    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 19

     

    Tina remained silent, just focused on what Shelly was saying to her.

     

    “It has taken Bette a long time to get to the place where she is now and between you and me, there were times that I wasn’t sure that she was going to be able to do it, to pull it all together.”

     

    “But” she continued, “bottom line is that she did.”

     

    Not knowing where Shelly was going with this, she continued to say nothing, just absorbed this brief glimpse of Bette’s life from before.

     

    “Tina, Bette’s a pain in the ass” she said, comment drawing out an unexpected chuckle from both women.

     

    “But I love her and care for her deeply.  She is one of the brightest people that I’ve ever had the pleasure of working for and as much of a horse’s ass as she is, wouldn’t trade in the experience for anything in the world.”

     

    “And before you get the wrong idea” she quickly added, “I’m straight and love her like an older sister, a much older sister” she chuckled.

     

    “I got that” smiled Tina, beginning to see why Bette and Shelly worked so well together.

     

    “And the point of telling you all of this?” Shelly asked.  “Because I want it to be crystal clear that if I thought that Bette was for one second in trouble or in need of something, regardless of what it was, I wouldn’t think twice about going against her wishes to tell you exactly where she was, down to giving you the directions to her location myself.”

     

    “So” said Tina.

     

    “So” said Shelly.  “I spoke to her, she seemed a little lost and confused, but generally, appeared to be okay.”

     

    “Alright, that’s fair” Tina conceded.  “I’ll trust your judgment on this one, but is there anything that you can share with me, anything at all that she said?”

     

    “She asked me to tell you that she would call you when she got back to town and to please just be patient with her.”

     

    “Did she say when that would be?  When she was going to be back in town?”

     

    “Probably Sunday” she answered.

     

    Tina said nothing as she thought about Bette and where she could be.

    1. I think you should post another chapter in a few more hrs. lol.Like this story and impatient to read next chapters.Nice to see that Bette is not the grovelling one

    2. skip, gonna break our hearts arent ya? Or are you gonna make this fan fiction site more exciting with Bette & Tina back where they belong than what Season3 is going to give us. I Wonder?

    3. Cat Tee vs Canary Be, hoho. What will Bette do in the next few hours? I hope it’s dumping Lee… We really didn’t see her around a lot, rite? haha

    4. skip, as always, thank you. I’m like a gazillion miles away (in the far east), S3 Ep1 is being aired as I write this. I definitely prefer your story to what is supposedly being written by IC for bette and Tina this season. Please post like…..now would be really great! Okay, as soon as you can. We’re dying for the conversation.

    5. I don’t have Showtime, so I have to rely on Fan Fiction to get me through. Please allow Bette and Tina to reconnect. It can be slow, just let Bette tell Tina that she wants to work things out.

    6. skip, Great chapter. Please let Bette and Tina get back together soon and make it slow and both of them taking there time with each other. I think Bette will dump Lee. PLEASE POST SOON!!!

    7. I feel were in for a let down, but I am hoping so very much that I am wrong. Please let them get back togther. Maybe Bette is jus setting up something to surprise Tina, I can dream can’t I.

    8. I’m waiting for the other shoes to fall,don’t believe it will be in Tina favor. You sort of get tired of being kick when you are down. you get up on your knees and wham,you get kicked again thanks

    9. Always a treat to see a chapter from you. You did a wonderful job of conveying that uneasy feeling of not knowing what’s going on. First with Tina’s conversation with Shelly and then when Bette returned. We take any bit of information, no matter how tiny and cling to it like a life preserver desperate that it will be what helps us to stay afloat in uncertain waters. It was best that Tina didn’t remember about Shutters, what ever decision that Bette comes to it needs to be by her own will. Not because she feels guilty or because Tina forces her hand, that way if she does decide to return to Tina there will be no doubt that it was an act of free will. Hmmm, do one of the things that Bette needs to take care of before she and Tina talk to let Lee down easy? Can’t wait for your next installment.

    10. Skip….read the chapter early this a.m., but did not have time to comment then. Wanted to say great chapter. Bette has a lot of stuff to process and needed space. As much as I like Alice, she just gets on my nerves sometimes….whether she belongs to IC or you. Pls carry on with your literary skills.

    11. A few more hours feels like a lifetime – that’s what it is! Excellent story. Hope Bette can see the love for Tina in her heart like the speck of light at the end of the tunnel, and follow it home.

    12. Skipton,Beautiful as always.I love the way that you carefully crafted this tender tale.Bette’ aloofness and Tina nervousness shout out from the page. I can’t wait to read what Bette has to sort out; Lee perhaps.You have to be true to yourself as Tina has finally realized now just to get Bette to the same place.I know that it will be messy. I now that it will be painful. I now that there will be tears; both of joy and of sorrow. And I know how well written it will be.Please continue soon as I will be on tender hooks until then.Many thanks,Your Loyal Fan.

    13. Bette is playing it close to the vest. You are so good at this stuff. I started out hating this Tina for the pain she caused Bette and me, lol. But now, I am cheering her on and hoping she and I get what we want…the two of them back together.

    14. I really love your story, your writing and your spot-on dialogue. Please post another excellent chapter very soon! Thanks so very much for writing and sharing.

    15. Skip…I know what you’re doing! You want Bette to get her personal life cleaned up so that she be free to go back to Tina right? Awesome post again Skip!!

    16. Be still my beating heart! Bette is back and I’m not feeling a connection!!Skip please be careful my life is in your hands!:) Shelly called Tina? hmmmm..

    17. ”And maybe Skip’s unpredicatbleness ain’t such a bad thing.” (as Alice would say). As much as I wonder where you’re taking this, I’m trying to remain settled because we’re in good hands, right? I’m also trying to remind myself that I like Tina even though she’s being quite pushy at the moment. I understand she’s anxious, but please give Bette some time before bugging the hell out of her. I’m pretty riled up right now, so I guess I’ll practice my breathing in attempt to calm down. Loved it…

    18. Ah the torturous, delightful suspense of waiting to see what Bette will say and do. She seems very cool and in control. Tina, on the other hand, is wearing her desperation like a billboard, stopping just short of clingy. I think Alice is right, Tina better keep her expectations in check.Nicely done chapter, Skipton. Love this story.
