    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 15

     

    “Bette-” said Alice.

     

    “Al, I really do need to go” she said cutting her off.

     

    “What time is your dinner?” she asked.

     

    “Why does that matter?” asked Bette.

     

    “Bette, what time is your dinner?” she repeated.

     

    “7:30” she answered impatiently.

     

    “People are coming by at seven and it would really mean a lot to all of us if you came by, just for five minutes” she said.

     

    Bette said nothing giving Alice the opportunity to continue.

     

    “Look Bette, I know that this is a lot to ask.  We all know that this is a lot to ask, but for God’s sake, you can not avoid Tina forever” she said, anger and frustration entering her voice.

     

    Walking across the kitchen, she quietly closed the door so that Tina was not able to hear what she was saying to Bette.

     

    “I know what she did was awful and please don’t ever think that I will change my position on that, but Bette, I’ve talked to her and she had her reasons.  And contrary to what you may think, she was trying to do what she thought was right.”

     

    Dropping her head into her hands, Bette sat there silently, listening to what Alice was saying.

     

    “She loves you Bette, she always has” she gently said, trying to get through to her friend.

     

    The tears that had been so close to the surface since Tina’s return, threatened to make an appearance yet again.

     

    “What do you want me to do, Alice?” Bette whispered hoarsely.

     

    “Talk to her Bette, just talk to her” she implored.

     

    “I don’t know that I can do that” she said, tears now falling unimpeded.

     

    “Yes you can, Bette.  You are one of the strongest people that I have ever met” she said passionately.

     

    “Not when it comes to Tina” she said, wiping the tears from her face, begging for Alice to understand.

     

    “She won’t hurt you again, Bette.”

     

    “You don’t know that, Al” Bette said crying softly.

     

    “Yes, I do.  I know Tina and once you talk to her, you’ll see too.”

     

    Taking a deep breath, Bette tried to get her emotions under control.  “I’m not saying yes, Al” she said seriously, not wanting Alice to read more into it than was there.

    1. Yipppee twice in the one day. How do you manage to do it, I could see them walking out to the car, I could feel the tension, feel the pain, see the tears. You are a genius please continue. If you had to write a book about B&T I would read it & read it & read it. In fact i have the 6 month chapter which i have printed off and take with me where ever I go, that I dont have a PC to check Fanfiction. By-the way miss 6 months chapter loved it was my favourite of B&T getting back together. You are the best Skip. xx

    2. OMG..im glad Tina is finally breaking the ice..and Bette is leting her to do this..i hope they will talk soon im curious too..lol..cant want for more thanks ;o)

    3. hey skip – i only have 10 finger nails and 10 toe nails. if i give them all to you now, after i pull them out myself will the pain be easier of going through what you are so elegantly going to put us through?in the words of alice, “here we go”

    4. This story is so strange for me, here you have two people hurting for different reasons. Tina’s hurt is based on the fact that she is finally at that place where she feels able to love and be with Bette but it’s not quite possible. While Bette is hurting cause her being is shrouded in the remnants of losing the woman she loves. This is having the weirdest effect on me. Here I am smiling and having fuzzy feelings while simultaneously experiencing a strong sense of hurt and despair. I can only attribute this to the wicked strokes you are carefully applying to this masterpiece Skippy.

    5. thank you so much for writing, the stories you write are so real and honest. Thankyou for not rushing them, too many good stories are rushed and then over…and thankyou for posting so soon….

    6. My heart was in my throat the entire time reading this! I don’tknow how many more of these angst ridden chapters I can take, skip! Can u just fast-forward get them together for that talk already! Geez! (thank you)

    7. Skip, loved it! I love that your reading is so real and true to the characters. I’m glad that they’ll talk and hopefully the gift is something that won’t hurt Tina or make her regret the past more, they need to move forward!

    8. wow, i was holding my breath the whole time, it’s so intense…at least we are moving forward and bette agreed to talk…oh, she better listen to tina and see her reasons…thanks

    9. Excellent, as usual, and maybe even better. My Tina-meter just went from zero to 2. I remain stony-hearted and skeptical, however. I am holding out for an explanation to rival Deborah Kerr’s in ‘An Affair to Remember’ “I was looking up, it was the closest thing to heaven…” Thanks!

    10. skip… i just caught up..love this story… and i’m glad that bette is willing to at least talk with tina… now i have faith…so please be careful with my bette and tina heart…

    11. *Pumps fist into the air* Yes!! Thank you soo much for giving Bette the grace to be the bigger person and for allowing Tina the chance to explain things to Bette. Love this story, Skip! Thank you!!!

    12. Wow! That’s all I can say. Love the drama, love the angst, love the pace, love that Bette is giving a chance to hear Tina out even though she’s not promising anything. Oh, how your words keep us wanting more each time despite the heartahce…. Thank you.

    13. Wknds are my only chance now to catch up on the 50+ stories I started reading 2 months ago…..Lee is very bright; she knows that life as she once knew it is going to definitely change. I just wouldnt have her packing her bags just yet though; I dont want this to be too easy for Tina since she is the one that slithered out in the middle of the night…..As always, thank you for another great chapter……until next wknd I remain……

    14. skippy..you are trying to drive us nuts aren’t you. GOd..please have them talk, have some drama, then start working on their relationship..oh and please get rid of Lee. please post really soon.
