“Let’s see,” began Kit.” You are together every weekend and many of the days in between. When you’re not together, you’re on the phone. You’ve taken her away for romantic weekends, you think she loves you, and you have a goofy look on your face when you talk about her. You’ve been with her, what, four months? Isn’t that a Bette Porter record?”
Bette started to say something, but stopped and looked at Kit.
“If you don’t love her, what are doing with her? Using her?”
This comment stung Bette. She hated criticism but it was even more galling when it was accurate.
“She’s so attractive,” explained Bette.
“You mean sexually.”
Bette nodded in agreement.
“Lookyou’ve enjoyed lots of bed partners and have never had any problems finding them. So move on.
Kit realized it was time to talk to Bette like a grown woman, which she was. She was so sharp in so many ways, but she hadn’t seen much love. She had lost her mother when she was young and their dad was not much for paternal love and Kit knew this all too well. Trying to get Melvin Porter’s love and approval was like being the greyhound chasing the rabbit around the dog track. As hard as you ran, the rabbit was always out of reach.
“Bette, maybe you’re in love with her.” As Bette shook her head, Kit continued. “You haven’t been in love before, so maybe you don’t recognize it.”
Kit put her hand on Bette’s when she began to stand up and she sat back down.
“What did you expect me to say to you? That it’s fine to ***** some nice woman who’s crazy about you when you don’t care for her. Is that what you expected?”
“NonoI don’t know what I expected.”
“Well, here’s my advice, grown-up sis. If there is no future, let her know; break up with her. Break up before she can be hurt even more badly.
“I don’t want to lose her.” managed Bette.
“Then start making a life with her.”
“Bette, look at me.” Kit waited until Bette met her eyes. “You are very experienced with *****, but with love, you’re a virgin.” Bette’s eyes flashed with frustration. “Think very hard about how you feel about Tina. If you truly don’t love her, do what’s right for her.”
As she drove away, Kit thought that Bette might be in love, but was too inexperienced and too afraid to admit vulnerability. And Bette’s experience with her family had taught her that she could really get hurt if she were vulnerable.
As she drove away, Bette was so distracted by what Kit had said that she had to force herself to watch the road. She wasn’t ready to come to grips with her feelings because she didn’t know what they were. She really liked Tina, really liked. She didn’t think she could give her up. Not now, anyway. Why couldn’t things go on just as they were?

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
