Lifeless Chptr. 4
In the beginning Marissa had understood her to a point, but after a while she began to feel like if she was truly in love with her she would allow her into this space. Her space. She was wrong. Bette had without a second thought shot down the idea of her purchasing a small plant for her office. From there she knew that Bette’s space was impenetrable, much like everything else in her life.
………………………………
Kit had come over to Bette’s a little after 2 o’clock. She didn’t worry about waking her because she knew that Bette never slept before 3 am on most troubled nights. It was a habit she’d developed since college. She’d become so obsessed with her work that she’d barely allowed time for much else, and when she did, she gave just enough to sustain herself for whatever period of time would ease her mind long enough to get back to the task at hand. She’d cultivated some strange and other wise unpractical relationships that still stood today. And some even withstood her relationship with Marissa. Those few who had waited out the inevitable break up, knew it was only a matter of time and patience before they saw her again in their beds.
Tonight was no different from any other time Kit would come over from her show, she’d find Bette in her office staring ahead at nothing and lost in her own mind’s maze. Though she’d never walk past the threshold, she knew she was the only one allowed to do so. Instead she’d lean in and say “Hey Kiddo.” knocking Bette loose enough to smile at her and follow her into whatever room Kit wanted.
Tonight they sat on the couch, facing one another, but not needing words to fill the silence until it was necessary to speak. “Marissa.”
“Yea.” Bette nodded her response to the unspoken question. “Today.” she nodded again. “She moved out today.”
Kit knew it was inevitable that she would, nothing about her appealed to Kit. She’d always thought that the one woman who was truly meant for Bette would shake her up and be the one to rock Bette to her core, Marissa was sadly just average. Like she’d seen her before in many different forms. She’d seen many women try to engrain themselves under Bette’s skin only to realize that she was an immovable force. Their dreams crushed down to reality, some settled for the bedroom and others moved on altogether. Still Bette remained the same. Although Kit had noticed small differences in Bette that she knew were remarkable for her to make, but she knew they held no real significance in who she was in her core being. Marissa was really a reality that was never what Bette needed, only what she thought she could handle.

I hope that these 2 women can find their way to happiness together! Thank you for the depth you have given to these characters. Please post soon!
Wonderful story. It seems so real!
Great update, love the depth of each of them. Can’t wait for more.
Looks as though Tina is trying to turn her life around now and dig out of the pit of despair that she had allowed her self to be so fully immersed. Maybe with her truly lovely smiles and her new attitude she can give some of that to Bette and help her turn her self around as well. Then maybe they can be happy together and we know how much love they can give to each other and with a little to love and cherish as well. That will be a very lucky little baby as well as two lucky and loving moms. Can hardly wait for the rest of the story to see how this plays itself out with our girls. Thanks for posting.
Forgetful me. Thanks for giving us two chapters today. That was great. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Maybe some light will enter Bette’s heart soon. Thank goodness for Alice and Tasha, they are holding Tina together.
Thats good and can’t wait to see B&T get to know each other and get through the pain. Please post more, thanks!
Fantastic story, so beautifully written. Glad that you wrote Rick as such a great guy. Look forward to the developing relationship between Tina and Dr Porter!
Bette is so guarded with her emotions. She may have had a tiny breakthrough when she felt Tina’s genuine concern for her social life. I think it’s going to take a lot more interaction with Tina for either of them to acknowledge that they enjoy each others company.
Excellent Thank you.
