Wanna Date? Chapter 8
What? Tina snapped.
Erm, is this a bad time T? Bette sounded decidedly uncertain. Unbidden, Tina found herself relaxing and smiling.
Hmm, my head might be resisting Bettes charms, but my body has other ideas, she thought.
No, sorry. How are you Bette?
Im good thanks. Rough morning?
Just frustrating, Tina replied, not wanting to reveal exactly what had her frustrated.
Well why dont you tell me about it over dinner tonight, my treat. She could hear the smile in Bettes voice. Far more charming than Helenas attempted tempting.
Im sorry Bette, Im not free tonight. Tina didnt want to tell Bette she was seeing Kit. Not that it was top secret or anything, but she had really missed her sister-in-law, and was looking forward to catching up. Plus she was feeling emotionally drained from all the thinking she had done about Bette and Helena. Kit always knew when to give advice, and when to shut up. She was a great woman, and despite being Bettes sister, she knew that Kit wouldnt try to talk her into anything one way or the other.
OK, so how about tomorrow? Theres an arts festival in Santa Monica on Seventh St. We could wander around, try out that seafood place you like. Unlike Helenas persistent cajoling, Bette sounded casual and relaxed. Quite odd for her, come to think of it.
Sure, she found herself saying. That sounds wonderful. Tina hadnt intended to say yes quite so quickly. Ah well, she would have done so eventually anyway.
Great, pick you up at 7. Bette went on cheerfully. Hope your day gets better T. Call me if you need to talk.
Damn her! thought Tina. Why does she make it so hard to resist her!
Kit relaxed back into her chair, wishing again that she could wave a magic wand and fix things for her sister and this woman in front of her, whom she also loved. Kit had envied them their happiness, but never begrudgingly. And seeing them both over the last few months had been so painful. Tina was family, and thats all there was to it.
She was so glad to have the opportunity to catch up with the woman she considered her sister-in-law, away from Bette or the other girls.

I love to see Tina processing the ‘dating’ issue. I NEED this!
Did you ever see the movie, ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’? There’s a scene where a character taps out the ‘shave and a haircut’ rhythm. Roger almost bursts from the irresistable impulse to finish the ‘two bits’.
What does this have to do with this story? I’m trying to explain the emotionally compelling need for closure that was repeatedly thwarted on TLW, particularly in S2. Stories like yours provide the ‘two bits’.
Thanks!
i´m totally agree with Kit Tina can continue play this game she must choose what she really wants…great chapter post soon thanks
I think it is time for Tina to kick Helena to the curb and take it easy with Bette.
this chapter was awesome, the complexity of Tina’s feelings and needs so well described or discovered as she talked to Kit. You really nailed that process. I agree with Techie you are filling in the gaps in the most compelling and thoughtful way. Loving it and waiting for your next post.
GREAT CHAPTER…THANKS..
Excellent chapter! Wonderful dialogue with Tina and Kit.
Please continue and soon – thanks so very much for writing and sharing!
I am not yet ready to see Tina kick Helena to the curb. Of course, Bette and Tina belong together, but I think that this is the perfect time to see Bette do some real groveling (which I do not think she did near enough of in S2) and she needs to know that Tina is a wonderful woman that has many choices. I think Tina should continue to date and have other such activities with both H and B for the time being. Just my opinion…
Kit is right! Tina needs to make up her mind…things with her and Bette cannot just be casual. Thanks for the insight into Tina! I wish we had more of that in S2.
Great chapter. Time for Tina to get rid of Helena and just let Bette know how it is going to be. post soon
Great chapter. I love how you utilize Kit. I wished we saw this on screen.
WOW!!! Tina’s really confused..But I hope she makes the RIGHT choice..THANKS!
K
Excellent chapter. Pick Bette, hello? Love it, can’t wait for more.
Damn Tina choose 1 of them and make a right decision and hope Tina will choice Bette. Can’t wait to see Bette and Tina get back together. Post soon, thanks!
WOW! Hey Cogent I’m just read all of the Story you got there, thats was so Beautiful Amazing story I love it Kit is right I love the way she said to Tina NOTHING IN LIFE IS A SURE THING YOU KNOW Amen of that you’re right Cogent that Awesome write up I love it Thanks Please post soon.
Loved the talk between Tina and Kit. And Kit is right, Tina can´t continue this game any longer. She needs to choose eighter Bette or Helena and for god sake let her choose Bette. Please. Wonderful update. Keep going
This is such a great explantion of what Tina was thinking. The show completely passed over any of this and I am glad that you have been able to fill in the gaps. It makes sense (something that IC doesn’t always do). They promised processing but it has taken the fanfic writers to acutally do it…thanks, cant wait for updates.
Great chapter. Tina’s uncertainty about her relationships with Bette and Helena are quite insightful. Kit was being truthful and a real friend to Tina. Very well done.
