"Toy." Bette said nervously. And instead of the usual warm smile she shot her, the one she gave was tear stained and nervous.
"Sit, please." Bette sat across from her and she attempted to take her hand to comfort her. But Toya pulled away from her, she could see the tissue she had been clinging to all night long.
"Baby…"
"I’m gonna talk and I don’t want you to say anything until I’m finished. Please at least give me that much." Toya cut through Bette’s sentence. Bette’s hands retreated into her lap as she nodded her understanding of Toya’s request.
"For a long time I thought it was just me. Maybe if I changed into something you wanted you could see me instead of Tina in you heart’s eye. But I guess I was wrong." she finished with a chuckle and a quick wipe of her nose. "You don’t love me, I can see that now. I’ve tried re-inventing myself for you for the last time. I can’t do it anymore. I’m not her, and I’ll never be her, and who ever you end up with will never be what you want unless it’s Tina."
"Toy…" Bette said with a breaking voice.
"Please don’t. Don’t… Don’t tell me you love me when I can feel that it’s not true. You’re fixing your heart and mouth to lie to me."
The only sound Bette could hear was the pounding of her heart. The rhythmic thud was speeding up and she couldn’t comprehend the moment at all. The clanging of the restaurants help was completely mute to her. With her eyes fixed on the coffee cup in front of her, she felt the stings of tears forming. It wasn’t until Toya spoke again that she lifted her eyes to meet hers.
"I don’t know, maybe you do love me. But I deserve a love like the one you want to give Tina. That unconditional, understanding, enduring all type of love. And I can’t pretend to be content without it."
Although a million words were racing through Bette’s mind she couldn’t understand why her heart was agreeing with Toya completely. Out the corner of her eye she saw headlights flash twice. With that signal Toya stood up and kissed Bette softly on the lips and wiped the tears escaping her eye. The last thing Bette felt was the final touches of her lover’s fingers on her cheek and the only thing she could hear was the snapping of her heels on the tile floor, the ding of the doorbell. And like that she was gone.

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.
Nice chapter! Post soon…
