One Day Soon (13)
When it ended, I used to pick up in the background of hushed voices and whispered conversations those platitudes people say that we would get back together because of the baby, that we’d work it out for her sake. If anything I think I’d say that couldn’t be further from the truth, we had to break up against all of our better judgement, against the string which pulled us both towards her, told us both that we couldn’t really bear to be without her before we came to a place where we could both be parents to her again. Good parents, there’s a strange sort of contentment in knowing that whatever happens now, Angie comes first.
My mind starts to wander as the little one plays; she’s so confident now, splashing around with her bright blue water wings on, no longer afraid to be off by herself. Every now and then she pauses to glance back at me, flashing me a toothy smile and momentarily my thoughts turn to Jodi and Henry, those ‘other’ people in her life and for a minute or two I wonder if he misses her.
It wasn’t so much him, more everything he stood for, that element of heterosexual normality so far removed from those of us who will never walk that line. For the person she became whilst living that life, for the lies she told to herself and me and for the wedge it drove between us. I told myself that I knew her and that the woman who I knew was being lost, buried beneath a blanket of self-deceiving lies. Which is why I blamed Henry, because he was an available front to take the fall for the person whom she became.
And yet beneath it all there was still a part of her I longed to reason with, to sit down and say it’s not what I’d come to expect from her. With Jodi, I finally understood what it meant to be with someone who is challenging, forthright and unpredictable. To live on the cusp of change, wondering why the person you are with can’t just plateau, why every day must bring something new. It wasn’t until then that I realised how difficult I must have been to take on, my life, my home, my world; everything I threw at her, Tina accepted and moulded into herself, and when I wanted to move forwards I did, expecting foolishly that she would always follow.

This is so GOOD!
Wow, all the emotions flowing out of both women. If they can get past the hurt, anger and lost feeling then there is a chance of making it work and this time doing it right.
Awesome. How can these two not be together. I just love what a great job your doing with they’re emotions. They know each other so well. This Bette, she has every intention of being all that Tina needs.
another fabulous post, Sofa. The girls seem to be finding their rhythm with each other again, no matter how tenuous. It parallels little Boo so nicely. Baby steps, but forward steps none the less. Thanks for these updates, can’t wait for more.
First???!!! Silent, Silent – Love your stories. Try to post more often
Wow, among other things it seems Bette’s learned to be a psychic empath, at least where Tina and Angelica are concerned. This bodes well.
More please!
