The Journey 53
Tina: I roll over and feel the creases in my face. I must have dozed off. I prop myself up on my left elbow and twist my head around. Bette is still there fast asleep. I always could tell when Bette was tired and this morning, despite what happened was no exception. This morning, seems a world a way now. The minute everyone was gone Bette went straight to bed, fully clothed, and just slept on top of the bed covers. I watched her for awhile, watched her lay so still, sleeping in the same position she always does. When I was convinced she was asleep I hopped on the other side of the bed. One last time, I told myself, just to lay next to her. If Bette woke up pissed off because I am laying next to her, what does it matter? I packed a suitcase after Bette went to bed. She was so determined that I leave. I packed slowly, folding every item, hoping she would come in and ask me to stay. I keep hoping even when I knew she was asleep. Eventually I resigned myself to this is how things might be. I must have drifted off in my own thoughts. I hear Bette stir. I lay down on my back and fidget with my hand. I feel Bette’s hand reach out.
Bette: I reach out and feel someone else in the bed. Unsure who it could be I squint one eye open. I open the other eye and look up at Tina waiting for an explanation. She does not look up.
Bette: “You’re still here?” I say stretching and only surprise in my voice.
Tina: “I’m sorry Bette, I needed to..” I start to say.
Bette: “It’s OK” I can say that because I can still remember that need to be near Tina when I’d had the affair with Candace, the type of need that you think you might die if you don’t get to be near them.
Tina: “Bette?”
Bette: I roll onto my back “yes?” and I am starting to wake up.
Tina: “I’m sorry I hit you. There has to be a better way”
Bette: I say nothing and continue to be fascinated by the ceiling. Finally “I’m sorry to Tina.”

Please keep this a happy ending I love Bette & Tina
5* is back ! thank you for the update, I was holding my breath since the last one ;-)
Hope they would work things out. But I guess it’s not so easy with Tina’s feelings. Does she really know what she is thinking or doing right now?
This is better than Tina clocking Bette (well, I confess, I rather enjoyed tha on a certain level), but that woman changes direction more often than the wind. Interested to see what transpires at the beach.
Let them try real hard The four of them are to beautiful together. thanks
Love the story and the drama you bring…I hope that they can work it out in the end and come back even stronger then befor. Also a question, how come Laurel calls Bette by her first name and not moma? Just wanted to know. Thanks a bunch and post soon.
Please let them work thing out and get together as a family and be happy agian and no more drama. OK post soon please, thanks!
I sure hope that their time spent at the beach is done wisely. I hope that they are able to come to somewhat of a compromise and stay together. I just hate seeing these two leave everything that they have strived for over the years behind.
It’s my first time commenting on one of your stories. I’ve recently had the pleasure of reading up on all your chapters. Please have them work through it. They have a family now and they have to try real hard to make it work. Thanks for the update.
