Bette : I am totally confused. Loves me, does not want to be together, wants to be friends, needs more time. Some frustration sets in “Christ Tina, how long do you want ? I have been away for 18 months.” My voice raises just a fraction.
Tina : “Bette, I don’t need more time apart, I need more time with you, to spend time with you, to see if we can be comfortable together and work to make things good.”
Bette : I stand and head to the fireplace, I rub my forehead. I turn my back to Tina while I process all that has just happened. Friends or nothing, terrific choice. I turn around “OK, friends it is.” Although Tina and I had been getting on well since I returned home there had been no formal discussion of us being friends and certainly no real discussion of a future. We’d been winging it and it was going well. I started to regret what I had just done, both my impassioned plea to Tina about us getting back together and agreeing to be friends.
Tina : “Friends” as I start to rise and make my way to Bette. Bette sees us being friends as the end point, whereas I see it as a starting a point. I love Bette and I know I have taken one ***** of chance. Bette could get up tomorrow and decide she does not want to be here anymore, like last time. I am however resolute in my belief we must work through this and the best place to start is at friends, if we can do that well, perhaps we can talk about the things that happened and perhaps we can plan a future. I remain unsure of whether to reinforce to Bette I see this as a beginning. I worry for both of us it will not work out. I need to believe Bette is committed to being here with me and with Laurel. I make my way to Bette to give her a hug. It will be the first in a long time. Bette seems unsure of what she should do. She smells and feels so good. I pull away as I sense I start to lose control. Bette always had that effect on me.
Tina : “Bette, I am scared, can you understand that ?”
Bette : “yes” as I look into Tina’s eyes. And I understand it more than she knows. “But Tina, shouldn’t we try, I love you, you love me, we have Laurel”
Tina : “One step at a time baby.”

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……..
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.
Good work keep it up.
Hey I’m still catch up LOL! Please continue post soon Thanks!!
I think Tina is right, they need to go slow, and they have alot to talk about. Love the story
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.
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 ;-)
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
Tina can always announce that they have both made mistakes, but it always seems as though things have to be her way or no way!
tough…….*
That was a wonderful emotional chapter please post soon
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.
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)
I love the pace and the dialogue seems right on target. Thanks for the update UB.
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
yes, color, how, why???
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?
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.
yet I would love to see them back together already, i think Tina is right. Wonderful chapter.
my heart is in my stomach. love this story. and who wanted to bitch slap you? nah..you’ll get them there. post soon
great chapter! I wasn’t really expecting this but it’s a good story and I can’t wait to see more of it!
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.
GREAT JOB THANKS…
Good chaprer. Emotions and awesome!
