Bette
“Bette, you have to have some social life,” Alice said as she was trying to convince her to join them at Milk.
“You’re doing nothing except going to work, getting take-out for supper and going home. If Carolyn wasn’t here to handle lunch, you would probably have starved to death.”
They were sitting in Bette’s office at her gallery. Alice was perched on the edge of a chair across from Bette’s desk and Bette was leaning back in her chair, tapping her fingers against the chair arm.
The last thing Bette wanted to do was go to Milk. The drinking, the pulsating music, the foreplay–all made the air of the nightclub humid with *****. She didn’t know if she could face that right now. But could she face another nightby herself? That, too, was hard to stomach.
Since Tina had left her, Bette couldn’t shake feelings of hurt and frustration and she was trying hard to hide it because it made her feel weak and vulnerable. To cover it up she employed one of her common defense mechanisms—anger. And Bette could deal with anger better than most other emotions. Anger was strong, while hurt and frustration were weak. So Bette decided to indulge her anger.
On further reflection about Alice’s invitation, she thought perhaps Milk and ***** was just what she needed. Maybe she could pick up someone at Milk. She had certainly done that in the past and it was like riding a bicycle. You never forgot.
Tina had said that all Bette cared about was ***** and maybe she was right. Her time at the beach hadn’t helped as much as she had hoped. Getting laid might be just the thing for her. In the dark didn’t all women feel the same?
“OK, Al. What time should I be there?”
==========================================
Tina
A similar scene was being played out across town where Tina and Val were having lunch. At the very least, Val thought, Tina needed to be doing something where she could forget Bette for a few hours.
“Join Sue and me at Milk tonight,” suggested Val.
When Tina didn’t say anything, Val continued.
“We’ll ask our friend, Gracie, to join us.”
“No, Val. No matchmaking.”
“Don’t say ‘no’ that fast. Gracie is a very nice person–sweet, funny, pretty. Just a date. No expectations.”

Pancha, first off, let me just say, I love your writing. You bring out such strong & tender emotions in Tina & Bette. This story has me captivated. I can see already who will get the Fall award Thank You please continue soon
albeez hit this one on the head…you should have let Carrie knock some sense into her. lord…thanks for the post and can’t wait for more
wow pancha im barely catchin on to ur story i got lots to read!!
ok its time for bette and tina to quit pussy footing around they are acting like they are in highschool.its time for bette to use that yale education
and say i f im not in love with tina why am i getting jealous. duh thats because u are in love with her bette,
open your eyes.u know what bette is starting to annoy me.
Just enjoying your story. Thanks
I guess were making progress??!! Come on, Bette.
This is sad to see them like this, damn Bette got some moved that is protect Tina perfectly. Ok let see what’s next, thanks!
Bette is such a Neanderthal, well at least this Bette is…kind of funny to watch though…I’d like to see this drag out a bit longer, this back and forth struggle for bette looks good on her…
Bette’s hitting on another woman, yet she becomes furious when she sees someone else touching Tina.
Can we all say, “Dog in the manger”?
It’s stupid. It’s primitive. Not one of your finer moments. Bette, I can relate, sista gurl…
I’m just starting the story. I wonder who will be the puncher, and who the punchee? Bars, with their low lights and high spirits, are infamous for igniting conflicts of the volatile variety. Will Tina get a punch in? Does she have too much class for that?
…back to the story…
She was calling a woman out because she was dancing with her girl. Yet she cant tell Tina she loves her.She is so thick headed she could ram a brick wall down and not get hurt. thanks
glad to see your joining techie. good story. bette is one dense broad. needs to be hit with a 2 x 4. pancha is doing a good job reeling us in with her story. so keep up the good work. thanks.
i love this story so much!!! keep posting!!!
bette has a really thick skull doesn’y she?..i really like the way Tina’s heart and mind are in conflict..really smart!..great chapter(“,)
Wow, it’s a bit violent. I dunt fancy a violent Bette, although she controlled the situation, hoho. I hope Bette’s always gracious, sometimes cute and sometimes a bit clumsy.
But I admit at the first sight of your summary, I thought Tina might find a flirtatious Bette and offer her a punch, haha. I seem not to mind a violent Tina. And I found sometimes a strong Tina could be very cute. ;)
But still, it’s an excellent chapter as the others. Every time, I prayed in my mind it could be a 10-paged chapter, haha.
i really would want to read a 10-paged chapter from u too..! wow..it’s juz keep getting better!!!!
My mind – pancha should post more frequently…
My heart – and perhaps make the chapters longer…
Good chapter, loving your story, at first reading the summary, I thought punch was a drink being thrown… heh.
great as always..thanks
Pancha-nice very nice. Bette is as thick as a ton of bricks. Why doesn’t she just pee on Tina and get it over with. Tina loves it, that’s what she loves about Bette. These two will never get it right will they?
“T, I love you”… anger can be a liberating emotion at times.
Bette’s head is thick as a brick!
