“I know that you do — maybe we should concentrate on that for now “
“What about the m word ?”
“Its not right for you “
“But you do still want to get married ?”
Bette sighed and let out a long life time length of a sigh
“Yes- yes I want to marry you “
“Do you still have the ring you bought me ?”
“Yes “
Tina smiled “ How about we exchange that — the ring “
She thought back only a few days to the night of the opening of the show
“The ring – I have only ever seen a ring like that in our prop department and it’s a fake. I knew there was nothing fake about it “
“Too much ?” Bette smiled
“Over the top” Tina said smiling back “ Would you care to admit how much it cost ?”
“The truth ?”
Tina nodded
“$5000 – I know what you are going to say – I have heard it from everyone – but I figured you were hopefully going to wear it for the rest of your life – it may as well be a good one “
Tina touched Bette’s face
“How about we take it back and we buy one another a simple plain ring – would you wear my ring Bette ?”
Bette searched Tina’s face for reassurance
“You mean it – you are not just saying this to appease me ?”
“No – there is still a lot to work on – for us to talk about but when the dust settles why don’t we exchange rings “
“Are you sure ?”
“Certain – B – you are the only one for me – I don’t want anyone else – why the hell would I? I would be honoured if I wore your ring every day and I would be just as honoured if you wore mine “
This time the tears were Bette’s – she hugged Tina
“You want this ?”
“Very much – it might stop your fan club from hitting onto you – mind you – if you had your forehead tattooed with “ property of Tina Kennard “ you would still attract them like bees round a honey pot “
“And we buy a house ?”
“We start house hunting as soon as possible – lets try and pick a place out in time for our first anniversary – that would be wonderful and it would be the end of the most perfect year”
Bette smiled through her tears “ Yes “

Good for Tina standing up to Alice, but it upsets me that she had to. I admire a loyal friend, but not only is Alice injecting herself into a situation where she does not belong, she was very callous to treat someone who is still recovering from a serious health issue that way. Please don’t make Alice so unlikable.
Hello AllyE. I have finally managed to catch up with your marvelous melodrama. I just adore how Tina talked things through to a point with her mom. They have to communicate first and then start rebuilding their relationship. It was so sweet that Bette and Tina are going to exchange rings. It is really a commitment ceremony as they are pledging to stay together and be there for each other through eternity. A half way house to marriage as it is not legally recognized. Life is so much more enjoyable when these gals are together. Right on the Tee for defending her position and telling Alice to Step-Off. Perfection. MAny thanks for this goregous tale. I just love it all. Your Loyal Fan.
Tina needs to take it easy, with her health… You know, Alice really isn’t that vicious. Yeah, she could make talking an Olympic sport, she’s someone that can’t keep a secret, and butts in a lot, but really, she’s kind and very loyal, and is quite capable of telling people what they need to be told, at times. Tina’s power tripping over the hold she has on Bette is way over the top. What’s she threatening Alice for? Telling Alice to butt out, yes, fair enough. But threatening to get Bette to withdraw her friendship… no. Anyway, Tina’s come up with a really good compromise, re: the rings… Hopefully with that and the house, Bette feels more secure. Thanks for the post.
i think overstepped her the line with tina. it was okay to express her concern but then leave tina to it!! nice compromise at least both are happy and tina needs to take it easy! :)PPS
Now isn’t that the perfect solution? I love how Tina’s prety mind thinks. :)
Well at least Bette is trying to understand…Tina’s idea was perfect! What do we do about Alice??!!
Wow – great chapter! They communicated and came to a compromise – wow imagine that – I wish the show would of been a little more like this. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for these two – can they really keep this open and honest relationship up? I hope so. Can’t wait to read more – PPS
wonderful update, ally! i appreciate Alice’s loyalty but she has to learn when to back off. love feisty Tina but maybe the “power I have over her” comment was a little too much. but then again, we have to remember how poorly Tina is right now (and how stubborn Alice can be! lol) The rings and the house are a perfect compromise at this point.
Finally Tina tells Alice off, Wow Tina is just the best for Bette sweet chptr
So glad that Tina told Alice to “f” off, because she is far too involved in their lives for comfort. Also happy they reached a compromise on the “M” word. And of all people to make sense to Tina about marriage, her mother. I don’t think much of her mother but she does rate an A for this effort. Thanks for posting AllyE. Post when you can.
Alice is out of line but IMO, Bette is lucky to have her as a friend.
Compromise, that’s a good thing. Alice needs to chill out, but I also understand that Bette is her best friend. She wants to make sure that Bette is not hurting. PPS
Lovely update as always. Thank you.
I’m shocked that Bette agreed to returning Tina’s ring. Great that they came to a compromise, but it just seems like Tina is geeting her way. I think Bette is still reeling from Tina being in the hospital, but what happens when Tina is better and Bette starts wanting to marry her again? PPS!
“if the show made sense I changed channels”–so did Tina end up watching the l word all night then? Hehe
yes! tina rulz!!!
Yay!! Finally they came to some sort of a compromise! and I love how Tina put Alice in her place! PPS:)
That was great they talk and work thing out, love it. Please post more, thanks!
It’s GREAT to see this personal growth in Tina. I love how she finally put Alice in her place, talked to her mother, and soften her stance on her rift with Bette. PPS:o).
