Taking a deep breath, Tina just nodded her head and said, “Ok, I’ll walk you out.”
Tina followed behind Bette as they walked outside and could not keep her eyes off of the sight in front of her. She looked absolutely stunning in a black sleeveless top whose spaghetti straps allowed for an amazing view of her shoulders and upper back. The black satin pants that she had on were cut low enough to offer a small glimpse of her lower back, right above her hips.
As they reached the car, Bette unlocked it and turned to Tina after she had opened the door.
“I’m sorry that I can’t stay longer” she said sincerely.
“Me too” said Tina, saddened that this was all that she was to see of Bette tonight.
“Tina, look” said Bette as her eyes came into contact with Tina’s. “I know that you want to get together and talk.”
“I do, very much” she said.
“It’s just that” she said, pausing to take a deep breath as she looked away briefly. Returning her eyes to Tina, she said “It’s just not that easy for me.”
“I understand that Bette, I really do, and I don’t want you to think that I am not aware of how difficult this must be for you” she said, placing her hand on Bette’s arm that was resting on top of the car door.
“But Bette, it won’t get any easier, it can’t get any easier until we talk” she said, the tone in her voice pleading for Bette to hear what she was saying.
“Baby-” Tina paused after catching what she had said and then continued. “Bette, I’m not here to hurt you. I am willing to swear on that with everything that I know and love.”
Looking at her, Bette could see the sincerity and honesty pouring from Tina.
“All I want, all I need is a chance to try and explain to you what happened, what went so wrong. That’s all I’m asking. If after we talk, you still want nothing to do with me, then I will leave you alone, totally exit your life, but please Bette, please just give me a chance” she begged, tears pouring down her face.
Reaching over, Bette ran a finger down Tina’s cheek, lightly brushing the tears away that were falling.
“I’ve always hated to see you cry” she whispered.
“I don’t want to cry anymore, Bette” she softly said, reaching up to gently cup Bette’s hand that was on her face.
“Neither do I” she said in a voice just above a whisper.
“Will you meet with me then?” she asked. “Please?”
Dropping her hand from Tina’s cheek, Bette brought it back to her side.
“Yes” she finally answered. “But Tina, I can’t promise you anything. Please know that going into it.”
“That’s fair” she said, a small smile finally returning to her face.
Nodding her head towards the car, Bette said, “I have to go.”
Watching her get into the car and then closing the door after her, Tina waited for Bette to roll down the window.
“Can I call you next week?” asked Tina.
“Sure” answered Bette as she put the car into reverse. Looking back at Tina she said, “If you miss me, just leave a message.”
“I will” she smiled as she reached into the car to touch Bette on the shoulder.
“Thank you” Tina said as the car began to move away.
Bette just raised her hand to wave good bye and slowly drove off.
Standing there with her arms wrapped around herself, Tina watched the car until she could no longer see it.
“You ok?” asked
Turning to
“I think I will be” she said as she finally pulled back, wiping her face dry.
“Yeah?” asked
“Yeah” smiled Tina as the two friends turned to walk back into the house.

Two days in a row? I love it and I loved this chapter!
skip, unbelievable beautiful tender story
This is a great story. Can’t wait for your next post.
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
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)
Love it as always..GREAT JOB..THANKS
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”
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.
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….
Reading 2 chapter’s from Skippy going into a weekend……priceless!!! Pls post when you can. As usual, your writing is superb.
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)
Much better skip! really good that Bette come and try to talk to Tina great Thanks skip Please continue post soon!!!
Wonderful chapter. Can’t wait till they talk. Can’t wait to read more.
You writing is so soft and real – thanks.
What’s the gift? I almost believe it’s the ring! Please post again soon.
Brava! Two terrific chapters. Bette is softening and that exchange between them at the car had me holding my breath. Loved every word – thanks>
Really enjoyed this post!
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!
God Skip…you absolutely slay me…every single time!!! Sniff, sniff…thank you.
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
Wow, this has got to be one of my favorite running stories on the site, you and Tiff both rock!!!!
Well thats broke the ice.Good chapter,waiting for the next
Delicious, as always.
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!
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…
this is an excellent story.thanks.
*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!!!
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.
Great chapter as always!!!

My heart can’t take much more of this, it just sits in my mouth.The decriptions in this story just slay me.
