Bette smiled.
Bette: Okay. Call me later.
Alice: I will.
Bette returned to her blue coupe and headed for home.
Tina texted her that evening.
Tina: Bette, hey.
Bette: Hi, T!
Tina: I didn’t want to do this over text, but I have to be honest with you.
Bette: ????
Tina: I can’t do this anymore.
Bette was standing in her kitchen, grabbing a glass of water when she saw that text message. Her heart started to race, and she sat down at the table.
Bette: What do you mean?
Tina: I know you’re not ready to be with me. And I’m tired of waiting.
Bette’s eyes watered and she felt her stomach flip. Her fingers raced across her phone’s keypad.
Bette: What are you saying? I love you Tina. Please just call me.
Tina: I can’t. I’m sorry.
Bette: Are you telling me we’re over? Is that what you’re saying?
Tina: …
Bette stood and started pacing, she was craving a drink. Anything to release the tension she now felt.
Bette: T? Are you there?
Tina: …
Bette: Tina?? What is going on?? Please don’t do this.
As her sock wearing feet paced the smooth wood of the kitchen floor, Bette heard a knock on the door leading from her bedroom to the backyard. It wasn’t Dana’s knock, but it drew her attention. With her phone still in her hand and her heart in her throat, she walked to her bedroom. Tina was standing there, carrying a small black duffle bag.
Bette opened the door, tears standing in her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak, but Tina kissed her softly, enveloping her in a warm, tight hug. Bette pulled away, hurt and confusion in her eyes. Tina closed the door and grabbed Bette by the hand before placing her bag on the floor.
“What are you doing?” asked Bette. “Are you here to break up with me?”
Tina shook her head. “No. Why?”
Bette looked at her. “Then what the hell is up with your messages?”
“What are you talking about? I told you that I would never get tired of waiting. That I can wait. That I was serious about that. I was on my way here, but I didn’t think you’d be home. I couldn’t wait to tell you.”

You have me on the edge of my seat with Tina’s plans. Feels like she gets more and more self-assured now that she reminded herself how capable and powerful she is. Love it!
The texts to Bette should be another piece of the puzzle for her. It’s a little scary how far the manipulations from Tina’s father or his goons reach. Tina needs a second phone. So great that she spends the nights with Bette. I guess it does wonders for both of them and strenghtens their bond.
Finally Bette could open up about the rape. Now she can really start to heal and overcome her addictions. Thanks for Dr. Burrows!
Thanks for nearly 4k of words! Whenever you need another break from studying, we’re ready to read the next chapters and feed you with comments in exchange ;-)
cheers!
Thank you for the this part!
I like Bette told Dr. Burrows about rape, and i think it’s might be start to her healing.
Still dying to know what is Tina’s plan.
Waiting for the next!
Well done therapy……but its going to take a bit more to get her over this… but this is fiction and cures to not have to progress at the same speeds as life.
Now, what is our lovely Miss Tina up to? Evidently, Tina meant that she was coming over and not avoiding Bette anymore rather than breaking up as interpreted by Bette? Or was this dear old Dad and crew who had accessed her phone and sent a message to Bette?
Surely Dad will not take Tina’s word for deciding to be with Henry? Surely he will have Tina followed or checked up on. He had to get the information that Tina was seeing Bette by either phone records or credit card charges (all those lunches at the gallery)? She was on a pause when she told Henry they were over, so she spent most of the successive nights at home. She did not stay with Bette but for the night before she went to see her Dad. The misinterpreted message for Bette came later that afternoon.
How did he know that Tina had seen a lawyer? Los Angeles has a town full of lawyers and would not contact a predecessor attorney without client permission. I take it that Dad was just guessing that Tina would see a lawyer once he delivered his hammer. Whatever this plan is, Tina has to move like the wind to get it set up. Just don’t do anything stupid like murdering Henry or Stephen Kennard. I really feel badly for Tina and for Bette. I really just want these two to get to some level ground where they can be together and start living their lives as a couple.
Great Chapter… we need a bit more of the plan for Tina. I’m really curious.. thank you for such an entertaining story.
Thanks for the post. Although it’s left me with more questions than answers!
Please post again soon so as more details come my way to think out what is going on especially with Tina.
Loved it,
SG
Great Bette is strong and has shows she understands and is on the mend… oh and you’re mean with the texting auto correct.. so not funny.. thank you for the chapter and happy studying..
Those text messages definitely lead you to believe that Tina was leaving Bette. Coupled with the previous chapter, I really want to know what Tina is up to and how she expects to pull off whatever she is planning. I’m very concerned right now.
This was a really wonderful chapter. Tina making the effort to be with Bette every night, even when she has to arrive after midnight…. what a commitment, how tiring is that? But so beautiful in its simplicity because isnt at night we all feel most vulnerable… and like KiWi said above, it must strengthen their bond. We should all be so lucky. Following this story closely, PSS
