Tina poked her head out. Bette’s eyes got big.
“I’m almost done. Want to order some food?”
“Yeah. I’ll take care of it.” Bette scurried away.
Tina smiled.
Bette was tipping the pizza delivery guy when Tina showed up wearing joggers and a tank top.
“I hope this is okay. I found a menu in the drawer.”
“This is great. You’ll love it. The crust is so good.”
Tina grabbed a bottle of wine and a couple of glasses. Bette grabbed a couple of plates. Tina lifted the wine bottle. Bette nodded. They sat on the floor in the living room. Bette opened the box and the pizza was a work of art. It had pesto sauce, roasted eggplant, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, red onions, Feta, mozzarella, capers, pine nuts and avocado.
Bette closed her eyes as all of the flavors burst in her mouth. Bette opened her eyes to find Tina watching her intently. She took a sip of wine.
“Like it?”
“It’s really good.”
Tina smiled.
“Umm. So, I go home tomorrow and I’d like to get some clarity on a couple of things.”
“Okay,” Tina looked nervous.
”Why did you look so sad this afternoon at lunch?”
Tina blew out all of the air in her lungs.
”Because of the way you were with AJ. It was so natural. I was imagining AJ was our son and I got overwhelmed.”
Bette nodded.
“Why did you leave?” Bette asked jumping right to the core of the issue.
Bette looked at Tina. Tina took a long swig of her wine. She couldn’t hide from this. It was time.
“I lost our son and I thought you were going to leave me. So, I left you first.”
Bette’s eyes were the size of saucers. She was frankly flabbergasted.
“You thought so little of me and my love for you that you created this whole scenario in your head and didn’t give me the opportunity to help us through it…to…to love you through it?”
“No. That’s not it. I…”
“Then I don’t understand, Tina. You knew I loved you with all of me. You knew you had my whole heart. You knew you were my world. Why leave and destroy everything we’d built?”
“I…I had to.”
“So, again, you thought so little of me?”

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.
