Private Duty—Chapter 3

Tricia looked at Tina blankly for a moment
”What?” Tricia asked not sure she heard her sister correctly.
”I said I’m in love with Bette. I have been since we were kids” Tina answered honestly pulling her hands away from Tricia’s, getting up from the bed and walking to the window to look out of it She got a glimpse of Alana and Bette walking along a trail.
Tricia stood up and turned around to face Tina who was still looking out of the window.
”Tina?..Do you know what you are saying? You are saying that you are in love with a women you only knew for a short time when you were kids. You have never mentioned this to me at all. I think you are just feeling guilty about what you did and getting your feelings–” Tricia explained but was cutoff by Tina.
”Damn it Tricia! I know what I feel!. I’m in love with her and she is the reason I can’t give my heart to anyone else. She feels the same but she doesn’t want to be with me because I’m carrying around this guilt over what I did! She doesn’t want this thing to be there if we were to start a relationship! Now don’t patronize me on how I’m feeling!” Tina yelled as tears streamed down her face and she turned to look back out of the window.
Tricia walked closer to Tina putting her hand on her sisters shoulder.
”Tina? You know I love you right. And I’m not trying to patronize you. It’s just that you always tell me and talk to me about everything but you have never once mentioned you had feelings for Bette. I had no idea you were even interested in women”
Trying to get her tears under control Tina turned to face Tricia
”It has nothing to do with that. The fact is that I love her and I want to be with her but she doesn’t want to be with me while I work through all of this shit in my head. She wants to be friends first. And really I’m the cause for all of her pain and heartache. I’m just going to forget about this so I won’t be a burden or a problem for her. I will find someone else I guess. Matt wanted a second chance but I turned him down. Maybe I shouldn’t have”

No not Dan!!! Run Tina. Just kidding. Tricia is the voice of reason. She makes a lot of sense. Reconciling nine year old Tina with the present woman who has carried guilt for 20 years and loved ten year old Bette but never pursued a relationship with a woman does need some counseling to resolve. I will just settle for Matt? Really Tina? Bette on the other hand has had relationships. Failed relationships. Tina is stubborn and impulsive and Bette gets that already, Sounds like love to me. Love this Bette by the way. Give it time. Like this story.
Thank god for Trisha! She was able to get through Tina and let her see reason!
Time for Tina to grow up and deal with the guilt and my advice is to solve other character flaws too. Impulsive, selfish, stubborn and jump to conclusions is not endearing and Bette figured her out in less then 2 days.
Really, Dan!!!! Never liked him, maybe Tina should run or he can recomment another therapist.
Alana, what a cute girl!
Great story!
yeah, Dan took an unexpected leave of absence and Tina will go to a nice, calm and competent female therapist :)
I recall this story from a time ago. It is good to refresh and remember this tale. Thank you for bringing it back. this is another amazing gentle read that has an amazing journey to tell.
All will end well for these two destined souls. Thank you for taking the time to share. This story is a wondeful read.
Okay, give Dan a chance….. I always found Dan to be a rather neutral kind of guy. I neither liked nor disliked him, he was just there. Since he was not very important to the story…. I didn’t concern myself with him.
Well, Tina went to the right person for advice – Trisha. She at least listened and the light turned on. Alana is a lot like her mom…. give comfort and advice when its needed. She’s a smart four year old.
Let’s see how this talk goes in the guest house. Maybe Tricia made some impression, but old habits die hard. Tina best start thinking before she acts… This bit of drama was absolutely not called for. Bette certainly is a forgiving soul.. at least Tricia is in her corner. Hope Dan can do her some good….
Loving this story….. thanks for this chapter…. love to see more.
Not keen on Dan but we’ll see how his character developes in your hands!
Thanks for the post and for Tricia in there as the voice of reason.
Looking forward to the story continuing.
Good thing that Tricia was able to talk sense into Tina. Bette and Tina should try to get to know each other like they’d met just now. I’m curious to see whether Theresa will react to the T + B situation once she hears about it. She reacted after Bette’s identity was revealed so I hope for a reaction and some improvement on her condition.
Thanks for posting, I’m intrigued.
I really like this story. I’m so glad Tricia is sensible and not against what appears to be true love between Tina and Bette. We’ll see how Dan is in this story.
Great start to a very different perspective!
Tricia sounds like she’s going to be a great ally for them both?
Are there not any other therapists in LA? ……… can’t stand Dan Foxworthy!!
Can’t wait to read more !
Any chance of you finishing this story?
When are you posting more stuff?
Good story line! When can we expect more? Soon I hope!
