Bette bit her lip to stifle a cry that emanated from deep within her heart. How could Tina do this to her?
Bette broke out in a cold sweat as her mind raced. Instinct kicked in and demanded that she leave. The axis her world turned on snapped and life was suddenly spinning out of control.
Turning away she hurriedly retraced her steps to the hotel entrance. Having wordlessly shoved her ticket at the valet guy she stood in agony waiting for them to locate her car and bring it around. She fought to keep her emotions in check, to keep the tears at bay.
Sitting in the car outside their home Bette tried to recall anything of the 15 minute drive from the hotel. She remembered nothing.
Bette stormed into the house, her heart still hammering in her chest, hurting, aching from the sight of her lover in someone elses arms. She stalked into the kitchen and pulled a crystal tumbler off the shelf with her left hand while her right lifted the first bottle she could find from the liquor cabinet.
She half filled the glass with a single malt and drank it quickly. Gasping as the scotch burned its way down her chest she shakily placed the tumbler on the bench.
Her mind was locked on the images of that man touching her wife. Who the ***** did Greg Coulton think he was? Jesus, had Tina lost her mind? Had they been playing her for a fool all this time?
Ill take on Greg Coulton and his army any day Bettes promise to Tina came back to haunt her in the silence of the kitchen. That day had come and Bette hadnt fought, shed run.
Bette suddenly felt like a coward. She prided herself on never backing down, never rolling over. What shed witnessed was simply too much for her to bear. So she fled, leaving her lover in Greg Coultons embrace.
Jesus, did she want me to see that? Bette wondered out loud.
Tina had invited her to the function. Was this Tinas way of telling her that she wanted out of their marriage? After all the times she had raised her concerns about Greg Coulton and Tina had dismissed each and every one of them. This was one time that Bette didnt care to be right.
Was Tina trying to punish her for her infidelity? Had she suddenly decided that revenge was somehow justified?
Bette poured another drink and hoped that it might begin to take effect. She moved to the lounge unsure of what to do next.
Hot tears finally spilt over as her heart was torn by sorrow and rage. She wiped them away with an unsteady hand but more coursed down her cheeks as she struggled to make sense of what shed seen. It didnt add up. After all theyd been through to salvage their relationship, why would Tina throw it all away?
If Tina wanted Greg Coulton then Bette determined that she would not run after her like some jealous teenager through the corridors of a hotel. Eventually Tina would have to come home and Bette would be waiting.
As the hours wore on and the alcohol took hold Bettes theories became increasingly melancholic. In the early hours of the morning she collapsed into bed alone, her body finally succumbing to a deep and dreamless sleep.

What the hell? Who is Clara, and what was Tina doing with Greg???
You’ve turned the angst-meter on full blast, haven’t you, Hackgirl????
Come back soon and explain yourself. We’ll be waiting.
WTF was that… talk about the shit going to hit the fan… come on you can’t leave us like this…please post soon
OMG, my stomach dropped….the angst. This is almost as bad as when I thought Bette was on the plane that crashed. I’m sitting on the edge of my chair…awaiting the next chapter and hopefully an explanation.
hey, Bette thought that was Tina, right???? And who pray tell is Clara?? I hope it’s no one important. So now the drama unfolds, with lots of graphic make up love scenes……..right???????
OK makes me think it’s Greg’s girlfriend, not Tina b/c we don’t know what Tina is wearing. Hmmmmm.. No matter. Tina wouldn’t do that. Not my Tina. LOL… Great chapter..
[aka a lword fan girlfriend]today is my 1 month wedding anniversary.my wife told me to stay away from your story because it was gonna break my heart like PIKAGIRL story broke her heart.i couldn’t and i didn’t stay away because i love this story.didn’t see this coming.but i know you will make it right SOON. i love your writing hackgirl because these situations happen in the real life.
oy. ok so you got me–i’m all bent out of shape. i love how you keep the tension going in your stories. one loaded encounter after another. it’s so much fun.
OMG HackGirl you have really raised the bar on the drama meter today!!! I am waiting to see where this all will lead to. Please post again soon. I really love your story… Thanks so very much for writing.
I’m just going to agree with techgal, and then anxiously await the next installment.
Blackjuice – happy anniversary! Sorry I didn’t have something happier to offer on the day. Pika’s story was/is (come back Pika!) a work of art – she is incredibly talented. But this is a different story and B & T are on a different journey. I hope you’ll hang in there and see where this ends up.
Damn you! I love your writing, but hate the pit-as-big-as-the-Grand-Canyon that seems to settle in my stomach every time I read one of your chapters. You like hurting me, don’t you?
You’re smoking today. Tina must be riled because Bette did not show up until 8:30 probably thinking she’s with this Clara person. There has to be an explanation for both – Tina being so affectionate toward Greg & Bette’s dinner with Clara resulting in the flowers & note? Yummy story! Can’t wait for the next installment…Thanks!
What!?! NOOOOOO….
Have to tell you my friend, that really cut to the core. Didnt see that coming? I cant stand Greg, Why would she kiss an idiot?
Okay, just when I thought it was safe. I bet Tina doesn’t follow through. Will she…oy, the angst!
Thanks Hack,You made my day just by posting twice today.And I will see this story to the end just like my wife did with Pika story.[hurry back Pika]
WTF! Karma, what goes around comes around, HEH ! Never saw it coming tho!! OHH, Dyke Drama.

Okay I’m back WHOA! what’s going on HackGirl OMG this is NOT good at all yeah who the HELL is Greg is that Tina BF before I think so I’m not really sure okay next chapter Please.
OMFG!!!!! You just sent me off the deep end!
Ah. Man. Whats up with this?
Tina shouldn’t jump to conclusions and if it isn’t Bette neither should she. Tina is going to be sorry if she sleeps with Greg because I don’t think Bette cheated with Clara.
HackGirl,
You have done it yet again. The rug has been completely pulled from under our feet.
I am astounded by this turn of events.
Was it T that Bette saw? Is this Tina’s pay back for Clara’s bouquet? When will the gals just sit down and talk to each other rather than jusp to conclusions after a minutes observation.
It is good to talk and I am sure that you will have them doing that at some point. Just get the feeling that there is likely to be a load of shouting and screaming and storming off.
Your talent is just pouring off the screen. Love your work. This is a roller coaster ride that I’m getting white knuckled about. What a thrill it is but does have my stomach churning by equal measures.
Awaiting your next post.
A loyal fan.
wow..too explosive!!okay okay,cool down……but WTF was that?!?!c’mon don’t leave us like this…post ASAP!!!
Ok a few things I need you to clear up for me, number 1 who the fuck is Clara, number 2 why didn’t bette lay into Greg and number 3 WHAT IN THE HELL IS TINA DOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Please post soon I need answers!
Talk about choppy waters…this is more like “A Perfect Storm”…really well written and high on white water.
Ouch! That’ll be a bruise! What the…I don’t even want to try and figure this out. I’m emotionally drained from catching up on all these wonderful (but often depressing) fanfix! Hackgirl, you’ve got some splainin’ to do, K? Please post soon and help keep me from poppin’ a big dose of Prozac!
