    Author Notes:

    Late night questions

    I feel like its too soon for me. Tina said in a quiet voice.

    Too soon? Tina, I have waited for three months!

    But you couldnt have waited three months before, right? Tina flashed Bette a heated look. Tina knew this would hurt Bette and start another fight, but she let it slip before she could catch herself.

    I made a mistake. Bette said, her voice wavering as she tried to keep from becoming angry. I cant change it.

    You need to have patience with me. This is so hard.

    I have been very patient. But I need to know if this is going to work.

    Why? Have somebody else waiting in case this doesnt work out?

    No.

    Then what? Tina asked.

    Nothing, I just want you to know how much I love you. Bette said, guilt overwhelming her. She couldnt communicate to Tina how much she regretted her decisions over the months, nor how much she loved her. She also couldnt tell Tina about the job offer in NYC with a woman who wanted to open a gallery with her. Bettes dream job awaited her, but she was willing to sacrifice it all if it meant Tina would take her back. Time was running out though. Selfishness suddenly overcame Bette.

    I love you too. But is love enough? Tina asked.

    If it isnt, then I dont know why Im sitting here with you.

    Why dont you go then? Tina challenged her, pride overwhelming her yet breaking her heart at the same time.

    Maybe I will. Bette stood up and saw fear and pain flash through Tinas face.

    Fine.

    But… if I leave tonight, Im not coming back unless you call me and let me know you want to do this. This is it. If I walk out that door, Im not turning back. Bette hoped her words would cause Tina to ask her to stay, to hold her, kiss her, mend Tinas broken heart.

    Silence filled the room and Bette slowly made her way to the door. She felt like time was moving in slow motion, like a bad dream was being lived out in that very moment. As she opened the door, she didnt turn around. If she had, she would have seen the tears falling down Tinas cheeks, her voice caught in her throat, unable to let her heart speak for her.

    ***

    So then what? Shane asked, wide eyed.

    I saw her one last time before going to NY.

    Wow… you actually left. When did you see Tina?

    My car was packed and I was ready to drive. I stopped by Tinas on my way. I told her I was leaving. She didnt say much. I asked her if there was any reason for me to stay. I told her if there was a chance that I would drop everything and stay but she told me to go.

    Why didnt you just stay, kiss her or something.

    Because I needed to go. I realized that when I drove away. Tina and I needed some space for a while.

    Six years, though?

    I guess time got away from us. Bette sighed.

    Why didnt you go back and try again after some time?

    Bette shrugged.

    Too afraid of getting hurt? Shane asked.

    Something like that. Bette confessed.

    What if Tina felt the same way?

    Then pride is stronger than love, I guess.

    Shane shook her head. Its only what you make of it.

    Then we made it impossible.

    1. I’ve been waiting for this. As usual I love it. I think it’s good to see the background of what got Bette and Tina to this point and of course I’m hoping true love is much stronger than pride. Great job thanks for posting

    2. Hey!
      wheneva I see this story on the board i know im going to enjoy each and every chapter immensly even before reading it… Thank you so much Fareast for sharing ur talent :D

    3. like this, with all the great stories on this site and they are great but it good to see one where Bette is taking charge again there are only so many times you can say your “Sorry” its tme they were forced to make or break!im glad in your story Bette did it hard as it was tho i do hope they get it together again Hopless romantic or what wnyway thanks for a good chapter

    7. As fun as it may be for you to read what we are thinking…I can promise you that it is an absolute treat to be able to read what you are thinking!! This story is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I love the way you write…although, I always feel I have to cradle my heart in my hands with each new chapter. Thank you so much for your thoughts.

    17. this story is just wonderful — my romantic heart just breaks — you depict so perfectly how we can get in our own way — really well done….thanks

    18. Your story is so melancholy in a way – it’s as if B&T cannot answer the question of whether their love is worth fighting for and if so who will open the door? You write beautifully as if you are trying to discover something rather than you have something you are certain of. Thanks so much for spinning this story.

    19. Superb. Yet again you have crafted a genuine and moving chapter that continues to tempt us to believe that Bette and Tina will be together again then taunt us as their pettiness gets in the way. Just like life.
      Such an awesome tale.
      Awaiting the next installment with much excitment and trepidation.
