to fix this and Bette needs to understand. What a mess we weave in our lives.
Did not see marriage coming at all! Ooh, jo, bring on more drama, why dontcha!
MMM! Married, huh. Didn’t see that comming. This is a great story. Thanks for taking the time.
Ah… wonderful as always. I felt the tension there… the need to speak and the fear of saying too much. I often wonder why we all think we can outsmart our emotions… when it is obvious that there is no such thing. Thinking will hopefully make us act in a sensible and responsible way… but it doesn’t take away the emotions. Very nice cliffhanger, Jo… total surprise. You really know how to make me want to come back….. every time. Thanks Jo!
I knew it was too good to be true. Jo would never let things go that easily. I have a feeling this slow burn is gonna leave the biggest scar of all her stories!! LOL.
Woah.. Married. Well, you can’t help your situation. Sounds like Tee has some issues. Hopefully, Bette’ll help her through. And hush up enough to listen to Tina’s explanation..
I dare say any conversation of import with Bette will be difficult when she won’t fucking shut and listen. How does going for a dip in the pool constitute ‘working together’?
Wow! Had me on the edge of my seat, very smooth read. Didn’t see the married thing coming. Please let one of them move past their fear soon, …so you don’t kill your readers. PPS!
Oh gosh! Tina’s still married? Well then they certainly have lots to talk about, but only if Bette’s prepared to listen. LOL. Thanks Jo. Keep it coming.
“…still married…” Oh boy, nice monkeywrench, Jo. ===;-O
Hey Jo, What a magnificent cliff hanger you threw in to this mix. It ws pleaseing to see Bette be the one to pull the reins on this runaway horse and give Tina and herself some much needed and appreciation time. This time will give them clarity as to their true desires and passions. I do believe that Bette and Tina belong together. The interences of every-day life will affect them now but aren’t unsurmountable. The instantaneous connection between them will not allow them to deny its existence but just burn under the skin until it becomes all consumming and actions will speak louder than words. Now they just need to take the time provided and see where this will lead. Tina’s marriage is only one thing to discuss as I am sure that there are other issues that could affect them eventual happiness. Belief and trust in each other will see them through. Now they need to be honest to their emotions and each other.. Please continue this marvelous melodrama soon. My poor heart demands it. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
What a monkey wrench indeed.Is her marriage to a male or another female.Nah probably ERIC.Ahh gross.Don’t you hate when you have something to say and theother person keeps interrupting?Jo this is wonderful.Keep going.
“married”?! where did that come from! you really pulled the rug from under my feet!
damn!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Whistles* Married, huh? Good luck with composing yourself for bringing up *that*, T. Great stuff, Jo. Bring on the drama! Thanks for the post.
I agree with funnyone Bette needs to Let Tina get a word in edgewise. Knowing Bette the s**t is going to hit the fan when she finally decides to stop talking and listen. They need to slow down and spend some time getting to know each other and try to ease some of the tention between them.
I’m with Funnyone…I kept thinking, “shut up Bette!! Shut up and let Tina talk!” LOL Still married…yikes! Thanks!
Aarrgghh….still no talk OR kiss as promised!!! LOL. It’s impossible not to enjoy this ride mate….you are amazing.
whoa Bette sure doesn’t know how to allow Tina to get out her words unimpeded…she should’ve just shut up and let T spill it…then at least she’d know where she stood…but oh that’s big mouth Bette; no wonder her and Al r best friends, lol. Sometimes she should just take a big breath and shut it…listen instead…give T the space to get a few words in…reminds me of when T came home from Joyce’s and said she wanted to tell Bette something…she doesn’t seem to have the intuition of sensing someone elses space.
With that ending you dropped something on my head and I didn’t see it coming.
Oh damn drama coming!
