“Can I tell you something?” asked Bette.
“You can tell me anything.”
“I just want to run away with you. I want to swim in a crystal blue ocean with you. I want to tour the finest museums in Europe. Explore the Australian outback with you by my side. Sleep beside you every night,” said Bette.
Tina swallowed thickly, her head was swooning. “You want all of that with me?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Bette, you’re so sweet. I don’t – – – I don’t know what to say.”
“You don’t need to say anything. I’m just telling you what I want. What I desire. I refuse to mess that up because I fuck everything up dealing with my wife. And Tina?”
“Yes, Babe.”
Bette spoke quietly. “She’s still my wife. I have to handle this.”
Tina sighed. “I really – – – I really want to see you, Bette.”
“And you will. This situation, missing you as much as I do, it’s a great motivator for me to move quickly and get my life in order.”
Tina replied quietly. “Why do you have to be so damned level-headed?”
Bette smiled. “I don’t know. But I do know that I have big plans for you and me.”
“That makes me feel better. How um…how is everything going for the show?”
“Despite the obvious setbacks, it’s going pretty well. My team and I are in sync and moving forward. James is a godsend. I’m going to have a rush print job set up for tomorrow so that all of the programs, signage, and decorations will be ready. We’ll finish the complete layout on Sunday. I’m doing an artist final walkthrough on Monday. Tuesday is the last day to make any changes. And then come Wednesday, the evening kicks off with the artist dinner for special guests and high-end donors. The doors open for everyone at 7:45pm.”
Tina smiled. “You sound well-prepared. I’m in awe of you. Are you nervous at all?”
“Yes,” Bette replied quickly. “This will be the first opening I’ve ever done without Sidney by my side.”
“I know you’re worried. But you’ll be fantastic. I have no doubt.”
Bette swallowed thickly. “Tina, if you’re not busy…would you be my date for Wednesday evening?”
“Does that mean we’re not taking a break?”
Bette cleared her throat. “No, we should still take a break, T. At least that’s what I think. But let me hear what you think.”
Tina leaned back in her chair and tried to picture Bette speaking to her. “I want to see you. I want to spend the night with you. I want to hold you and make you feel safe and secure. But it’s too hard for me to start and stop with you. If I see you, Bette, it’ll just make me feel worse.
“And for the record, I do agree with you. I think we should take the time to just…sort out anything that might keep us apart or set us up to fail.”
Bette replied, “So, you don’t want to be my date.”
“Babe, I would love to be at your side. But I can’t do that if we are really taking this time apart. It will be too hard on me. Being with you and not with you is too hard right now.”
Bette was quiet. Too quiet. Tina spoke again. “Honey, are you there?”
The brunette’s voice was small and worn when she answered. “I’m here, Baby. I get it. And you’re right.”
“But?” asked Tina.
“But it doesn’t mean I have to like it. Doesn’t mean I don’t want you by my side,” said Bette.
“I can promise you one thing, Bette.”
“What’s that?” Bette asked.
“You will feel like I’m right there with you.”
Bette swallowed. “Yeah? How is that?”
Tina smiled. “You leave that to me.”

Hola me gustan tus capítulos pero son muy poquitas páginas quiero más páginas por favor
me encantan tus historias
A second post? Wow. Feels like I’m getting all my gifts for Christmas a few weeks later this year. Tina’s comeback on the show on Sunday, now two chapters of your brilliant story on one day :-) Thanks a lot.
My comment on the previous chapter still stands. I hope Tina feels motivated enough to clear up her own situation without waiting for Bette’s divorce.
It’s a little like their younger selves of your previous books. They were fine and secure in their love when they were near each other. Drawing strenght from each other and thriving as a couple. When they were apart, the influence of family and their own insecurities made them question the love they had.
It’s great that you still show those character traits of B + T’s younger self (Bette) or time-twin-self (Tina). I said it before, I still see the 19 year old Bette inside the body of her older self. Her young soul probably is calling out for her soulmate “Tina, I need you!”
Well, enough of the mushy me ;-) I have complete confidence in you that you won’t make the drama too big for T + B. Nothing that will keep them apart forever. Please?
Thanks again for the double treat.
So Tina went to Thanksgiving Dinner with the family. With or Without Henry? Has she made any more progress on the breakup of her marriage? Bette is about 2 months ahead of Tina is getting her divorce. California takes a bit of time to get a divorce even an uncontested one.
Sidney is still a wild card in that she still wants or falsely believes that Bette belongs to her. I think Henry is a vast unknown. Will he fight a divorce from Chris? A break is truly something Tina needs to get her actions in sync with her desires and goals. The problem with Tina is has she got the gumption to put the get the process underway to get her life in order? And even if she does, its bound not to be smooth sailing. So she needs to come clean with Bette if she truly believes Bette is her future.
I like this story…I just wish Bette would catch a break and allow things to go her way for once.
thanks for this chapter.
Thank you for the chapter!
First – Alice sometimes can gives good advise)
Second – is Bette surely not on the drugs now? Because her mood swings unusual for healthy woman. She called Tina, wanted to come to her, and when Tina refused but suggested to meet tomorrow – again completely shutting her out. And on the second day Bette call to her again and say to her “T”. I don’t know, very strange behavior.
Maybe Bette needs to see a therapist, who could worked with rape victims?
Secrets give life to more secrets. Hope they come clean with each other and are able to move forward together. Compelling story with great drama! Thanks
