Bette raised her eyebrows as a question.
“You said we had sex in the hotel. Was that all it was to you? Sex?”
Bette just looked at her.
Is she fucking serious right now, Bette thought.
“If all I wanted was sex, Tina, I could hook up with some random twink to satisfy that urge. There are plenty waiting in the wings,” Bette emphasized plenty.
“Have you?”
“Have I what?”
“Hooked up with some random twink.”
“What! Are you serious right now?”
Tina didn’t say anything. Bette rolled her eyes.
“No, I have not.”
Bette was indignant. Relief flashed across Tina’s face. Bette couldn’t believe Tina actually thought she’d been sleeping around.
“Unlike you, Tina, I haven’t been flirting with DP’s or going on dates or running away from my life,” Bette huffed.
“You’re right.”
Bette exhaled.
“Look. It’s getting late. 3:30 is going to come awfully early. You ready?”
“I’m ready whenever you are.”
Tina wasn’t talking about leaving the festival. Bette understood her meaning. They rode in silence back to the apartment. Remnants of the kiss lingering on both of their lips.
Bette leaned her head on the back of the seat and checked in with her emotions. It was a quiet, brutal car ride back to the apartment.
***
Talk to her, Bette heard Kit say.
Bette walked the short distance down the hall and knocked on the door. No answer. She peeked inside and Tina wasn’t there. She saw the Fawn print and the rabbit she got her one Valentine’s Day on the nightstand. The room was just as she left it this morning.
Bette knocked on the bathroom door. It was slightly cracked. No answer but she heard the shower running. She knocked harder.
“Baby?”
“Umm, sorry to both you.”
“What?” Tina said loudly.
Bette opened the door wider and stepped just inside.
“Sorry to bother you.”
“Everything okay?” Tina said loudly.
“Can we talk when you’re done?”
“What?”
Bette took another step in. The curtain wasn’t closed all of the way and she could see the creaminess of Tina’s skin and the water running down the side of her breast. Bette cleared her throat.
“I said, can we talk when you’re done?”
“Okay. Yeah. Sure,” Tina said.
Bette took another look at the side of Tina’s breast.

Wow wow wow!!!! What a chapter!!!!
It started out so positive and gave me hope, hope that thanks to this day they were one step closer to rebuilding their relationship but by the end of the chapter I was in tears and I could literally feel the pain of Bette in particular. She was harsh in her words but it was really what Tina needed to hear, the hard cold truth what her behavior and leaving Bette did. Bette’s words that Tina loves her but doesn’t feel that, ouch!!!
Tina seemed to understand what her leaving Bette had done before this talk but she didn’t seem to feel the real impact, what it did to Bette emotionally.
How can you tell someone that you are leaving her because they loved you too much. I sincerely hope that Tina finally understands that saying sorry and I love you is not enough but that she needs to show it in action.
And I fell in love with AJ, what an incredibly cute and sweet kid, love at first sight between him and Bette. Tina is only now realizing how good a mother Bette can be, although she already knew that from the flashback she had earlier. But that she didn’t see herself that Bette also had a lot of grief and pain after the miscarriage and only realized that after Kit and Alice told her, I can somewhat understand because she had the miscarriage but it was also Bette’s baby, it feels a bit double, I think Tina, as she says herself, is a spoiled brat that took Bette for granted, at a certain point she didn’t even see the small things that Bette did for her and their relationship.
I notice that I find it difficult to like this Tina. She’s trying really hard and I hope she really knows how to win Bette back, but you can try too hard. She has to give Bette time and space and stay in therapy because she really has to learn that not everything goes the way she wants.
I am a Tibetter at heart, so I fervently hope that they will find their way back to each other.
I am a big fan of this story, hope to read another chapter soon!!!
Thank you so much. I’m glad you’re a big fan. It’s been fun to write and to really explore both of their points of view. Don’t give up on Tina just yet. I think she may surprise you in the coming chapters.
Yes, it did start out positive. But relationships are messy. Especially when you have a love like Bette and Tina. It gets a little messy. And they are in the crux of the mess.
Isn’t AJ the best. So sweet. I love the relationship between Bette and AJ. So important to see Bette so gentle and loving.
They are going to have to talk about Bette’s grief before they can move forward. And that’s gonna be a doozy!
Thanks for reading!
Damn, Im crying now. Okay, damn you Tina, you broke your forever love. You better buy a gallon of superglue and get to sticking!What a great chapter! I can’t read it again tonight. PPS
Lol. A gallon of superglue. Yes. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.
WOW what a great Chapter, thank you.
SG
