Soul Mates – Chapter 7
Helena’s eyebrows knitted together in confusion as she looked at the seriousness in Bette’s face. She looked back to Tina who still hadn’t taken her eyes off the brunette in front of them. The blonde was beyond shocked, Bette was in love with her? She knew the fact was true before when they were married and even since coming back Tina knew that there were still lingering feelings but to hear Bette so openly declare her love, Tina found herself unable to look away. She couldn’t even voice her own feelings, she was completely stunned.
Helena was completely baffled at the intense gaze the two women were giving each other especially when she thought they were supposed to be related, "Is she a second cousin?"
Bette snorted at the earlier role she took on as Tina didn’t even bother to interpret what Helena had meant. She and Bette looked into each others eyes as she felt Helena’s boring into her.
"She’s my wife"
Bette swallowed, never taking her eyes off Tina. She hadn’t heard Tina use that title in so long, she couldn’t even begin to understand how it felt to hear it again. Tina also felt something from referring to Bette in that way, in such a formal yet possessive way. It was a freeing type of feeling, it felt good to say the least.
Helena however, was far from feeling the same. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Tina in disbelief and admittedly even a little disgusted.
"You married your cousin?!"
Tina swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat when she suddenly remembered the divorce papers she mailed out the day before.
"I mean my ex-wife . . I came down here to finalize my divorce" She said sadly, her heart breaking when she saw the look on Bette’s face.
Why did she even say that? It was true yes but did she want Bette to be her ex?
"Oh like that’s supposed to make everything better! You married your cousin for Christ sake! Jesus, Tina what were you thinking?!"
"Is everythin’ alright here?" Paul had noticed the commotion not to mention Helena’s loud outburst and decided to walk over with hopes of making peace amongst the women. He had no idea who the nicely dressed brunette was but he could only guess.

Should’ve driven to that secluded area and proceeded with Plan A Bette. The secret for some good drama is bad decision making. Great story telling Liah, loving it 😍 thank you 😘
Wow! That was some chapter! My heart is still beating furiously in my chest. Humans sure know how to complicate life and love. Just goes to show you that you have to love your self first before you can love another. Ugh! Bette…
My heart feels like it’s being squeezed.
Loving this story. Looking forward to your next post.
Can’t say you didn’t warn us. Tina, dear, remember that Bette has been drowning her sorrows and might not have a grip on her words and thoughts right now? Good update, but dang, that’s two in a row that make the happy ending look a little remote. Next?
(OK, really, what’s with the backslashes?!?! What does this comment thingy have against the use of contractions?!)
Damn Katherine and her interfering, which still never seems to end. A lot of this heartache seems to stem from both Tina and Bette’s inability to tell each other what they’re feeling. Bette at least admitted that she’s still in love with her apparently soon-to-be ex-wife… Tina couldn’t even let Bette know she’s not her “backup” choice. Oh well. Maybe Tina will find her missing backbone when she gets back to New York. Thanks for posting. :)
Hi! This is now my third comment… and all I’m gonna say, is that I borrowed the movie S.H.A. from a friend at work, and um… watched (endured) it. And… all I can say, is that you’ve taken a movie that was… not so great (dreadful… REALLY dreadful) and made a really cohesive, engaging story out of it. I vastly, VASTLY prefer your version. Even if Tina is currently annoying me. ;P Seriously, keep up the good work. I look for this every day and I’ll be sorry to see it end. Cheers! :D
Ur breakn my heart here. Plz fix it. Love ur story. Pps
Just caught up with this. Have to say sweet home.alabama is also one of my favourite films and am loving your twist on it… Thanks for the update
OK, I’m back for a third comment, too – although my second doesn’t really count, since it was a gripe about technical issues :-). To be honest, I had to kind of skim the story the first time, so now I can add: CRIKEY, Tina, get a grip. Minutes ago you were calling her your ex-wife, and now you’re stunned that she is (reluctantly) asking you to leave? Sheesh. I’d say Bette deserves better, but of course I want a happy Tibette ending. So I will just trust that Tina has some self-revelations coming. ;-) (You know you’re writing an engaging story when we’re all hollerin’ at the characters like this.)
Great update although a bit sad. I agree totally with jp22 on both her comments. However, I think Bette should have told Tina what she was feeling and why and Tina should have told Bette that she was not second choice and she should have told helena at the park that she was not going to marry her and gave the ring back. Tina never should have mentioned the ex-factor in front of Bette, that was just the wrong move entirely. Can hardly wait to see how you fix this can of worms. And katherine needs to keep her damned mouth shut it is not her life. Thanks for posting.
Argh!! 2 mules!! Two beautiful stubborn mules!!! Great update Liah! Powerful chapter to portray their states, and boy! I can only say that they are simply 2 mules!! If only they are more open and communicate openly. Argh!! :-( so frustated! … So when is the next one!? :-D PPVS??? :-)
That was such a sad update and so heart breaking. You’ll make it better i know. Thank you for this story.
Ok upset at the outcome of that chapter I hope the next one will be more pleasant. Because I can’t take much heartbreak and neither can Bette or Tina. I am confused at the fact Helena still wants to marry Tina. Seems so far fetched to her earlier behaviour.
Please fix this,sooo sad.Thank you for the update,great story.
I just re-read the chapter, and the way Tina has acted is just so frustrating! Bette might have been a bit stoic, but how many times is Tina going to hurt her without explaining her actions? Tina’s pretty damned selfish. Bette’s been trying to conquer the world to get Tina back? Bette deserves a lot better than what Tina’s given her so far. This will be another time Tina has left without a second glance back. I hope the happy ending is something Tina really earns, because she has an absolute *shitload* of making up to do. Argh! Right, rant over. :P …Um, pps! Lol
Looking foreward to how you going to clean up this mess. I really needed some minutes before I could type this comment.
Oh come on! You’re killing me here!!! Ahhh PPS! Lol
