”Hey, it’s not my fault, I’m just following the list of things you can eat the day before your surgery. You want some Orange Jello instead,” Tina said trying to stuff her laugh, as she grabbed an Orange Jello cup from the fridge and handed it to Bette. Their fingers brushed against each other briefly and Tina could feel a twinge of electricity move between her and Bette and she swallowed in response. Tina had started noticing little things that stirred her more and more each day. The sexual energy between the two had always been strong when they were together, but had abated over the last few years. The emotions that were awaking in both women were causing it to come back with so much fervor that it was becoming increasingly hard to ignore.
”Thanks,” Bette said sarcastically, opening the Jello and taking in a mouth full as she thought about the jolt she had just felt. There was no denying that they still had that magnetic chemistry moving between them. Even with all the anger and hurt, Bette could not deny they were still connected. But what does that mean for them now. She gave her heart to Tina all those years ago and made a promise the day they got married to remain by her side through the good and the bad. None the less, Tina started a chain of events when she turned her back on Bette two years ago that caused Bette to lose a sense of control over her entire life and a feeling of all consuming anguish that has never left her since. Bette thought back to a conversation she had with Shane about not being over Tina. She recalled describing the love she had for Tina. How it made her feel alive and how now she didn’t feel normal. As Bette stared at Tina while deep in thought, a bitterness took hold as she began to feel the hurt and emptiness surfacing that resulted from the broken vow.
”Hey,” Tina said, drawing Bette out of her head. ”Are you ok?” Tina asked in a worried tone.
”Yea, I think I’m going to go read in my room a bit,” Bette said as she stood up with her head down, trying to hide what was going through her mind.

Enjoying your story very much. Wondering if the new series will actually come back for another season. No time soon to be sure. Maybe the GQ terrible writers have been reading your story. They sure need the tutorial. Glad that Bette is going to be ok. Leave it to our Peggy to cut to the chase. She adores Bette and thank God Bette has her. Figure it out Tina! Lastly, there seems to be more to the Wentworth Gallery story?

I am glad you are enjoying it. This is a slow unfolding story. Context is what it is all about. I always have 3 working chapters just to keep everything straight.
Peggy definitely didn’t hold her tongue. But, she never would.

Slow story is just fine. Looking forward to reading.
Great story…..so no cancer….surgery seems to have gone well. Terrible time to have so much emotional upheaval. But it would appear that Bette has be suffering emotional trauma for a couple of years. So what happened? How do they avoid this from happening again?
I understand Peggy being protective, but Bette cannot be protected by anyone else. She can only protect herself from Tina. And if she does not want to protect herself, she will not. Tina needs to make up her mind – does she want a life with Bette or not. She needs to want it more than she wants life itself before she ask her for another chance. One more try and fail would appear to be fatal for Bette. And in my opinion – accept Bette for who she is or leave and never attempt to communicate with her again – no more promises, no more compromises and disappointments and no more grass is greener elsewhere and no more anticipation or request for changes which does not originate within her own soul. Bette is who she is and she love Tina without reservation. What more could Tina want? Commit and do everything to keep that commitment. Tina! And if you cannot commit, to who she is right now, then walk away.
Thank you for this story. It is so heart breaking to see Bette is so much emotional pain. I look forward to more
Nailed it!

I am glad you enjoyed Peggy. You wrote a couple chapters back something to the effect of more Peggy backstory. I had chuckled at the time because this had already been in its first draft. LOL

So glad it’s not Cancer don’t think I could have coped with that!
Great chapter, love Peggy!
Please post more soon

Thank you for the chapter!
So, they slept in on bed – i guess it’s something, yeah?
I also have mixed emotions about Peggy intrusion – from one side she told right things to Tina, but from another – Tina right – it’s not Peggy business

Any parent’s intrusion on their adult child’s relationship is never wanted, but always seems to happen. They can’t help themselves.
This was fun to write.

Great story. Glad it was not cancer. Now they can start finding their way back to each other. I totally get Peggy coming to talk to Tina and I hope she’s listening and takes it to heart. Don’t we all need a Peggy in our lives, I know I could use someone to sit me down at times and lays it on the line. Looking forward to the next chapter as Bette heals and Tina starts to figure her shit out.
Thanks
Totally agree!
So happy no cancer! Everyone should have a Peggy in their lives…..blunt and unfiltered! LOL
Thrilled that Peggie had an honest talk with Tina.
Madamn P was 100% right to lay it out strongly to Tina that she wasn’t budding into their business, but rather was just stating her unconditional love for Bette as a daughter. It’s NOT Peggie’s fault that Tina forgot what it means to “cherish” Bette’s heart.
Tina had put conditions on when and how she was going to love Bette and to me, that is the heart of the matter. She just needs to decide that she will faithfully love Bette.
Bette had/has put in the effort to learn how and why she responds to many of life’s curve balls the way she does; and with therapy, she has discovered much about her personality.
I suspect that her mini-clone, Angie has helped Bette feel the unconditional love that she has been craving from Tina.
Seems like Tina needs to continue her own journey of discovery and soul recovery and get on with the program!
SuperK,
Wondering if our girls are having so much trouble deciding “when” to respond to the “sexual” electricity that still remains between them is because they want more than “just” sex in the relationship.
The intimacy of emotional nourishment that they’ve known in the past may be a MUST HAVE at this point in their lives. They have got to figure out what will be the lifeblood of this new relationship.
Angie will be off to college in a couple of years and Tibette needs to have a strong bond of admiration and longing to be a couple with a fierce-love for each other.
Well, Tina needs to get her shit together. I love direct and respectful dialogue. It leaves no room for misunderstandings.
