She had learned the best times of day to call, the times when Kit was the most likely to be sober. When she caught a drunk Kit on a phone call, she was extremely cautious because Kit picked fights and could be very mean. Bette said as little as possible and tried to get off the phone quickly. She had learned how to protect herself and distance herself
The mature Bette usually drank wine or beer. She rarely drank hard liquor because she had, so many times, smelled it on Kit’s breath. Smelling it in a glass or on someone else’s breath was disturbing because it reminded her of bad times with Kit.
When Bette heard Kit’s voice today, she knew Kit was sober. Of course, she might not be when they met for dinner because night was the time that the drinking was usually the worst. But Bette wanted to see Kit and decided to take the chance.
————————————–
When Bette got to the restaurant, Kit was there and Bette could tell almost immediately that Kit had not been drinking. But there was one more hurdle to clear.
If Kit said, “Do you mind if I have something to drink?” she would drink throughout the meal and there would be trouble. Bette had noticed that people who did not have drinking problems ordinarily did not ask this question.
But Kit didn’t ask that question and Bette relaxed. They drank water with their meal.
They caught up on what the other had been doing, thoroughly enjoying each other’s company. Kit promised to see Bette’s new exhibit which was still up. Bette promised to come and hear her sing.
Even though their relationship had been composed of some hits and many misses, they understood each other. And could usually read each other.
“So, what’s on your mind, baby girl?” Kit asked as they were finishing the main course. She had known that Bette needed to talk when she first saw her eyes at the restaurant. If Bette was relieved that Kit was sober, so was Kit.
She liked helping Bette and hoped that some day she would see Bette look at her again with eyes filled with admiration. She was ashamed that she had failed Bette so often.

Pancha thankyou for this wonderful story. I think all us fans of L Word, will be more interested in fan fiction stories, If spoilers & rumors are true. Enjoy your writing
Kit said something very true when something comes easy not just Bette but most everyone dont give the worth and value and sometimes it need to lose to see how much someone worth and how worng you were and Bette maybe is one of those peoples and Kit said little but said enough about Bette stop playing with Tina if is not what she wants…ok i only ask you a thing dont break Tinas heart..lol..another amazing chapter post soon thanks a lot :o)
exactly strtgirl1. IC is killing her show it seems.
pancha. excellent. poor bette. does she need a lab class in love. she cant give her up, well why would that be??? what a doof. but shes not a yalie for nothing. thanks.
Good chapter. Kit is great, she know how to tell you about your feeling. Now all Bette do is show Tina she love her and ask Tina to move in with her. Ok let see what’s next, thanks!
” And Bette’s experience with her family had taught her that she could really get hurt if she were vulnerable.”
Good observation!
heehee, I hope Bette will try to break up with Tina and then realize she is in love with her already. Haha, shouldn’t affect you. Please go on. =)
Pancha, I love this story. Bette indeed does not recognize love when it is starring her right in the face. That’s what happens when one does not or has not felt that kind of love before.
If I haven’t commented yet, then let me please tell you, that I have been reading every chapter, and am truly enjoying this story. You have captured Bette’s struggle with her feelings, and maded them very real, and honest. Thanks!!
Just caught up with the last few chapters, love this story. Poor Bette,first love and she doesn’t even know it. It’ll come to her, maybe at Milk someone will flirt with Tina and then BAM she’ll get it. Thank God for you guys that write for fan fic, cos without you I don’t know what we’d do, and if S3 turns out to be even 1/2 of the crap we’ve been reading will be tuning in here on Sunday nights instead.
Kit’s words really hit home. Bette is too afraid to admit her own feelings….throw some light to her. Bette need to see what she’s feeling. great one,pancha..great one.
Pancha, this chapter was kind of therapeutic in some ways…you touched on alot of the things that I have struggled with in my own life when it comes to love and life. I hope Bette will be able to recognize that the feelings she has for Tina go deeper than anything she has ever experienced before and she should continue to explore and embrace those feelings. Thanks for this smart and insightful chapter!
very realistic portrayal of Bette’s struggle with the L topic. thanks and am looking forward to more.
Bette needs to go and Class101 in love. If she love Tina tell her if not let her go before Tina get really hurt. thanks
