Would She? Part 3
Henry pushed himself up from the table. “Yeah, sure.”
Tina had to remind him three times, and with each reminder she could feel frustration climbing into her voice. Annoyance seeping into her words.
“I’ll ask him today.” “I forgot.” “He’s been out sick.”
Excuses, that’s all they were. Henry was unsure now. The weather was warm, and his thoughts were muddled.
“Well did you ask?”
Henry had gone right to bed when he came from work. He was groggy when Tina came to bed and jumped all over him.
“Did you ask? I mean I need to know if I have to change the flight and hotel before we lose the dates.”
She hadn’t even said hello. Henry closed his eyes.
“How much is it?”
This trip was probably going to cost a fortune, he thought.
Tina was silent for a moment.
“Baby, this is my birthday gift to you,” she said, and her voice softened.
“All you need to do is show up.”
“I was sleep, Tina. Lets talk about this tomorrow,” Henry said before he pulled the covers over his head.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Tina had called Henry twice. He wasn’t home and he wasn’t answering his cell phone either.
She paced the floor.
Her head was beginning to hurt. Visions floating through her mind: Henry lying next to another woman. Henry kissing another woman. Henry touching another woman. Just like the images she had about Bette and Candace.
Tina shook her head against the implication of the memory. No, what she and Henry had was different. They belong together. She willed herself to believe that heart, mind and soul.
But the thought still tugged at her mind. She would never have believed that the problem wasn’t another woman, just a dead man.
Tina grabbed hold of her hair and tugged hard, as if pulling it out at the roots could pull the images from her head.
The phone rang, and she snatched it up.
“Hello,” she barked into the receiver.
“You called me?”
No hello or how you doing. Tina was incensed.
“Yes, I did. We need to talk, Henry. I’m feeling a little confused right now, and I’m very angry…………….”
“You always angry.” Henry’s voice was bored.
Tina sucked in as much air as her lungs could hold. She didn’t want to curse, she wasn’t one to really use words like that, but he was taking her there.

I realized reading this, that you’ve taken a back to what we knew before, but have added a bit more. Great job. Love the way this keeps pulling us in more and more. Forget Henry and Jamaica, Tina should go alone and Bette should be there.
Love how you take up from the present to the past and back. Henry is still a numbnut. and Tina a little bit wackie. Bette seems to be Just Bette. thanks
Agree whoheartedly with coop and bettyvhall. Gald to see this story back. Thanks.
Glad to see u started up this fic again. It is truely remembered and was wondered about. I hope you continue u it until the end this time. I am going to make the same comment I made when I first read this fic, and it is the same as coop. Forget Henry, sorry Candace died, but it is time for Bette and Tina to get back together and what better place than Jamaica. Let them both find HEALING and LOVE again!!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
Is it me or does this Tina seem a little…I don’t know (shaking my head) can’t put my finger on the word I am looking for, but she just doesn’t seem herself. I can’t tell if she actually is in love with Henry and happy with him, or if she is just trying to convince herself of that because she is still in love with Bette. That whole part about her being addicted to Henry confused me. Looking forward to the next chapter. Thanks!

It seems to me that Tina is trying to convince herself that she loves Henry, and she really just doesn’t want to go through another failed relationship. I don’t know, she seems a bit off right now. I’m glad Bette found a life and a family and contentment, but, somehow, I can’t help wishing they will find each other at some point.

Thanks for all the recaps…question…If Henry isn’t cheating…is he dying…I mean something is up. Maybe he can meet Candace in another life (I know that was cruel…but hey that’s me…lol) Tina does seem not all there but that must be the guilt she has for almost destroying Bette’s life…for what she did to her she dosen’t deserve to have memories of Bette…if she left Bette for Henry that was her decision we have to live with that…but she stripped Angelica out of Bette’s life…that was uncalled for. Keep posting.
“Tina you have brought Bette to bed with us for years. She has been in OUR life’s to long.” This one says it all, you actually can feel it when you’re lovers body is with you but her mind is elsewhere. Loved this story then, love it even more now. Thanks for sharing it again.
Just as good as the 1st time around. Tina needs to wake up and catch a clue; when they start acting like Henry is, it means the honeymoon has been OVER!!
I hope Tina and Bette both can be happy again a some point. I so love this story. Thanks PPS
