The feelings deepened when she saw all the attention Bette was getting from all the women and especially from Susan. Then to top it off she’d learned that half the women in West Hollywood knew that Bette was adopting a baby before she did. She’d copped an attitude and she’d treated Bette so badly when all Bette wanted was to talk and spend time with her.
Tina knew from therapy that these types of interactions especially when they were repetitive could leave the other person feeling emotionally drained. She knew that the unexpected and unprovoked outbursts of anger that she’d exhibited this evening was disproportionate to the situation. She had to figure out why she reacted the way she did and what triggered her behavior.
Bette had asked her “what do you want from me?” She didn’t know the answer and it wasn’t likely that she would figure it out tonight. What she did know was that Valerie was right. There were some things in her life that were within her control to change. It was high time for her to take a good long look. She had to decide what she wanted and she had to set her priorities in order.
***
Tina got out of the tub dried off and put on a robe. She cleaned the bathroom before going into the kitchen to make a cup of tea. The water had come to a boil when she heard Valerie come through the door.
“Hey Tina. I didn’t expect you to be up. Is everything OK?”
“Yeah I’m fine. I just finished my bath and felt like a cup of tea. Would you like one?”
“No thanks.”
“How was your date? You and Leigh seemed to really hit it off.”
“Yeah it was good. I really like her.”
“She seems really nice. I’m glad that you’ve met someone.”
“Thanks. So how was your evening with Bette?”
“It got worse before it got better.”
“What happened?”
“I don’t know why I was being such a bitch tonight Val. Bette jokingly said something about taking some of those women up on their offers and I just lashed out at her. I felt like she didn’t see me as anything more than one of her groupies, like I had to take a number to get on her dance card.”

Glad Valerie called Tina out on things….Tina is stubborn but she is slowly figuring out what she wants but she can’t expect Bette to wait around while she gets her shit together ..But she’s trying to make time for Bette and her friends now and she still needs to kick Eric to the curb as she continues to make excuses for him and why she is with him…
I agree Tina needs to sort out her life…..does she want Eric or Bette?
Hey BAT, so enjoying your story. I love the way you’ve developed your characters. Tina has an edge to her that is rough and insecure and shows off a tendency to be aggressive and unsure of herself. A new tilt in a story about her and Bette is someone we’d all love to have in our corner as a friend, lover or partner. She kind, generous, brilliant, so gorgeous and SO patient with Tina.
Now Tina is finally waking up to parts of her self that really aren’t too pretty. I wouldn’t care to know her in this story with the personality that she has. I loved that Valerie called her on her shit, as someone had to. This ‘open relationship’ stuff really isn’t what its all about as she uses it to hide behind.
She must have been really hurt in some past relationship as she doesn’t seem to trust allowing others in too deep. Well, as they say, all good things must pass and if she isn’t careful, Bette will be gone sooner than she thinks and her chance at a relationship of amazing quality will be blowing in the wind!
Excellent piece of writing my friend! Thank you!
IMO, this was one of the top chapters in this story. Tina is kind of floating around , not anchored to anyone. Tina has to decide if she wants a committed relationship and with whom. If she wants a “just friends w/benefits” type of life so be it but when she is older she will regret losing “the one that got away”. She is very insecure when it comes to her “relationship” w/Eric. It is a soulless relationship only sexual. She may care for him b/c he is relatively nice to her but Bette is all good things plus she is exciting. She would lavish all kinds of attention upon Tina or any partner. It’s just her nature.
I appreciate the frequent and longer postings.
Val summed the whole truth in this conversation with Tina.
Now she has to take a foot in the ass of Erik.
Great chapter.
10 stars.!
Nice Chapter I enjoyed it. You have given Bette such a lovely character here which makes you just want to go and be part of her life. Glad Val has knocked some sense into Tina and I hope she will now kick Eric into touch asap!
