Bette: I see the sun shining through the window. “I need to stay here with Tina.”
Kit: “You need to go home, sleep and shower. I will wait with her.” And I nod in Tina’s direction.
Bette: It is such a tempting offer. “You promise me you will be here with her? I don’t want her waking up on her own.”
Kit: “Go, it’s taken care of.”
Bette: I call a taxi and fall asleep on the way home. Home, where is that anyway I wonder. I open the front door and let myself in. I collapse on the couch. I see my cell flashing, I must have left it on the coffee table. There is a number but I do not recognize it, not the hospital, not Kit, it will wait. I sift through the kitchen cupboard until I find the aspirin and swallow two. I make my way to the bathroom and put the shower on full bore and let the water rain down on me. I morbidly wonder how many more showers I will take here. “What happened to us?” I ask out loud to no one but myself. I bend my head under the water, God it feels good. I turn the water off and pull in the fluffy towel. It smells like Tina. Thank god they are both OK. I dry myself, too tired to think about anything else I fall on top of the covers in the spare room. In seconds I am asleep.
Bette: I wake and I am disorientated. It’s light but not morning. Everything seems surreal. Slowly my senses return. I drag myself out of bed to the kitchen where I put the kettle on and sadly I am reminded of the time I burnt my hand after Tina moved out. I make a strong coffee and put some clothes on. I may only feel 80% but it’s 200% on what felt before. Instinctively I make my way to my cell. One message, “Hi Bette, it’s Janice, it’s been along time, um, I’m in LA for a bit, call me on this number if you want to catch up. I’d love to see you.”
Bette: “Holy shit, Janice.” I make my way to the spare room and open the box. I pull the drawings out and hunt through until I find the drawing of the naked lady and the note attached to the back of it. Instantly tears form in my eyes. I can’t explain it. The drawing is of Janice and I reach out and run my fingers over it, over her. When I was traveling after Tina and I separated I had met Janice and she was one of the finest people I had ever met, not to mention beautiful, later I found out rich too. She had comforted me when I had gone on and on and on about Tina. We’d got drunk together, we’d eaten together, we’d looked at art together, we traveled together, I’d drawn her naked but when I suggested to her that we should sleep together she had declined. I smile at the memory of being mystified. For one, not many people turned me down and two, I thought we’d made a real connection. Janice assured me that we had made a real connection but had gently taken my hands in hers and reminded me that it so obvious that I was in love with this woman Tina and that us sleeping together, no matter how much needed to be held, or loved would change that. I would still wake up pinning for Tina. It would not help fill the emptiness. It was Janice that eventually persuaded me to go home, even though we were not traveling together at the time. My cell rings, startling me from my memories.

Glad everybody was civilized, but that had to suck for all parties. Doesn’t seem anybody knows which end is up. One way or the other, something’s got to give.
hate all this drama influenced by s3…i love this story, but it’s getting too dramatic, i wonder what happened in the last 9 months, why tina suddenly is into men thing?
I’m impatient to learn more about Janice, is she a Janice to the rescue or a way out Janice… I would sell my mother to be in Bette’s mind… or maybe yours. C’est toujours un plaisir de te lire unbeknown ;
Damn, Tina is killing me! I know that Bette’s temper has gotten the best of her in the past but I hope she has the mother of all explosions and in no uncertain terms tells Tina exactly what it is she wants…because it looks like Tina’s not going to be giving Bette any incite. Regardless, your story and writing rocks, Unbeknown!
ok, I’m having anxiety here!!!
I’ve loved this story from the start but just like in the show I have to wonder what the heck is tina thinking! At least they were civil to each other.
Well written chapter as ever and I really want to read more, assuming that you are going to kiss it and make it all better again soonish. Please?? You’re killing me here. Thanks for writing but don’t leave us hanging too long though. *Looks hopeful and slightly lost*
Ouch. Their inner thoughts showing makes it interesting. I hope there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, but can’t wait to see the next one. (Merlin)
Ok, now I understand what you mean, héhé, you’re a star unbeknown ;-) Al
Stepping outside the maternity ward to call your potential girlfriend? Aw hell naw, Bette! That is just too trifling for words, I don’t care what is going down with Tina!
bring on the drama…I can handle it….If we can handle S3..you just help us along. Great chapter….
you can write the drama with the best of them – but you write very well about the emotional realities underneath- so what is Tina’s reality underneath pray tell??
I love Tina’s double standard, she asks Bette to sit close to her, asks her what she wants, gets Bette’s heartfelt answer then can’t answer that question for herself? Why is it OK to ask Bette that question when you don’t have a clue what you want? I won’t buy that its the hormones. This Tina has a streak of hate for Bette and that could kill Bett bit by bit.
Tina needs to get her head out off her ass and NOW or she will lose Bette, but maybe that is what she think she wants?????
Unbeknown,They do say that it is darkest before for the dawn but this feels so heartbreaking. I believe that Bette and Tina belong together and hope that this latest aberration will be short lived. There is no fight in Bette which is most disturbing thing. Thoroughly depressed and tearful. Please continue and create some levity in my life. Your Loyal Fan.
seeing Tina to the men thing let me think that we have a long way to go for our feelings.i’m in to women and seeing Tina back to men hurt me a lot ,that make me feel wrong.i’m sad very sad and i hope more happiness and more honesty and love.i want my Bette and Tina back please give us some hope
Damn this is sad and drama coming!
