Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 14
“She’s back in town” said Bette as she looked down at her hands which were currently folded in her lap.
“Back in town as in visiting or back in town as in moved back to town?”
“As in moved back to town” sighed Bette as she continued to look down at her hands.
“When?”
“Just the other day.”
Lee watched Bette and saw how uncomfortable she was at sharing this information. Sliding over a bit, she placed her arm on the back of the sofa and let her fingers lightly play with the soft skin of Bette’s neck.
“Why is she here?” she asked.
“I don’t really know” answered Bette.
“Could it have anything to do with the woman that I am currently sitting with?”
Shrugging her shoulders, Bette said nothing.
“Wow” said Lee. “Well, if there was ever a time to be insecure in a relationship, I guess this would be as good as any, huh?” she said with a small smile on her face.
“Lee” began Bette as she finally looked up. “This changes nothing between you and me, ok?”
“I’d like to believe that sweetie, but I don’t know that that’s going to be the case.”
“Why do you say that?” asked Bette.
“Bette, the woman that you were together with off and on for ten years, the woman that you were married to, attempted to have children with, is back in town and you don’t think that that will impact our relationship?” she asked incredulously.
“Not if we don’t let it” Bette replied stubbornly.
Saying nothing, Lee just sat there watching Bette. She could see that Bette truly believed what she was saying, but from what she had been able to discern of Bette’s relationship with Tina, she knew that life as they had known it was about to change.
“Have you seen her?” asked Lee.
“Yes” said Bette as she looked back down at her hands.
“And?”
“She came by the gallery the other night and then I ran into her at The Planet yesterday.”
“So, let me get this straight” said Lee, irritation growing in her voice. “Tina, your ex-wife, has been here for just a couple of days and you’ve already seen her twice?”

Oh the drama and the angst! Great chapter!
bette porter dose not rn so stop it!!!!!!!!!!! go and see tina like yesterday post soon!
bye bye Lee ..you will be around so long..lol..B&t need to talk and ask all of the question they have inside their hearts..amazing chapter..cant wait for more thanks :o)
Another great chapter Skip. Love this story and can’t wait for another chapter. please….soon.
Honestly? For a moment I was thinking that when Bette asked “Bedroom?” Lee was going to say “too far”, and send Bette panicking. I just love where you’re taking this.
I didn’t know I was holding my breath until I finished reading this. Skip, how do you do that to me. I don’t know who to feel worse for…Bette or Tina or maybe even Lee, because she will most definetly be a casualty if Tina has her way. Great chapter!
Lee will be on her way soon enough.Thanks Skip.
thanks for making my blood run cold skip. god she can be so stubborn. god the pain. thanks skip. im trusting you, havent steered me wrong yet. be nice. thanks
This story is yummy! I’m a sucker for the fall guy…poor Lee, she seems so nice, too bad she’s going to be the one that gets hurt! I was thinking that Tina was going to go over to Bette’s when she said she wasn’t coming…I sure hope she doesn’t go over now!
such drama…i think it will be better if bette will let lee go, it will be hard on her, and they are not that strong anyway…bette needs to talk to tina first before making any decisions…i hope B&T will be together soon
Smooth as french silk pie! I’m liking Lee. Bette is struggling against the Tina current, but I think she’s gonna go down. When that happens, can I have dibs on Lee?Thanks!
You know what, everybody? There are a legion of decent, perfectly acceptable women who get left in the T&B wake. Lee, Sara (soon not to be of this world), and I’m sure there are many others. Let’s have a lottery, shall we, to see who gets B&T’s leftovers.
Hey Skipton that was so great but I’m just crack me up with techgal hey that was so funny I don’t think I can’t think to have Bette leftover HA HA HA Whoa! OK! hey techgal that was funny Please continue post soon Thanks Skip!!
What can I say? Always a pleasure to read your writing. I look forward to more whenever you’re able to update.
This is the first time that I’m leaving a comment on your posting but I just want to let you know that I love your writing and that I really appreciate what you’ve been sharing with us readers. I haven’t read this chapter yet but I’m working hard on trying to catch up. Now, back to my reading and will leave more comments once I’m all caught up.
Kick Lee to the curb, no offence Lee but our girls belong together. Another awesome chapter Skip, please post soon
hmm bette seems pretty deep in her disliking of tina rite now..lets c where u take them skip
“I just sometimes wonder if I’ll ever be able to make her understand.” Yeah, me too. On another note, Lee’s right, her relationship with Bette will change (is changing…i.e. their conversation & the outpouring of emotion from Bette). It’s good that she recognizes this upfront so she can start preparing herself for, well… so she can start preparing herself period. And Skip, I’ll have you know that I will not ‘skip’ this story even if you don’t honor my request. Okay, the whole Bette backing over T with her car was a bit harsh but I was all riled up after reading that previous chapter. *shakes head in shame* It took me forever to calm down. I even cringed when I saw this post from you. I’ll play fair from now on. Please forgive me. I like Tina. I like a healthy Tina. Repeat 100 times. Your writing is so dynamic yet delicate. What a balance. What an undeniable talent you have. Whew.
Lee and Bette’s relationship has shifted, Lee is so right…Tina has got a hell of a job on her hands to get Bette back, I don’t think Lee is going to give up so easily. Thank you.
i am always bowled over by your incredible talent! your writing is always so satifying no matter the level of angst! Thank you for sharing.
amazing as always……..!!!!!!!!
Apparently I have some catching up to do…13 chapters or so – that’s making me a very happy camper because your work is an absolute pleasure to read. Thanks for writing.
Another chapter very well thought out and well executed. Thank you for writing.
