Round n Round We Go (Ch.18)
I learned the words. It was inevitable. You stay in a certain language environment long enough, you gradually understand what people say. Right now, I hated that I knew the words.
“风停了云知道,爱走了心自然明了
(The cloud knows the wind has stopped, the heart knows when love wears out)
它来时躲不掉,它走得静悄悄
(As it comes, you can do nothing about, and when it goes, never speaks aloud)
你不在我预料,扰乱我平静的步调
(You appeared all of a sudden, a pebble rippled my anticipation)
怕爱了找苦恼,怕不爱睡不着
(I’m afraid to love makes me sullen, yet not to love leaves me repent)…”
She sang in a low and excruciating voice. Under the influence of alcohol, I let myself remember how Tina Kennard entered my life, the little pebble that disturbed the lake in my heart. Pain came in waves, washing through me, high and low, strong and soft, again and again threatening to tear me apart.
“我飘啊飘,你摇啊摇,无根的野草
(I sway and watch you drift, like a straw without roots)
当梦醒了,天晴了,如何再飘渺
(Dreams never came true, sky turned pale blue, and how do I continue)
爱多一秒,恨不会少,承诺是煎熬
(Love lasts a second longer, but hate cannot reduce, pain sinks in every truth)
若不计较,就一次痛快燃烧
(There will be no bother, if I lie in despair with wild fire dancing on my tomb)”
Enough! I hated the song. It made me realize how vulnerable I was. “Stop it! Stop singing that fucking song!” I sprung out of the woman’s arms and yelled to the singer. I threw my fist at the drum next to the girl and with a loud splash, I smashed the damn thing. Losing my balance, I fell on my side, and curled up into a ball. Physical pain was a good distraction for me.
My dancing partner quickly arrived at my side and knelt down. She was nervous and asked me with her thick accent. “Are you okay?”
“Go away.”
“I’m a doctor. Talk to me.” She tried to adjust my position.
I shrugged her hand off and supported myself from the floor. I threw a blank check to the bartender and walked out of the place.
The woman followed me. She called a taxi for me and sat in with me. I let her give whatever address to the driver and slept through the ride.
She woke me up, at the lobby of a hotel, and checked in for the both of us. I didn’t care.
In the hotel room, I peeled my clothes off, and looked into the mirror to find the left side of my body was partially bruised because of the previous fall.
The doctor lady examined me. She asked, “You’re injured pretty bad. Where does it hurt?”
I gave her a drunken, distressed smile. “Everywhere.”

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.
