Bette: “It’s so good to see you” and I let my head rest against her.
Janice: “And you my friend. You look stunning as always.”
Bette: “Not bad yourself..” and I smile at Janice who looks no different except she is no longer in back packer clothes. Her hair is immaculate and she is as stunning as ever.
Janice: “Well, shall we?”
Bette: I pull the door behind me and see that Janice bought a driver.
Janice: “I hope it’s not too much, I thought we could have a bottle of wine without having to worry about how to get home.”
Bette: “Janice, it’s completely over the top!” I half admonish.
We sit quietly on our way, each looking out the window. We arrive at one of LA’s best Italian restaurants and in Janice’s way she has quietly snared the best table. The most private table, the one with a view.
Bette: “You always did spoil me.”
Janice: “Spoil you, more like spoil me. You think this is all for you?” and I let Bette think I am serious. We sit and I order an overpriced bottle of white wine.
Janice: “I seem to recall you do like Italian.”
Bette: “Yes, I do.” I sigh. “How are you Janice?”
Janice: I taste the wine and thank the waiter. He takes that as an indication to pour the wine. I look up. “I am really good Bette.” I say sincerely as I place my glass down and make eye contact. The lights dim a fraction. “And you? How is the baby? How is Tina?”
Bette: “They are both doing well. Jennifer is so beautiful.” And Janice orders in Italian for both of us.
Janice: “I hope you like risotto.”
Bette: I smile wondering how she knows what I would choose. I place my glass down.
Janice: “And work, how is work? Have you been painting?”
Bette: I am momentarily embarrassed. “I haven’t really painted at all since I came home.”
Janice: “I see.” Wondering if it is because she lacks inspiration.
Bette: I move to the work subject. “Work is good, this job has really suited me, it is interesting and challenging and allows me time with my family.” And I wonder why I needed to add that. “So, what have you been doing?”

wow, it’s getting more and more intense…i was wondering too, is bette willing to fight for tina? or will she just let tina to make all the decisions? how did they get to this point from being in love and commited? *sigh*, i need some happy B&T
Kit should have went over to Bette, it is not her personality to have just let Bette “cheat”. If she didn’t do that then stay out of the way. Bette isn’t he guilty party here. Bette doesn’t need to fight for Tina, Tina needs to decide what she wants. Bette wants her family, but she deserves to protect her heart too. If Tina doesn’t want Bette then Bette loses her and the children. For crying out loud, Bette was ready to buy wedding rings!
Bette doesn’t need more pressure from kit or anyone else, she only need to relax. Unbeknown, I’m holding my breath when I read your story, you’re incredible, thank you ;-)
Ouch..Kit was right. The intensity building between them both is so palpable. They need to sit the heck down and talk, like they did at the Inn. Maybe they need to visit there again. They both are running away when it get difficult…jeez, didn’t they learn anything from before?
Oh great. The baby isn’t even hardly dry yet and Bette is out on a date. They should have both choked on their dinners and died on the spot, victims of god’s wrath. …I jest…Somebody has to stand still and stop reacting – there are two (count them, two) children to consider now. All of you – grow up! Thank you for making your Kit the voice of reason, as the SHO Kit has gone crazy.
pretty please post soon…thank you for this chapter.
I meant for the adults to grow up. The kids have a couple decades before they can be held accountable. Thanks!
Gee Whiz! Bette didn’t do anything wrong. OK, so there’s sexual attraction between she and Janice, but apparently that’s not all, and they have never acted on it. I don’t blame Bette for wanting to get away from all the turmoil for an evening. Kit may be her big sister, but that doesn’t give her the right to tell her how to live her life.
Bette supported Tina through the delivery and plainly w/o hesitation told Tina what she wanted. Tina doesn’t seem to want Bette. Bette found solace in Jannice, the same friend who sent her back to Tina. But now Tina is rejecting Bette. Remember just 2 days ago Bette was buying wedding rings so I think we know what she wants. The time with Janice is a reminder that her life and world doesn’t actually have to end if Tina rejects her and they aren’t the family.
wow unbeknown just caught up reading your story. Love it. I hope they can work it out. NO matter what else happens I think love is worth fighting for.
Unbeknown,Kudos to Kit for stating it as it is. Bette had better get her shit in order and start fighting for what she wants; Tina. These gals belong together and no one else can come close in completely them. Bette, please heed your sister and go get what you want. All of this uncertainty in unsettling but I know that you will reunion these two halves. Puh-leaze make it so. Wonderful writing and torturous twist make this a must read. Thank you for all your time and effort. Your Loyal Fan.
Now that the ptoverbial shoe is on the other foot, Bette isn’t as forgiving. Maybe if she’d stop to think that if Tina had treated her the same way she wouldn’t have even gotten those precious months to try to renew their trust.Open your eyes Bette.
I second what techgal said. I love your story and I’m anxiously awaiting the next chapter.
Can’t wait to see how the situation turns out. Also I wondering did Tina hear their convo, since they were standing outside the door. Good Job.
This is getting more crazy!
