    Why do birds…

    Chapter 8

    Bette was still on the search for words… her mind filled with erratic thoughts…

    “You know Peggy… it´s not easy for me to talk about my private life…” she said after a moment.

    “DAH… really? You know Bette, I´ve known you for years… and every single time I´ve asked you about your love life, your answer has always been “well, you know me” which in time led me to think that you actually have no love life, and I understand it… but yesterday… oh yesterday I saw something I´ve never seen in a long… long time.”

    “Well to tell you the truth I haven´t felt like this since…”

    “Since Winnie, right?” Peggy interrupted her.

    Bette lowered her eyes, she suddenly felt ashamed of being so exposed to someone.

    “Oh Bette, Bette…“ Peggy said barely shaking her head from side to side.

    “I know…“

    “No… you don´t know… you can´t possibly know if you don´t allow yourself to explore the possibilities… you will not know what might happen if you don´t take the chance… like you didn´t with Winnie…”

    “Peggy, you and I, both know that that was different…”

    “Different how… because you had been in love with her since the two of you were in college and in the name of not braking a friendship you never said a thing… and then it was actually you who introduce her to my daughter, and in this very same house may I add? Bette… you are amazing at reading people… if you are doing business with them. Not in a personal level… you are blind as a bat when it comes to love.”

    “No… no… that´s where you are wrong… I´m not blind when it comes to love.”

    “No, I´m not wrong… why do you think Helena holds so much against you? Because she knows you were in love with her ex?”

    “Probably…”

    “See? Wrong… it was Winnie who told Helena that she had been in love with you for a long time, and that the only reason she started dating my daughter was to get over you, because obviously you were not the least bit interested in her… otherwise you would have said something… you would have noticed how much in love she was with you”

    1. Wonderful chapter – gettin set straight by the Peabodys is something to read. I love your story but Bette attracted and in love with Winnie that is making my imagination really have to stretch.

    2. Anne I fully expect you to begin writing in your sleep if you think this chapter is an “autopilot” type of update. Great twists on the characters as we know them from the L-Word – Bette and Winnie!! We’ll be waiting when you can post!

    3. Wow, amazingly, what Helena said did make sense ! As for Bette and Winnie’s “past”, I didn’t see that one coming. Great twist ( if I may call it that ) ! Way to go, Anne ! This is all very enjoyable and smart. Je réitère : j’aime vraiment beaucoup cette histoire. C’est très joli et l’approche est très astucieuse.

    4. Man this is getting good. I hope that the talk goes well. It looks to me like Ms. Porter and Ms. Kennard have something in common, a major connection to each other.

    5. Now we know why Helena hates Bette. Damn. Well, I’m glad we haven’t heard that Bette is a homewrecker. Although, I think her taste has improved considerably from Winnie to Tina. I hope that Bette is over Winnie, though, because it would be horrible if Tina steps outside of the box to be with Bette and she hurts her with residual feelings for another woman. Can’t wait for some more B/T alone time next chapter. PPS.

    6. I understand why Helena hates Bette, I would too. But yeah, she’s not a homewrecker so thats always nice. I wonder what Tina is going to say to Ms. Porter…hmmm? PPS

    7. I knwo you said you mightn’t be able to post for a alittle while, and that’s fair enough but hurry soon? Can’t wait to see what B&T have to say to each other!

    8. Glad to see Helena put her own personal feelings aside in order to help Tina understand. Maybe someone should let her know, that Bette was never aware of how Winnie felt about her. NOw lets get to the beach and that talk, maybe not too much talk.

    9. Tense moment. Yay helena acted like a grown up instead of a whinny brat. Helena has a right to be upset, but it should be at Winnie not Bette. Bette can’t help it that she is soo blind when it comes to matters of the heart and she never made any moves on Winnie. PPS
