Tina huffed, irritated. “I mean it, Bette. I needed to be on my A game tonight and instead I am a whirl of distraction and… and… longing. I can’t think, my body is on fire and I would rather be anywhere but here…and I am mad at… well, at you.” God, I sound like I am five years old, Tina thought. Selfish. Self-centered. Ridiculous. She couldn’t help herself. She tried to clear her mind, the wine fogging her thoughts, the angry words releasing the pressure she felt in her chest.
It felt good to unleash it at something… someone, even if that someone was the wrong target.
“You’re mad at me because you want me?” Bette asked innocently, a smile tugging at her lips. She looked her wife in the eyes.
“No! I am mad at you because you are the reason I can’t think straight… I…”
“Baby, the last thing I need for you to be doing is thinking ‘straight’…” Bette replied, kissing Tina’s forehead again as they swirled around the floor.
She could smell the wine, feel Tina’s stress, she was wound up tighter than a spring. Coiled, ready to go. Tina’s anger rose to the surface… bubbling over as she lashed out at the one person that did not deserve her ire.
“Bette! That is uncalled for. This is serious! I’m being manhandled all night and you’re off galivanting with our friends! You got me in this heightened state and I am so anxious I am fumbling over my words, and making an ass of myself in every conversation. This night was supposed to be about me, about the movie and instead… it’s like it’s your own personal appreciation show. The Bette Porter Highlight Hour.”
Tina caught the flash of hurt, the surprise that flew across Bette’s face and knew she was acting like a child but couldn’t stop. “You were supposed to stay with me, tonight. You promised me. But you left me, just like you always do when I need you the most…”
And there it was.
And as soon as she said it, she wanted to disappear.

Someone needs to lay Eric and his petty ego out on the floor. He is harassing Tina and making her job miserable. He needs blanket a party and Jodie is next. Tina is so passive aggressive to blame Bette. I m glad that Bette called her on it.. What a horrific work environment. PPS
Hi BK,
I am happy you didn’t go Black Friday shopping but instead wrote this chapter.
For one second i was afraid Tina was about to give in to Eric! It wasn’t a good move of her to drink so much wine and at the end to lash out on Bette. She said some very hurtfull words and yes whined as a small child.
Tina is a grown up woman and falls fast back on old behaviour when she is insecure. She can learn from Bette, she has matured so much and was right to tell off Tina. Maybe some therapy would be good for her.
But i loved how gentle and stern Bette spoke to Tina while dancing and making Tina feel protected at the same time.
Thank you for a wonderful chapter!
Oh and please kick Eric back in the dark hole he crawled out of! Tina should report Eric for harassing Tina! Same for Jodie.
Tina..Tina…Tina. Why on earth would you blame Bette for your bad situation with Eric. Tina has been a strong and courageous woman. Its time to take responsibility and not allow Eric to get away with his behavior. After the 2nd glass of wine, you should have left the table. As soon as Eric put his arm around Tina, she should have objected with something like “Eric, I am not your girlfriend and I am not your date to this event. And therefore I would appreciate it if you would not act as if I were and keep your hands off of me.” He is going to keep pushing until Tina does something. Call him out on his bad behavior. And do it publicly. I recommend a swift knee to the groin! Remember, Tina is planning on creating her own studio and leaving Aaron and Eric to their own devices.
As to Jody? Well, let’s see what happens to her. Surely she will get her just rewards sooner or later. You cannot keep getting over on people forever. Sooner or later that which she sewed will grow into her reward. She will need something from Bette and Tina someday and they will not hesitate to say sorry, no can do!
I love the way Bette handled this. She latched on and would not let Tina run. That was what was about to happen. Tina is now having to figure out how to resolve her problems in a more mature way. She still has to tell Bette the entire story about Eric. Brilliant move on Bette’s part. I’m sure Bette was not sure that she would get the desired results, But Bette’s new method of confronting the problem head on and not allowing Tina to run will give more success to their relationship than failures. This is another episode which will make their relationship stronger and more lasting. Beautifully written.
Love this story bunches. Cannot wait for the next chapters….
Thanks for posting! Reading your latest chapter made this cold, wet and dark winterly weekend much more bearable :-)
Great interaction between T + B. Not all love, peace and harmony but a few bumps on the way which Bette handled very well. Tina saw where she has to work on herself for the sake of their marriage.
I’m with Martha: please let Tina find some more self-confidence and tell Eric the caveman to show some professional behaviour. I hope she finds this strenght before the trip to Chicago. And after putting him in his place, she should concentrate on starting her own business.
Looking forward to the next part.
I really love this, so glad you did not go shopping!
Looking forward to your next post!
