A West Hollywood restaurant
“Bette Porter, as I live and breathe.”
Bette looked up from the table, smiling because she had instantly recognized Gillian’s voice. Bette stood up and they hugged and kissed. On Bette’s invitation she joined her at the table.
Jill was in LA for a while and talked to Bette about her new exhibit. She wouldn’t be in town for the actual show, but Bette offered her a job as a consultant to help her prepare the gallery. She had such a great sense of how to use space.
They ordered lunch and ate as they enthusiastically discussed the upcoming show. Jill was familiar with the artist and with Bette’s gallery and so was already giving her ideas.
“I’m sorry you can’t be here for the show.”
Me, too, darling.”
They both chose to skip dessert and ordered coffee instead.
“I remember how you take it,” smiled Jill preparing to fix Bette’s coffee. “Blond and not sweet,” she said as she poured cream into Bette’s cup.
“The story of my recent life,” Bette said ruefully.
“So, do you want to tell me about it?” Jill said.
“You’ve heard?”
“This is a very small world. I hear you two broke up.”
“Actually, she left me.”
“Yeah, I heard that.”
“Well.”
“Do you want her back?”
“She doesn’t want me back.”
“Not my question.”
“Yeah, I want her back. But she’s not interested in what I can give.”
Gillian saw the sadness in Bette’s eyes and reached out and put her hand over Bette’s hand. Jill looked at her former lover for a few moments, not saying anything.
“I’m truly sorry. Can I help in any way?”
Before Bette could answer she felt someone grip her shoulder tightly.
“Hello, Bette,” said Tina as Bette looked around. Tina shifted her eyes from Bette to Gillian’s hand over Bette’s. When Jill withdrew her hand, Tina’s eyes went back to Bette.
Tina had stopped at this restaurant for lunch because it was one of her and Bette’s favorites. As soon as she sat down, she saw Bette and Gillian. She instantly recognized the red-head with Bette as the girlfriend Bette had before her She was gorgeousand they were talking with such enthusiasm.
So Bette was moving on, Tina thought. Well, that was her prerogative. They weren’t together any more, so why shouldn’t she?

“JUST IN CASE SOMEONE CALLS’ That is so sad, What is wrong with Porter? Does she ever see beyong herself? thanks
Go Jill! You da women!! Tell her like it is… Bette needs to figure stuff out fast and become the determined person she once was, now turn that energy towards Tina.
I’m loving it!!
Obviously the current situation is a torture to both Bette and Tina. But it is not to me at all. I sort of enjoy their push-and-pull game. =P Sorry, Tibette. Well done and more please, pancha.
i thought we were supposed to get over the fact that were not the center of the universe at about 20. come on bette grow the hell up already. tina, hmmmm. must be hard when theres a porter waiting. thanks.
Aww c’mon now T ya know who you want to call Bette don’t cha? Good stuff is afoot for B&T I just know it… Post soon pancha I love your story, Hopefully T will be ok with all of those anxiety meds…Huh?
bette wld have totally flunked the SAT on love….i agree with pandora007, ‘love is a bitch’…it can be the greatest feeling in the world, but it stirs up all the other ones as well..(am i making sense?!)…anyhoo..post soon(“,)
Such a struggle. Love is more than words, and Bette whether she says them or not loves Tina.
i love to see to people who are in love so pig headed, tina knows she wants to be with bette and vice versa so i say swallow your pride and just do it.
Tina needs to give Bette another chance, why is she puting her self through this…make the call Tina. I need some lovin..lol. Always reading pancha..please post another soon.
Yes, Tina needs to give Bette another chance, but Bette should continue to put forth an effort to show Tina that she LOVES her. Bette should go over to Tina’s apartment and tell her that she just wanted and needed to see her…
Alright!!! Making a move in the right direction. We are getting there ;-)
awww yay!!! just go over there and show up …member bettes alone!! yay for hjill to for saying no!! lol ok byeness<33
This is sad to see them like this. Ok maybe Jill tell Bette to call Tina or come to her apartmant and take Tina home. Ok post soon please, thanks!
well pancha im totally up to date!! awesome is call i gotta say!! waitin for u next
“…just in case someone called. “
Not just any ‘someone’, I’m assuming? ;-)
1st! yeah!
ok, now the real comment… yeah right, ‘in case someone called’… just go for it Tina, call bette..
post the next chapter soon!
“Come home.” “Think about coming home. Just think about it….” “Tina knew if she phoned Bette and asked to come home…”
While I love the idea of it, were they ever living together before the breakup? Is ‘home’ a chunk of real estate in Weho, or a state of mind they have come to dwell in together? My belief is it’s the latter. I seem to remember Tina avoiding the term, ‘home’ in order not to scare Bette off. Now Bette is the one using that term freely!
Love Bette’s offer to Gillian. It would be inauthentic of the Bette character to totally pine away sexually. But I’m glad that Jill is so insiteful . She’s wise as well as beautiful. Can I get her ten digits? (I’m in a different area code)
So, progress is being made in the domestication of Bette Porter. I’m thoroughly enjoying the process. Tina left her. That must be a whole new world for Bette! I love this story.
This is one of the most romantic stories on the site. I look forward to reading it every day.
Thanks!
love is a bitch huh?..dont call her Tina..have some pride woman..
Glad you posted,this one of my fav stories at the mo so post again soon plz
Thanks for posting!
so…bette is still wrapped up in her own world??
don’t go breaking… don’t go breaking.. don’t go breaking my heart.. common tina you yourself knew that bette’s doesn’t do relationship from the beginning. Give her a second chance didn’t you see she’s trying.
