“Ok.”
“I love to hold you when you are upset… you know that, right?”
“Yes.”
“No reason to cry alone in the shower when you can have me next to you, right? Ok?
“Ok.”
“Promise me.”
“I do, I promise…” Tina laid her head back on Bette’s shoulder to watch her in the mirror. They looked at each for a long time, neither speaking. Bette gathered courage to ask the bigger question, the one that really mattered, the one that tugged at her heart the most…
“Is there a reason you can’t cry in front of me?” Bette asked shyly, fearful of the answer.
“No. No, sweet Bette, no. I was fine until I got in and the hot water just… I just… felt… so… lost.” She spoke quickly, the last word whispered, her eyes lowered again then lifted to meet Bette’s in the mirror. Seeking reassurance, encouragement.
Bette carefully placed Tina’s dress on the chair and, turning Tina, wrapped her arms around her wife, pulling her tight against her. She talked softly in Tina’s ear, “we made a promise to each other remember? I promise to tell you when I burn your spatula to a crisp and you promise to tell me when you feel like you’re vanishing. Right?”
“Right. Bette? I am… vanishing, I mean. I’m disappearing under scripts and artists and memories and sometimes I… I just, it’s been a lot, this past year… we need time to land… time to just…be…together. To have each other… time to talk…there have been so many changes…”. Tina’s voice cracked, she was hanging on by a thread.
“It has, baby, it has been a lot. You’re right Tee, thank you for telling me what you want. We do need time to land, to talk, we need a vacation my Love. Bikinis and breakfast in bed and you naked underneath me… I’m sorry you feel lost, but… you must know, I will always find you, ok? And tonight I will not leave your side. We can handle anything that comes our way, together. And then, then we will take a decadent vacation where we spend the week naked.”

So that POS Eric has overtly been hitting on Tina all this time knowing full-well that she is totally UNavaileable??!!! Jerk. doesn’ t sound like Tina has encouraged him in any way. Surprised that she hasn’t set up hidden camera in her office and gotten some jewlry with a body cam.
So Is that “work” trip to Chitown (Chicago y’all) that Eric was planning what has Tina so vulnerable and threatend??
Gosh being a female Exec in the movie industry must often be soooo demoralizing. Fighting off predators is such sh*”t!!!!
YES, The movie industry is well known for being filled with predators. I think I read an article where Laurel H said that she wanted the conversation about hiring women as actresses (when Jenny and her were arguing over who should play the lead in the movie) if they were “fuckable” because she heard that when she was auditioning. Did I make that up, anyone?
Tina does feel threatened. And she should….
Definitely remember Laurel talking about that scene! Thrilled that writers decided to keep that language in the script.. Just finished Ronan Farrow’s audiobook Catch & Kill where he talks about the cruelties of the rich&powerful in the movies and TV.
Makes me wonder how much of that shitJennifer & Laurel have endured…….
Thinkin’ some more about how it’s life or death in so many areas of society that women combine their power (financial, political, athletic, social, etc) to create safe areas where women can excel and change the world without the destruction oF predators whether they be rich and in positions or power or not.
So much of the world is F’d Up bc the influence and prominence of women is ignored and feared. Women bring empathy & compassion as their 1st option in solving problems and expressing options of well being for all. Much more of wiN-win as the goal end result
Laurel Holloman definitely said that. I believe that she was referring to sex appeal of actors and actresses on the screen to general audiences when choosing the right cast member for a role. I feel that is completely different from asking for sexual favors and demands and making sexual jokes and references in order to get a role or a script read or keep your job. One is making a decision for your product make up in order to make it more salable. The other is intimidation and assault and creating a bad work environment. All those selected for The L Word had (or have) tremendous sex appeal to the general audience and therefore be termed “fuckable”. But I would hope that in their day to day work environment, the directors and executives would not be pressing them with unwelcome sexual advances and innuendos. That would not be professional nor conducive to making a good series.
Hi BK,
Bette did a fantastic job to let Tina feel her love and showed her what a incredible woman she is.
But you have me a bit worried for the next chapter, that Tina unravels. Bette will be there to catch her.
And please please get rid of that annoying and asshole Eric, how did he get so rich by the way that he is now able to worm his ass into Tina’s workplace and therefore harrass her?
I ???? you will not let anything sad happen to Tina or our beloved couple.

Mention again/still that Tina would “unravel” for the upcoming chapter (10.2) kinda unnerved me too 😟😑
I’m chalking it off to a “typo” by this fab Author so that I can sleep soundly until her next post 🥴🤪
Totally agree with Bette’s approach to healing her wife that she knows is suffering. Wow! What is it like to have a partner with that much insite & compassion?!!!
Love this Tibette story!!!!!
To you, BK, U’re the Best 🥰😍
Nice interaction between Bette and Tina. Bette still does not know why Tina was crying – generally maybe the pressure going on at work, Eric’s presence and her lack of alone time with Bette. But we do not know what Eric has been up to for the past couple of weeks nor does Bette. The only hint is in the chapter description. I’m sure all will be disclosed in the next part of this chapter.
Actually, i was under the impression from the meeting of Eric and Tina that he did not know about Bette. Well, since Bette is escorting Tina to the party, I guess he will know now!. This is something Bette will need to know before she gets to the party. That is that Eric will be finding out that she and Bette are happily married and he stands no chance whatsoever. But it could pose an unexpected homophobic response. This would certainly to add drama to the situation whether he knows or not. Seeing these two together would certainly give the message that they are together and no one else stands a snowball’s chance in hell of breaking that up.
Look forward to the next part of chapter 10….thanks for submitting.
Thank you so much for sticking with this story Martha. I think there is an exchange at Tina’s office in an earlier chapter where she reminds him that she is happily married to Bette. I could be wrong, but you are right we will have to see how Eric responds to seeing them together. I say we because I really dont plan this story out, it just seems to write itself. Appreciate you commenting, see you next chapter…
Yes, I caught the exchange where Tina told Eric that she was married AND that she was happily married TO Bette. Seems like he had been following the gossip that Tina was married and was estranged from her wife, but didn’t know that they had reconciled.
None -the-less, he seems to have been motivated to “show” Tina how successful he had become especially to the point that he could weasel into the movie industry as a financier and ESPECIALLY into THE company that employed Tina!!
I don’t think for one minute that it’s an accident that he has hooked up that slime ball Aaron 😡😖🤬 who had been discounting Tina’s authority all along. He certainly didn’t give a flip that hiring Eric would be a threat to Tina in more ways than one!!!
Anyway, Eric’s response to the news of Tina being married didn’t diminish his thrill that Tina would have to work with him alone in Chicago. He planned to put the moves on her.
For sure wanting to put her in some sort of compromising situation that at the very least jeopardizes her job and reputation; and if marriage falls apart then he would “there” to sweep her up!
I’m hoping the mention that Tina is “unraveling” in the upcoming chapter 10.2 is just a “typo”!!!!
thank YOU!
Previous Chapter did have Tina telling Eric she was happily married to Bette.
I too hope that Tina unravelling will be in such a way that she takes Eric down as low as he really deserves.
Please post the next Chapter really quickly, please!
