Only Ever You – Chapter 5
“Which is why he said what he said” Tina sighed upon seeing Bette’s expression. In some part of her heart, Tina had known that Bette wouldn’t have hesitated to put her first had the brunette known what was going on. It was part of what made the last seven years so hard, spending so many days and nights wishing she could lean on Bette for love and support only to face the fact that the brunette wasn’t around because of Tina’s actions. “I disagreed with him at first of course but the more he spoke .. the more I began to see his point. You were .. are destined for greatness. You’ve become such an incredible, successful woman. That would have never happened if you’d stayed behind in this stuffy town”
“And what about you?!” Bette shot up to stand in her frustration, causing Tina to jump back in surprise. “Didn’t you think that you deserved more? Didn’t you think that you were destined for things better than bartending at The Planet?!”
Tina ignored the stabbing offense she felt at Bette’s words knowing that the brunette hadn’t meant them as such but she couldn’t help the tears that welled in her eyes or the way her lip trembled in emotional anger.
She ran a frustrated hand through her hair, “Of course I did! My dreams were as big as yours, you know that but I had to put it all on hold and I didn’t want to make you do the same. Not for something that was happening to my family”
Bette covered her mouth with her hand as she chuckled in disbelief, “I can’t believe this .. you really never understood. I would have gladly done anything to be with you, to help you because you were my family”
Tina looked at the brunette wide-eyed, tears blurring her hazel orbs. “Bette-”
“No!” The brunette burst out and took a step closer to the blonde as she placed a hand on her chest, pain lacing her tone. “You took a choice from me, Tina. An important choice. You kept me in the dark and didn’t even let me decide .. I spent so much time being angry with you because I thought you left me for no reason. You broke my heart, Tina”
Bette’s broken tone caused Tina to swallow the lump that formed in her throat, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Hi Liah,
I just wanted to congratulation you and your brother and sister in law for having a boy. / nephew. Very kind and sweet to give them a gender reveal party!
I will take pleasure and hope that you and other authors keep Tibette alive.
I was so sad and disappointed after seeing the promo. But wow JB is still a beautiful and sexy Bette Porter ????
Will comment tomorrow after i read the update!
Thank you, thank you ???? We are all very excited to welcome the new baby. I already have a niece so a nephew will definitely be a nice touch. Another kid for auntie Liah to spoil ????
I have to agree about the promo. As sad as I was, I couldn’t take my eyes off the beautiful and sexy Bette Porter ????
Hi! Thank you for the new update!
Yeah, like others i’m very angry, sad and dissapointed about this promo and this new “show”. And francly maybe even still in shock after watching it. So i’ll try to comment this chapter later, when i might be able to move on from this shock state.
Hi LxD:
Well, after all the commotion that we had today, about a promotional video that may or may not be significant, I prefer to talk about this wonderful chapter; very beautiful.
I like very much that Bette finally found out the hidden life of Tina during the past years.
I’m happy that now Tina realizes that she is not alone and the Bette still loves her very much.
I hope that this Bette in your story will be strong enough to break with Emma and make her life with Tina.
I really would like that Tina’s mother gets well, but after suffering that much I don’t know if the lady would survive more, but I would really like that Tina could make her way to college and finish whatever she wants to be.
I don’t like Melvin, Bette should have the chance to make her own decisions years ago.
Very nice story, thank you again and please post soon.
P
I am glad I discovered this story. It is intriguing and leaves many questions unanswered. I hope Tina remembers not to blame Bette because Tina and no one else has told Bette what happened in the last 7 years.
Oh my god, i am feeling so happy and ready to burst out in tears from joy.
I saw you uses a few familiar lines in the conversation between them.
Ok Bette, go to NY and break it off with Emma and return that fine ass of yours back to Tina. Emma will be devastated but she will be lying if she didn’t saw this coming.
Looking forward to see the next chapter!
Thank you so much for the update. I am not sure about the promo. Trailers are often teasers..playing mind games with us. So I will wait until December’s opening…and hope that what the storyline brings. Until then I will continue to await more stories about our Tibette!
After watching the new l word trailer I was so angry, sad, and disappointed. Reading this chapter made me feel a bit better.
Authors like you who still give us great Tibette stories will be much more appreciated! Thank you for continuing to give us de oportuniti to enjoy the magic of Tibette. I hope you keep doing it with this and then with other stories. You are a great writer and you are giving us something that the creators of TLW have no intention to do. It´s hurts. I don’t want to watch a series with Bette and her new lovers. I prefer to continue reading wonderful stories like yours. Please, don´t stop! THANK YOU !!!!
Ditto!
I am beyond flattered, thank you ???? Inspiration never misses with these two, I have plenty of stories lined up. Tibette forever ❤️
Woow, I’m so happy to know that! BiG THANK YOU!!!!!!
No Tina in new TLW seriously sucks….it actually bothered me more than I thought it would.
This chapter rocked! Thank you. Let’s not forget Tibette.
So, thank you again for how you write Tibette’s stories and congratulation with the nephew!
I think break up with Emma won’t be easy for Bette, but she knew she has to do it.
Waiting for the next!
Dear author,
Above all, all my most sincere congratulations for your nephew – and your niece to ! Your joy and pride are so obvious, I was almost able to see your smile through my screen and that’s beautiful :-)
This new story of yours truly touched a very special part of my own history, a pretty painful one but nevertheless so precious in my heart and still essential in my life, so I have to thank you a lot for that bittersweet but powerful emotion…
And, as an incurable Tibette lover, this fifth chapter (… well, yes, it’s n°5 ! *wink*) brought such a much needed comfort and the way you added a subbtle embellishment to this famous Bette’s confession about Jodie to this one about Emma pleased me a lot.
You depicted this chapter with a full of nuances brushstroke – something our dear and oh so sexy gallery owner would have appreciate ;-)
My natural empathy makes me truly feel for Emma but, alas for her, those wonderful two will always be meant for each other, that’s just fate – and there will never be any new tv show that will ever change that for me !
Oh, I’m so deeply grateful to generous writers like you for sharing their talent with us, for I’m more than ever need a lot of B&T beautiful stories…
And when they achieved to bring a lot of personal reflections, well, that’s an other gift for which I’m truly grateful.
I wish you all the very best and will wait the next chapter with almost as much haste than Tina will wait her beloved’ return ! ^_^
A.
I’m speechless .. thank you for this. Every here and there, I try to throw some reference in from the L word into some of my stories. I get excited whenever I read or watch something that features some type of Easter egg from something else that I enjoy, Its always a fun find. I’m glad you found some relation to this post as well however bittersweet. I’m glad my writing can affect people in such deep ways :)
Omg.. this chapter was so touching and emotional.. and so so well written.. thank you.. I love how Bette went after her giving Tina the confidence she needed to confess not one but everything.. im so glad Bette is a listener and her heart so big and full of love for Tina..its going to hurt to let go of someone who has become so close to her but its for the best and Emma may not see it at first but if she sees these two together just one time she would see what has been missing in her and Bette’s relationship. And would want Bette to be happy.
Thank you again
And you are going to be an Auntie.. congrats best of love for your brother.
Thank you, thank you :) Life and love can be hard but I’m confident it’ll all work out for each of these girls. They all deserve a bit of happiness I feel. Thank you, I’m excited for the new addition to our family. That baby smell is addicting :)
