Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 17
“No, I’m not telling you that. I’m sure that they are sleeping together as a matter of fact. It’s just that, I don’t know, Bette doesn’t seem all that into it.”
“And why do you say that?” asked Tina. “Is that what Bette said?”
“She never told me that in so many words, it’s just something that I’ve picked up on.”
“Al-” Tina began but was interrupted by the beep signaling a call on the other line. “Hold on” she said as she quickly switched over to the other line.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Tina? Hi, it’s Bette.”
“Hi” she said, hoping that Bette was not able to hear the relief in her voice that she knew was there.
“How are you?”
“Good and you?” Tina asked as she walked inside to the sofa to sit down.
“Pretty good, busy, but good” she answered.
“Thanks for calling me back” she said as she smiled into the phone, willing her heart rate to slow down.
“Sure” said Bette. “Sorry it took me so long but I had an unscheduled meeting take place that spilled over to lunch.”
“Everything ok?” asked Tina, the worry in her voice evident.
“No no” said Bette, “everything’s fine. Just some ideas being tossed around.”
“Ok” said Tina. “If you need to bounce anything off of me, please know that you can.”
“Thanks” said Bette. “I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Oh *****, Bette, hold on one second, ok?”
“Sure” she answered.
Switching back over to Alice, Tina said, “Hey, it’s Bette. I gotta call you back. Bye.”
Without giving
“Yeah.”
“Sorry ’bout that, that was Al on the other line and I needed to get off.”
“Not a problem” responded Bette. “How’s she doing anyway?”
“Fine, you know Al. S
“No surprises there” chuckled Bette. After a brief pause, she continued, “So, you still want to get together?”
Exhaling, Tina said, “I’m guessing you know the answer to that.”
“Ok” said Bette. “What did you have in mind? Do you want to do lunch this week? We could meet somewhere.”

I’ve spent part of my week re-reading all of your stories, so this was right on time. Thanks Skip!
well they’d better be back because their road back to each other is long and painful…thanks, beautiful chapter
That was a little sad, but hopefully they get to talk. And I also know Bette remembers and think about it. Please post soon
Love your writing. Please let Bette be honest with Tina and let Tina try and win her back.
Thanks Skip, I can’t wait until Wednesday!!!
it breaks my TiBette heart see Tina sufering like this so fucking hard..i hope Bette find in her heart a way to give to Tina and to them a second chance..cant wait for more thanks
Thankyou for the chapter, I like this Bette and Tina….
Yeah, let them be back, but maybe not too soon, hoho.
Great chapter. I’ve missed this story. Looking forward to more.
I have been patiently waiting for this. Thanks for posting, the story is great and so heartfelt. Please post more soon.
You’ve got to get them back. You know Bette feels the same way. That was so sad, but I feel a glimpse of hope in there.
Where have you been? I have missed your stories so much, please make us not wait too long for the dinner
love your story great chapter dont leave us waiting tooo long
Thanks, you’re worth waiting for.
What a storyteller you are. Thanks for writing!
So effin good. I, along with Tina, am totally dismantled. I can’t wait for there discussion.
Bette’s trying to distance herself from her and Tina, but it’s not really working. Ignoring it insteading of dealing with it is entirely different and can be quite difficult. Hopefully, Tina can get her to open up. Please continue.
Skippy…You’re the best; so glad that you’re back!
That was so beautifully written, each of their stories so carefully drawn and so subtle. Sigh.
I can always count on you for an enjoyable read…I look forward to more when you’re able to post.
Just hope that Bette lets herself go, They both need each other. Thanks
POST SOON PLEASE I LOVE YOUR STORIES WISH YOU COULD WRITE FOR THE L WORD
Thank you again Skipton. You always make my day although I was on the brink of tearing up whilst reading this chapter. I beg you….please post soon!
Ah, Skipton, there you are…up on a plateau, looking down on all Fanficdom. When you look around, you don’t see many others with you, do you? Huummmm……..
Amazing chapter…you have the hability to put us right in the moment and feel the emotion they are both experiencing…I feel bad for them, they are both hurting so much… I hope Bette can be the bigger persone and hear Tina out and not do to Tina what was done to her…post real soon.
Yes Bette does remember, but it will take time for Tina to melt her harden heart. They really need to talk to work their way thru this. Please continue Skip great jog :o)
Methinks Techgal pretty well summed it all up for us mere mortals. Thanks once again for sharing your writing skills. You, like Olives, have the ability to transport your audience right to the very scene of action. Can’t wait till your next post.
How sad for T….I hope things work out for them…and Bette I’m sure thinks A LOT about that trip.
Hear, hear to what techgal said. It’ll be a long a painful journey to healing and hopefully getting back together for Tina and Bette. At least they will be starting to deal with their pain and hopefully Bette will no longer try to deny and ignore her pain. Thanks for sharing your talent, Skip.
You know I just read all of the chapters of this story and is so love it. They are so emotion, sad, hurt and so sad for them and hope they talk and work thing out. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Ahh heartwrenching! You capture their emotions perfectly, Skip. That’s it Tina. Keep the TiBette hope alive.
always a joy skip!
Skip, I’m a new convert. You are converting me back to being a lover of Tina’s character in this story. The chapter is rich with emotional intrigue. Seems like DL95 and I had the same idea this week. I love to re-visit your stories, they are classics. Tipping my hat to Techgal, she says it best.
this was the 1st story for me today it was sad please get them together soon have to hunt up something happen now
always know you will leave me wanting more. even if its painful. thanks.
What a beautiful story..sad but beautifully written as always. Thank you.
Just because she doesn’t think about it… or admit to thinking about it doesn’t mean that it’s not what should be. You can try to ignore love but in the end it’s the only thing that counts. Even if you can’t act on it at the time.
Simply beautiful. Always a pleasure to read your story.
I love how there is such a great roll reversal in this stroy. Tina as the fighter for Bette’s love and trust. It’s a nice change of pace. I can’t wait to hear what T has to say to B about why she left in the middle of the night.Please post soon. Keep up the great work!
