Chapter 31
Bette sat near Rosanna on the couch and felt a loss for words. She didn’t know where to begin.
Seeing her struggle Rosanna prompted her. “Just talk to me honey; I can see that you are going through something.”
Bette sighed “Have you ever had a perfect love?”
“Depends on what you mean by perfect.” Rosanna responded slowly.
“Do you think that there can be someone whose love just seems to fit you perfectly? I mean you have your ups and downs but the love is indescribable, it fills you like nothing else ever did. There is a love there that nothing can touch.”
“Yeah, I know the kind of love you are talking about.”
Bette looked at her quickly. She felt a tinge of jealousy that Rosanna felt that for someone else. “It doesn’t happen often; at least it never happened to me before Tina.”
Rosanna took a sharp breath while she felt her stomach drop. The tension she witnessed earlier, Bette’s odd mood the past few days all made sense now.
Bette continued. “Tina left Henry, she’s asking me to try again and that has thrown me for a loop.”
“I can imagine. What do you want?” As painful as it would be Rosanna found she needed to hear it.
“I don’t know.”
“You do know, just say it.”
“I want that perfect love back. I want the family that Tina and I dreamed of and created. I want the hurt and pain that I caused and the one that I feel to heal.”
“So you want to try again with Tina.” Rosanna nodded slowly trying to maintain her composure. Bette was in enough turmoil and did not need her adding to it.
“Yes. I do. It’s not so…”
“I’m a big girl Bette; you don’t need to let me down easy. I knew from the start that you were still in love with Tina and once I met her I told you that I could see that she is still in love with you.”
“I did not say that I was still in love with Tina.” Bette protested.
“You were resigned to the “fact” that you could not be with her, there is a difference. Now you can.” Rosanna was ready to leave now. There was nothing left to say at least nothing that could make any difference given the circumstances.
“I didn’t think it was possible that I could fall in love again.” Bette hesitated before continuing. “It sounds adolescent I know but that’s the truth.”
“It’s not adolescent, not the kind of love that you are talking about” Rosanna said with some anger. “It’s quite rare and needs to be cherished.”
“Don’t you think I know that?” Bette’s own anger was rising.
“Then act like it and go to your woman!” Rosanna bit out.
“I can’t.” Bette said.
“You aren’t making any sense.”
“I didn’t think I could fall in love again but I did with you.”
“What?”
This old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep
If I choose now
I’ll lose out
One of you has to fall
And I need you
And you….

Well. I knew that was coming, and I’m still, sat here, all apprehensive. She’s not made her choice! And you’re only posting once! *whines* Keliiikaaaa, what are you doing to us? Okay, I’m done with my tantrum. Um… good post, but as you can see, kelika, I need more… thanks!
SHIT BETTE! NOOOOOOOOOOO. please think this thru and send ro away so you can decide without her influence.maybe angie can help with this question..p.p.s.
Yay!!! I’m so happy *doing my happy dance*, so that means that Bette and Ro will be together right? I sure hope so. I’ll calm down until we find out for sure that Bette picks Ro. Yet another great post, i’ve been hitting refresh all day hoping to see your story and your only doing one! Oh man, that bites ;P. Oh well thanks for the post and PPS.
Well I’m happy!!!!!!
i knew it was coming too…well, this sucks since i’m a tibetter
i didn’t mean the story sucks, but that there’s no tibette what what sucks…just thought i will make it clear :)
Hey, guys, no one said anything about no Tibette! That songs about someone who loves two people and is unable to choose… I still don’t know. I’m also still going with the whole “Ro and Tina duke it out” idea…
comeon! lol! how can bette talk about that rare love that she has with tina and then say she loves Ro and doesn’t want her to leave? heck even Rosanna is telling her to go get tina back. how could anyone pass up that rare love and family? my rant is over! pps!
YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
I don’t know even Angelica likes Sanna! Tina may have waited too long, urggh! Their love was special, but the split was so painful it may be hard to get back there. Tina left Bette in the harshest of ways at a personal low point. Their history is both Tina’s advantage and disadvantage. Advantage, Bette knows how good it can be, disadvantage she knows how caustic it can be. By the way, you have us spoiled, I’m already looking for another post tonight.
Rosanna represents a fresh start so I HOPE Bette is clinging to her for that reason more than any other. I also HOPE that she comes to her senses and stops trying to take the easy way out. Muster some courage and go back to Tina, Bette. The easy road is for chumps. [:P
The format is off…lol! I ride with Ro and Bette!
Your story is missing. I can only see the comments not the chapter.
WHAATTTTT…… There when I was thinking that Bette is going to make the right choice and get back with Tina…. Not happy were this is going (unless it ends with Bette and Tina)..
Just great. I am a big fan of Rosanna. She is so good for Bette. Curious where this is going.
no story just comments!!!!!! WHAAAAAA
Kelika, That was surprizing. Guess that Rosanna didn’t have enough faith in her and Bette’s connection. Rosanna has repaired Bette’s heart. Beautifully written. Please continue soon. Your Loyal Fan.
Like azmama, I can only see the comments…the story is missing. However, by reading the comments, I’ve come to the conclusion I’m in need of immediate heart surgery! Poor Tina…I often wonder if she would be hated as much as she is now,in FF and the series, if she had left Bette for a woman instead of a man.
I found the story…still fill the same! I give up!!! I can’t seem to get off this darn bus…guess I’ll remain on board until the very end! How about taking care of Tina now? They both deserve to be happy!
WHAT????????? NOOOOO!! *Sobs* :( ps.. love ur stories and ur writing but this broke by Tibette heart :( I wanna happy Tibette story pleaseeeee
Not happy! Its still great, but i’m not HAPPY with you.pps
