Round n Round We Go (Ch.18)
She clearly had something to say. I waited, with my back to her. “Who’s that Yolanda woman?” She asked, after a long silence.
I widened my eyes at her question. Of all the questions, brutal or not, she could ask me right then, she picked the topic of another completely unrelated, irrelevant person.
She must have known Yolanda, I was sure. Because through the whole adoption process, the social worker was in between the two of us. “Yolanda Watkins, the woman from the adoption legal consulting center.”
“Wait, is that the black gay woman?” Memory gradually came back to her and she asked with hostility.
I nodded.
“No, absolutely unacceptable!” She suddenly yelled. “You, you can’t let my son go out with that woman.”
“Why? Yolanda is a wonderful lady. She is Angelo’s friend, she is my friend.”
“Because I am his mother!”
“Nobody’s denying that, Bette. What is wrong with you?” I turned to look at her. And I saw her step closer, so I backed, until my back was against the wall, the violin was near my left shoulder.
She rubbed her temple with one hand, which was an indication that her headaches were back. “Because, she is black.”
“Woah, you did not just say that.” I couldn’t possibly fathom her sudden…what should I call it, her sudden racism.
“No, because she is black. You and her and Michelangelo. Ha! People aren’t gonna think you’re bffs or some of that bullshit. They look at ya and see a neat, biracial, lesbian family! And Michelangelo is gonna get used to it. He’s gonna forget about me. Is that what you want? Is that what you fucking want?”
So she was feeling threatened by Yolanda. But she shouldn’t be. Michelangelo knew her from he could remember, I told him wonderful things about her, cool things, he loved motorcycles, and classic music because of her, and I…even though she wouldn’t care, I’d gladly forget about whatever Yolanda and I had if she wanted me to.
Not hearing my response, she closed in on me, and her right fist made contact with the wall, inches from my left ear. As if the violin was afraid of her anger, it fell off from the wall, and its strings trembled as it dropped against the floor.
It startled me, and pained me so much, for her hand, for the instrument. I pushed her shoulders slightly and knelt down on the floor to check the violin.

This is the final chapter in the second part of my story.
It didn’t end up very nicely, I am aware.
But you know, there’s drama first, then better things will happen.
I am so ready to get started on the next part.
Have some faith. I will fix things in later chapters.
Thank you for reading and I look forward to your reviews.
And question: if I say that I am going back to write in third person perspective, what do you think?
I have faith in you, that things will be better.
That was a very powerful chapter, the hurt they both have, but there is still so much love.
I dont mind if you’re gonna write in third person.
I’m still worried about Bette’s illness, maybe it’s good she met that doctor.
Waiting patiently for the next update.
Thanks! I know this chapter is bittersweet, well more bitter than sweet. But thank you for having faith in me!
And I have posted another chapter. Hope you like the direction the story is going. It’s healing on its own.
Robyn,
Just another overwhelming chapter but it was so sad that they have to be apart again. The NC17 part took me back again to the most powerful scene in TLW – it was bitter sweet. I am sure that you’ll find a way to bring them back together.
Btw, the last part was intriguing.. will that woman heal Bette not just physically but emotionally as well? i want Bette to move on from pain but not move on from Tina.
Thanks for the update.

Yes, it was a powerful sex scene, the most powerful one I have to say, in the entire show.
Haha, you’ll find out how that Asian woman is.
Bette will be moving on from her grudge and pain. But she will definitely continue to struggle with her love for Tina.
Thank you for reviewing! Please continue to read my story! :)
Wow! So powerful, emotionally charged, sad, hurting. I shed a tear for them when they where last in Tina’s office. They need to grieve. They need to forgive not only each other but themselves. Can’t wait for the next part. Please bring back some happiness soon. Thank you for your gift of story to us!!!!
Thank you for commenting!
They are grieving, and they will get a hang of it. And there will be some incident that brings them back together and grieve together.
Hope you’ll continue to enjoy the story.
Both are in such pain. Thanks
Yes, they are in pain. But I promise to give them happiness after all they’ve been through.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Nice job!! Looking forward to the next segment.
Thanks! I have posted another chapter. Sorry if it’s been a long time.
That was powerful!
Thank you for reviewing. I was hoping for this kind of effect.
Bittersweet,but there is always hope.
Yes you are right. There is hope. And I hope that you will like how it eventually turns out for them.
Thank you for taking the time reading and commenting.
This is so sad and heartache to see them like this. Hope Tina will fly to Beijing and talk to Bette. Please post more, thanks
I’m not so sure Tina is going to fly to Beijing. She has obligations as a full time mother, plus her spirit is crushed when Bette says nothing and leaves. I think the brunette now holds the autonomy in this relationship.
Yay! New girl for Bette? Is Tina going to confess to her girlfriend that she cheated on her?
You’ll see how this new girl is like for Bette. And for Tina, hmmm, I doubt she will even bother to tell Yolanda about Bette. What she has with Yolanda doesn’t really compare to what she had with Bette, I believe.
Anyway, thank you for reviewing and I’ll keep it up.
This was powerful beyond measures, very intense and you could literally feel the tension by just reading the words. This sex scene brings you back to season 1 but way more intense. I had tears reading this chapter the office scene was very sad, hopefully they get it together for their sons, and wow who would of thought Tina and Yolanda very odd but I understand how that could make Bette even more jealous, despite the racial slur..I dont mind you writing in third person but hopefully a happy ending is coming soon but you right the drama has to build first and it did a hell of a job…poor Bette her heart always gets broken, ALWAYS no matter who story you reading smh
Oh thank you for saying so! I was counting on that when I wrote the sex scene. Maybe for some people it’s a bit too violent or intense, I don’t know. But I’m glad that also a lot of my readers liked it.
And about a happy ending, you know how it is! Happiness always comes last. And I know, Bette always gets hurt. That’s just very sad but I think big sad puppy eyes fit her just well lol.
Thank you for your support as always. And I’ll continue to fix things up for them.
WOW !! What can I say after a chapter like that … Sad, bitter, terrible, scary even but … I loved it !
Please post soon :-D
Hahaha I’m glad that you find it lovable.
I will manage to post regularly but seems it’s been some days.
Anyway, I hope you continue to enjoy and continue to review.
for me, this is the super best chapter ever! this story tells about the quote “love and hate are two horns on the same goat”. you love and you hurt so much and u never get enough. this story was so powerful, breath taking and painful. i love the way you described B&T’s POV that sometimes we can’t controlled our feeling.
Please post new chapter, Robyn. Thank you for amazing story.
Wow, you’re very kind. I was hoping for this kind of reaction when I wrote the story.
It is true that most of the times we tell ourselves what we should feel about certain things, but truth is, our heart won’t always listen.
Thank you for reading and reviewing. It means a lot that my readers sympathize with the characters and with me.
