Tina walked up to Bette and put her arms around her.
“Oh Bette…we are a pair aren’t we?”
Bette let out a chuckle and commented.
“Well, the conversation is never boring, is it?”
“No, I can’t say that it is. C’mon, let’s eat.”
The ladies dug through Bette’s kitchen together and were able to piece together a meal of grilled cheese and tomato soup. They prepared the food together laughing and talking about nothing and everything. After they finished the meal Tina looked over at Bette.
“This was nice.”
“Yeah, yeah it was…it so good to spend time with you…I’ve…Um…” Bette cleared her throat and spoke. “Um, so what’s next for you Ms. Kinnard?”
Tina smiled at Bette’s stuttering.
“I have to see the eye specialist on Friday and on Monday I see the doctor about my leg. Hopefully I’ll be cleared to drive, so I guess I’ll have to think about a car, and I guess I should think about finding an apartment or something.”
“T, I would love to help. You know, drive you around to look at cars or apartments…or whatever.”
“Bette, that’s really sweet, but don’t you have to work?”
Bette smiled at Tina’s concern.
“Well no, not really. I’m working with a few clients right now, nothing too taxing or time consuming. I’m still pretty efficient so keeping the clients happy is fairly simple. Most of the time I work a few hours in the morning, and then I have a meeting or two a week.”
“Wow, that’s like, I don’t know…mind boggling. Bette Porter all relaxed about work, now that I could get used to, but to answer your question. I’d love the help. Thank you for offering.”
Bette beamed at Tina and took Tina’s hand.
“So Tina…what are your thoughts about us…um, maybe going on like a real date?”
Tina could feel her cheeks redden. She looked down at their hands and spoke quietly.
“I think…I think way too much about how nice that would be…and …it sort of scares me…I really should be focused on all the other things…you know…?”
“Yeah T, I know…but maybe we could use it as a goal or something…like maybe we could have a date after you do something you know will be difficult…or…”
Tina looked up at Bette and smiled.
“That’s pretty good. That way we won’t…you know, rush things too much…”
“Sounds good…what do you think your goal should be?”
“Well I have to keep a journal and really delve into the topic she gives me after each session. I’m putting it off, so keeping up with my journal should definitely be part of it and I have to find a place to live. So why don’t we make that the first goal? So let’s see… by next Friday if I’ve kept up with my journal and I’ve found a place to live then I can go on a date…How does that sound?”
Bette squeezed Tina’s hand and gave her a warm smile.
“Sounds perfect…but we’ll still spend time together, right?”
“Yeah, we’ll still spend time together…this feels too good… I so tired of not being happy…Life’s too short…ya know…?”
Bette laughed leaned and kissed Tina’s hand.
“I know T…I know.”

This story is such a breath of fresh air and I find myself hunting for an update. LOL I can’t wait for their first real date. PPS
D, you teased me. I thought for sure they were going to do the NASTY. LOL. But no, you pulled the reins in. I happy that they can talk, cry, and laugh together. The healing has begun. Great update.
:) This chapter made me happy. Heck, DnA, all of your chapters make me happy, even through the hard parts –like this one had, and even the ones that get me a bit teary. I’ll just say I’m happy when you post and leave it at that. Thanks for the chapter! :) (still happy!)
Terrific, a new post from DnA! I love them talking and getting things straightened out. I love Bette’s patience and the way she’s helping Tina really unselfishly.
The lines of communication have opened up. Now they can move forward and begin a new chapter in their lives.
Im really loving this story thank you so much for posting.
Update, please??
this was really nice, ya know? ;)
Awe that was so good, you leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling about how well they are doing. Wow Bette has given it a lot of thought and I like that she’s come up with answers. Nice writting and thanks for sharing with us
I really love this story. I’m glad they were able to have such a meaningful talk.
Hi D&A, Gal that was awesome. Your showed how good it is to real talk. There was such an air of love and emotional support through this chapter as Bette finally told Tina the complete truth about the events and feelings that lead up their break-up and the fallout.Tina need to hear this to understand their past and realize that they can have a future together.This was a cathartic discussion.I am so happy that they aren’t rushing anything as this is so precious to them that they need the time and space to come together completely.Now I can’t wait to find out more from Tina’s journal as her visible and emotional wounds heal.There will be scars but with the love and encouragement.Then the date…Oh I am so excited at the prospect.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
I love all this talking that Bette and Tina are doing….it always felt like there was so much betweeen them and no words to express it….and you are giving it all words very nice
I love the discussions you are letting B & T have. So much love and support shown in this conversation. Thanks for the great update! PPS
