Bette moved close to Tina, standing before her, slipping her hands beneath the coat, holding Tina at her sides. “I don’t want to hurt you. I never want to hurt you, Tina.”
“I’m not going to keep chasing you, Bette. If you don’t meet me half way, then what’s the point?”
“What are you talking about, Tina? I’m doing the best I know how to do.”
Tina stared into the soft, dark eyes. “Maybe your best isn’t enough. I feel too strongly about you for us to play this hot and cold game you keep playing.”
Bette shrugged. She felt lost and clueless. She as out of her depth. Her 19 year old self was not prepared to manage the complexity of mature lesbian relationships. “I’m sorry. It’s easier when we don’t talk,” said Bette.
“How is that?”
“When you leave me, when we separate, I feel so empty. It’s like being with you gives me a high. Withdrawing from you brings me low.”
Tina looked confused. “Then don’t withdraw. Let’s just move forward. I need to know you want to move forward with me, Bette.”
And Tina did need to know. She needed to feel it with every fiber of her being. If she was going to step out on the ledge of independence and lose her earnings, assets, and family, she needed to be sure that she and Bette would weather the storm together.
But she couldn’t tell Bette any of that.
“I need to see her today. I need to get some closure. I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t know how,” said Bette.
“Just tell me. I’m not jealous. Do I seem jealous?” asked Tina.
“Of course I want to move forward with you. Every day is getting better. I’ll see Sidney today, I’ll get things resolved. Our divorce is finally moving forward. Our attorneys are fighting about an equitable split of the gallery. And she’ll be done with rehab next month.”
Tina frowned. “So you want to keep avoiding me until next month? Is that your plan?”
Bette leaned her forehead against Tina’s. “Baby, I – – – I don’t really have a plan. I’m kind of struggling here.”

Wow ok.. there has to be a way out of the marriage and I dont see how he can take every thing.. and there this thing with international banking.. lol.. and I’m sure he has fooled around on her. This whole thing seems to be dragging with them both. Cant keep putting Tina off and expect her to just be there. And Tina needs to make a move. Lol ok great chapter thank you..
Oh I like Chris Anderson! Yes, baby, show ’em what you are capable of! ;-)
Just great, MTS. Pivotal moment for Tina, I’d say.
Good for both of them that Tina stood her ground and told Bette outright that she was avoiding her. Bette is still so shaken up :( She probably needs Tina to lead their relationship.
Thanks for reminding us: “Her 19 year old self was not prepared to……” Exactly.
Looking forwad to the next chapter.
cheers
Oh what a tangle web we weave, when first we plan to deceive!
A simple command by Tina’s Dad to send Henry to pay a visit to Bette, and the trusts Bette extends to Tina/Chris Anderson is blown sky high in a million pieces.
Yep, get it sorted Tina, don’t leave Bette doing all the work.
Thanks for posting, more soon please!

Thanks for the update!
So, we soon will may see how Tina resolve her situation with Henry? Looking forward to read it.
Has Tina decided that she really wants Bette? Bette has been very consistent. She has always wanted to be with Tina. The problem is this attack. Until Bette get the proper therapy, I do not see that she can be intimate with Tina. Tina even though she knows Bette’s problem is being rather slow to make her her mind what is important for her future. Tina needs to get advice and a plan. Even if things do no work out with Bette, she knows that at some point she will be wanting the company of a woman. So she must free herself of Henry and her family in order to have any potential of living a happy life.
Bette is going to be crushed when she finds out that Tina has been lying. It will be most difficult to build trust when she has withheld so much information about herself. And if she finds out in some other way than from Tina herself, it will be more devastating than the attack from Sidney.
Bette should not visit Sidney while she is in the treatment. Consult with her doctors and send a letter of encouragement to work hard at her treatments but with a clear message that the relationship is over. Bette needs to have more therapy more so for her trauma than for her addictions. If she can get this trauma situation under control, it will perhaps reduce the desire to drink or use drugs.
