The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 39

Bette held on to Tina’s arms, unable to move much else.
“I love you, Bette. You deserve the world. You will have it,” Tina whispered.
“Do you still love me?” Tina asked.
Bette nodded, like every other part of her, her tongue couldn’t move yet.
“I’m sorry,” Tina whispered. “I should have told you. I was afraid of losing you. I never want to let you go.”
Bette was still short of breath, her body still recovering from the intensity of their lovemaking. Though there was hardly any room between them, she scooted back toward Tina’s warm body, wanting to wrap herself in the woman who owned her heart.
“I want to be mad at you,” she finally whispered.
“Are you mad?” asked Tina.
Bette sighed. She pulled Tina’s fingers to her lips and kissed them. “I love you so much, Tina. It’s hard to be mad at you. I want to push you away. But it’s hard.”
“So, don’t push me away.”
“You lied to me, T. It hurts. I never thought you would lie to me. I guess that was silly.”
Tina shook her head. “No. It’s not silly.”
“I wish you would have just told me the truth.”
“I should have, Bette.”
Bette swallowed, tears slipping from her eyes and falling onto the couch. “Do you love him?”
“No. I love you.”
“I never saw a wedding ring, T. Not even a ring tan on your finger.”
“I don’t wear one. I haven’t worn one in a long time.”
“Why?
“At first, it wasn’t on purpose. I just happened to leave it at home. But then, putting it on felt heavy and wrong. Like he owned me. He doesn’t own me.”
Bette replied, “And he agreed to this?”
Tina shrugged. “I didn’t ask him for his permission. But I did wear it tonight.”
“You did?”
“I did. Sometimes I wear it when we’re around my parents. Or when I need to let people know I’m married. Otherwise, I never do.”
“Everyone in my world knows how much you mean to me. I don’t know if I can be with someone who is ashamed to be with me,” said Bette.

Thank you for the new update!
First – great, we now know answer on my question about Tina’s wedding ring!
Second – also good part, they make up, well, sorta. Because despite how sex is good, they can’t solve all problems only with it. I think Tina still needs to explain about her plan, and Bette – this even more complicated. She obviously needs something to do with alcohol dependency. She can’t after every upset moment call her sponsor and fight for sobriety. I really don’t know much about this kind of addiction, but like i understand, even after rehabilitation she never can have one beer or one wine glass? Because she simply can’t stop after it? It’s sucks.
Third – i’m impress that Bette went to home alone. I was sure she would be with Carmen.
Yes, her addiction and dependency are, unfortunately, life-long problems. She will need to grow up in a sense. She has to learn coping skills to use instead of running to drugs/alcohol. I believe she will get there. It’s going to take time. For now, her sponsor and support network are like safety nets. Sometimes, people that have been clean for years slip up. And then they start the process all over again. Though she’s not as deeply affected as Sidney, she still must be careful.
I’m very glad that they take first step to reconnection. And by the way it was very hot step:) and very good Bette can take this step-i thonk it was good sign she starting recover after the rape.
Waiting the next!
Ok maybe I should have waited till I was home to read that.. lol. Damn. Beautifully written thank you Tina has a lot to fill Bette in on which I’m sure she will just as soon as the come up for air. I’m glad Bette listened. But if it’s the next morning will they be in bed all day and where did Bette sleep?
:) This question will be answered my friend.
Thanks for this chapter. It fueld my hopes for my favourite couple again. Big crises averted. Phew!
Okay, first step: make sure the connection is still there, even if there are some discords. Check! Interlude: reaffirm the physical attraction and compatibility – double, no triple check. Second step: after the post-orgasmic bliss rebuild the missing trust by taking about it all.
I hope Tina finally opens up to Bette and tells her everything she already organized and what she still has to do to free herself of the clutches of Dark Lord Kennard.
If you want to keep us in the dark and guessing about Tina’s plans for now, Mts, just use a fade-out scence and then start the next paragraph with something like:
“Bette was staring at Tina with tearful-eyes. She was stunned, angry, happy, yes even elated all at once. Could it be? Was telling Tina the truth? Her last words resonating in her ears. ‘Bette, will you help me to finish my plans?'” ;-)
Bette should tell Tina about Carmen as well. However I’m happy she’s starting to heal from her trauma. Hopefully her near relapse into drugs and alcohol in Carmen’s limo was a low point and she’s getting stronger.
Still hooked on your story!
cheers
LOL….girl….I’m waiting on you to post this fan fic:
““Bette was staring at Tina with tearful-eyes. She was stunned, angry, happy, yes even elated all at once. Could it be? Was telling Tina the truth? Her last words resonating in her ears. ‘Bette, will you help me to finish my plans?’”
That was beautiful. Ahem….waiting.
And you are so right, Tina needs to tell the rest of her plans, but Bette needs to be honest as well.
Ohh, i think i forgot to add something – it was hot!
Nice chapter….hope that Tina lets Bette in on everything, because I would like to known also.
Did Bette spend the night in the limo with Carmen? Or maybe her hotel room?
I am breathing easier. They still have a ways to go to get to a normal day to day life…Divorces to be finalized. Living arrangements to be made and lots of explanations of what the hell is going on….But I am more relaxed.
Look forward to more.
Yay! I’m glad you hung in there and are breathing easier. They do still have lots of things to settle between them and unfortunately, life doesn’t just fix itself because you snap your fingers or have great sex.
More to come
Thank you for this post answering much but still leaving us wondering about much!
I need you to post again as soon as possible and start to answer the outstanding issues!
Bette needs to know Tina’s plans, please
SG
Bette does need to know Tina’s plans. All will be revealed….eventually.
***MTS laughs like dracula***
But seriously, yes, more to come between the two ladies. Lots to discuss and work on. Nothing is really settled yet.
oops. computer burped
MTS, so many years have gone by and I STILL am too embarrassed to read NC17 scenes!!!! I love this conundrum you have created of someone with the life experience of a 19-year old trying to function in a world where she is in her thirties. But a Bette with the experience of a woman in her thirties might not have allowed Tina back so quickly. It’s lots of fun to think about that when reading.
Spu….I think I have to take away some of your OG points for this one. I mean, it’s been…x number of years. Yes that was a pun, but also, I’m not trying to date us old heads.
You are so right on all accounts. If Bette’s mental age were older, she would have more life experiences that would make her less accepting of Tina. Her love for Tina is pure and innocent.
