Knowing Bette wouldn’t be able to take any more outpouring, Dan turned his attention to Tina. She had been very quiet so far, which was not uncommon in this dynamic. Many times, he had seen Tina take a backseat to Bette’s comments, only to justify them later. She appeared to be in a different place now, and this new Tina intrigued him.
“Tina. You’ve been very quiet.” Tina’s eyes never left Bette. She had always been the nurturing type. Time and time again, putting someone else’s needs above hers so that she could take away the pain they felt. Becoming a mother potentiated that aspect of her, especially with Bette. To Tina, there was nothing worse than watching someone you love suffer. She thought back to the events of the last year. How often had she been the cause of pain for Bette? She thought of Shane’s non-wedding and telling Bette that she had second thoughts about Angelica’s second parent adoption. She thought of how she slept with Henry in the very bed she and Bette shared. How could she be the cause of such pain when all she wanted to turn back the clock before any of this started?
“I have.” She continued to stroke Bette’s hair, and watched as her breathing began to normalize.
Candace.
“A lot has happened since you were here last.”
She mentally checked off the numerous big events in her life since she and Bette shared this couch: broke up with Bette, new lover, got back together with Bette, had a baby, new career, new lover, broke up with Bette . . . all of it some how seemed detached from her, as though it wasn’t her. It was someone else’s life and she merely watched.
She was caught in a fucked up push me-pull me.
“You’re telling me.” She scoffed and shook her head. If someone had asked me where will you be in 5 years, I never ever would have thought here.
“Where would you like to start?” Tina shrugged. She could barely figure out what was happening to her day to day; she certainly didn’t know where it began.
“I don’t know. I – I don’t know what’s going on anymore.” She threw her hands up in frustration. Her sudden motion startled Bette out her trance. She turned to face Tina, listening to every word she said.

awe-fuckin-some!!! NEXT POST PLEASE!!!!
Great story, gayDoc. I love how you’re taking care to describe their feelings from both POV. PPS.
This was SO GOOD! Amazingly well done. Both points of view. The fear, the anguish, the love. You captured it all! Wow.
Very nice. I must say, you had me at “potentiated.”
wow, this is really good. I’m a newbie, and I don’t think i could top any of that. love your writing. please post more. i’m adding you to my list of favorite authors.
Nice. Haven’t seen you post here before..and its amazing so far. Really well done.
Welcome. haven’t seen your story before. Love how you brought all the hurt and love together. It not an option for Tina to be without Bette in her life. together or just friends thanks
Wow Doc! It’s nice to see some honest productive conversation between these two. Soooo where’s chapter 2? MD’s can’t be that busy, can they?
Great story :oD i always love to read this behind the scenes or in this case after the scenes, fics. So much of the processing for these two goes on off screen that it’s great to be granted a perspective of what they have been thinking. Besides it’s getting clearer and clearer we are not going to get much more of them discussing what has happened between them and although i did love the elevator talk and thought it went way deeper than the mere words they said i still wish we could see more of the process of them reclaiming each other back. Anyway, loved it :D and i’ll now head on to chapter 2 :D
I’m breathless – just like Bette. Wow! Fantastic session and processing of the emotions these two have been feeling for one another since the kiss at Shebar. I love how they both seem so lost in their fear and yet rebound with the strength of their love for one another. Please continue the story!
Love this and look forward to your next post. Great dialogue and emotion. Although we’ve seen glimpses, I’d love to see them opening up and discussing their relationship as you have done.
That was great!
Now that is what I call some good therapy. Time for our girls to be honest and go for what they want, no matter how much it may hurt someone else.
