She doesn’t seem mad. “Are you sure it’s ok?”
“T, we have some time now, right?”
“Right.” Time? A short amount? Long amount?
“We can talk.”
“Right.” I guess.
Talk.
I suppose that’s something that we haven’t really done.
Why am I nervous? I know this woman. I lived with her for eight years.
That’s why I’m nervous.
But then I look at her. I cannot deny the attraction.
Is it purely physical? It couldn’t have been, although the physical component is something that I can’t deny.
I’m not sure if she’s being quiet for any particular reason, or if she’s just thinking.
We remain in silence, though, until we pull up in front of a hotel. Nice. Small. Not all that far from the house.
A doorman opens my door as Bette hops out her side of the car. She deftly tosses over her keys to the man as she takes my hand and leads me inside.
“I hope you don’t mind privacy.”
My heart is beating faster. Mind isn’t exactly the word I would use at this point.
Bette’s room is more of a small suite, with a sitting area that includes two chairs and a couch in addition to the room’s king-sized bed.
“Would you like something to drink?”
I’d like to say water, but for some reason, my mouth feels too dry.
Bette helps herself to a bottle of water from the fridge, and hands one over to me. It’s a very Bette Porter move.
With that, she sits on one end of the couch, letting me choose where to seat myself. That move was very un-Bette Porter. Not directing my actions nor applying pressure.
“T, I know you’re worried about me, and I can understand that.”
Can you understand this? I’m not sure I understand. I seat myself in a chair where I can face her, but still have some measure of being by myself.
“But please realize what a gift we’ve been given. Thanks to Jess, she gave me the courage to be here, and made me see the wisdom in letting go of the past, and enjoying the present while building a future.”

Ok Dammit, you made me cry with this one. That doesn’t happen often. Great…great chapter.
Romance with an air of such tenderness….sweet chapter!
God, I loved this. Thank you.
I wish I was as good with words as you are, if I was you could understand how much I’ve enjoyed this story, and chapter. Thanks for the update.
Not freedom, yet not feel like a captive. Hey, I want to get me some of that. Hope they have it at that little corner store close to where I live.
Amazing chapter as always, pseud. Am all agog and agape. Please continue and post soon.
Cheers!
Pseud,
I don’t comment often – and I feel like an ingrate for not doing so. Please do know that I often read your chapters several times over a period of time. I read this one again just now and realized how lovely and intense it is. You are a great story teller and have somehow found the perfect pace for this story. In many other author’s hands I would have thought this story was close to ending. In your hands it seems there are many unsorted complexities that you will take us thorugh – with just a few words but with great skill. Thanks for a great reading experience.
Bette taking the time to rearrange her schedule shows her depth of understanding their need for communication.
Tina’s inner turmoil about their past and her current feelings gives her pause to consider what the future may hold. However, history can be a fickle advisor. Sometimes it’s better to go with your instinct.
By not forgetting their past, they leave themselves open to the rewards of a positive tomorrow. As long as the past is never used as a weapon against one another.
This new Bette is recognizing her opportunities rather than the chance to retreat.
Bette’s sincerity was so touching, her grandmother’s ring was the perfect offering. Tina’s surprise, uncertainty and ultimate acceptance was like watching the tumblers in a lock working to sync up until the right combination was achieved.
I like the emotional sensuality that you brought to their union, it was neither tawdry nor overplayed. Perfect.
Sometimes a sign is as simple as just talking.
There is still more that these two need to explore with each other…and Jess. Now, the real games begin.
Great chapter!
How is it that I’ve got this stupid grin on my face again?…Oh yeah! Must be because pseud posted another fabulous chapter! Thanks!!!
Est-ce que je dois vous dire combien j’aime votre histoire? Est-ce que voulez-vous que j’écrive une poésie en une autre langue? I don’t want to be redundant, so I thought I should try a new tack…
I just read a chapter by someone else Anys ans wrote a comment ‘this is one of the best chapter I have read in along time’. Then the next chapter is yours, And I have to admit this chapter was even better
such a sweet chapter Pseud. really enjoy seeing the fear in TIna subside and maybe she will trust her true feelings. always love the B&T lovin. ttyl looking forward to the next chappy
OMG! This was incredible. My heart is pounding trying to get out of my chest. Wow. Damn woman, that was just heart stopping, heart pounding incredible. I gotta go read it again just to get my cardio work out.
simply wonderful – Bette finally seems to get it right for Tina.
GOOD CHAPTER. THIS IS THE RIGHT THING BETTE DO!
P!!!!!
hey there
it’s been a minute hope all is well with you. What can I say this chapter along with the other 68 of them have been fucking awesome to say the least. Your story always brings a smile to my face.
OH, OH! I didn’t dare believe, a post by you! This is such an insightful chapter, Tina realizing that Bette loves her all this time and the doubts was just in herself. I like it. I like it a lot.
Thanks….I think you already know that I always for your posts.
Happy me…..
“i hope you dont mind privacy.” and tina could walk after that., uh huh
“you just cant wipe out what y ou did.” “im not asking you to forget, ever, what i did. I know i wont. but ive accepted where i was weak, where i failed. i just want a chance.” jeez it was 15 years ago tina. give the girl a break. k
bette. kneeling before me. presenting me with a ring. so sweet, but so brave.
and when my body falls into releas, she there, holding me, keeping me safe. keeping me warm. *sigh* im so happy to read this before bed. such happy thoughts.
you have captured uncertaintity, happiness, love, acceptance, hope. god just about everything i need to hear. thanks pseud, for you time and care you bring to this. its beautiful. take care.
Perfect!
Let it go already, Tina. Where is her culpability in making Bette leave her and their family? Yeah, Tina’s admitted to the request, but I don’t believe she truly accepts she is equally responsible for Bette’s absence, and she definitely hand’t forgiven Bette for her crimes of the heart after all these years. This Tina is just as annoying and unforgiving as the daughter. She needs to either move on from the past, where she seems to be stuck in perpetuity, or set Bette free once and for all (physically and emotionally). Sigh.
Great chapter.
“Dare I think that I feel loved?” — Love is not about thinking…its about feelings that has nothing to do with logic. Thank you for the update!!!
OMG beautiful..now Tina beggin to see all the truth in Bette and now that all the doubts is only in her mind she have no reason to be afraid and even if have any question or fear she have to ask they need to comunicate ..
“Will there come a time that we can find enjoyment with each other without also finding tears?”..yes this time will come and im sure it will be the best time they will ever live and together..man i have no words to describe how happy i am..BUT i almost forgot Jess..lol..she is the one Bette have to captive now..another amazing chapter please post soon!!!!
I wonder how I’ll know; what kind of sign I might get for guidance.
Then she nudges me, and I feel a tingle.
Damn her for that. That’s not a sign.
(Sure it is, Tina!) Very cute, pseud!
psued, what a great chapter…a nice way to wake up for me. The ring, that TIna knew it was her grandmothers, that was really cool, and how she saw that Bette had changed…and had stayed the same. I hope Tina wears the ring soon, but not too soon. I understand what you were saying about your “When it All Became” story. I only wish I had a) known about this site during season 2 and b)didn’t wait until sept to read you. I was seriously dissappointed with S2, I only hope S3 improves. Although I was frustrated at the end of your WIAB story because it never really ended, I am glad that you are concentrating on the Plan B stories. I really just wanted to let you know that I thought all of your stories were great and I appreciate everything that you write/wrote.
Thank you for sharing a special chapter. ‘It’s not freedom, yet I don’t feel captive.’ When you put yourself in someone’s care and also willingly commit to fulfilling their needs…
Yay ,happy dance . me liked it wery much
Loved it!!
Pseud, I love seeing when a new chapter has been posted. This is such a great view into the minds of all 3 of them. Thanks for keeping it going.
two words… great chapter!
i have enjoyed this story from start but this chapter was the best. everything about it.
This story is incredible! It’s always a joy to read a new chapter, and it never gets old…you’ve got quite a talent!
Yay, for the new Bette and a brave Tina.
