The Journey 22
Tina : “Yes, we do Bette.”
Bette : “OK then, how about tomorrow, why don’t you come by the house ?” I try to buy some time.
Tina : “Tomorrow then. Goodnight Bette.” I close my cell, disappointed.
Bette : “Goodnight.” I say to the dial tone, unsure of what it means that Tina hung up before I said goodbye. I get up and make a cup of tea and look out the window. Tomorrow will come all too soon. I am sure what I want, I am sure why I came home, the one thing I am unsure about is how to convey this to Tina. I want her to know how I feel. I meant what I said. I came home because I love Tina and I want a life with her but if that is not possible I no longer want to be held captive by the past. I no longer want that for her either. I make my way to the one room of the house I had not been in since my return. Our bedroom. I stand outside the closed door. I wonder if Tina has been in there since that night, the last night we were together, intimately. I reached out for the door *****. I have second thoughts, perhaps this is best done with Tina. The truth, I know in my heart is that I need to go in there now alone. I open the door, immediately before I step into the room I see it has been tidied. The bed is loosely made and Tina’s dress is on the bed. I step into the room and I am assaulted with images of that night. I put my hand up to my face as I think about Tina slapping me. I remember the exact moment I looked in the mirror as I was getting changed and I realized she knew. I made no attempt to lie, God knows I’d done enough. I walk over to the dress. I don’t pick it up, I look at it like it might bite me. I remember my initial attempts to over power Tina, how desperate we were to hang on to anything we could, knowing it was all gone. I put my hand over my breast as I think about Tina biting me, the pain we inflicted on each other. Nothing compared to the emotional pain. I sit on the each of the bed and put my head in my hands. Am I really ready to face this woman ? Has anything changed, have I changed ? Can I admit my failings to her, the mistakes I made, can I be honest with her and honest about my feelings ? I tell myself, this will be my last chance, find a way to communicate how I feel or lose her forever. Haven’t we been through enough ? Even if we do want the same thing, can we make it work, or when something is over, it is just over, gone, never to be revisited. There are so many things I need to tell Tina. Things from when were together and things from my time away. I get off the bed and walk out the room. I do not close the door. There will be no closed doors today. I must have sat there longer than I realised, the sun is up and if I know Tina she will come this morning, rather than the afternoon. I know I will be tired by the afternoon so I am great ful. The reality is I was never going to be able to sleep after that phone call. I take a long, hot shower and put on some comfortable but informal black pants and a white top. I decide to leave my hair down. Whatever happens I will give this my best shot. That is my promise to myself.

awww thats mean, ending this hapter like tat and us having to wait till monday, great story
What???!!! Noooooo!!! She can and she has to! What is Tina thinking, can’t she see how hard Bette is trying?
Not quite what I expected. Tina not able to articulate after all this time? She pushed Bette away before, didn’t sign the divorce papers and gave Laurel Bette’s name? Huh, she doesn’t even want to try with Bette? Lead on I’m folling this story.
Ah Christ! What is wrong with Tina, Bette finally opens up and she says she can’t! you’re the author, make her! Well guess we have to wait till monday :) but anyway great story!
man i dont get it…the other chapter Tina said she was still in love with Bette and was worried if Bette felt the same..so she decided to ask “why B came home”..and now that finally B answered what Tina wanted to hear..she says “No I Can’t” ??? WTF! Tina needs a smack in da head lol why she needs to complicate things ?? damn..
Post soon!.
shit tina!!!! what the hell?!!I thought that was what whe wanted! I’m so dumbfounded! Ah well, guess I’ll just wait to see what kind of bug comes crawling out of her ass in your next chapter! LOL! Thanks!!!!!
Nooo please make it all better
what the hell??? Tina wanted to Bette to answer what she did and now that was Tinas turn to be a coward???and we only will know monday????? nooooooooo
tina is the one character that i love and hate at the same time. bette and dana i love — we won’t mention who i dislike to the point of wanting to slap them but Tina is such a puzzle. She cannot be the wimp she acts because she couldn’t have survived 7 yrs with Bette but then she does wussy stuff like this and i want to throw her in the pool. Great stuff though…sorry — should have said that at the start
HA HA HA HA HA LMAO! with moonshadow comments LOL! You are right What kind of bug comes crawling out of her Ass that was so Funny this is great Yep I’m NOT really sure too OMG! Please continue Post soon Thanks!
no no no no no…now…did you really mean to hang us like that……no no no…Tina has to come up with some other line…this aint gonna work….love it though…more pls
What????I thought Tina said she loved her and wanted to work it out..DAMN CLIFFHANGERS..GREAT JOB ON THE CHAPTER..PLEASE POST SOON
nice job, I really like where this story is heading!
I thought Tina wanted this??? Please post again soon.
im in the back of the line. but WTF???? tina gets rid of whats her name cuz she still loves bette and wants to be able to work it out. and what the hell is monday all about.???? your not posting until then. that is just plain mean. lol i need you to explain this. im so confused *furrowed brow* and its daylight here still. please post soon. thanks.
the next sentence better be “believe you were so open and honest with me. and fuck yeah, i want to work on this relationship.” thats the only thing that makes sense after all weve been hearing tina saying to herself and whats her name. just saying ;)
You were going along just great, until that last sentence! I was thinking, okay, I know we will have to wait a few days, for more posts, but thi will leave us in a good place. WRONG!!! Have a heart unbeknown, how ’bout it?!
very funny!!!! WTF – OMG Tina is one fickle woman … hmmmmmm – i really feel so bad for bette. wherever u r going, have a good time but hurry home and write the next chapter!!!! :-)
Okay we will see your Monday ,have a safe trip. enjoy, we surely want be thanks
NO,NO,NO. Tina wanted to know cos she still loves Bette, Bette tells and then she says I can’t. I don’t think so. Please find a way to change that last line into something better. Love this story, but B&T have got to give it a go.
WTF??? Didn’t Tina just tell Sam that she is still in love with Bette???? This doesn’t make sense!
ok maybe these stories are starting to get garbled in my head, but why was Tina stressing abt why Bette can home and then when Bette tells her it is because of her she says she can’t?!! it just doesn’t add up.
‘Lucy, you have alot of splainin’ to do’!
you are really going to leave us hanging for 4 whole days. OH..and please don’t let tina say no
you are really going to leave us hanging for 4 whole days. OH..and please don’t let tina say no
Damn! don’t leave it like that til
Monday!!!!! :(
NooooooOOooOooo…monday???!?!my new sem starts on monday!!!!! and Tina…you can’t??????what d’ya mean you can’t??argh…..
Dam. That’s got to hurt like hell.
WTF – I thought T wanted this too – I hope shes going to explain in the next chapter (soon please???) I hope she can reconcile this with herself & her peace of mind – because I’m not sure she’ll get that turning B down.
I don’t get it.
In one chap Tina is telling Sam that she loves Bette and has to give them a chance to see where they can go and in the next, she’s turning down Bette after Bette says everything she pretty much wanted to hear. I don’t get that?
That was not fair but I understand Tina’s POV.I have been where Tina sits and my answer was always yes but in the end it never worked out.I though want B and T to be together.
very confusing but maybe this is the test of Bette’s staying power – will she run if Tina doesn’t jump into her arms?
It is times like this when I wanna bitch slap Tina…….and you too for leaving us hanging like this!!! With a story this inviting, Monday might as well be Monday, this time next year!!
what the hell is wrong with her!!!!!!!!!
Oh fuck this is suck, I guess Tina is still scared and fear that Bette will go away if thing get hard!
wtf???? she tells Sam she loves Bette but she tells Bette something different???? crazy, T makes things unnecessarily complicated…keep it simple…
