I frowned at the funny fluttering in my stomach. I thought talking it through would solve my lingering feelings for her. But it didn’t.
The next day after I had that inexplicably torturous dream in the car, and the following days, I sulked in my grandmother’s house and didn’t get much work done. Grandmother finally couldn’t ignore my depression and she demanded a talk.
“Elizabeth, come sit with me for a while, will you?”
“Yes, ma’am.” Truth be told, I had always been a bit scared by her. Though nowadays, she rarely gave me stern lectures, I still had the tendency to obey everything she said.
Her blue eyes rested on the exquisite china tea cup in front of her. “Something is troubling you, child.”
“Yes. But I always have troubling thoughts.”
“It is about Christina, you need not to deny.” She stated and looked at me, her eyes ever so sharp and intuitive.
I found it useless to try hide anything from her.
“You want to know why I accepted her, do you not?” But she didn’t let me answer and continued. “She is a good woman, that she is. I know, people have been telling you so. It is hard for you to quite believe it.”
“Grandma, I’m sure she is a great mother. I’ve seen her with Michelangelo and I have no doubt about that.”
“Right. She was used, by her father. She made a mistake, to have deceived you, and the rest of us. However, she had paid for it, too.”
I stayed silent, but my mind yelled in extreme pain. She went on about the seven years that left me a huge gap in their life.
She said that Tina had a rough time struggling with mental illness, that Tina spent her summers working and going to summer school in order to graduate business school in three years, that Tina kept Michelangelo with her all the time in spite of her workload, and she had done a sufficient job to console the boy’s injured heart. What more did I need to confirm—like I used to tell everybody else so proudly—that she was just the nicest person I had ever met?
“You cannot go on punishing her forever, Elizabeth. It is time to give that part of you up and move on. I do not want the child to grow up in this broken spirit of yours.” She then sternly repeated. “Do you hear me? I will not have the child grow up in an unhealthy environment where his parents cannot have a decent conversation with each other.”

Alright, folks, you see the tension, and Tina’s still at Bette’s place. You can guess where I’m heading to from now on.
Wait till you see the next chapter!
And I’ve always promised to fix things.
Thank you for reading, and please I welcome your comments.
Peace
Have a nice trip and thank you for the update.
Thank you, I was indeed very lucky with my visa application.
RT,
God bless you on your visa application.
I’m glad to read your new chapter. I understand Bette’s feelings but Tina truly loved her and still loves her. So I hope that B will be able to accept Tina again.
Did Tina committed suicide? I hope that B will discover this so that she will know that Tina suffered too.
Will be waiting for your next chap :)

Thank you very much. The application went well. I’m waiting for the result and I’m certain that it was successful.
Your guess is very accurate. But it has not been divulged in the story yet. I’m going to discuss on it in later chapters and you’ll find out how I manage it.
Hope you like the next chapter. :)
Oh boy, there is for sure a lot of tension and anger.
The road for happiness will be long and with a few bumps.
Sounds like Bette is jeaulous, thats good, she can’t have expected that Tina remained single.
Good luck with getting your visa.
Yes, anger and tension. It’s gonna be pretty disastrous when it gets released all at once.
The road is not easy, otherwise, happiness is just cheap. I intend to let them have a few bumps down the road. And when they finally realize how much they love each other after all, it’s all gonna be worthy.
Thank you. You are very kind. I was lucky with my visa application.
Please continue to read my stories, and review.
Bette and Tina need to talk and work thing out, sad to see them like this
It’s sad. And unfortunately, I probably made it sadder in the next chapter.
But they’ll work it out. Have some faith! :)
I didn’t read your story in a while, but I’m glad to finally find the time to do it because I like it a lot ! My god … Bette can be such a b….
Anyway, post soon ;-)
Bette can be a little bit clueless. I know, because that’s who she is.
But she also has suffered much. It’s been eating her. Her life is a mess.
Thank you for catching up with my story and reviewing. I hope you’ll like the next chapter.
Im completely on Bette side in this. ..and just out of curiosity is this Yolanda the same as the one in therapy session on the show, Candice ex?
It is Yolanda Watkins. But I’m not including Candice in this chapter.
Don’t worry about her. She’s a teeny tiny little character in the story, and she’s not even going to have a line. :P
Bette seems like the loneliest person in the world, looks like walking dead from your description AND has some illness hanging over her, lol. Tina, on the other hand, has it quite good – she has her friends, Bette’s friends, Bette’s family, her douchebag father is still in her life, she has a kid AND, as we found out from the last page, she even had a girlfriend all this time (lol, not that heartbroken after all). She really messed up Bette’s life big time.
Hmmm, I see your point. But Tina’s story and suffering have not been exposed entirely, and I believe that it’s not as good as you think right now.
Both of the parts suffered. And they will have to work extra hard to mend their broken hearts, and find a new way to get along.
I will continue with exploring the truth, and fixing things up for them.
Thank you for commenting and please read more.
I hope Bette and Tina can have another honest conversation. No one can blame Bette for her anger, but she still doesn’t know exaclty what happened and how Tina never really betrayed her. After all, she never did anything to harm her or acted with ill intentions once she got to know her. Amazing story, I’ll be looking forward to the next post!
Thank you very much for the support.
Bette, poor Bette, she just couldn’t move on. She is stubborn, and that stubbornness is causing her trouble, her suffering. It’s a mistake on her part. And she is going to make more mistakes.
But eventually, eventually, Bette could always get around. Just hope that when she does, it wouldn’t be too late for them to start anew.
I wish you can continue to enjoy my story. :)
