Fuck, Bette thought as she took in a noticeably deep breath.
“Oh…um, she had, uh, plans already.” Bette said, evading the truth.
“Oh.” Tina responded, quietly. “You guys meeting up later?”
“Not exactly.”
“Why not?”
Bette finally turned to meet Tina’s eyes again.
“I’m sorry, Bette, it’s none of my business. Forget I asked.” Tina knew she had been pushing, but as a glutton for punishment, she wanted to know as much as she could about the new woman in Bette’s life.
Both women again returned their focus on the road ahead of them as Bette merged onto the freeway. The next song played softly, filling the awkward silence of the front seat. After a moment, Bette stole a glance at her ex.
“She’s on a date.”
Tina acknowledged the admission with a silent look. Her brow was furrowed, evidencing the confusion the new information had caused. Swallowing, she looked out her window at the passing billboards and slower traffic.
“Alice made it sound like you two were pretty exclusive.”
Bette chuckled with a touch of sarcasm. “Yeah. That’s probably because I made it sound like it was pretty exclusive.”
Tina detected the uneasiness in Bette’s voice, but knew better than to ask anymore questions. It was clear that Bette wanted to keep her guard up. A few more moments passed before either woman spoke again.
“I learned last weekend that Jodi lacks the genetic code for maintaining a monogamous, committed relationship.” Bette took one hand off the wheel to brush back a stray curl from her cheek. She smiled when her revelation was again met with uncomfortable silence. “I know, poetic justice, right?” The brunette forced another chuckle, expressing her own ideas about what Tina must think.
“I didn’t say that.” Tina said quietly, shaking her head before looking at Bette again.
“You didn’t have to, Tina.”
“Bette,” Tina sucked in a breath, as the words to “Breathe In” revealed a woman helplessly in love. “Don’t presume to know what I’m thinking based on my silence or what you might perceive as hesitation on my part.”
Exhaling hard, Bette gripped the steering wheel tighter, struggling not to argue with Tina’s position, even though in her heart she believed that the blonde was of the opinion that she was somehow unworthy of a happy and healthy relationship.

Sad but Tina made her bed so unless Bette is willing to kick Jodi to the curb, Tina must lie in it. Tina is a coward. Life is too short not to tell the important people in your life that you love them. Epilogue??
That hurt me as well as Tina and Bette. All Tina has to do is tell Bette she still loves her and wants her back, and that she made a huge mistake and told a lie, she is not in love with Henry and does not want him any longer. They have missed so many opportunities to talk with each other and admit their love for each other. Please say you will give us an epilogue to this story. Thanks for posting.
Yes please give me a happy Tibette sequel.Great story thank you.
I definitely hope you’ll be posting again sometime… sometime *soon*. ;) thanks, mell!
