Bette walked into the master bedroom as she unfastened her jacket. She slipped it off and hung it on a hanger in the closet. It was only then that she saw Tina as a reflection in the mirror. Bette turned to face her, but her movements were tentative. Tina’s posture was saying something she was trying to comprehend. The silent language spoken between two women who have been together for so long was speaking volumes.
Bette, now clad only in her suit pants and bra, took a couple of steps in Tina’s direction,. Tina stood up as Bette approached.
"I know," Tina’s voice shook as she spoke. "I saw it."
Bette pondered her options for a moment. The timing of Tina’s discovery could have been better. She was tired.
Now or never.
She let the tears rise as she felt her throat constrict with emotion. Bette walked towards Tina and reached for her. Tina shoved her away forcefully. More forcefully than Bette expected of her.
"I’m sorry," Bette whispered. This time she kept her distance as she spoke. Tina was usually able to maintain her sense of calm, even when dealing with nothing short of rage. Tina’s handle on her emotions was sometimes what frustrated Bette the most; she wouldn’t – or couldn’t – get angry. That wasn’t the case this evening.
The fury showed on Tina’s face as it contorted with anger. Seemingly out of nowhere, the slap of Tina’s open hand across Bette’s face was hard, reverberating through her, and not merely at the point of contact. Bette instinctively pressed against her cheek with her own hand. The sensation of the sting on her skin was intense. She brought her eyes back to Tina’s.
"I love you," Bette couldn’t bring her voice above a whisper. She reached for Tina again, attempting to draw her into an embrace.
"Fuck you!" Tina screamed the phrase. Tina’s arms swung wildly as she made every effort to strike Bette, sometimes with a fist, sometimes with an open hand.
Bette struggled for a moment to catch Tina’s wrists in her hands in self defense. She knew she could physically overpower her, but she had to be able to grasp her arms.

Definitely not what I was expecting.
OK that was different. But keep the stories going
That was great.
That was very different and a very unexpected ending. Thanks for posting. Have a great weekend.
I don’t know what name you posted this under before, but I never read it and I’m with the other’s……didn’t expect that ending. Thanks.
How do you explain their relationship? Love/Hate? Do they do it to keep their marriage “fresh”? Has flirting gone out of style and now they’re into physically damaging each other?
Different but great as always.
The relationship would be over for me if to spice it up you had to have an affair to add excitement to what was once a commited loving relationship even with the consent of each other…..different and bound to illicit adverse comments from us the reader
Wow. That was some twist. Unexpected is always the best. Thank you
I seriously did not think you wrote this the first time I read it. The first part was, “wow”. The second part was, “wow”.
Sideways…
I think I’ll pass on this one. Not my cup of tea. Open relationships are ewwww.
now that was unexpected. but i like the slightly different twist you took here. you certaiunly keep us readers on our toes ;-)
Interesting
different and well written, but don’t like it:)
Excellent thank you
