Stand-alone 2
“Bette, did you love Candace very much?” Tina had asked, innocently enough.
“Sure. I guess I did at the time.” Bette had been equally innocent in her answer.
“And when she left, you said she left your heart frozen?”
“Yep. That’s what I felt at the time.” Bette hummed
while she brushed her hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom.
“And when you met me?”
“When I met you, you took me by surprise. And I fell
in love with you.” Bette looked at Tina from the bathroom doorway.
“What’s the matter baby? Why are you asking me this?”
“Maybe if you hadn’t met me and Candace had come back, you’d be with her?”
“If she came back? I don’t know… maybe… but…”
“Aha! I knew it!”
Bette felt the bottom fall out of her stomach. Did she say something wrong again?
“If Candace had come back, you’d be with her now instead of me.”
“Wait a minute…”
“She’s the love of your life! I’m just someone
interesting you met… someone who could be a subsitute for the love of
your life.”
“That’s crazy talk! Of course that’s not true! Tina?”
Tina had fallen quiet. She silently closed the
laptop and placed it at the foot of the bed. Then she pulled the covers
up, rolled on her side facing away from Bette, and pretended to sleep.
Bette quickly padded to Tina’s side and knelt in front of her.
“You know that’s not true. Tina, I love you. Now. Always.”
“I know Bette. I’m just being silly. Go to sleep.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. After all, that’s in the past. Didn’t you say,
what’s past remains in the past? You don’t ask me about my past lovers,
so I shouldn’t ask you about yours.”
“Uh… okay… I guess that’s fair…”
“I’m really tired. Would you mind if I went to sleep now?”
“No, of course not.” Bette got to her feet and
walked around the bed to her side. She slid under the covers behind
Tina. When she tried to spoon Tina, Tina was so stiff that Bette
actually felt like she was hugging a piece of wood.
******
So that morning, Bette felt like she was treading in
shark-infested waters. In between Alice’s insufferably teasing
expression and Tina’s closed off mask of curiosity, Bette felt her
heart start to pound. She imagined exploding in a fit of paranoia
and screaming ‘what do you want from me?!!’

that was close one…whew…i hate candyass already and we’ve never even met her in this story LOL…excellent update as always…the girls almost ruined it for B&T though, i think Bette needs to have serious talk with Alice soon
Another good story 7PM. As the others say I will read anything and everything you write. Keep writing!
Good story. You know you can write any story you want about these 2 and I love to read it. Ok let see the another one coming, thanks!
7 Iam not a happy bunny THE END did you not mean TBC, PLEASE Oh PLEASE TBC I love this stoy
I dislike someone saying.I”ll think about it,that means NO Are if someone will I’m no sure that is a maybe. Love Bette in this,Alice always has her foot in her mouth.. thanks
When I read ‘Candace’ in the first couple sentences I had to regroup. Then I remembered that she is an integral PAST part of your B&T story. …all is well…Thanks, and keep up the stand-alones. They help me bridge the gap from your delightful first story to your next wonderful one. (no pressure, I’m sure!)
ditto on hansen’s comment. keep trying. keep writing. I’ll be reading.
Al sure has a way of messin’ with Bette. She always puts her foot in her mouth, but Bette’s always the one having to explain or regroup afterwards. Tina’s upset with Bette’s past relationship with Candance — thought she agreed to leave the past in the past? Tina’s not playing fair…but then again “all’s fair in love and war.” Please continue.
Man! *Exasperated sigh* your storied are so good that I want them to go on and on and never end! MOORRREEE!!! Please?
Incredibly GREAT!
heyyyyyyyy.i’m first! LOL.. as interesting as ever..amazing!
I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when Bette explained what the tickets were for. I’m glad they’re not rushing into it though as they both probably still have a ways to go before doing the forever thing. Can’t wait for the next installment!
“… but the girls were all psychically impaired.” LOL
I’m not really crazy about this story, but your writing is excellent and so is the idea behind these stand alone. What I don’t like is Bettes past with “The fucking carpenter” LOL and Tina is not very nice in this…poor Bette. But please continue and post soon – thanks.
Ha! never trust women. when they say ‘yes’, ‘it’s ok’ or something like that, it always means not ok. But it’s so cute, heehee.I love the short story, so sweet, thanks.
7 you can write about these 2 any time and I’ll love it I’m sure. I love your Bette.
You had me worried for a bit, but left me grinning like a loon! Thanks
