Not five minutes went by when Bette heard her phone.
"What’s going on with you and Alice?"
______
Tina could not believe she had just responded like that to Bette’s text. She had completely ignored Bette’s message and went straight for the question that had haunted her all morning. Within seconds, her phone was ringing.
"Hello, Bette."
"Hello, Tina. There’s nothing going on with me and Alice, I told you that yesterday."
"You did. But you failed to mention your past relationship with her. Did you go home with her?" Tina countered.
"Well yes, but it’s not like that. Nothing happened, she’s my friend. And how are you even saying this right now? You went home with Peter!"
Tina felt something she had never felt before. It was far beyond jealousy. It was a rage building insider of her stomach. She wanted to be the one that went home with Bette, not Alice. Alice was never a part of the equation.
"And you know what, I’m glad I did. Peter was right about you. You just play with women and take them as they come," Tina was blurting out as many hurtful things as possible to hide the fact she was the one hurt. She was embarrassed that she had let herself go as far as she had in hopes that she could have something, anything, with Bette.
"You are being absolutely ridiculous, and again YOU are the one dating someone, not me," Bette began to end the conversation. "I like you, I have liked you from the moment I met you, and I didn’t know whether this, whatever it was, could lead to something. Last night was the closest I came to thinking it could, but I’m certain now that I was wrong. I won’t bother you again, and I trust you will be doing the same."
Tina’s eyes were full of tears, though she held them in so as to prove to herself that Bette Porter did not have this or any effect on her. She hated her so much right now. For having made her crazy, for having made her say the things she did, but mostly, for having ruined any possibility of being with her. She would forget this had ever happened, she told herself. Forget she had ever gone out with Bette that night. It would be as though the last month had never happened, she promised herself. Bette Porter was no one to her, and she certainly didn’t need her in her life.

Hmm. Well, it’s not Peter’s fault that Tina doesn’t know what she wants in life, and Bette made her intentions clear. Tina’d better figure it out sooner rather than later and stop playing with everyone’s hearts… including her own. Thanks for posting. :)
Tina needs to figure out what she wants and soon before she walks down the aisle.
Tina needs to shape up
Tina needs to grow a backbone.
Willing to take advice as to the direction you’d like to see this going in! – just don’t make Tina a total wimp (think how different Tina would be if IFC hadn’t divorced -her- Tina…)
Sometimes in life we are afraid of hurting others and in that process we only ending up hurting ourselves more. For potentially we can not live through someone elses happiness. It only makes us more miserable. I hope Tina tells Peter the truth before it is too late and Bette is gone and no longer interested because of the hurt she had to initially forego to get Tina to be honest with her and herself. Can’t wait for more.
Great chapter. Tina needs to call a halt to this engagement, and stop playing with them she doesn’t want to marry peter, she wants Bette period. As for telling you about your story, just let your characters lead you they will tell you where they want to go. No matter how you try to ignore them and write what you want, they will not let you ignore them, you will write what they are telling you. Its not hard, try it. The bottom line, they want to be together and Tina thinks she needs to be, for want of a better word, in a “normal relationship,” because she is uncertain of what others will say. Thanks for posting.
Oh wow, loads of drama… I feel bad for Bette, she puts her self out there twice now and both times knocked downt by Tina :( …Hope the next chapter has Tina making up her mind,I’m even feeling bad for Peter.
This is going to get messy, Tina should have never let it get this far…….with Peter and Bette being good friends thats going to be hard great update thanks pps
Excellent update. Thank you
Honestly, I don’t want this Tina anywhere near Bette. What an idiot – got pissed off because Bette was with a friend while she herself is happily dating/sleeping with a guy? And what the hell does she want from Bette now when she just said she loved him? Huh? Let her marry the dude and give Bette a normal gf, or bring back Jodi.
I HAVE to have more! This is getting good! Tina can’t expect for Bette to wait by while she makes up her mind (even though I bet Bette would). She deserves better than what this Tina is doing to her. Thanks for posting.
Wrong decision Tina.Thank you for the update.PPS
Tina needs to get her head out of her ass and do what is right, she is jerking Peter around as well as Bette. PPS
Wow, that is one wicked game Tina is playing. Granted she’s confused but she can’t keep playing with Bette and Peters hearts in this way. On the other hand if Tina would just sleep with Bette already I don’t think she’d have a single doubt left about who she wants to be with (lol) great update, post soon.
Arrga come on Tina just dump Peter and be with Bette already, damn it. Please post more, thanks!
