Family Sunday
“She showed up on my doorstep…again.”
“What happened?”
“She explained the photos. I explained why I left. And that was basically it.”
“I told you it wasn’t what it looked like.”
“I know. And I believed you. But it was just emotional and I felt myself about to cry. And I didn’t want to do that. It had been a beautiful night. I didn’t want to ruin it.”
“I get that. Fuck. Everything is so messed up.”
“And it’s my fault.”
“Yeah, it is.”
Alice waited for a beat.
“But not completely your fault. Bette is being…well…Bette about this.”
Tina knew exactly what Alice meant. But she couldn’t really blame Bette for acting this way. Tina did walk out on her when she was literally on her knees begging for her to stay. She was still haunted by that image.
“I don’t want to talk about this. I need to go shopping.”
“Tee, it’s not even 7am.”
“What time does Family Sunday start?”
“Around Noon, I guess.”
“Okay. We have time. I just want to go to Luci Blu and pick up a couple of swimsuits. Real quick.”
“Nothing about you and shopping are real quick.”
Tina laughed.
“Come pick me up at 10. Please.”
“Fine. But I’m doing this under protest.”
“Noted.”
“And you’re going to buy me a big fucking cup of coffee.”
“Deal.”
“And a new swimsuit.”
“You’re pushing it, Al.”
“You just made Partner, Tee. You can buy me one little ol’ swimsuit.”
“Okay. Fine. And make sure you bring the jacket and outfit with you.”
“Umm. Hmph. You remembered that, huh?”
“Yep. I’m gonna go for a run. See you at 10.”
“I’m going back to sleep. See you around 10ish.”
Tina laughed.
“Thanks, Al.”
“Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.”

“You’re already swimming,” Shane said as she came through the gate.
Shane knew Bette had been in the pool for a little over an hour. She heard her when she first got in.
“I needed to clear my head before everyone arrives.”
“You mean before Tina arrives,” Shane said in her Shane way.
“Exactly,” Bette sighed.
“She hasn’t been here in a very long time. And the last time…”
“I know. I was here.”
“Yeah. I’m trying not to overanalyze everything.”

Great chapter!
Bette and AJ and together with Tina, he is so smart and adorable! Very clever from him to let them join him in the pool.
Bette is ready to try to rebuild their relationship and Tina comes with that line, “Things that will most likely break your heart…some more.”. But they have to make a clean start and this is necessary to put everything out and then away to never come back.
I’m sad the end is coming but also looking forward to the next chapter.
Thank you so much! I’ll be tackling a GenQ storyline when I’m done with this one. This my first attempt at fanfic and it has been such a privilege writing this story. When it’s all done, I’ll go back and read it from start to finish to see what I could’ve done better.
Bette is ready to rebuild but she’s also nervous. She portrays alpha but we know she’s fragile. So I’m excited to see how Tina navigates her fragility and how Bette hopefully starts to forgive her. But I don’t know. We shall see.
Next chapter is going to be a doozy for sure!
AJ is my absolute favorite. I kinda wish I wrote him as an orphan or something. I love the way Bette and AJ interact.
You are a great writer, your writing style is really good, don’t think you have to change anything. I especially love how you write their inner thoughts. The story flows and keeps you wanting more.
I adore AJ, maybe you can add him in your new story. Bette doing something for a orphan house, they meet and Bette and him bond immediately and Bette wants to adopt him, giving him the warm and loving home he deserves. I am adopted and it would be so great to read something like that. But whatever you’re new story will be about, i will certainly read it!
Geez they finally talk and so intense….
