"Um, I’m going to grab a drink. I’ll be right back," Alice said once she realized there was an awkward silence due to her presence.
The silence continued for a bit until Bette finally spoke out.
"It’s a beautiful ring."
"Oh," Tina looked at her hand, "Yea." She laughed, "I picked it myself, ironically."
Bette looked her in the eyes. Whether she meant to or not, there was lust written all over them. She wanted to devour the blond in front of her right then and there.
"You really look amazing. You always have. But today, I…You…You just look great," Bette contained herself, worried she would say much worse.
Tina laughed, feeling comforted by the honesty Bette was displaying. "Well, thank you. You look amazing as well. A great sight after six months," Tina lowered her head and looked into her champagne class.
"I’ve thought about you," Bette confessed. She didn’t know what had come over her, but she knew wanted Tina to know and see hoe she would reply. She wanted to know if there was still a chance.
Tina looked back up into Bette’s eyes. "I’ve thought about you too," she said biting her lip. She felt the heat rising from her most sensitive spot. She had managed to go six months hating this woman, and now, with just one comment she was ready to give it all up. "I’m sorry about the way things ended. It was crazy of me, I realize."
"I was crazy too," Bette was quick to interject. "Between us, I was crazy even before you, just at the thought of you and Peter," Bette admitted.
"Yea, Peter," Tina was brought back to the realization that her fiancee was in the room over. "He’s a great guy," she said, trying more to convince herself than Bette.
"He’s a lucky man to have you," Bette responded, taking the direction of this conversation in what she thought was a nice let down on Tina’s part.
"Will you be here for a bit? I really want to talk, but have to say hello to all of the guests that are just arriving."
"Yes of course. I’ll be around," Bette smiled, though inside her heart felt as though it was breaking. Tina had moved on, or so she thought. She had lost her opportunity.

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!
