"Bette, come on." Shane said taking her friend’s arm to slow her down and talk about what was really bothering her. Bette looked up slowly to see Shane’s concerned eyes trying to free Bette from her self imposed chains. "It’s alright. Come have dinner with me."
"It’s almost 3 o’clock in the morning Shane."
"Well then have breakfast with me?"
"Gladly." Bette and Shane got in her car and drove over to the one diner they always visited after a long night out with the girls.
They took the booth in back as usual. Both didn’t bother to look at the menu knowing already what they both wanted. They wanted to wait until the waitress was finished pouring their coffee and taking their orders to talk. The silence was thick but never uncomfortable. Bette began stirring her cream in her coffee when the thought plaguing her mind came to her voice.
"I haven’t been here since Toya." she smiled and looked down at her hand steady in it’s movements with the spoon while the other nervously spun the cup with her thumb and middle finger.
"Is this where she?" Shane let her sentence trail off as she saw Bette still looking down nod her head as her answer. "I’m sorry sweetie, we can leave right now." Shane said trying to get the waitress’ attention.
"No, no, Shane it’s alright. We can stay I’m fine really. I wanna sit here it’s quiet in here, it’s what I need."
"You’re sure?"
"Yes absolutely." Bette said as her friend slumped back down in her seat and continued to let her mind run free waiting for her troubled friend to confide in her.
While Shane was sitting back with her feet up Bette spoke suddenly, but she didn’t catch what was said.
"I’m sorry."
"She knew."
"Who knew what?"
"Toya knew that I was in love with Tina. Before I even knew it. That’s the real reason why we broke up."
……………………………..
Bette drove in a panic to the restaurant. Her mind was running a mile a minute. All the negatives things that seemed to play in her mind kept halting the positive she wanted to be true. Seeing as how this was a late Wednesday night the restaurant was relatively empty. She immediately saw Toya sitting with her back to the front door. By the way she was sitting she could tell that her girlfriend was uneasy about something. It wasn’t until she turned around the counter did she that not only had she been crying but she was also sitting with her luggage beside her.

Tina should know but if Bette is the one to tell her I hope she believes her.
I still don’t think Bette should be the one to tell Tina about Justine (paging Shane McCutcheon, Shane McCutcheon), but she SHOULD tell her about how she feels. And she definitely should stop acting all weird with Tina. Best of luck on the job front. Sounds like you should make your exit from the present one ASAP. Good luck with the car, too. Hang in there girl. I can’t explain it (fairy godmother?) but when things have been most dire for me, shit just worked out. Once over a month behind on the rent, found hundred dollar bills on the street. Lying in bed in a diabetic coma with an hour or two left, co-workers located my brother just as he was leaving to do the laundry. No really, no shit. So hang on.
I hope it is not Bette that tell’s Tina. Bette just needs to be there for Tina when she does find out. Great Update!!!! Thank you PPS
OK… I think this is where my comment is supposed to be… so here goes… My goodness this chapter is so touching! I could feel Bette’s pain, angst, love, lust, longing… *sigh* My poor Bette. Tina, open your eyes, sweetheart! You’re going to miss out on true love and your soulmate. I can understand that Bette is in a quite precarious situation with her cousin or whatever she is… but, the girl is a liar and a cheat. In my opinion, she doesn’t deserve loyalty. Obviously she doesn’t love Tina the way she should, IF she loves her at all. Looks to me as if she simply likes to have a trophy at home… all polished, pretty and waiting for her to come home… and a few trinkets to play with whenever the mood suits her. I find her character a bit disgusting. I hope Tina doesn’t marry her. I doubt what’s-her-name would even be hurt very much. Maybe her pride would suffer a blow or two, but certainly not her heart. And anyway, I wouldn’t give a rat’s @ss if she was hurt. She won’t get any sympathy from me. I love this stroy. The feelings I’m experiencing while reading this, are a tad intense, to say the least. You’re doing great with it. Keep it up, please. Hopefully, Tina and Bette will find each other despite the drama that I am sure will ensue. Please, post soon. This is like a good book that you simply hate to put down. Thanks!
bette cant b the one to tell tina longer can u work that in the story
wow, i thought nobody but bette knew but shane always knows…great chapter, i think bette should tell tina
Ditto Emae29’s comments. Wonderful story. Excellent writing. PPS!
Tina does need to know but it should come from someone else and not Bette. Maybe set a trap so that Tina catches Justine with another woman and that way Tina catchers her red handed.
I agree with funnyone…I have been there done that and it is so not pretty…the messenger always gets shot in the azz. I was waiting for Tina to walk into the diner while her and Shane were talking…lol. I am sorry you are going thru all that sh*t. Were do you work that your co-workers are dropping like flies? This is a crazy crazy world. I hope things start looking up for you real soon.
Yeah Im with funnyone and hope my poor Bette not sad anymore. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Ouch…Please post again soon!
Hey girl I’ve just caught up and love this story. I like how Bette is so thought driven. I’m all crossed up for you and believe it will work. Good luck.
