Something so right – chapter 76
“Of course “ Bette smiled “Anything “
Just as Bette stood up again Helena’s mobile sounded
“Excuse me – I must take this – its Peggy “
Shane stood up “ I need the bathroom – won’t be long – can you order me a black coffee Bette ?”
“Of course – does anyone else want anything ?”
“No thanks “ Alice spoke – she had been looking at Tina for a few minutes. Left alone Tina smiled
“Can you believe Shane sharing a house with Finn ?”
“Its as unlikely as Bette proposing and you saying no “
Tina looked at Alice “ You are pissed “
“I am – I never thought she would feel safe enough ever to ask a woman “
“She feels safe with me – is that not a good thing ?”
“Not when you said no – how could you ?”
Tina sighed “Its not right for me “
“If I may say so – that’s selfish “
Tina was feeling weak but not weak enough as to be intimated by Alice – she glanced round and faced Bette’s oldest friend
“Alice – I say this with all the respect in the world – its got fuck all to do with you “
“I pick up the pieces “
“No Alice – I pick up the pieces because I might not want to marry Bette but not for a second have I considered that I will not spend the rest of my life with her. This is between Bette and I and I assure you that we are working hard on it. We are going to talk it through – no hysterical reactions – just the two of us sitting together and discussing what we want. I know her feelings and I assure you Alice that whatever we decide on it will be something that is right for both of us. Bette and I might be too immature in some ways but we are adult enough to realise that our relationship will only work if we compromise. And that’s what the two of us both intend to do “
Alice glared at Tina
“You don’t understand what it took for her to even consider asking you “

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).
