Love You Lately Chapter 27 and 28
Bette finally acknowledged the incessant tugging on her arm and saw Jodi looking at her.
“What’s Tina doing up there?” she signed, struggling to keep Bette’s attention as she continued to turn back to the stage.
Jodi hit her arm and scowled as she awaited an answer.
“She’s singing a song.”
“Ah she’s just the belle of the ball.”
Bette glared at Jodi. "She’s a beautiful singer."
“Bette come on. You said you’d come to my friends party after you spent some time here.”
Bette looked at Jodi blankly just beginning to remember anything before the last 5 minutes. She was irritated and didn’t want to go but she knew she had to get away from this environment so that she could think.
She quickly said her good bye to Kit, ignoring the disapproving look she was getting and said her quick goodbyes to Shane and Alice on the way out- again ignoring the disappointment they weren’t trying to hide.
We’re the only But if you ever lose your way Cause I’m the one who loves you lately
Tina watched as Bette left, her heart breaking as she finished the song and received huge applause and calls for encore. Instead, she bowed and sadly walked off the stage.
Alice was there to greet her with a hug.
“You were wonderful TK. I’m so proud of you”
Tina sobbed, “It didn’t work Al, I’ve done everything I know and still she left. It’s really over.”
Alice squeezed her tight and stroked her hair. “Don’t give up babe. I know she loves you.”
Tina pulled back and wiped the tears. “She doesn’t Al. I just have to live with it.” She kissed Al on the cheek and wished her happy birthday. Then headed towards the door.
Chapter 28
On the way to the party Jodi needed to stop by her home to get the present she had forgotten.
Bette opted to wait in the car and in doing so, checked her messages. She was surprised to find there was one from Tina from much earlier in the night. She opened it.
“When I was scared you protected me;
When I was uncertain you directed me;
When I was challenged you supported me;
When I was loved, it was only truly by you.
T”
Bette stared at the phone, her heart pounding and suddenly her confusion was gone.
She got out of the car and entered the house, meeting Jodi in the livingroom and began to sign.
“I’m sorry Jodi but I can’t go with you tonight. I, um, can’t keep my promise I made in New York. I was wrong to chase you. I thought I loved you and even though I do care for you, I’m not in love with you.”
Jodi stood in shock and then came to the realization. “You’re still in love with Tina.” She stated.
Bette looked down for a moment feeling horrible for hurting Jodi but knew she had to do this to get to Tina.
“Yes.”
“Fine. Leave.”
Bette nodded, turned and left.
She moved with increasing speed to the car and once inside started to head back to the party but opted to call Kit on the way.
“Bette?” Kit yelled into the phone, trying to communicate over the noise of the band.
“Kit, is Tina still there?”
“What?”
“Tina. Is Tina still there?”
“No” she yelled. “She was upset and left.”
“Ok thanks Kit.” Bette hung up and turned the car towards Tina’s.

I know that Bette will catch up and make things right with her T, because she realises now how much she loves and needs Tina. I hope they make it and renew the love that was never lost. PPS
Alright Bette has heard the final bell ring and her winner is TINA. I am glad that she came to that conclusion all on her own without Al or Kit spilling the beans about Jodi and Nicky. the only problem now is to find Tina and lay her heart out to her.
So finally the bell went off and Bette knows what she wants. Good for her. Now she needs to go and apologize for walking out and kiss up to Tina.

Thanks for the very lovely update. Glad Bette came to her senses. Can’t wait for the next one.
As Tina sang and was confronted with the disappointing scene of Jodi with Bette, I was reminded of Bette’s toast when she saw Tina with Helena at Dana’s engagement party. Same sadness. …Thanks!
