Bette’s brow furrowed. “T”
Tina smiled. “I’m kidding. I’m kidding. Why did I move home?” she supplied. “I remember the question.”
Bette looked visibly relieved.
Tina took a deep cleansing breath. “Bette, I love you.”
“I know,” Bette nodded. “I love you too.”
“But you hurt me more than anyone ever has or probably ever will,” Tina continued. She hadn’t wanted it to happen but her voice was already breaking with the emotion. “I trusted you so completely. I never thought” Tina stopped to reign herself in. “You know that I never thought you would cheat on me. But that wasn’t entirely your fault and you know that too. We took each other for granted. Me, so much that I went ahead and made this huge decision.” Tina gestured with her hands to indicate how big getting pregnant on her own was. She took a shaky breath as Bette sat still as a statue. “Anyway, one mistake, no matter how big on either of our parts, just isn’t enough to erase eight years of you and me. I tried. I was pissed enough to try, but I just couldn’t do it.”
“
“Was wonderful to me,” Tina answered and Bette frowned. “For the most part,” Tina qualified. “Her main and most glaring failing, even with the arrogance and the pushiness, was that she was not you. I fought that every day. I fought wanting you. And then I just couldn’t do it anymore. Before your father got sick I was already taking steps towards coming back to you.”
“We were going to date,” Bette smiled.
“That would have lasted less than a week,” Tina answered honestly. “I needed you. I just didn’t want to admit it. I was delaying the inevitable. When I left you over a year ago, I was always coming home. We both know that.”
“I beg to differ, Tina,” Bette answered.
“Ok, baby, well I knew I was coming home,” Tina stressd. “I guess I was doing a better job of convincing you otherwise than I thought.
“You were. When did you decide to give up the act?” Bette asked, unconsciousl tracing the finger where her wedding band used to be.
“It was when your father was dying that I realized that you need me too.”
“So much,” Bette confirmed. Her face was open and exposed.
“And I thought, you know, what the ***** are we doing to each other? The things we do to the people we love sometimes,” Tina shook her head. “Leaving you was no better than my family throwing me out.”
“Don’t say that.”
“It was,” Tina shrugged. “Tell me you didn’t need me more at that time, when you cheated on me. Tell me you didn’t need me more then than you ever have,” she demanded.
“That would be true if I didn’t need you more every single day,” Bette answered, smiling slightly.
Tina laughed. “Sweet talk,” she joked, apparently satisfied that the conversation was over for now. “Are you hungry?” Bette nodded. “I’ll make us lunch.” She stood and leaned over to kiss Bette gently. Bette brought her hand to the back of Tina’s neck, deepening the kiss. She pulled Tina back down to the couch, easing her down onto her back as she began to kiss her neck. “Oh, the other kind of hungry,” Tina chuckled, loving the feel of Bette as she stretched her body against Tina’s.
Tina gasped as Bette nibbled on her earlobe. “Tell me you’ll never leave me again,” Bette whispered.
Tina pushed Bette away to look into her eyes. “Baby, I never really left you the first time. I’ve always been right here.” Bette kissed her again.

Thank you! That was just perfect!
great chapter..give us more please
Great chapter, Iloved that they finally talked and I love the change in Tina’s mother. I see a visit from here mom further down the road. Now that they have talked about thier seperation, it will be much easier for Bette to face her family. Please post again soon.
Reading your story, I had the vision of you (and a few other authors on this site) in a select class of very bright, very precocious, advanced writers.
Your writing is so fresh, so witty, so clever. Ahhhhhhh…you are an definitely an overachiever, and here is your ‘A’! (air kisses on both cheeks – mm-wah mm-wah).
That Caroline Kennedy is a peach, isn’t she? She could be the most dysfunctional person in the world and be justified, but instead, she does good works, contributes to society, maintains the family name and carries on in the face of terrible tragedy. She is to be admired. You have good taste! Her namesake is a peach too – and so are you for coming back to this story!
*singing* So here we go now,
Holla if ya hear me though, come and feel me flow – I love that song. Thank you for putting a smile on my face today and taking me back – way back into time with that one!!
Beautiful what a lovely, love it. Now let see some loving of this 2. Post soon, thanks!
Another NC-17 in our future????
Hopefully a NC 17 chappy is coming hopefully.They needed to talk.Hopefully Bette and Tina will wear their rings again.
2 days, 21 chapters and my dog isn’t too happy with me I can tell you that! Let’s not start with the ppl in my life either, I think for the first time ever my voicemail is full!
I love this story. I love the words you use (cabal…metier…to name a couple, yeah I’m a cruciverbalist).
Carrie is adorable, wish I had a sister like that! But most of all I love this BnT. You’re the only writer, I’ve read, that is actually asking Tina why she came back home? I know if I were Bette I’d hate to think that my ex-wife only came back b/c she was sorry for me. So, I’m glad that you’re handling that.
As for Helena – she is the proverbial cross that we must all bear. I hope they figure out a way to crucify her…something tells me that Tina’s parents may play a bigger role in banishing that terror than we think.
Well, I do hope you post again soon and just know that I’ve added you to my fave authors listing.
sweet talks..i like i like. hehe~
