To Get What You Want, You Must Go Get It – One Chapter Only
Laying her head back against the head rest, she closed her eyes, once again wondering what Tina was trying to say to her by asking about the sign. Feeling the vibration of her Blackberry, she pulled it out, her brow furrowing even further when she saw that it was from Tina.
Bette…
You are making one grand gesture. And, it is grand, I grant you that. If Jodi is who you want to spend your life with, I will wish for your happiness. But, what if there is a chance that there is someone else who can fill your heart, and fulfill all your dreams?
My gesture may not be grand, but I believe it is the little day to day gestures made throughout a relationship that show its true strength.
Tina
Bette read the message a second time. ‘What is Tina talking about?’ she wondered. ‘And, what day to day gestures? Is she talking about our new friendship, and her help in my attempt to get Jodi back?’
Before she could go further in her thoughts, her Blackberry vibrated again.
Seventeen Reasons Why
Osiris was the Egyptian God of life, death, and fertility. His life ended when he drowned on the seventeenth day of Athyr.
17. Because, whereas his life ended, my life began again on the seventeenth day…the day we first met.
Bette let out the breath she had been holding, her confusion over Tina’s behavior fading away as she closed her eyes and remembered the day Tina was talking about…October 17, 1997. She remembered how her stomach dropped after her eyes landed on Tina when she had turned at the sound of Eric calling her name.
A small smile played on Bette’s lips as the cab entered the freeway. Feeling the vibration again, she opened her eyes, wondering what Tina was up to.
They say there are sixteen personality types.
16. Because, I miss experiencing and rejoicing in every single one of yours.
Tears prickled at the corners of Bette’s eyes. ‘Oh Tina…why now?’ Looking up she watched the other cars on the road, wondering for a brief moment about the stories waiting to be told, grand gestures to be made, all held inside the protection of the fast moving steel frames.

How did you think of 17 significant reasons? Beautiful and perfect! I am in awe of your ability.
Aww. My favorite too. I wish I could have seen something this compelling on the show. This was sweet..and when I breathed in at the end I realized it actually made me choke up. Thats some talent.
“…all fourteen ripped and torn swimsuits…and I can still feel your heat…your passion as you relieved me of them…” We’d really like it if you decide to take us to the sea (like PP’s assistant ;-) and write some vacation fic… after all, you’re our Seahurst!
is it christmas or what? 4 stories from you…wow, what a present…how do i love thy stories, let me count the way :) …. anyway, you brought tears to my eyes with that…if only, if only
Actually, with all the vibrations emminating from Bette’s Blackberry, it was a different pop song that popped to mind: Michael Jackson (his voice never really did change, did it? with his 4 brothers on “Never Can Say Goodbye”Ev’ry time I think I’ve had enough and start heading for the door There’s very strange vibrations, piercing me right to the core It says turn around you fool you know you love her more and more Tell me why is it so? Don’t wanna let you go I never can say goodbye girl (never can say goodbye, girl)I’ve had a VERY long day, I’ll read the others tomorrow.

Absolutely loved it. Spent most of yesterday reading “if its meant to be” instead of doing the housework! A much better way to spend the day if you ask me. You are way up there with the best!Keep posting.
Brilliant, just one complaint: You left a word out that was in the other three. It was a word I kept saying to myself as I was reading this one… Fuck!

ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT!!!!!! Hope we can read more SOON!!! Hope all is going well. THANK YOU!!
Well, I guess pretty much everything has been said already… Well, except for one thing I believe… And I’m sorry but I’m going to borrow Helena’s words ( since she was the greatest drama queen in the show back then ), but your story, Seahurst, brought tears to my eyes. Really ! And let me tell you that had not happened in quite a while ! Beautiful story… Wonderful writing style…
See, writers block all gone

Fantastic. If only this is how it had really gone.
You are right this is the best one because my Tibette heart is full of joy and happiness. How did you come up with 17 insightful reasons for Bette to go back to Tina? They are breath taking and are exactly how Tina feels about what has happened between the two of them. Oscar is not a favorite name of mine but is sounds wonderful as one of Bette and Tina’s children of the future. Keep posting, please.
That was great, just like always. Hope to see more soon. Thanks for takin the time.
brilliant
That was such a PERFECT story! (standing now & clapping as I yell) BRAVO! BRAVO!
i can only say WOWWWWWWW AMAZING SIMPLY AMAZING i think am going to cry
absolutely beautiful! I’ll have sweet dreams tonight for sure. Thank you so much Seahurst.
That was absolutely brillant and romantic. I think you should write for the “L”word! I don’t often leave comments, this is probably the best I”ve ever read, it was real!
What is there to say now that I haven’t? You have completely outdone yourself my friend. Many thanks of course to Succulent, and especailly Jwet. To be “inspired” can be one of the strongest forces as a writer. There are writer’s, and then there are WRITER’S. Without a doubt, you are the latter. Please don’t stay away so long Sea, you can see (wow almost a no pun intended moment. LOL) how much everyone here is just blown away by your talent.
Goose bumps!! Thank you:-)
Seahurst…this was awesome. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the screen, how do you do it? I wish I could see this story acted out on the screen (including the flashbacks) that would so great. I hope you bless us again with more of your words.
I am with you I love this one too. I’m glad I could help but you already had so much of it. You really are so good at this. The flow of this reals me in thanks for writting it.
This too was my favorite followed very closely by your nc-17….Your writing captures true emotions. The way you express each characters feelings are amazing. Having Tina use special days in history and in their life’s was a work of a genius. And the scene at the end was perfect. I’m so glad that you chose to participate, I hope that you will continue writing after this and that your writer’s block is GONE!
What a great way to start my morning….thank you thank you!Please give us more…..you cannot tease us like this and not give us a nice long story!
luved this one the best, great job!!!!!!!
Absolutely great!
Oh Seahurst, “if only” Ms. IC had just a tiny, tiny amount of this TiBette love in her heart… You sooo rule!
Awesome! Just absolutely awesome!!!
made me smile.
Brilliant! Sea, you always astound me with your writings! I could not help be feel like Bette in anticiaption of what Tina was going to say next. You drew me so completely in the story! When is that book coming out?!
Seahurst, ’47 Reasons Why, we need another post, soon’, because that’s how many have fans, have begged for more of your stories, before me! I’m sure more fans will soon follow, as they log on! So, please!?

Well, what else can I say that hasn’t already been said?! I’m a little late to the party but I’m so glad to see you back! And with 4 stories!! I too liked this the best out of the 4. Hope to see more from you soon. Thanks.

Tibettenation1 ! Thank you so much, it took me a while to realise that you are going thru some wonderful L word stories one by one. Thank you for bringing out the amazing stories again. As much as I appreciate the brilliant writer but I just want to thank you…. Maybe I should thank you under your personal ID….
More to come I believe… Thank you so much !
Brilliant – an absolute joy to read! This should have been the end of Season 4 without any doubt! I think Tibettenation1 and I are on a similar mission!
