She assumed she had stopped walking because nothing seemed to be moving. Nothing at all.
She knew that she heard something, just wasn’t sure what it was.
“The windows are dirty” she thought.
“Bette.”
“How did I miss that?” she questioned herself.
“Bette.”
Reaching her hand up to her face, she quickly rubber her eyes and saw that to her dismay, the sight in front of her had not changed.
“Bette” she finally heard.
Focusing on Tina for the first time, Bette finally spoke.
“Tina?”
“Yeah” she smiled at Bette.
“What are you doing here?” she whispered.
“I came here to see you” she explained, taking a small step towards Bette.
“Why?” asked Bette, confused and in an utter state of shock at seeing Tina after all of this time.
“Beacause I need to talk to you” she whispered as she moved even closer to Bette.
Finally within arm’s reach of Bette, Tina reached forward and placed her hand on Bette’s arm, to simply feel her as well as offer some physical support.
Looking down, Bette studied Tina’s hand on her arm and thought to herself how surreal all of this seemed to be.
“Bette” they heard.
Both women turned towards the door where they saw Shelly standing there.
“I’m sorry to interrupt” she softly said, “but your sister’s on the phone and she needs to talk to you.”
Tina said nothing, but continued to hold onto her arm as her eyes never left Bette.
“She’s on the phone?” Bette asked.
“Yes” said Shelly as she took in the physical appearance of Bette, noting how completely different she looked from the confident, self-assured woman that had walked out of her office just minutes ago.
“Ok” said Bette as she turned back to Tina.
“I” said Bette as she jerked a thumb over her shoulder in the general direction of Shelly.
“I know” said Tina as she squeezed Bette’s arm.
Bette continued to just look at Tina, not understanding what was happening at this moment in time.
“Bette” they heard again from Shelly.
Tina just smiled at Bette and said, “I’ll be right here.”
The only acknowledgement Bette offered to hearing Tina was a small nod of her head.
As Bette turned to leave, Tina finally dropped her hand from her arm.
“And this time, baby, I’m not going anywhere” she said under her breath as she watched Bette walk away.

But I digress….GREAT chapter, pls don’t make me wait too long for the next….poor bette, I’m thinking that she’s gonna make this hard for our miss TK….and rightfully so..
That was GREAT…Go Tina…THANKS FOR THE CHAPTER..HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT TIME ON YOUR VACATION….
I’m curious where this is gonna go. Will there be more about how long they were together before Tina left her the second time, etc. etc.
Phew, I just exhaled. You really wracked up the (delicious) tension as we waited for the big meeting. Well done, I say.
T will be lucky if Bette welcomes her, IMO, especially with Kit running interference. It’s delicious – thanks.
Hey Skip, I could hardly breathe through this whole chapter! Excellent as always!!!
You have got to start posting much sooner. This story is getting so good, I can’t wait for the next chapter. Please tell us why Tina took off for a second time, I can’t wait to see where you take this. Wonderful posting…
I was wonderin where u were, leavin me with that cliffie 4 soooooooo long!!!! Now I hope that it won’t be 2 long b4 they start talking and workin through their “stuff”, AND NOSEY ALICE STAYING OUT OF IT ALL!!!!!
My my my…a great chapter as usual, but I barely breathed the whole 3 pages.
I think that Kit needs to mind her own damn business!!!!! I also think that Bette should have told Shelly that she would call her back!!! I don’t want her talking to kit, I want her to talk to Bette!!!
You’re killing me here, skipton! And I bet you love every minute of it.

Jumping up and down….giving you a ^5!! Now that’s what I’m talkin”bout! I couldnt breathe worth a damn!!
WOW!!!! I hope Tina’s able to explain her actions to Bette and that Bette will understand. This is getting really good, skip!
Excellent chapter. I hope they can work it out but it seems like people are realy upset with Tina so it will be intresting to see where they go from here and if Bette can forgive Tina for leaving.
I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until the chapter ended and I was finally able to take a breath. Damn, this is good. Bette must have been through hell when Tina left her.
I also was sittting on the edge of my chair and holding my breath. Tina has a lot of explaining to do…I hope Beth listens. Everyone needs to step back and let Tina and Beth work this out…hopefully with the results we are all wishing for.
Thk God Bette din faint after seeing Tina. hee~ I’ve been waitin for this chapter the whole week..!!!! Hope Bette will let Tina in.. post soon!
OMG!! You’ve managed to make my heart feel as though it is in a vice!!! I am soooooo loving this story!!!! Please post something soon–I mean the next chapter, that is what I mean…and please hurry! Thanks:)
Skip i love this story. I hope Kit doesn’t ruin this moment. Please don’t be gone so long. next chapter soon i hope.
oh my god Skip reading this chapter gave me an axiety attack.I hope they can talk to one another and work it out.
I’m feeling very protective of Bette. I am the counterpart of Shane.
At least Bette didn’t kick her out of the gallery, right?
Question: does Tina still own half of the gallery?
Why am I messing your narrative flow?
Great chapter, I was waiting with bated breath all throughout.
i know kit only wants the best for bette… so i hope she doesn’t ruin this for tina… kit has to understand the best for bette is tina… love this SKIP… please continue
Seeing Tina was to Bette’s “dismay”, hmmm; I’m a BnT fan so I’d like to see them together, but Tina did leave twice, sneaking off the 2nd time and “slammed” the door on Bette twice in NYC…will Bette just welcome her back with open arms? bette’s heart is still raw, Tina is still an emotional mess, though most of that is anxiousness to know if she can still have a life with Bette, it will be too bad if she blew it by shutting Bette out; if she had only sent word..”I had to go, but I’m working on me to get us back”, her method was harsh and selfish..let’s get this show on the road POST!
Loving this chapter. Please don’t let Kit stop what is about to happen and Please, Please don’t let Tina leave again and let Bette accept her back. They belong together.
Skipton,
You tantalize and then torment me with that ending. After all the build up I was desperate to see how Bette and Tina would react when then met for the first time again. You beautifully prepared the soil, laid the groundwork, started planting the seeds and now I have to wait to see how they grow.
Not fair but wondrous written. You have, as always, captured all of the emotions perfectly. Tina’s nervousness and anticipation was palpable whereas Bette loss of consciousness was real.
I can’t wait for your continuation of this marvellous melodrama.
As Tina said “baby, I’m not going anywhere.”
Your Loyal Fan
More !! i want more !!! Skipton, you are the best writter here, that’s for sure ! I love yout style ! It makes me laugh, cry…you’re the best. You convey emotions so well…Thanks a lot for that !! i still have butterflies in my stomack !
Nicely done. Tina stood there and is willing to put everything on the line for true love. Excellent job.
You’re killing me! Excellent write! More soon . . . pleeeaase!!!
here we go..waitin for the next!!
D-R-A-M-A in spades!
I think you had us all collectively holding our breaths. That was like watching something in slow motion. I found myself wanting to reach out and hold Shelly back and throttle Alice.
I thought for a moment there that Bette was fainting. I know that I would have.
Excellent chapter. Always so well constructed.
No, Kit, NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
can’t…breathe….too much tension…ack!
;) Great, again!
Whoh that was good.
Thank you.
GRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Because I love you and this story I will forgive you for this. Three pages and they…just…barely…
Thanks! I am waiting for you next post. Soon?
Hi Skipton,
I just read all of your breathtaking chapters in one sitting. Well, almost one sitting. I got up to look out of the window at the firetruck bolting down the street. Then I got sidetracked and put another load of clothes in the washer – but since then, I’ve been glued to your story. You are an exceptional writer and this story is no different. The emotion in Shane’s character is heartfelt when defending B&T’s relationship to Alice & the girls. Kit’s concern when telling Shelly “to march out there and tell Bette that I’m on the phone and that I need to talk to her.” Is profound. I could feel the plates of protection for her sister sliding into place. And the description of the thought process with the dirty windows competing against seeing Tina was killing me. I think I lost all conscious thought too because I had to remind myself to breathe.
thought for a minute that the whole chapter was going to be about the others and you was going to make us wait.thank god you didnt.great chapter!
Tina could go a long way by showing Bette some submissive body language: on bended knee or showing her soft underbelly would do for starters.
I’m still wondering: what does she want?
excellent chapter go TIna get your woman
