The Push and The Pull
Bette finally hauled herself out of bed. She padded into the bathroom and then into the kitchen. It didn’t take long as her apartment was tiny. She had always dreamed of living in New York. What she hadn’t dreamed about was the price of property. She was happy though. The apartment was hers and she was happy. She lived how she wanted to live now and she had to be content with what she had. There had been other women since Jodi, and then hers and Tina’s brief reconciliation. They never stayed the course though. Bette waited for her coffee to cool down before she took a sip. Even she had to admit to herself that Tina had spoilt her for anyone else. No one ever matched up and Bette knew that she had to stop comparing, otherwise she was going to die a lonely woman.
Tina was confused. She looked at the clock. It was noon. How did it get to be that time? Then she remembered. She had finally fallen asleep at around 6:00am. She knew that six hours sleep wasn’t a lot but it would have to do. She lay there for a few more minutes contemplating the room service menu. She then decided that was too lazy. She should get up and head out for breakfast, or lunch, depending on your point of view. Tina headed for the shower. There were just too many reminders of her and Bette’s better days. Maybe Tina was just being nostalgic. After all, it had been ten years since that fateful morning.
Bette stood in the shower for a very long time. Sometimes it felt like a lifetime ago that she and Tina decided to move here after getting back together. Then there were times like right now that it felt like yesterday. She regretted deeply that it hadn’t worked out. Bette knew that she was hard to live with and maybe the damage was too great to be repaired. Tina blamed her, and she blamed herself. That didn’t help. Bette wanted to shift the blame, somewhere, anywhere, but it just wasn’t possible. It wasn’t long until Tina was making plans to move back to Los Angeles, but the last thing that Bette had heard was that Tina had moved further south to San Diego. Maybe to start over completely.
