With that, she hung up, and turned to Tina, who was looking on inquisitively. "Tell me again why we put up with her?"
"Because she might be annoying as hell, but she’d put her ass on the line for any of her friends," Tina said simply.
"That’s true," Bette agreed, before her phone rang again. She glanced at Tina, then answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Good afternoon. May I speak with Bette Porter, please?" It was Alice again, only this time affecting a more formal tone.
"Speaking," Bette said, despite herself smiling her amusement, motioning for her and Tina to continue walking to the hotel.
"I would like to inquire about your current location," Alice continued. "It has come to my attention that you are currently in North Carolina."
"That would be correct," Bette replied, shaking her head at Tina, who looked at her as if she’d lost her mind. "To what do I owe the honor of your call, Alice?"
"I would wish to remind you that your girlfriend, in California, is not pleased about being stood up for lunch, and that the woman you’re playing hooky with has already hurt you plenty of times before." Alice reminded.
"In which case please remind Jodi that she knows fully well why I’m not in California, and that it’s not my fault she made assumptions about what I think and feel." Bette returned, falling back to let Tina walk ahead, and also to keep Tina from hearing the conversation. The last thing the blonde needed was to hear what Alice had to say.
"Please forgive my French, but are you fucking kidding me, Bette? What are you doing all the way there with her?"
"This is a personal matter, Alice, and none of your business." Bette replied.
"Your kid is with Helena Peabody! She’s barely able to raise her own children, and you left your pride and joy with her? And why couldn’t you take her with you? Want to spend some time alone with a certain blonde who shall remain nameless?"
"Alice, I mean it, this is none of your business." Bette said firmly.
"Have you already forgotten what she did to you?"
"I assure you, Alice, I haven’t forgotten."

Loved the update…. Alice is a blast!
So is it possible that jodi will no longer be the girlfriend of Bette Porter? Alice must always have her nose in everybody’s life. I know that she is protecting Bette, but maybe she needs to protect Bette from jodi.
I just have one thing for Jodi…Na.na.na.na…Na.na.na.na…hey.hey.hey…good bye! Tiff with that one little word “had” you made my day! Wonderful dialogue with Alice…great quipping back and forth!
Yayy Bette said Had, Alice is crazy and Bette gonna kick her ass if she keep calling and bother her lol. Now let see more of B&T, please post more, thanks!
“Had.” Bette corrected…What???? …I’m not Marvin Gaye, but I need to know what’s going on. Thanks!
Very Funny & so Alice. PPS.
Had sounds very nice! it’s good to be back to the site and catch up with your story!
was that a Had …???
Tiff, feel free to use my favorite 4-letter word (especially when it comes to Jodi)…N-E-X-T!. Bring on Tibette!BTW: Are we going to see smack down between Bette and Cathy? Nothing speaks love louder then some action. Stand up for your woman, Bette!
Though you had my eyes widen at Bette’s use of “had,” I’m not gonna jump for joy just yet, because I did recall this little bit in the last chapter – “”Just trust me.” Bette said, already in the process of blocking out memories of a more recent camping trip with her girlfriend and said girlfriend’s friends.” However I will hope that Jodi is if not already, then very soon will be out of the picture!! Great update & PPVS :)
Alice, Alice, Alice….pipe down and mind your own business for once. You know deep down Bette is exactly where she needs and should be…with the love of her life. Now they just have to figure out how to put it back together again. Bye bye Jodi. :) PPS
I do love the fact that Bette said “HAD.” Oh wow, that means they had broken up before Bette left town. Yea!!!!!! Good riddance to jodi, Bette does not need her in her life. She is so wrong for Bette. Let the aliens take her off somewhere, never to be heard from again. Tina and Bette love and need each other so much along with their baby. I only wish Tina had heard all of that conversation. That might give her a little hope. Maybe Alice will pick up on what Bette said. Alice should know there is no need to defend jodi as she is defenseless and brought it on herself. YES!!! Thanks for posting.
“had” – magic word!!! Ok, if Bette has not already broken up with Jodi, please make it brief (still scarred by “the longest breakup ever!). Tiff, will go the distance with you in their road to reconciliation. PPS!
Capatal, thank you for continuing to write. Bye Jodi
The worst thing about Alice is that you can’t hide anything… and it’s also the best thing. Just as well Bette let Tina walk ahead out of earshot, though. The use of that three-letter-word might have set up a conversation they’re not ready to have… or are they? Thanks for the post, tiff. :)
Hello TD, I am back and ready to post my comments on this awesome adventure. WHy do I get a sense that Bette is not being completely honest with Tina about her relationship with Jodi. Bette seems to be suggesting that it is done and dusted. Does Jodi know this or is she stupidly ignoring the reality and pretending that they are still a couple. Alternativelyl has Bette really finished it with Jodi. It could be that in her head, Bette has made this decision but avoided saying it out loud with Jodi. Bette is being very supportive of Tina during this tough time. Having lost her parents without ever being truly accepted for who she is, is a sore spot on Bette’s psyche. Perhaps by getting Tina to talk to her Mom and come to terms with the fallout might be a redemptive process for Bette. It looks like Tina’s Dad is able to be honest with his child and accept her for who she is. I just can’t wait to see how this all plays out. More please. many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Hey – Bette said had – oh man! Did something happen that we don’t know about. (doing happy dance :D) Great update. Thank you!
Wow, Bette is speaking of her relationship with Jodi in the past tense…it sounds like she’s been doing some thinking during her time with Tina. It’s definitely a step in the right direction! I hope she breaks it off with Jodi before anything develops between Tina and her.
seems we noticed ‘HAD’ more than the F word you were talking about! lol well, i hope that means we got rid of Jodie without having to read about it :) great stuff, tiff!
Hum, what a blockbuster chapter ending you HAD there, haha! I’m hoping this means your Bette has decided to disentangle herself from Jodi. I’m sorry, but I don’t find Alice amusing here – I find her overbearing and obnoxious. She seems to have forgotten that Tina is her best friend, too. Thanks for this chappy, Tiff!
Hmmm…I agree it is getting “better now”! Alice needs to be put in her place & stop reminding Bette of Tina’s past behaviour! PPS!
Your take on Alice is quite possibily more brilliant than the original.
If it’s “had”, why did Jodi put on a floor show at the Planet?
As always great chapter. So glad you are writing again. Looking forward to more.
No no no you cannot leave it at “had”please. Tjis ios killing me . I don’t know about you guys but Bette and Alice telephone converstation was wicked. I couldn’t stop laughing and I am still laugh just thinking about it. OMG that was soooo funny Oh Gosh I love it lol. PPVS very very soon
funnyone-howd ya know that i LOVE floor shows. i do love the word ‘had’ when it comes to jodi. this was great. thx
Get rid of Jodi already. She so did not deserve our Bette. Go on MacDuff w/B & T. PPS.
