    Author Notes:

    It’s a start, even if it’s not the one you want.

     

    I slowly let go of Tina’s hands as the words ring in my ears “I’m sorry Bette. I just can’t.” I try to process it. I do not notice Tina watching me. In what seems and eternity the words are replaying in my head. “I’m sorry Bette. I just can’t.” This is not how it was meant to happen. As I start to comprehend my surroundings I suddenly realize I am kneeling on the floor in our bedroom. I decide I need to get to my feet. Yet I don’t move. I continue to look towards the ground. I feel it before I see it or hear it. Laurel has come running in and jumped into my arms at the most inopportune time. I wrap both arms around her and look up at Tina, who is watching me intently. I tell Laurel to grab me around the neck while I put one hand on the ground to me leverage to get up on my feet. Tina reaches out to give me a hand. The only word I say is “No” and Tina pulls her hand back in. I am up on my feet and Tina is talking but the only thing I can think “I’m sorry Bette. I just can’t.” How could I have read this so wrong, were we not getting on well, did I misread the signs ? I start to make my way to the lounge room no longer wishing to be in the room that has the most bitter and the most sweet intimate memories. I walk out to the lounge and sit. I put Laurel on the ground and tell her that mommy and I need to talk. She makes her way to Tina wanting to be held. I watch her every step and my dreams start to slip away. I finally look up.

    Bette : “I think you should go Tina.”

    Tina : “Bette, did you hear what I said ?”

    Bette : “Yes, I heard. I’m sorry too. Please go.” I say quietly glaring at Tina. Still Tina holds to Laurel standing in front of me. I will myself not to cry. Not again, not this time. This time I will be strong.

    Tina : I sit on the couch unsure if Bette heard anything that I said other than the first sentence. I put Laurel on the ground and she scoots off. “I’m not leaving just yet Bette.” I say it rather firmly but not unkindly. Firm enough she does not argue.

    1. thanks for all the comments guys. I think everyone is a bit right, there are still some things that need to happen before they can be together. Bette really doesn’t quite understand, her listening skills still need some improvement. On the other hand Tina is being quite inflexible, I also think Bette’s passion is what defines her, no passion, no Bette as we know her. Tina is also not sending entirely clear signals. I thinnk it is fair for Tina to ask Bette to show she has some stayinf power after doing a runner. And ofcourse there is Laurel. Off to write the next chapter……..

    2. I don’t trust Tina’s words. She’ll send Bette mixed signals. She’ll want a physical relationship and will succumb to that sooner than she thinks she should, then she’ll pull away. Or she’ll put the moves on Bette and Bette will recoil, not understanding Tina’s haste as she’ll be afraid of one mistatke ending it all. This could be an agonizing story.

    6. God I’m getting a headache. These two, I swear. So okay, Tina is partially right they should take there time, but she doesn’t have to call all the shots, it is nice that she know Bette well enough to know when she didn’t quite get the whole story. Our Ms. Bette, girl always did have a hard time letting Tina finish. Patience Bette, patience. She’ll get through this as long as Tina stays by her.

    7. will you make us wait forever?We need an update viiite!Your story is so so so…my vocabulary is too short to express what I think.With you, I don’t see the words when I read, I see the pictures you describe so well.The feelings,the movements, the sun, the beers(hehe) and everything, everything is absolutely real and perfect.I catch myself holding my breath feeling what B&T must feel sometimes, it’s unbelievable how you can convey emotions.I really missed that so thank you very much ;-)

    8. i love your story… the emotions are so real… the fact that Tina wants to try & be friends is best… it’s no longer just her anymore… can’t wait for more

    12. This gets better with every chapter that you post. Had me worried there a bit, that Bette was going to pull away again. This is the hard part, that she needs to commit to endure. I think it’s fair that Tina ask that they start off slow, as friends. Build a good foundation, of trust, and love, and it’ll only be better for them, and Laurel. Post again, soon, please.

    13. i agree with Tina that is the right choice..one step at a time..they need to feel confortable and trust each other again…amazing chappy..post soon thanks :o)

    15. k. why does everyone have color. snQQpy email me. please.

      uk – i understand tinas pov. but really, i dont think bette has completely understood what she meant. i think it might be best if tina didnt leave until she understands. this wasnt what i was epecting, but do understand. thanks

    17. See Tina’s being smart. Bette & Tina never tried the friend thing first. She’s asking to be friends; that’s not unfair at all. How smart would it be for them to just jump back into a relationship again?

    18. I agree with snQQpy all the way – it’s Tina’s way or the highway. Is that totally fair to Bette? Hopefully, Tina realizes that quickly that Bette’s passion and determination are what define her. Hopefully, Bette will put the same passion and determination into being ‘friends’ and hurry up and win Tina’s passion back.
      Great story – have been a silent reader until now – I just had to agree with snQQpy.

    22. just got to love our hot headed girl … that bette . hears just the first point and spins off into her own remake of an incomplete statement. Thank god Tina gets her and elaborated. Hmmmm – i think i’m alot like bette – i hear something when me and my girl are “talking” and i hyperfocus on an initial comment . i’ll have to suggest to my wife that its her job to reel me back in when i misinterprete what i thought i heard – LOL … keep them coming – i so look forward to each and every chapter.
