The Journey 22
Tina Arrives
The door bell rings. I know it is Tina. I open the door. “Hey Tee, come on in.” Thanks is the only reply I get. I ask if she would like a drink, a glass of water. She follows me into the kitchen. I get two glasses of water, it all seems in slow motion. Tina makes no effort to make chit chat. I pass her the glass and head for the couch. She follows, takes a sip of her water and waits. Still she waits. I look at her, I frown. She waits.
Bette : “OK, Tina” I nod in acknowledgement she will not start. I look at my glass and then up at Tina. “Tina, I came home because I love you, I still love you and I need to know if there is any chance of us working things out.” Pause, I notice her watching me intensely. “I know Tee, I made, we made many mistakes and things have changed a lot. I’ve changed, you’ve changed and now there is Laurel. There would be many things for us to work out and work through. But I can’t help but think, we have a daughter now and we had some good times didn’t we ?” I don’t expect an answer, it really was more of a statement. “Tina, if you do not feel the same, I will respect that, we can still work together with Laurel. But Tina, that is the answer to your question. I came home because I love you, because I miss you, because I fucked up and I want to make it right.” I swallow “Tee is that what you want ?”
Tina : I hesitate. “Bette, I was so devastated after, after.. and then when you left it was like it was all happening again. I could not believe you would leave me and LA and never said a word. I know I did not give you reason to believe there was a reason to stay. But as you say Bette things have changed, I have changed. I don’t know if you have changed. Sometimes I feel I still know you and other times I feel like you are a different person.”
Bette : “Tina, I am still me, Bette. But, I hope, I think, I had time to work on me when I was away. The changes you see are good changes..”

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…
