Never Can Say Goodbye
“Hi…it’s me sorry I’m late but Alice called just as I was leaving the gallery” Bette said as she tried to remove her jacket with one hand while holding the phone to her ear with the other.
“Bette it’s 4 minutes past 8 I’d hardly call that late” Tina said amused at Bette’s definition of late. She didn’t need to know that 4 minutes had seemed liked an eternity to her.
“It’s 4 minutes late….you know why she called” Bette stated matter of factly
“I do” Tina confirmed
“And”
“I’m ok with it if you are” Tina’s answer was a half truth she was more than ok with it, Bette had erected a wall quicker than Berlin, Tina had attempted the bulldozer approach but Bette had successfully bounced it off, which left her with the painstaking task of chipping away brick by brick. As arduous as it was there was not a doubt in her mind when it did eventually fall it would be so worth the effort.
“You are?” Bette questioned
“Yeah I am it’s been 42 days and I am so over you”
“You are are you….it’s not like you have been counting the days or anything”
“Who me…no….I only know that because Dana told me at lunch…”
“Fuck….ouch”
“Bette…”
“Erm…I just stubbed my toe” What Bette didn’t add was that she had stubbed her toes and one of the many full boxes that still lay scattered in every room of the house. She kept telling herself that she simply didn’t have the time to unpack, everyone of those 42 nights had been spent on the phone to Tina. The truth was she wasn’t ready to make it her home.
“You ok”
“Yeah……so Friday night at the Planet you and me in the same room”
“Actually I was thinking about that……since it is Alice’s birthday maybe we….well you could throw her a little surprise party…..Dana mentioned that they haven’t been invited around and it could double as a house warming…..”
“What here….you want to have a party here…..wow Tina I’m starting to think you really are over me”
Sure Bette not in this lifetime when Dana had said the words Bette, party and Planet the only thing that crossed Tina’s mind was a single Bette Porter in a room full of woman which was not something she would be ever ready to see so suggesting they have a party at Bette’s place was the lesser of two evils.

Very Cute and Sweet! So if I keep sending you hugs, will you get them back together? :)
Gosh, to be Bette Porter’s sponge even if it is for only 6 wks. What a way to go. Will they just stop these interminable calls and just get back together. Thanks for posting.
lol. Only, what, three chapters in and the phone calls are starting to grate on the readers’ nerves? I forgive you for trying to make me cry last chapter but only because Tina was ultra-awesome this time around. Bette Porter’s sponge. Reminds me of the Pepsi commercial that came out like 15 years ago with Claudia Schiffer’s soap. I only remember because my cousin has a friend who my aunt calls (behind his back, of course) Claudia Schiffer’s soap. He apparently looks a lot like the actor.
Ahhhhh so sweet. I’m hopeful for these two buuuuut I dunno children to me aren’t something you can compromise on. You either want them or you don’t. We’ll see! Maybe you’ll get me to change my mind. They are too cute. Ps true love is always enough
So if enough hugs are send to u wud we have another chapter like VERY SOON and may b even a chapter of TGLSET :))PPS
So… Tina wants Bette back, I wonder how long she’ll be able to hold out for?
They are so adorable. I loved this dialogue. I’m glad Tina is “breaking the rules” and telling Bette how she feels about her. She’s very clever with her wall destruction.
Hey Skimmy…are you holding us for ransom until the weekend? You’re gonna make us wait and wonder aren’t you about who that “child” was? Cruel Skimmy…very cruel. Luckily it’s Thursday, so get writing…we’re waiting!
Tina’s being so sweet, how can Bette resist? :-) It’s okay Bette, love always entails risk – but the rewards make them worthwile. Trusting Tina with your secrets will loosen the hold they have on you. Thanks for this sweet chapter, skimmer!
I know this is gonna sound kinda weird, but the split second i read that line “I love you more today than i did yesterday” got me to thinking about Spiral Staircase and how i used to (ok, still do) sing that song at the top of my lungs and feel really happy. I know i’m crazy but i really do love that song and this chapter. Wow, again in case i have never said so. Please Post Soon. PEACE.
I’m back. I am so so so loving this telephone thing-flirting-sexy-TiBette intermission-it will make the ‘making up’ reconnection so much more satisfying. What a way to get one another? The right way for them who find it difficult to communicate face-to-face. Love it. Sorry for the washing though. Nah, not really.
So Love this Story!!!! Alice’s party at Bette’s house that should be fun. Thank you PPVS
Love Bette when she thinks that hving the party at her house is safer than having Tina around other women I would feel the same way. And who wouldnt want to be Tinas sponge hell just for one day please. Just wanted to say really love the stories.
the secrets places that only Bette’s sponge will go…..
Another great update Skimmer. Love the conversations these 2 are having. Bette Porter’s sponge …. Wow :) Thank you again.
love their banter……ahh they are coming around
Love the banter between them. PPS
I love their phone conversations. Uh Oh, Bette is in trouble with her new place. She better unpack and do it quickly. I think that I would pick Bette Porter’s pillow, or Tina’s pillow if given the choice.
That was great!
They’re so bloody cute! It’s sweet that they keep their connection over the phone, but they’re about to be in the same room now… Bette had better unpack and decorate like woman possessed if the house is going to be presentable in time for Al’s party. I can’t wait for the next chapter. Thanks for posting!
Sponge Bob got a new meaning! LMAO
I must have over looked this chapter. Glad I found it, very funny phone conversation. Laughed out loud several times. :) Touch a dirty canvas or a body? They are both so cute in this story.
I would be Tina’s sponge or Tina’s favorite bra? :) Yummy thought.
