Those front porch steps saw some interesting conversations over the years…
Story written on March 3, 2013 by torrid.
"It’s easier for me to talk to my friends than it is to talk to someone I’m in a relationship with," Bette said. "Maybe that’s one of the reasons we get along better now."
"You don’t try to control me any more," Tina said.
"As if I ever had the capacity to exert control over you," Bette replied with a laugh.
Tina shook her head rather than arguing.
"Okay," Bette said. "I’m getting better. How’s that?"
"Because Jodi won’t put up with your shit."
"You never put up with my shit…"
Now it was Tina’s turn to laugh.
Bette placed her hand on Tina’s thigh and felt Tina rest her own hand on top.
"What’s going on with Kate Arden?"
"What do you mean?"
"Come on Tee. What’s. Going on. With Kate Arden?"
"Nothing. She’s not interested in me," Tina shrugged.
"She’s interested," Bette said. "How could she not be interested. Look at you."
"I work with her," Tina said. "That would be unprofessional."
"But it’s over…with Henry?"
"So over."
"Good."
"Good?"
"Hard enough to see you with someone else," Bette said. "But to have you leave me for…him?"
"I didn’t leave you for him," Tina said. "I left you and ended up with him."
"The devil is in the details," Bette replied. "The most salient detail being that you left me."
"I was losing myself to the relationship I had with you," Tina said.
"Have you found yourself again?"
Tina nodded.
"I like you a lot more than I ever have," Tina added. "I mean, I always loved you, you know. But I didn’t always like you."
"I like you too," Bette replied. "And that’s certainly something we were missing for a long time."
Bette’s hand started to move up Tina’s thigh, but was stopped when Tina grasped it tighter.
"You can’t do that," Tina said.
"Do what?"
"I know you’re flirting," Tina said. "You can’t expect me to stop it all the time. And we’re finally friends again."
"Have you missed making love with a woman?"
"Bette…"
"Just a casual inquiry," Bette defended.
"I’ve missed making love with you."
"Who’s flirting now?"
"I learned from an expert," Tina replied. "And I understand why you do it. It’s exciting to see someone respond."
"It’s exciting to have you seem interested, even if you’re not," Bette said. "Thanks for playing along. It does make me feel better about my fucked up love life."
Tina released the grip she had on Bette’s hand as it rested on her thigh and instead lifted her arm to place it around Bette’s shoulder. Bette turned her head to kiss Tina on the lips, unsure whether or not it would be a welcome overture.
"You taste like tears," Tina commented after their brief kiss concluded.
"You taste like home," Bette replied. She didn’t turn away, but she didn’t get any closer either. Tina had left her, after all.
"I’m not about to give you advice on how to get Jodi back," Tina said quietly.
"She’s not the one I want anyway," Bette replied.
This time, Tina leaned in. She used the pad of her thumb to wipe the moisture from under Bette’s eye, and kissed her again. Tina felt Bette suck gently on her bottom lip – but she also felt the sensation in locations far removed from where she was being kissed. Bette’s hand moved higher on her thigh again. Tina longed to know just where she would stop.
"Let’s go inside," Bette whispered.
"I have to go get Angie soon."
"We’ll both go," Bette said. "And we can come back here and talk some more."
"Talk?"
"And if something else happens, would that be so bad?"
"It would likely be very good," Tina replied.
"I missed making love to you too," Bette said.
But they wouldn’t be missing it for long.
