James: “Forgotten, go.” And I wave my hand as though Bette can see it.
I head out to the car and I am assaulted by images of Laurel in the baby seat. I open the door and will myself to drive.
Tina
Laurel happily plays in the living room while I unpack groceries. The sun shines through the blinds. I take out the items that belong in the bathroom and make my way there. I pass the study on the way and catch a glimpse of Bette’s half drunk beer and make a mental note to grab it on the way back and wonder how hard it really is to put one’s beer in the rubbish when finished with it. I head to the spare room and pick up the quilt. It smells like Bette and I’d forgotten how good Bette smells. I shake it and place it back on the bed, fluffing up the pillows. Bette was so insistent we sleep in the same bed, it’s odd she slept in the spare room. I know when I was feeling really big and bothered she didn’t mind me staying in there but otherwise we have been sleeping in the same bed. I swing by and grab the beer and poor the rest down the sink and think how odd it is that Bette didn’t finish her beer, she either finishes it or ditches the liquid, even if she sometimes forgets to put the bottle in the bin. I call Bette at work to find out when she will be home, although I already know the answer, this has become our habit. James tells me Bette is in a meeting. The afternoon wears on and I think it is strange Bette hasn’t called back. I start to prepare dinner. 6pm, Bette will be home soon. 7pm, 8pm, by now I am down right pissed off, no one is in a meeting until 8pm and not able to call. I call Bette’s cell for the third time, still it goes to message bank. I call the office, it diverts to message. James is not even there anymore, where the hell is she? I call Kit, nope has not seen her but Kit reassures me that she cannot be far away. I start to wonder if there has been an accident.

could we have one story wher bette and tina are not fighting about her feelings about men its starting to get a little depressing.
Oh my God I love where you are going with this. I am so happy to have a Bette that isn’t the wet dishrag that IC has made her out to be this year. Thank you Thank you Thank you

damn the drama, bring o the confrontation, DAMN LET IT BE GOOD!!!!!!!!!! Confronting someone while you’re having sex with them is kind of a turn on and NOT!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for the next episode, HOPEFULLY IT’L BE REALLY, REALLY SOON!!!!!!
Great chapter. I agree with Jwet. Please post soon.
Yep, I am bringing back the Bette we all loved and sometimes loved to hate…no more lying down.
Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Yikes!!
I can’t wait to hear Tina’s explanation. Great story, please post soon.
Get it out in the open,ask Tina about the cypersex and get it over with. Staying angry and trying to punish Tina is just going to hurt Bett more. thanks
A drunken Bette confronting a clueless Tina. That should be interesting.
i;m thinking i like this bette….i just hope it’ll not turn into something ugly. Still better than S3!
I love how this story is going…Wonderful chapter..THANKS
You know what I love about your stories you take risks – I too hope this doesn’t get ugly but I want Bette to stand up to Tina and yet I’m not sure Bette really knows what’s going on yet.
Forgive me for getting a little turned on from them arguing while Bette is kissing Tina. Bring on the confrontation. At least it’s communication.
Please don’t make this a violent sex scene.
Bette has to tell Tina that she knows what she is doing on the Internet…
Shit this is bad and Bette need to tell Tina about the internet!
Oh Lord, don’t leave us hanging. More please!
Bette needs to talk to Tina about what happened on the computer. Drinking and taking out her anger on poor James isn’t going to do well for her at all.
