When Bette came home to change, she left a note telling me that she would be in early and perhaps we could look at the album together. I was excited at that thought. I really would like to talk to her about it and reminisce about those times. I had fed Angie and played with her before putting her to bed and sat on the couch reading a script when Bette came in from her event. I could tell immediately that she was agitated and I was afraid of what was causing her to be that way. She didn’t acknowledge me in any way. There was no hello. No hug. No kiss. She came in like the worries of the world had fallen on her shoulders and fell onto the couch. I didn’t want to push her to talk so I got up and went in to make us some tea. Something told me, that we would be having a long talk. When I got back, she hadn’t moved. I sat beside her and took her hands into mine.
“Bette, what happened? You’re scaring me.” She looked up and all saw in her eyes was defeat. Just then her cell phone rang; she took it out of her pocket, looked at the display and threw it across the room. When I looked it was in more than one piece. Her temper was something I had not seen in a long time and can honestly say I had not missed. Once again, I reached out to her. “Bette, either you tell me what’s going on or you call Suzanne but you’re not going to destroy things as a way of dealing with whatever it is. It’s your choice and know that I’m fine if you need to talk to Suzanne.”
She finally looked at me with tears in her eyes. “T, why is it that I seem to mess up everything that is going well for me?”
“What have you messed up Bette?”
“Us.”
“How have you messed us up?”
“T, I swear I didn’t do anything.”
My heart dropped and somehow I knew that Candace was back in our lives in some way.
Bette
Tina and I were really talking about things and it was a refreshing change from our past. When Tina asked me about my appointment time with Suzanne that to me was a defining moment in our new relationship. As uncomfortable as she may have been about wanting some clarification about my schedule, she asked and in the past, she wouldn’t have. She would have taken what I said to her at face value and become upset although I wouldn’t have known why she was upset. It is so good to feel that we can talk about things, even those things that may not be pleasant.

I am savoring the back-to-back postings. What a treat! I love your writing style and find myself rereading paragraphs. Thanks for all the updates and enjoy the rest of your break!
By some strange coincidence…you often write something that touches deep within my soul and that makes it extremely heartfelt. Amazing. Thank you again for writing.
Great chapter! Nice to see them work through this very difficult situation. Looking forward to the next chapter.
As always another truely amazing post! I so what you mean with the painting and friends and booze…just say you couldn’t decide which color, it worked for me for awhile anyway! lol Hope you had fun at lunch:)
Way to go readers, Thanks NAG for this extra chapter, extra special, extra reading, it’s all good. Md
The od Bette needs to come out at times. Having a temper doesn;t not hurt, Now she will need to get a new phone.so in a way she hurt herself..Glad that Tina was so supportive of Bette then she explain to Bette about what she said It was the doing not what she couldnt control. thanks
Wow, I am sooooo glad that you had some extra time to write this. I am awestruck at your ability to write like this in such a short amount of time. This was a beautiful chapter demonstrating just how far they have come with their communiction. I am always left with wanting more of this story and yet you haven’t teased me once with a cliff hanger…the mark of a really good story teller!
So nice they are ok
Another Great Update!!!! Thanks
Great challenge to the relationship and it all worked out so smoothly — at least for these two. I hope these two get a break though – Kit’s right — they deserve a moment without additional stress. Anxiously awaiting family day and how they are going to tell the girls….
Luv the story. When Bette stood and watched Tina sleep it brought a tear to my eye. Keep up the great work!!!
Talk about drama, that was atough one. I’m glad to see the ladies process thru it in a healthy manner. Great update.
Bette lost it for a second but pulled it together when she saw that Tina was 100% behind her and believed she did nothing to encourage Candace. Great chapter can’t wait for what comes next. PPS
Awesome as usual..yeah painting, BF and wine don’t mix well. I found that out with cooking :) Have fun with your lunch, and just take it easy. Anybody ask about your painting..just say its abstract..:) PPS
another great update! enjoy lunch! wow if candance causes to much trouble the gang will have to step in case tina needs a hand. cuz tina will sure take care of her if need be! :)
You are great. Can’t wait for mor. It’s realy the best way to improve my english. :)
You are great. Can’t wait for mor. It’s realy the best way to improve my english. :)
Damn, you scared me. Candace is like fire to me… frightening in a TiBette story. Hopefully they will move on.
Love your story. Thanks a lot. I am to lazy to comment sometimes, but I am always very glad to see next chapter of your story.
GREAT and didn’t they do well in a crisis…thank u; hope u enjoyed your lunch. I’m so into this story. pps
WOW, you’re on a roll, newagegirl! I haven’t even managed to leave a comment yet to your last two, long and enjoyable chapters but then you came up with another good one. Talk about prolificness! I’m really amazed. You write when you’re under pressure from your important project, in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep, when you’re pissed off because of botched weekend plans and before or after painting your kitchen. WOW! I salute you, newagegirl! Btw, a million thanks for granting my requests! You know, I started squealing when I read Tina and Bette’s recollection of the night when they first made love. I was beside myself with joy because that’s what I wanted to read and you granted my wish! And you followed it up with the account of their first out-of-town trip to Moscow, Kentucky! Excuse my language but holy sh*t, this just keeps getting better and betterer!!! This chapter’s a good test for them. Ghosts from their past are bound to haunt them but the difference now is how they react to them, how they handle the tricky situations individually and together. Looking forward to the Saturday barbeque. :> I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the beautiful memories of their rings, their commitment ceremony will be in one of the next envelopes. This could segue way into the bitter, painful memory of the day they stopped wearing those rings. Thanks a lot for this update, newagegirl! And may your Muse continue to inspire you whatever real life crisis or inanities you’re dealing with right now. PPS. :>
