While Tina went to do some food shopping Bette made an excuse about needing to go to the bathroom. When they met up again Bette was carrying a bag from the gift shop
“What’s in there ?”
“Sun lotion – I didn’t put any one when I went out and I think my shoulders are burnt”
“Can I rub it into your shoulders ?”
“I was hoping so “
“This day is starting to look up “
They found a spot to themselves and flopped onto the sand. Tina lay on her back and sighed
“This is nice “
“It is – its great to be here without any parents”
“You can say that again”
“So what did she threaten you with ?”
“She said I was being immature and if I didn’t grow up she would have to seriously think about not letting us sleep together when term started “
“Oh fuck – that’s not fair “
“I went through all of that. But I have let her down and “ Tina sighed “ I think what she really flipped about was what I said about not feeling good enough “
Bette looked at her “Good enough for me ?”
“Yes “
Bette picked a bottle of juice from the brown paper sack and opened it
“Well she has a point – it’s a crazy thing to say. You were the one who was self confident when we met. I used to look at you and be so in love with you and I used to think – god I wish I was as self confident as Tina. So what happened babe ?”
Tina took a bottle of juice for herself and a bag of candy
“I curse Emma you know but what I do forget is that her whole career is not just based on the law but on her knowledge of people. She has to not only be able to read the interns she takes on but all the staff as well as her clients and the jury and the judge. She has to know people – and she knows me. I always claim that she doesn’t understand me – not like Kate does. But the truth is that Emma knows me – she knows me better than I want her to know me at times and even though what she said to me was hard. I hated her for saying it but I have been thinking about it ever since and you know what is the worst thing?”
“The old bag has nailed it ?” Bette suggested
Tina laughed ironically “Yes “
“You want to explain to me ?”
“I was bemoaning that you were so much better than me at everything “
“Well I would debate whether that was true or not “
“And one of the things I said was that you are a better runner than me “
Bette looked at Tina – better runner ? She was getting hung up over running now ?
“Right “ Bette said neutrally
“And my mother stood up and said to me – when did you last go for a run ? She said that the reason you are such a good runner is that run – you run almost every day. And I know that it’s a way of fighting your demons but I never come out with you “
“Why not ?”
Tina opened the pack of candy and ate a few “Its ironic that I used to love running with you even though you were a better runner. That didn’t freak me – now it does. And so I don’t run with you. So you run on your own and get better and stronger and you get more stamina and you run further than me. And I am left behind because I stopped running with you”
“You thought you couldn’t keep up with me and now you can’t because you don’t run ?”
Bette suggested
Tina nodded “Its no excuse and I don’t need any violins and bleeding hearts but its not easy when all four of my parents are all so successful – there is nothing they cannot do – nothing that they suck at – nothing that I can say they cannot do. And they have got where they are by damn hard work and they don’t see that I am not sure what I want to do with myself. I don’t want to be a lawyer – God can you imagine being a lawyer with the parents I have ? Every case would be something they would pick over “
“Have you ever wanted to be a lawyer ?” Bette asked
Tina shrugged “Its interesting but its always been something I didn’t want to consider because of them. And lets face it -I LOOK too much like my mothers daughter “
Bette smiled “You have to find something that interests you – and that goes for hobbies as well as everything else. I always thought you were not that interested in running”
“I like running and I used to love running through Central Park with you but you have come on so much in the last few months. Your times are scary “
“You don’t have to run to beat personal scores”
“You do “ Tina replied

Sorry to see you retiring from the site but as I have told you many times, I want to see your name on a book cover and now that will be happening. Congratulations that you have made that decision. As others have stated I am counting on relapses. And I will ask as well for more on the LWing, we have missed it. Whatever you write, you know I will read. You will be missed and again congratulations.

I have enjoyed reading your stories over the years and will be sad to not see anymore of your tibette stories. Personally I feel that you can write about them and hold true to being a “real writer”. I hope you come back to us and grace us with more stories. Thanks for the memories.

Wonderful story. Thanks so much for all your stories. They have been amazing. You write it, I will read it.
azmama says
I have loved all your stories. I have appreciated your dedication to this site and the entertainment you have provided for many years. While other writers have faded away due to thing or another, you’ve were a wonderful constant. Your stories were varied, interesting, dramatic and well thought out. Your leaving will definitely leave a large void on this site. Your are if not almost the last of the “big time” authors on this site. Please let us know when you’ve been published. Much success and happiness in the future. Glad to see you have the courage to follow your dream. :-)
elhil14n says
I was a silent reader for years and I have read all your stories. Thanks a lot. It was a beautiful journey with our couple Bette & Tina.I will support you in the future… and buy your future production.I’m looking forwards to the end of “New York Minute”.It would be great if you could put an end at “The L Wing” saga…Sorry for my bad english.
ut says
That was awesome and hope they will be ok
