“Loose ends? What have you done?”
“I hired a private investigator Tee. Among, other… endeavors. We don’t need to be in the same room to be managing this together. I will feel better knowing you are here safe… protected… resting and even gaining some weight…” she smiled softly, her eyes taking in Tina’s upper torso.
Tina shifted to lay back on her pillow, Bette moving closer, putting one arm over Tina to lean on. With the other hand, Bette lowered the sheet to run her fingers carefully over Tina’s stomach, watching them move on the paler skin.
“That feels nice Baby…”
“You’re too skinny Tee”
“I don’t think I can eat anything right now…”
Bette flattened her palm to rest it over Tina’s belly, spreading her fingers to cover as much skin as possible. “You will. When they get back Alice is planning a morning hangover cure that may involve some greasy food and hair of the dog….”
Tina made a face at that thought. They sat quietly together, Bette making small circles on Tina’s stomach. She lifted her eyes to meet Tina’s when Tina spoke softly.
“I’m worried about you Bette. I meant what I said yesterday, we haven’t really talked about everything you went through. You’ve been through a lot.”
“And we will. Just not this morning.”
“When?”
“I need to do this Tina. I can’t get it off my mind… I can’t think about anything else”
Bette moved her hand to lay it over Tina’s neck, tracing her jawline with her thumb. Tina considered her.
“You didn’t sleep well last night, did you? I’m sorry Honey, I know I was drunk when I came in…”
“You were incredibly sweet and unbelievably adorable.”
“Then why aren’t you sleeping?” Tina was not going to let Bette off the hook no matter how many times she evaded the question.
“You sure you really want to know?” Bette asked, pausing for Tina to nod…
”I can’t sleep because when I close my eyes… I see… when I close my eyes all I see is a hotel room full of blood. On the carpet, on the bed, on the nightstand… on you. On your legs, your thighs. And… I see bruises… a ripped dress. I see a camera flash …. and I feel the crippling panic from when I couldn’t find you that night. My chest gets tight, I can’t breathe when that happens, let alone sleep.” Her voice trembled at the end of the long speech… the words finally out.

I love you story. The way you pick up on the nuances of the the characters in the show and put them in a different situation.
Thanks SuperK! I am enjoying your story as well!
Leo Herrera??? Whoa!!!! How is he connected to this story? Did he participate in the Helena conspiracy against Bette? And was this because of Lucy’s aid and assistance? There are more twist and turns, dips and rises than a world class roller coaster. I love it.
Good to see Bette opening up to Tina. And its good to see Tina coming to grips with her part in what happened. The biggest obstacle as with all of life is that hindsight is always 20-20. The true resolution is to accept the fact that a error was made and to do all you can not to repeat it. You can never undo that which has been done. So accept responsibility, apologize for your error and work toward doing better. And never, never stop talking. This is the lesson that both Bette and Tina have learned and continue to be aware of as they reaffirm their commitment to each other. It is a remarkable journey for these two that you are writing here.
I love, love, love this story – And to quote Dana “Ditto., love love”. Now I am anxious to find out the whole story on Lucy and on Donna and on Eric. These are characters that are like the energizer bunny – just keep on giving intrigue and drama.
Thank you for this.
Love your Dana quote Martha3128! I love your insights, especially about hindsight being 20.20 and that accepting errors is all a part of the journey. Lets see where this story takes us!
Talk about adding some more suspense to the Eric/Lucy/Mama Kennard trio!!! I like that Bette had been doing some digging into Eric and now we’re gonna see what’s really been up!!
Anyway, Chapters 30&31 have been enlightening as far as Tibette working on their fears & truths. I’m with Martha3128.
Thanks so much BK for the refreshing cold drink of water which this story has brought. Make sure to take care of yourself and refresh your soul as well dear lady 🥰
Thank you DumplinT. Take care of you as well :))
Oh these cliffhangers!
Love the way you are developing this story, thank you so much for posting.
Please, please post again real soon
Stay safe

You got it SG!
BK, that was another amazing chapter. What a fantastic start to my day!
Finally Bette started to open up. No wonder those pictures and thoughts in her head keep her from sleeping. Good for Tina that she didn’t let up and prompted Bette to tell her at least some of the things that weigh heavily on her.
Great how you had Bette at the edge of losing her cool and let the frustration escalade into an argument. But once again she drew strenght from Tina’s words and her touch.
Just like Tina when she only needs Bette’s scent to feel calm and safe. I can so relate to that!
Again after nearly every chapter the wheels in my head starts turning. Thinking back to that evening in Chicago and Aaron’s heart attack. Were there investigations? Was it already ruled out that something might have triggered the heart attack? I think that Eric put something in Aaron’s champagne as well. That caused the heart attack and created enough distraction for Eric’s assault on Tina. He should be charged of attempted murder of Aaron on top of everything else.
It would be a smart move for Tina to get more legal enforcement in Chicago.
The Lucy story gets more complicated, right? Leo Herrera? Now what has he to do with all of it? Helping Eric?
Not so patienty waiting for more ;-)
Happy Easter, enjoy the time with your loved ones and stay safe.
cheers

Hey hey KP, Hope you are having a fantastic Easter. Did Eric also put something in Aaron’s drink and what could be the motive there – so many options. Trying to keep the story from becoming too complicated because I have a tendency to lose sight of some of the details…. but I do like a calmer Bette who is committed to talking and Tina is starting to take a lead in her own role in the relationship. Writing a grown up and more balanced couple has been fun for me. Thanks for your comments!
Wow, amazing chapter BK!
I really love this story! Your Tina and Bette are amazing and a joy to read about.
The others commented already what i thought or would say, i agree ???? with them.
Lucy, she is more involved then she told them, i am not sure if trust her. Leo Herrera, wow, she introduced him to Eric and he was a pain in the ass to Bette and involved with Helena who tried everything to destroy Bette.
Look forward to how Lucy explain this.
Keep save and healthy ????

You ever watch old I love Lucy shows where her husband (can’t remember his name) says something along the lines of “Luuucccy you got some ‘splaining to do” ?? Well that’s how I feel about Lucy in the next chapter. It is sink or swim time honestly… thanks for you comments, be well –
Lucy’s husband’s name was Ricky and your Lucy indeed has NOT come clean. I still dont trust her one bit. Still expecting Donna to come pounding on thei beach house any day now.
And where are those bloody lab results???? Has Bette asked Tasha to keep an eye pealed to make sure Eric hasn’t paid someone to “misplace” them??? I’m anxious
Ricky! yes! As soon as I read it, I was like d’oh of course.
You are correct, Donna is getting fidgety… she does NOT like to be kept waiting.
Ah yes the lab results. BRB I will just go and ask for them…. :))))
Leo Herrera ???? What’s going on, what did Lucy do ? Is she a spy for her parents or what ?
She is a total spy!! Especially when baracuda Mom starts pushing her buttons!!!
