“I realized again that you’re all I want and everything I need.” The blonde paused to gasp in torment, “I was scared to talk earlier because you might tell me it’s really over. That it was a mistake.”
Tina had to pause. There was no holding back now. She may at one time held all the cards, allowing her to partially divulge, deny and withhold but now felt only complete transparency was the solution.
She was scared and would admit why.
Tina would risk everything.
The blonde whispered, “That I won’t ever have another chance to show you how much I want you. How much I need you. How much I hope for nothing more than to take care of you and … and claim you as mine.”
The brunette thought she was ready to talk earlier. But if Tina had said this to her, Bette acknowledged it would have both astonished and stunned her to silence. Just as it did now although the benefit of not being seen offered some semblance of cover to how the impassioned words affected her.
“Tina…?”
There was only stillness at the other end.
Again she tried cautiously, “T?”
Her voice was small, “I just need a minute please.”
“It’s okay honey,” she intentionally responded with an endearment that was meant to soothe. In truth Bette too needed some time to collect her thoughts. To absorb the unexpected depth of declaration.
After a few minutes, she heard Tina put the phone down to use a tissue. During this reprieve she contemplated the elements of their present and personal circumstances. Didn’t they deserve amnesty after the trials of their recent past? Instead her head was in turmoil. Her chest tightened and heart soared then plummeted only to do so again as she heard Tina’s words.
“Bette?”
“I’m here T.”
“I know I probably shouldn’t say this but I have to,” she warned. “Tell me if I’ve said enough…” the blonde gave Bette a moment to suspend tonight’s disclosure but a quiet acceptance conveyed permission.
“I’m so in love with you.” The potency behind the softly uttered admission was undeniable.
“T…” the brunette started to respond but faltered.
“Please Bette let me…let me say this…I love the way you’re so strong and yet vulnerable to the ones closest to you. The way you adore Angie unreservedly. The way you fight for what you believe even if it takes so much of you. The way you enjoy art and the beauty that feeds it. How you want the best for our friends and support them even if you may not agree with how and why. The way you’ve grown in your relationship with Kit. The way you loved Melvin. How you value your work, aspire and trust your identity. The way others look at you in admiration and respect.”

Magnificent!!! I was leaning forward toward my computer, trying to get closer because I swear I could hear Tina’s voice coming through my computers speaker. Wow…wonderfully written, thank you!
Arrrrrhhhhh… Please post soon. This is so good.
What is 2 of 2? Is this the end of Convenient Distractions? We need to hear Bette’s answer. I don’t care if it’s titled The Unconvenient Truth (for Jodi I hope). I just need one more chapter, pretty please…
2 of 2! I think not. At least 2/3, but preferably 2/20 ..please!
No such thing as too late if Bette truly loves her. Just a pity Tina took so long to realise what she’d sacrificed. You’re on a roll, don’t stop now :-)
DON’T. YOU. DARE! Where’s #3? LOL – simply wonderful writing. My heart hurst for Tina… and I’m not a big fan of hers. That says something about your writing. PPS! (with #3).
* hurts *
Awesome chapter. You conveyed Tina’s raw emotions in a amazing way, please continue your writings and if possible Bette’s answer or reactions.
Excelent way to look into Tina’s troubled soul. Maybe fanfiction can at some point help in excorcising the worst fear -the one Holloman carried through the show: being left for a man.
I sure hope that it is “NOT” too late. I for one can’t wait to see how Bette resolves her feelings for Tina.
wow, tina is really brave to open up like that when there’s a chance that it’s too late…of course, love like bette and tina’s is rare and tina’s not late because jodi is also a convenient distraction for bette…beautiful randoms :)
Please continue.
Wonderful simply wonderful. Excellent writing. Thank you.
Socal is right, it does hurt. I’ve been waiting for someone to write something like this. And yes, we do need at least one more chapter of this particular one. Thanks for posting.
Wow on the story!! Wowser on the cliffie!!! :)
Hey, lwordid. Yeah, it’s true, you’ve posted more positive scenes than painful ones. But the few painful ones really, really hurt…because they were truly well-written, well thought out and heartfelt. Please don’t take this as a criticism. Your unique voice shines through in all these random scenes. And I’m glad you almost always end the positive ones with a sliver of hope, like in this one. I hope you’ll post Bette’s answer to Tina’s question and what compelled her to grab Tina and kiss her at She Bar. But if you choose to keep this open ended, I have an idea how Bette responded. Thank you for all these well-crafted random TiBette moments, lwordid. Thank you for not making Tina a totally unlikable and unforgivable person. That makes this Tina fan quite happy. =) Please keep on writing and sharing, lwordid. Cheers! =)
