Vignettes: Chapter 33
Smiling, Bette said, I know. Were prisoners forced to follow a schedule of torturous events.
It hasnt been that bad, has it?
No, not at all. Bette whispered. I feel rejuvenated.
Then why not finish the conversation at breakfast? Tina pushed.
I needed some space, Tina. My head was full of thoughts that I couldnt process on the spot. It was kind of shocking for you to be so candid after years of running from any sort of truth.
Thats fair. Do you know why I came here?
To find me?
Well… yes, obviously, but because I wouldnt have been able to forgive myself if I didnt. I want to hear you, Bette. After years of catering to only your physical needs when we get together, I know things are about to crash and burn if we dont listen to each other. I want to hear whats in here. Tina pointed to Bettes heart.
Bette rested her head on Tinas shoulder again and their hands were still intertwined.
Do you know what I love about you, T?
What?
That you knew to come here to find me. Do you remember all the times we spent here?
How could I forget. Tina whispered.
The feelings mutual, you know. Bette said quietly.
What do you mean?
At breakfast when you said that whenever you see me, your heart tells you to never let go and new life pumps through it, remember? I feel the same way.
I think deep down we both already knew that about each other, right? Why else would we somehow run into each other in the strangest places?
Then jump into bed together? Bette picked up her head to look at Tina, with an eyebrow raised. Having ***** was a lot easier than dealing with what I was feeling. I thought that if I could grab pieces of you like that, that it would satisfy me. It never did. I was always left feeling more empty and alone. You were always in the back of my mind, even when I didnt realize it.
I know what you mean. Tina sighed. I still feel sad, though. Im happy about this conversation, but does it mean anything? We live so far away and each have established lives. And I feel old.
If youre old, then Im ancient. Bette laughed, squeezing Tinas hand. We may be older, Tina, but people still date and have relationships at our age.
Tina scowled and grinned.
We dont have to make any concrete plans tonight, T. Well take things one day at a time. Thats something weve never tried before. Well just see what happens. If its meant to be, things will work out and fall into place.
Just then, they heard a faint music playing from the boardwalk not too far away from them. It was a soft slow song. Bette stood, ending the conversation for now and extended her hand to Tina who looked at her curiously.
Dance with me? Bettes brown eyes pleaded with Tina.
Tina gladly accepted Bettes hand and they swayed on the beach, barefoot. Tina rested her head on Bettes shoulder and Bette placed her chin on Tinas head, taking in her scent, remembering the familiar yet distant smell. As they danced in the afternoon sun, they held onto their aging bodies and catered to their hearts pumping wishes.
Tina? Can we stay like this forever? Bettes muffled whisper floated through Tinas ear.
I think fate is on our side. And if it isnt, then we make our own destiny.
Forever then?
Forever.

I looked up the words fate and destiny the other day. A power outside yourself that brings what was meant to be – it’s fun see them realize they are one another’s destiny.
Thank you for the conversation I was craving :).
Now thats what I”m talking about! Mothers day before reading the story: Fantastic. Mothers day after reading this story;phenominal! Okay, back to reality now….I think theres a diaper I need to change.
YES! At last. Thanks for this – wonderfully written.
Simply amazing
y’know, your story reminds me of why this season on the show has been so disappointing. i mean, i love the show no matter what cuz it’s THE SHOW. but bette and tina could have remained apart and still had plenty of angst-filled moments for us to enjoy, moments with one another where they actually *said* things that reflected their love and pain, even if it meant they couldn’t fix it. i get a sense of that from your story and really appreciate it. i like that you let them have this simple conversation, even when nothing’s simple. bravo!
Aww suchs. At last, Tina and Bette are opening up to one another and showing their true emotions. Maybe now they will reunite and have the relationship they deserve. Woohoo to fareast for this fantastic and fabulous story that just keeps us all enthralled and amazed and coming back for more.
Yep, wanna see where they go next.
And what happens to Alice and Dana. And Fred and Shane.
Make it soon please.
