Only Ever You – Chapter 2
Bette pulled up to the new and improved Planet Bar and Grill, setting the car in park before leaning back in her seat to look at her uncomfortable best friend.
“You’re unusually quiet” She observed with a raised eyebrow.
Alice’s voice squeaked, “Me? I’m not quiet. I’m just my normal not-quiet self. Just happy to be back home with my best friends. You’re the quiet one”
Bette stared dumbfounded for a moment before letting out a breath of laughter, “Okay, now I know something’s up. You’ve been acting weirder than usual. Did something happen with Dana?”
Alice so badly wanted to use Dana as an excuse, knowing that in the short trip to Kit’s bar she hadn’t come up with a way to tell Bette about Tina. The more she thought about it however, the more Alice knew she couldn’t handle the consequences of another lie or half truth as she put it. She opted for the most reasonable thing: the truth. Ugh.
Alice licked her lips and turned her body to look at her expectant best friend, her heart thumping against her ribs. “Listen Bette, I-”
A knock on the passenger side window grabbed both women’s attention, causing Alice to jump and whip around to face the culprit.
“We’re gonna grab a table” Carmen gestured her head in the direction of the bar as Shane held the door open for her. “See you guys inside”
Bette waved her response and waited for Alice to return to their conversation but unfortunately the interruption had caused the blonde to rethink her confession. She lost her nerve, wanting nothing more than to exit the car and join her friends despite the consequences.
“Let’s catch up to them”
She was out of the car before Bette could protest, leaving the brunette to shrug her shoulders and follow suit.
The moment Alice entered the bar and grill, panic overwhelmed her and she spun around to face Bette.
“Actually Bette, there’s something I-”
“Nooo!” A booming voice from behind Alice caused her to jump and right then she knew it was officially too late to save herself. She moved to the side as an ecstatic Kit Porter made her way over, her hands over her mouth. “Tell me my eyes are playing tricks on me. Someone tell me that I don’t see my baby sis standing in front of me”

I was so happy to see an update to this story!!
Oh no, poor girls. I think we’ve all been in a scenario similar to this one where you imagine reconnecting with someone only to have things turn out in the exact opposite way of what you intended! I hope Bette decides to stay in town longer but either way I know nature will run it’s course for these two, just have to watch it play out! :)

Hi! Thank you for the chapter!
I think maybe Bette needs sometimes think before she speaks, because i don’t understand how she can tell something like that if she wanted at least friendly relationship with Tina.
Brenda won this round, Bette’s brain lost.
Waiting for the next!

Hi LxD:
Thanks for this new chapter, the introduction, and the two first chapters are excellent.
I’ve been reading your other stories too, but this is the first time I have the opportunity to write a comment. I like this story very much, as the former readers commented this looks a bit like a ‘deja vu’, like a memory from our own lives. How many times full of hopes we find someone emotionally very important from our past and at the same time you realize that it is forbidden fruit.
Anyway, Bette is still a little hurt and perhaps she fell in Brenda’s trap speaking the wrong words in front of Tina. But I hope she will stay longer in town.
Another question is, why Tina didn’t do more of herself, I mean no disrespect for working as a bartender, which is a very respectable job (indeed something I like) but I thought she has other goals when she finished high school; was it because Bette left her? It was something related to her family? Anyway, I will really love to know more about Tina’s life since she ended high school.
Thank you very much for the chapter and pps.

First time commenters always hold a special place in my heart :) I like to think that everyone has that one person from their past that can just turn their entire world upside down. Probably my inner romantic’s wishful thinking lol So many questions, I love it ! I promise all will be revealed in time so stay tuned ! Thanks for commenting ❤️

So i think Tina decline Bette’s marriage proposal back after school prompt? Yeah, thats why Bette still hurt? But what about Tina, Bette don’t think that she hurting too when Bette left her without even explanation and went to the college?

Hi LxD,
So happy to see a new chapter!
Can i slap Brenda out of the Planet to a country very far away, she is so annoying and Bette had a point in what she said to her.
I can understand Tina’s pain, but did she think that Bette’s life stood still in those seven years?
It is oblivious they need to have a honest talk before they can move on, and Bette, Emma will never be the woman you will spend eternity with, how sad and angry she and Tina need to talk it out.
Melvin is and will be in my mind always a incredible cruel, heartless man, i am wondering if he has anything to with Tina’s refusal. But on the other hand it could be something else, maybe family, sickness?
How did Tina end up as a bartender, no disrespect, but there must be a reason very important that she works for Kit.
Oh, so many questions and little answers, please don’t let us hanging for long!!!

I promise not to ! The next chapter is well underway. I have a busy weekend coming up but I will try to post ASAP :)
Dainty says
Really like this story, just wonder what dirty lie Melvin told Tina as to Bette’s absence and leaving and not saying goodbye. Evil old bastard. Hopefully they will get together before Bette has to leave, Thanks for posting.

Excellent start !!
Silentreader says
So that what happened at the prom night. Tina refused Bette’s proposal. No wonder Bette felt heartbroken after that night.
Please don’t tell me that Tina and Brenda have already become a couple? (The news would break Bette’s heart all over again). But she was an ass when she told Brenda about her “success” in the big town with beautiful girlfriend in front of Tina. :( well if Bette could move on, why should Tina put her life on hold. :(
Can’t wait to read the update, please post soon Liah.
And, tks for the new chapter :)
izzie says
So glad to see an update !
I had the same questions as everyone else so I won’t ask but I noticed that “Al” (the one at the bar not Alice) was mentionned a couple of time, is it someone important in your story or a random guy ?
Please be kind by posting real quick !
Liah x Doll says
He’s just a random regular at the bar :) I’m sure I’ll use him again but not for anything more than comic relief
