Before Bette spoke, she took a swallow of her freshly dispensed liquid courage.
“Tina, all Candace was to me in the beginning was someone who I just had sex with.” Bette took another gulp, “She meant nothing to me. She was just a woman who made a pass at me.”
“So, you’re saying you just got up and decided that you were going to have sex with the first person that made a pass at you?”
“No Tina, that’s not what I’m saying! Tina, we were going through so much. I couldn’t see you the same way since that night at The Planet.”
“What night, Bette?” Tina questioned.
“The night when Alice called me and told me I had better get down there. You looked me straight in the face and told me that we never talked about getting a black donor; and that you knew nothing about raising a biracial child. Do you know how much that hurt me, Tee?”
“What does that have to do with you cheating on me, Bette?”
“Tina I’m trying to tell you it wasn’t just one thing that led me there. There was the time that you told everyone except me that you were pregnant. I mean, yes I know I was so caught up in my work, but Tee, my job was on the line. How was I to support us and a baby if I was unemployed?”
“I’m so confused here, Bette. Please get the point.”
“Tina, I felt like you abandoned me. I felt that in all those years that you never got to know me.”
“Know you?”
“Yes–know me as a biracial woman. You got up and left me to fend for myself against my father.”
“What!?!???? Wait a freaking minute! It was YOU who told me that you didn’t need me to defend you! Don’t you remember Yolanda? And what about me? What about the way your father treated me? He wasn’t kind to me at all until he was on his death bed!”
“You know my father was stuck in his ways. He didn’t approve of my lifestyle. AND no matter how my father treated you Tee, I stayed with you. His view of you didn’t affect my feelings for you. Tina, what I’m trying to say is that Candace was there for me. She caught me at my most vulnerable moment. I tried to fight it off. Fight her advances, but she just kept on me. She knew what I was going through.
“Why, Bette–because she was BIRACIAL?”
“That was not all of it, Tina. The fact that she was biracial had nothing to do with me bonding with her.”
“Then why the FUCK, Bette?!”
“Because I felt like a failure.”
“Failure?”
“Yes. Things at work weren’t going well; things at home certainly were not. Then there was Candace. She eased the pressure I felt from you and work. She numbed me. But when you left, I didn’t know what to do.”
“Obviously you did. You spent a whole month with her. Then……….then you married the low down bitch!”
Bette gave Tina a look of anger. No way was she going to stand there and let Tina talk that way about her dearly departed wife.
Meanwhile, back at the hospital, the machine that was hooked up to Angelica went off. This noise alerted the nurses and doctors who were in the middle of prepping her for surgery.
“Get the defibrillator–she’s going flat!” the doctor yelled!

Oh michy I have missed you!!! Where have you been!! This one isn’t doing it for me though. Tina is demanding Bette talk to her about this stuff and then attacks her when she does…and its been how many years?? Apparently tina plans to hold on to the bitterness forever, but Bette doesn’t need it, especially as she is still grieving. PLEASE michy, repost all of there is no place like home…..please…I loved it…and say hello to snQQp..is she ever coming back around?
You little Devil,what a surprised but a very good one i do say so.i had forgotten about this one but im glad u didnt,thank god…save angie,please and whats up with bette she can dish it out but cant take it.bullsh*t babe.p.p.s.
So glad to see your Back!!!! Great Update!!!! Thanks PPVS
Thanks for the update Michellia! Please let Angelica be alright. I’m glad they’re talking, but Tina should let Bette explain things in her own way and stop interrupting her. More please!!!
Ahhh yes it is indeed a good day. I have missed this story very much….I hope you have started a trend and some others will return as well. As usual well written and emotion packed. More please.
Intense…=O
Welcome back with this story. Thanks for the update.
Hey Mich, Where the devil have you been? All I can say categorically it that you have been missed. Brilliant to have you back and carrying on with this black tale. Bette and Tina really sllugged it out in this chapter as the hurt and distaste from the past resurfaced in their present day meeting. This was so perfectly drawn as the connection between them is such that even after all these years the pain and distrust is still there and able to cause them to react so defensively. I do get a real bad feeling about Angelica but hope that I am wrong. Perhaps tending to their child can help rebuild and recover from the past. Their fate is in your hands. Please be gentle as they so belong together. Love the second time around gives you the desire and confidence to be yourself and trust your lover. Can’t wait to see what happens next so please don’t leave it so long again. Many thanks for coming back to the site and returning to this awesome adventure. Your Loyal Fan.
Whew! Talk about drama–and you and your cliffhangers! That was pretty low for Tina to say what she said about Candace! Is she really that bitter after all those years? And you know you’re in trouble if you kill off Angelica! Keep going with this one, baby, and soon! Don’t be like me and wait months in between posts!
yay your back great update pms
Whoa !!! Get you!!!! I waited and waited but you did it anywayz, thanks so much…curiosity was getting the better of me as u know from my PM. Now I’ll go read BRB
yeah go for it Bette…the Candace who married Bette really loved and cared for her…unlike sicko Henry who may have killed their daughter. Please let there be a miracle like Meredith on GREY’S ANATOMY…I couldn’t bear for Angel to die…they would never get back 2gether after that cuz Bette would hate T for bringing Henry into their lives. I liked Candace anyway…pleasz don’t take too long b4 u post huh? Again thank you.
Damn drama keep coming and please dont’ let Angie die, save her. Let B&T talk more, thanks!
