AN-Not sure how long I can keep this one going seeing I heard the sad news that The L Word soon will not be airing. Have to wait and see what season six brings us. Anyways, hope you enjoy and thanks for any input good or bad.
Joyce was not a good person in Bette's mind. But there was one thing that she would be eternally grateful to the lawyer from hell for. She had stopped and made both herself and Tina stop and see what they were doing. The lawyer had kept them from doing something stupid. It had kept their family intact, at least for now.
It gave her a new sense of hope for their relationship. Slowly, Tina's relationship with Henry had dissolved and that too gave her a bit of hope. Her own love life had been something else. There was nothing really there. There was one attraction she felt but that seemed almost totally physical at the moment. Would it develop into anything more?
Only time would tell. Her new job was going well. There had been that little bit of a hiccup when she had done the stupid thing and slept with her teaching assistant. It was not that she was not a nice young woman but it was so inappropriate for her to have even thought about starting any kind of relationship. Especially when it was most likely only going to be a physical relationship.
That was one thing she would regret and hoped would not one day come back to haunt her. There were too many things in her past that already haunted her. The most glaring was the fact that she had destroyed something in a moment of weakness that had taken seven years to build. The two had and would be the quintessential couple. They had been meant to be forever until she had stupidly gone and done what she had.
Only time would tell if things would work out the way that she had once hoped they would. But after having met Jodi, an amazing artist, things were not as clear as they once had been. For the first time since their breakup, she found herself thinking about someone other than Tina all the time. Her ex was there more than fifty percent but still to have someone else break through that force that Tina seemed to have was something amazing.
Her mind came back to the present as Tina was due any moment to pick up Angelica. It had been her day to have her on her own. That was still the greatest thing that she was eternally grateful for. Through luck and circumstances she still had her daughter in her life any time that she wanted. It was a beacon of hope that one day, whether with Tina or not, her life would return to some semblance of normalcy.
Until then, she would have to live her life from day to day and make the best choices she could. Her life had changed so much since her little baby girl was born. Not only did she have to be financially responsible she had to be ethically responsible. The past was something she would have to learn from so that she didn't make the same mistakes as before. And she wanted to be a good person, someone that Angelica could look up to.
The phone rang. Her heart sang until she saw that it was Jodi's number. Of course, it would be her interpreter on the other line. But the woman was the one doing the talking. Funny how her heart just didn't sing like it did when it was Tina on the other line. Everything about her sang
when it was Tina on the other line. It nearly screamed when it was her ex that was there in front of her. And when she touched her it nearly exploded.
But that door had been closed. Hadn't it? For there was hope as long as they had the connection of Angelica. As long as they breathed, there was hope. For no matter how attracted she was or even if she thought she could really love Jodi, there was only one real love in her life. That would forever be Tina. And without her in her life, she would not be complete. She would only be half of a heart trying to beat and move on the best that she could. Until someday…
