"So…how long has it been going on?"
"Just this past week. I kissed her at the SheBar opening" Bette confessed.
"Bette…just promise me this isn’t all because you’re jealous of Tina and Brenda"
"No, no, well yes I was jealous, but this is so much more than that. This is way beyond sex, it goes deeper than anything I’ve ever had with anyone else. Noone else even comes close to her"
The younger woman sighed in relief. For her part, she wasn’t willing to sit by and watch her closest friends tear each other apart again "And how does Tina feel?"
"We haven’t really talked about it…"
"Bette…"
"I know, I know. It’s just everytime I see her, I can’t control myself"
"Are you not worried that maybe she thinks this is just about sex for you? After all you’re the one with the girlfriend, and as far as everyone knows, you’re still with her"
"I told her I loved her today"
"Well that’s a start. But what about Jodi?"
Bette just looked down at her glass.
"Bette, you are going to leave her aren’t you?"
"I’m just so scared. I put all of this pressure onto Jodi to be in an exclusive relationship with me when she doesn’t really believe in monogamy. And believe me, she has a temper on her. And more than that, I’m afraid of being a failure. Here she goes again, Bette Porter ruining another relationship. I’m cheating again, only this time it’s with Tina instead of on her. What if that’s just who I am?"
"You don’t think I know that feeling? Don’t blow your chance with Tina like I did with Carmen. Answer me this, who do you want to be with?"
"Tina" Bette responded immediately.
"Then be with her Bette, it really is that simple"
"I just don’t think I could live with myself if I hurt her again"
"And you don’t think she’s hurting right now? As far as she’s concerned you’re still with Jodi and have no intention of leaving her. You don’t think it hurts her to imagine that after you’ve shared her bed you’re going straight back to your girlfriend?"
"But I’m not, I haven’t been with Jodi like that since this whole affair started. It sounds crazy, but I’d feel like I was cheating on Tina"
"But does Tina know that?"
Bette shook her head "I guess not. But what if I screw this up Shane? And it’s not just me and T to think about, there’s Angie as well"
"Only you can control that, Bette. Forget about what you’ve done in the past, this is your chance to put things right. If you don’t want to hurt her again, don’t! If you truly love her, then you have it in you to make it work"
"I do Shane, I love her with everything that I am"
"Then there’s your answer. Make it work"

i like the conversation between Bette and Shane..there is no hesitation on Bette’s part that she wants Tina..she just doesn’t want to be a failure in relationships..
Shane as always, the voice of reason. Hope Bette listens to her and makes the right moves. It will be difficult to get away from jodi and get her out of her life, but that is the chance they both took. Besides, jodi doesn’t really care that much, she goes out on dates while still being with Bette, she doesn’t like Angie, so this shouldn’t be a great surprise to her and I don’t think she will let it bother her one bit. She is an evil little bitch so let’s hope she doesn’t give Bette any grief over this. Thanks for posting.
Wise Yoda…I hope Bette listens to her advice. Bette needs to grow a pair so we can avoid the messy breakup and Jodi’s revenge at the Hammer.
i love wise shane, even though she might be coming from her own experiences but what she said it’s so true…if you love someone, say it and do everything possible to be with the one you love…another great update
Bette needs to put her big girl panties on and tell Jodi. I never understood why it took a whole episode on TLW for Bette to tell Jodi to take a hike. She spent half the show making out w/Jodi and sending her mixed messages through the crappy dialogue that the writers provided. How the actors kept that together, I’ll never know!
You know, life is so sad sometimes! To be in love with the woman who you know is the love of your life but at the same time you are trapped in another relationship that because of the circumstances you can’ t let go! Anyway, another great chapter BB. Thank you very much.
That Shane sure is wise. I really hope Bette takes her advice. She isn’t being fair to herself, Jodi or Tina by staying with Jodi when she doesn’t love her.
Bette,now is the time-make it work.Great story,thank you.
Aaah the bathroom of the Planet… Classic. I can’t believe how many things this place has seen^^ especially in fanfix. I’m glad B told Shane, thanks for posting. Oh and my favorite line of this chapter “I know, I know. It’s just everytime I see her, I can’t control myself” loooool
Thank God for Shane. Please don´t turn this into another IC nightmare. Thanks for a great story.
Poor B&T, Shane is good and hope Bette will listen to her and work thing out with Tina!
