Bette’s Loss and Gain (Part Six)
Bette’s Loss and Gain (Part Six)
She drove to Ash’s apartment and dragged herself up the stairs, holding her keys. At the door, she slowly removed his key from the ring and used it to open the door. Ash was eating a slice of Sara Lee pumpkin pie as he walked into the living room from the kitchen. He had just bit off a large piece of pie and was chewing when the door opened.
“Hi. You caught me,” Ash said between a mouthful of silky pumpkin. “I’m eating dessert before dinner.” He was wearing a pair of Levi’s straight cut jeans and a white t-shirt.
He walked to the door and kissed her lightly on the lips. “Where have you been all day? I left a few messages on your answering machine.”
“I’ve been kinda busy.”
“Dinner?”
Bette didn’t remove her coat nor did she leave the doorway. “Uh, no. Do you want to take a walk? I just need to walk.” Bette had been walking all day. Her feet were surely blistered.
“Okay, let me get some clothes on.” Placing the plate of pie on the table, Ashton grabbed his socks and shoes from the floor next to the sofa. Bette watched him put on his gray, thermal socks and thought this would be the last time she’d see him do that; the same with the shoes. Everything seemed so ordinary in every way, yet significant. He tossed a thick, Navy blue crewneck sweater over his t-shirt as she stood beside the door, leaning on a small table, her palm laying flat against it, hiding the door key she had placed there. She was so quiet that Ash looked up at her and she smiled at him as he slipped an arm into his black down jacket. He returned her smile.
They walked toward campus hand-in-hand and again Bette thought that today would most likely be the last day for that act, an act she was as used to now as brushing her teeth or showering. For almost two years they had been a couple, not two people, but a couple; they had been one.
“You seem so tense.”
