As the evening progressed, Bette and Tina found themselves looking in each other’s directions more than they could count.
"So, what do you think she wants to talk about?" asked Alice.
"No idea. Probably Peter, and how much she loves him," Bette groaned, having had a couple of drinks and feeling more emotional than usual.
"Well, you can rebuttle with how much you love me," Alice offered.
With that, Alice decided to go grab another round for the two of them. It was during that moment that Tina caught a glimpse of Bette standing alone and decided to make her way over.
"Hey, want to go for a walk out on the veranda?"
"Oh sure, but let me just tell Alice I’m going to be out there," Bette shot Alice a look letting her know she was heading out with Tina.
"If you’d rather she come, that’s fine too," Tina said, disappointed.
"Nonsense, she’s not my fiancee," Bette said, clearly expressing more than she should have after several drinks.
"Right," Tina smirked, though annoyed.
As they made their way outside, the timing could not have been more perfect. The sun was setting over the hills of upstate New York and the glare was shining perfectly onto both women. They made their way down to the garden and decided to follow a path that led to orchards out back.
"I love him," Tina was the first to break the silence.
"I hope so, you’re marrying him," Bette said crudely.
Tina stopped walking and abruptly turned around to face Bette, angry at her response.
"Why do you have to be so blase about it all?"
"I’m not. But what do you want me to say?"
"That you still care! That you want to be with me! That you’re jealous! Anything!" Tina yelled, and before finishing, Bette had grabbed her tightly, one hand around her waist, the other tangled in her hair kissing. Her lips smashed onto Tina’s and kissed, holding her strong grip for several seconds before letting go. Slowly, she made a distance between the two of them, allowing Tina to reflect on what had just happened.
"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that," Bette was first to speak.

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!
