“It’s the while I was with you I have the problem with Bette. It’s the while I was with you that… fuck… wait,” Tina paused, rubbing her neck and collecting her thoughts.
“Let’s not do this. I don’t want to have this conversation Bette. I can’t.”
Shaking her head, Tina began pacing, putting some distance between her and the brunette watching her. She couldn’t stand to see the pain in Bette’s eyes.
“I’m sorry you’re unhappy Bette but it’s not my job to make you feel better about cheating on me and fucking up both our lives,” Tina defended herself, becoming more and more upset.
“You have no idea what it’s taken me just to hold it together and get through this so please don’t tell me how ‘easy’ it’s been for me.
Finally looking at her ex, she lowered her voice to almost a whisper.
“I thought I’d be six months pregnant with our son right now Bette… I can’t take care of you too. You should go.”
Bette caught the trace of Tina’s accent as she told her to leave. She knew there would be no point in arguing.

“Okay. You go first,” Bette laughed.
“Now how did I see that coming?” Tina smiled back at her. Shrugging, she tried to diminish the question,
“I work too many hours to have time for anything too committed. I date… I’m seeing a woman in New York right now, a DP working with Alpha. Director of photography,” Tina clarified.
“That must make it difficult,” Bette noted, not sounding particularly concerned with it being difficult.
“Her being with Alphaville, or living on the East Coast?” Tina questioned.
“Both?” Bette smiled hopefully.
Tina laughed.
“It’s not a big deal that she works with Alpha, it’s an incestuous business anyway. It does get difficult that we’re on different coasts,” Tina admitted.
“We’re not really involved to the point where I’d go for that weekend commuting thing- but we both go back and forth enough for work that it’s giving us a chance to see where it’s going.
I’m staying with her this trip,” Tina acknowledged giving Bette a sideways glance.
She noted the disappointment that flickered and then disappeared from Bette’s face.

let this be the longest flight ever so they can talk… :) PPS
this is getting more and more interesting.
hi zuzu. Thank you again for this story as other have commented your intutive writing of the nuanced character of t & b provide for a delectably rich read. Do post as soon as you can and to he** with Sam. If it’s not first, last and forever, it’s nothing ;)
Is it too soon to request that the plane be diverted for some mechanical reason; thus delaying their arrival in NYC? Bette needs to work fast. I’m looking forward to seeing that Porter charm come shining through. Zulu – as you can tell, I’m loving the story. Your dialogue between these two is spot on. Thanks for sharing this incredibly creative story with us.
Hopefully in the next five hours Bette and Tina will have reconnected is some fashion. There is something still there even after all those years.
ZuZu, I hope we get an update soon…I’m on the edge here waiting for these two to really talk. Damn why is there a Sam?????
Hey lady, nice to see another chappy from you (gotta remember not typo’s eh? LOL!!!) Thanks a bunch for posting. I’m getting some anxiety over this story,and it’s still early on!!! Thanks Zu. TTYL
Right on I like whr this story is going.
Hope they can talk and be civical to each other. Clear the air ,so they can at least be friends in the future. thanks
Wowsicles! Zulu gives us some more quick please! how many hours are left on the plane, and does Bette have it in her to win Tina back in five hours?
Let Tina and Bette process away it keeps the story real, I’m pretty sure that turbelence may come into it at some point. I love the past and present jumping, it gives the reader a window of what these two have been upto apart. A really enjoyable read. Thank you.
It’s 1 in the morning here and I’m reading your chapter, how dedicated am I? Do I get a pony? Now let me take a moment to be serious, it’s not just the plot that I enjoy so much, it’s your writing and your ability to capture the characters and situation perfectly. Bette’s disappointment at being treated as a guest was spot on, as was Tina’s attempt to reason and express herself with Bette.
Another captivating chapter… I’m always left wanting more. The weaving of past and present is just perfect!
ITA w/all that has been said. This story is so wonderful b/c of the details, the dialogue and the juxtaposition of the present day w/the flashbacks. I do look so forward to your posts. If you can, posting more often would be appreciated. PPS.
One of the many strengths of this highly addictive story is its realism, Zuzu’s Petals. B&T processing is no small part of that realism, so process away!
Tough Tina HUH? I like that she took care of her 1st. I’ve forgotten how long this plane ride is since they broke up. can u remind me in your next post plz. Tense but enjoyable. I wonder if u will bring them back 2gether or r they just gonna end up like ships in the night? that would be sad.
Bummer that Tina is dating, but at least it isn’t serious. I am so glad that they are trying to get to know one another. I think Tina may underestimate how badly Bette was broken by their split.
love this story!
