“Don’t call me that. Just .. leave .. please. I want to be alone”
Brenda tried to reason with the blonde who made it clear with her gaze that she would not budge before pursing her lips in annoyance. She had harbored a crush on Tina for years, lusted for her longer than she ever had for another but some things just weren’t worth the trouble. As must as she wanted the blonde, Brenda found herself above drama and anyone entangled in it.
She tossed a few bills on the counter to pay for her drinks, “Call me when you’re in a better mood”
Tina rolled her eyes and let out a deep audible sigh as Brenda stormed out of the bar, finding herself unaffected with her exit and instead mourning over Bette’s.
Of all the scenarios Tina had pictured in her mind, none of them predicted Tina’s last words to Bette to be what they were. She hadn’t expected the brunette to say what she did either.
It was obvious that Bette still harbored resentment for Tina not that the blonde could blame her. It simply meant that a reconciliation of any type was clearly out of the question. As far-fetched as it sounded, Tina had always held onto some hope that one day she would see Bette and be given the chance to explain things.
She had never expected for things to go back to the way they were but had wished that at least she would be given the opportunity to mend some of what was broken. Bette deserved as much, she deserved the truth as to why Tina had turned down her proposal all those years ago.
Tina breathed deeply at the memory of that fateful night, the pang in her chest feeling all too familiar to the pain she felt when she rejected the love of her life. It was a decision that Tina hadn’t wanted to do, one that she had tried to convince herself over and over was for the best. It had broken her heart to do it then and had the same effect to remember it now.
It had been seven years since that day and Tina wondered if another seven would go by before they laid eyes on each other once more, Bette’s dinner proposition suddenly seeming like an impossibility.
It’s for the best. The blonde found herself repeating those same dreaded words in her mind. Sometimes digging up the past did more harm than good.
A rustle of newspaper snapped Tina out of her reverie, filling her with the energy she needed to rid her mind of the brunette she had hoped to one day get over.
She smiled at Al who had finished the last of his beer and gestured to the bottle with a tilt of her chin, “Can I get you another, Al?”

Yeah, new chapter!
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!
Thanks for the post, enjoyed it, more please!

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 :)
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 !!
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 :)
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 !
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
