“What do mean?”
“What I mean is that you don’t have any claim on her Tina. You are the free spirited woman who believes in open relationships and doing what feels good but you seem to have a double standard when it comes to Bette Porter. It’s like you expect her to save herself for you while you’re sleeping with Eric and casually dating other women. She’s a beautiful desirable woman. She attracts attention but she knows what she wants and she’s not willing to compromise on her values or her convictions. Being with you right now would be a compromise for her. She has feelings for you but she’s having conflicting emotions about what to do about them. The fact that you are giving her mixed signals is not helping the situation.”
“I’ve been honest with her Valerie. She’s known about Eric from the start. We’ve talked about the fact that we aren’t in an exclusive relationship.”
“I don’t think you’re being honest with yourself Tina. What you have with Eric can’t even be called a relationship. He’s a friend with benefits and from where I stand he’s the one getting all the benefits. He’s got a beautiful woman at his beck and call that is willing to have sex with no strings attached. You’re hiding behind him to keep a safe distance from something that could be very meaningful. You say you are not monogamous yet you claim you can be, given the right circumstances and with the right partner. You’re giving her false hope when you give off signals that maybe you want more than friendship with her. Bette is not the type of person that you string along Tina. She’s not going to wait in the periphery until you decide to give her the time of day. She’s moving on. She’s starting her family and eventually she’s going to meet someone that is deserving of her love.”
“You don’t think I’m deserving of her love?”
“Even as a friend I think she deserves more than what you’re capable of giving right now.”
“What more can I give to this friendship Valerie? I know I’ve been self-absorbed. I haven’t spent a lot of time with you guys. I’m going to do something about that. I’m going to make more time for everyone including you and Bette.”

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!
