The Journey 17
Bette : “I might grab a coffee, you want one ?” I start to get up, I am stalling. I don’t want her to go. I see her looking at her watch. I refuse to blow the candle out, like it is a beacon of hope.
Tina : “Ah, no, think I’ll pass, it’s getting late.” I start to follow Bette inside. It’s
Bette : I wordlessly pour Tina a sparkling water and put some ice and lime in the glass.
Tina : “I see you put some of the art work back up, oh and a couple of new ones too, down here” I walked over to the one of the new ones. I look at Bette, who still has her back to me. I call out. “Bette, do you mind ?”
Bette : “No, of course not Tina, please.”
Tina : I bend down and pick up one of the pictures and put it on the table. I study it closely. ‘Oh I don’t know this artist” I call out, Bette is making her way in. The thing was I could always read Bette and it seems I still can. For a split second I see the look on Bette’s face.
Bette : I gather myself. “Yeah, Tee, I don’t know them either. It just appealed to me” I lie. I try to direct Tina to the ones I bought this morning. Tina won’t budge. I’d forgotten how determined she can be. It felt good to remember that.
Tina : “what do you see when look at it ?” I continued to look at this painting. I knew without a doubt Bette had painted it. I was looking really at a chronology of Bette’s feelings and travels. I bet her choice of place to visit reflected her feelings. I knew there would be more paintings. I had second thoughts, perhaps I was pushing too hard too soon.
Bette : I knew Tina had figured it out. I measured my words carefully, is this my opportunity to tell Tina how I really feel “When I look at it, I see many things, but I guess what it leaves me with is an overwhelming sense of hope”
Tina : “Hope” I repeat. I finish my drink. “Well, I suppose I should get going”
Bette : “I have a suggestion. As you may remember..” I smile at Tina trying to charm her. “we missed family night on Thursday night. I wonder if we might do it tomorrow afternoon instead ?”
Tina : “Oh, Bette. I would but I can’t, I’m sorry.”
Bette : “It’s OK, I shouldn’t have presumed.”
Tina : “No, Bette, really it’s OK. What about Monday night instead ?”
Bette : Good, now I will get to see Tina Mon, Tues and Thurs night. “Sure, that would be great.”
Tina : “Right, well then. I’ll give you a call on Monday then.” I make a split second decision. I lean forward and kiss Bette on the cheek, I cup my hand under her chin “Welcome home Bette. Happy anniversary” I look right into those stunning eyes. I see the tear from Bette’s eye. I gently wipe it away.
Bette : I lean my forehead against Tina’s. “Happy anniversary, Tee.”

“Welcome home Bette. Happy anniversary”
Your Tina is very sweet!
I’m gonna cry. That was so sweet. I am so hoping they start spending more and more time together and keep talking and keep the little spurts of whats still there moving forward. Looking forward to more.
Gawd dayum heart wrenching – grrrrrr. Keep up the wonderful writing no matter how painful.
This chapter touched my HEART as well, but it seemed like it was over real quick! 11pm already?
where Bette need to say that she wants Tina as the person she loves not just because of Laurel..another great chapter post soon thanks
Cute, very cute both your story and the hint of monumental in the tekst:-0 Went back to your previous post and saw your reaction to my post.
Self reflection is really great, we all should do it more often. But I meant her feelings towards Tina and the way she expresses them. Like you wrote in your story I would love if she holds and maintains eye contact with Tina something of the Bette of old that makes her so attractive. And I know she’s hurting, guitly and considers herself a major fuck up but there has to be something left of that passionate Bette.
Perfect example, although really crazy, when she convinced Tina to have the threesome in season 1. Her speech was so passionate that I wanted to have sex with the guy. I hope you get where I’m coming from I know this is your story and you can have her waring diapers if you want to. Believe me I’ll still read it even though I would probably faint from laughter…I can’t possibly however compliment you enough awesome writing.
heya splippery, yeah, look I couldn’t agree more, Bette’s strength and passion is what makes her attractive (apart from the obvious !). I think Tina asking her to maintain eye contact is a hint she doesn’t want to the Bette she knew disappear completely (atleast in this story). Bette in diapers is not something I’d thought about !! LOL. I’m glad you are enjoying it. I for one hope in season 3 Bette is back with avengence ! UB
This story is refreshing since all the other stories want to reflect supposed spoilers where Tina is a royal Bit@$ to Bette. Forgive Forget or move on.
i love sweet tina!! yay!!! lol soo awesome!!
i loooove this story i guess theyll be drama soon though huh always come love it but it kill sme lol well please post soon thanx byeness<33897123589237
Happy Anniversary to you Tina. Both remembered that special day.. thanks
The eyes have a peculiar way of answering questions that have not yet been asked…failure to make eye contact gives one the freedom to speculate…maybe they are windows to the soul…Nice chapter.
god..I hope that start working things out..very nice and sweet chapter
LOVE IT….THANKS
this was very heartfelt from both of them. im enjoying how you are writing this. and NO diapers, unless they are designer. lol. slipperlynipple too funny. like the looking in the eyes. i dont think were gonna see much of the bette s1 in s3. JMHO. but well see. thanks sweetie.
