    N/A

     

    “I didn’t either” she smiled slightly as she looked at Bette, “another thing that Joan was able to make me see.”

     

    “So, you left me because you hated me?” Bette asked, trying to make sense of all of this.

     

    “No, well, not directly” answered Tina.  “I left because I was killing our relationship.”

     

    “I gotta tell you, Tina, walking out on me in the middle of the night didn’t do a lot for its health either.”

     

    “I know, Bette, but I had to make a decision and that decision was to make myself better and then fight for us.  Every day that I stayed with you was another day taken off of the life of our time together.  Do you not remember how we were around each other?  The way that we were treating each other?  Baby, that was not a relationship.  That was two people staying together for all of the wrong reasons.”

     

    “I don’t remember it being that bad” said Bette.

     

    “There’s that selective memory coming into play again” she teased as she reached over to quickly squeeze Bette’s shoulder.

     

    Neither woman said anything as they both tried to take in what had been shared so far.

     

    “Bette, I really need to make something clear to you, crystal clear” she reiterated as she waited for Bette to acknowledge this.

     

    “Ok” she said, waiting to hear what Tina had to say.

     

    “Leaving you the way that I did had nothing to do with whether or not I loved you” she said as she looked deeply into Bette’s eyes.  “I really need for you to understand that, Bette.  As a matter of fact, I think that it was because I loved you as much as I did, and do” she added, “that I was able to leave.”

     

    “You really expect me to believe that you left me because you loved me?” Bette asked shakily as she looked down at her hands in her lap, her own tears now beginning to appear.

     

    “Bette, baby” Tina said as she closed the distance between the two of them, taking Bette into her arms.

     

    “It’s not that simple” she whispered into her ear as she held onto Bette tightly, hands running up and down Bette’s back.

     

    “So, make it simple, Tina” Bette begged, lifting her head as she pulled back from Tina’s embrace. 

     

    “Please, I’m begging you, make me understand” she pleaded, her sobs shaking her thin frame.

     

    “Bette” she whispered, crying at seeing Bette’s pain so close to the surface.

     

    “I will, baby” she said as she kept her arms loosely draped around Bette’s trembling body.

     

    “I promise” she whispered as she pulled Bette back in to hold her again.  “Just give me a chance, baby and I promise, I’ll make you understand.”

    1. skip, just saw your post, I have to tell you for this story, I start with the last page first. It is so hard to read, It is like watching a movie, and It keeps me so on edge. I love your writing

    5. please make me underestand too..i never thought love could bring so much pain like this..Bette is like a child lost in the woods waitng for help..i hope Tina will be able to bring her back and together they will find their way again…amazing simply amazing chapter..thanks :o)

    7. Wow, seems to be the answer. I feel so bad right now, for both of them. I hope Tina has the answers. I can understand leaving someone while you still care because things are happening that you fear will destroy what you have if you don’t go, but the person deserves to know. I swear these two love each other like we can all only hope for, and seem to have the damnest time letting each other know. Looking forward to the continuation.

    8. oh, shit. that was heavy. i’m glad that they were able to “break the ice” and truly start to work out their relationship. i’m with pandora – make me understand too. i kinda get tina’s reason but not really.

    9. Yeah Skip is really good heh? Hmmm suddenly that root canal is looking pretty damn good right about now. At th end of this story I can already feel Bette pulling away. The next chapter is going to be a bitch.

    14. I don’t think that I’ve ever commented on one of your stories b4, but I have always read them and throughly enjoyed them. 2day however is different. DAMN THIS WAS EXPLOSIVELY EMOTIONAL (is that even correct grammar….LOL, who gives a hoot, it’s how I feel). ONE QUESTION AND I SURE HOPE YOU’D ANSWER…..Y OH Y OH Y DO U TAKE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONG TO POST??????? IT WOULD REALLY BE A GREAT XMAS IF WE OR RATHER I CAN GET A CHAPTER (on this story) FROM U EVERY DAY UNTIL XMAS!!!!!

    15. work, no work but i had to read it…this is really intense, and sometimes it does seem hard to understand tina’s actions, so i hope she will explain it to bette and make it simple and they can move on together after that…the love is still there

    17. Skip, that was awesome! It’s amazing to me how well you capture the emotion and anguish that these two women are feeling. You have such a way with words. Can’t wait for the next chapter! Please don’t keep us waiting long.

    19. As I have said many times before I love love your stories. As somebody says, it is like watching a movie, you are so in the room feeling there pain or joy but mostly love. Merry christmas Skip, would love a present from you another chapter, which I may add will be the best present I will recieve. xx

    23. Wow is right! You’ve blown me away with the powerful emotions coming from the girls. It really did feel like I was there watching the scene unfold before my eyes. Thanks, Skip.

    27. god! i can’t believe that i’ve neglected reading FF for so long! Damn, Skip! You are so good at this and I’m kicking myself for not keeping up! I’m going to have to go back now and catch up. Thank you so much for plugging away at this incredible story!

    28. god! i can’t believe that i’ve neglected reading FF for so long! Damn, Skip! You are so good at this and I’m kicking myself for not keeping up! I’m going to have to go back now and catch up. Thank you so much for plugging away at this incredible story!

    30. Wow, Skip, you are amazing. I just love where you are going with this story. Please don’t let Tina let go of Bette…it’s that intimate contact that is going to help them find each other again.

    32. skip – I am in awe – this was such an amazing conversation with both characters taking such a risk to try to talk despite Bette’s defensive stance she’s there to heal if she can. Why oh why don’t you write for IC – your dialogue is so real – TPTB need you badly. thanks for this story with the twist of Tina leaving Bette – I love it.

    38. Finally! Some answers are now given as to why she’d take off in the middle of the night. Though, I have to say that Bette is kinda thick for not thinking the affair would not have killed Tina in every sense. I can see Tina’s rationalization through all of this though…I hope to see our ladies together once again. Communication is the ultimate key.

    39. Tina sure lapsed back into the ‘babies’ mighty quick. If I was Bette, I would have brought her up short. Bette is still vulnerable to her. NOT GOOD. I can’t help feeling Tina is feeding Bette a line of hooey and setting her up for – what round would it be this time, two or three? Convince me, Skipton, convince me that Tina is worth the time and effort. I remain a stone where she is concerned. And not soapstone either!

    43. All caught up & attempting to still my racing heart. The dialog between B&T is so realistic and poignant. Seems like Tina is prepared to forge ahead and ‘make Bette understand’. I’m pulling for her. (Did I just say that?) Wonderful Skip. Just wonderful…

    49. Wow…awesome chapter. The truth hurts but it will set you free. Wanting to know the truth and being able to hear and accept it are two totally different things. Let hope Bette can handle it.

    53. Well, they’re finally getting down to business and there’s no turning back. I love your realistic dialogue as barriers to their relationship are slowly peeled away. Please post more frequently and I love your writing.

    54. It is really hard to find someone who writes long term relationship issues as well as you do. This was top shelf stuff. Being a recent Tina convert, I feel her pain and feel Bette wanting to understand and forgive her, just not knowing how. I hope you grace us with another chapter before Christmas. But, if that isn’t possible, I hope you and your lovely wife have a very Merry Christmas.

    55. This story defies words. Why do I usually have to search for it though? It does not come up on the day-to-day with the other Bette/Tina posts. Oh well, if I need to go on a hunt, this story is a worthy treasure in the end :-) I too would love another story before Christmas :-)

    56. There is such a fine line between love and hate. Sometimes you just want to hate your lover and other times you just want to hold on with everything that you have. Have a Merry Christmas and am looking forward to the next chapter.
