“Oh my God Coca Cola are you serious?” says Alice.
“Yes I drank the whole bottle.”
“Well that sounds absolutely disgusting “
“Believe me, it was.” Bette laughs
“I came home from that date to find Bette sitting in the dark, on the floor, against the wall with the empty bottle in her hands”
“I think that I did that mostly I wanted her to fell bad for hurting me to the core. While I was sitting there drinking that nasty as hell wine and soda combo, I made a vow to myself and I kept it for most of my life.”
“What was that, never to mix wine and coke ever again?” inquires Alice.
“No, I wish it were that lighthearted………. I vowed to never,….. ever,…. ever love someone again, so much that I want to die if they weren’t a part of my life.” tears flow from Bette’s eyes. Tina squeezes her hand. “Can you give me a moment?”
“Sure” says Alice as she hands Bette a few tissues and pressing the intercom to the sound booth. “Susan pause the recording please.” Alice says as Tina takes Bette into her arms.
“Now Paused.” answers Susan.
“Well, I wasn’t expecting that to hit me like that.” Bette says with her chin resting on Tina’s shoulder and Tina gently rubs her back.
“Babe is not something you’ve talked about very much. But know this no matter what happened in our past I have and will always love you and only you.” she feels Bette shake her head yes in response.
“And I, only you.” Bette raises back up. “Now Weho is going to know me at a big crybaby.”
Tina turns to Alice who is witnessing the exchange “You can edit that out, right?”
“No, I don’t want them to edit it out.” says Bette. “I survived the pain. People need to know that they can press past heartbreak and a move on. Hopefully faster than I did of course. Let get back to this.” Bette composes herself.
“Susan let get rolling”
“Three, two and one.” signals Susan.
“So Bette said that you made a vow to not let yourself love again. Is that why the two of you didn’t work out back then, besides Tina’s need to explore the “straight” side of herself?

It was courageous of you to share your story with us. Things happen in our lives for a reason and they help shape who we are now. I wish you happiness and peace.
This is my first time leaving a comment. I enjoyed your story. I related to some of this story. Here’s to a new chapter and may your journey be an amazing one!
Thanks for sharing the story and wisdom “…They were a time of learning and preparation for the good to come in your life…” :-) very touching and encouraging. Well, you might be shy as you said, and I really don’t know you, but I believe that you are a brave one ;-) proven by sharing this story and openly telling this is based on your experience. Wishing you happiness and love.. :-)
You were brave to share a part of yourself with us. I can so truly relate to your story. I am 44 years old, and I have known of my attraction to women since I was about eight years old, but has never been with a woman, lead the so call normal life for about 10 years from the age of 14-24 and then just left the whole scene alone and decided to just be alone,not fair to men and too much drama with women. Good Luck to you. And yes please an update on “Stripper”, I love that story.
I’m glad that a number of you can relate to this story in some way. I know a lot of us read for pure entertainment and to escape a little bit. But I also like to read to gain a little insight sometimes. As a shy person, I tend to be very introspect, too much in my head. As you can tell by the way that I write :) So one day when that special woman comes into my life I hope that I don’t over think things too much. :) Thanks for the well wishes. I am looking forward to loving again, the right person. Best wishes to those who search as well.
How brave you are. It takes an amazing person to see themselves as clear as you do. Best wishes on your journey to your true self…I hope you find more happiness along the way.
It takes some courage to write the way you have. I hope you feel better for it! Your handle makes a whole lot of sense now and I too wish you the very best on the journey you have embarked on :0)
I wish you happiness.Thank you for this story.
WOW, I LOVED THIS STORY! Thank you so much! x
I see myself in your story. Thank you for sharing and making me see the light.
What an excellent story and how brave you are. Thank you for sharing with us.
Glad to see your post and WoW! Such fortitude and insightful story, revealing too! Perception of God, faith and love is a cause of many struggles and debates; thank you for sharing a glimpse in your journey. Any way to have realization sooner rather than later is great! Please don’t take long to update the other story.
Got to the end of the story and realized I was crying. I could insert my name for Tina’s… 3 kids, a 19-year marriage ending after my ex cheated, and a similar “Bette” in my past. Thanks for sharing your experience and I agree with you about not regretting the past. From one shy, over-thinker to another, I wish you love and happiness on your journey. I hope you find someone
hey it was a beatiful story, and thank you for shering that with us, I hope that you find love again.
Thanks
