A Walk on the Wild Side – Chapter 13
Bette watched in fascination as she discovered a side to Tina she hadn’t seen yet. She watched as Tina’s demeanour changed, her concentration, her complete focus in the task at hand.
Bette wondered if this was what her friends witnessed in her. Bette enjoyed having fun as much as the next girl, but her work? Well that was different, Bette had always felt so fortunate to have an overwhelming passion that fully encompassed her life. Her work was her life. Without it she would be an empty shell with no purpose.
Her eyes struggled to make out Tina’s features in the dull red light of the dark room, as she removed the chemicals from their storage cupboards.
Bette tried to imagine something so traumatic happening in her life that would make her turn away from her art, but as much as she tried she just couldn’t. God I would shrivel up and die if I couldn’t experience the emotions art evokes in me. She thought.
Suddenly Bette realised her assessment of Tina was so way off the mark.
After learning of Tina’s trauma, she had felt an immense need to protect her, to wrap her in her arms and remove the worries of the world from her shoulders.
She thought that she could give Tina the strength to carry on, the strength to start living her life again.
Oh God, how wrong could I be? She thought. Tina doesn’t need me to give her strength, she already has so much more of that than I ever will.
Bette now wondered how strong a person would have to be to walk away from the one thing that defined them, the one thing that meant everything to them, and still carry on without losing it completely.
Bette’s heart swelled in her chest as she felt an overwhelming pride in the beautiful woman standing before her, who despite suffering the most incredible physical and mental pain, had risen above it.
Tina had refused to be beaten, had refused to surrender to the incredible emptiness she must have felt, and somehow had managed to find a way to carry on.
In life there were very few people who Bette could honestly say she admired. Respected yes, held in high regard maybe, but admired..No. That was reserved for maybe two or three people who had defined her, made her the person she was today.

Wonderful chapter. So sweet. Love your story. Can’t wait for more.
This is a wonderful story, take us on whatever journey you want. I for one will gladly follow.
I agree with asalways…whatever journey you want to go on, I want to go on. You have a way of writing…I don’t know, I get this visual of you holding all the words of your story in the palm of your hand, and then softly blowing on them..watching as they float out into the sky. That may be cheesey, but I love your style. I love where you take us. I can’t imagine your writing ever feeling boring, or “samey”. You have too much talent for that. Thank you for giving me that visual.
HOT DOG!!!!!!
HOT DOG!!!!!!
Evil??? some like to call me naughty LOL
and I think your camera story is so much better, that would be a very scary and awesome pic.
So no I wasn’t kidding about the tour guide, I live in the napa valley which about 45mins away from SF, and I’m down there all the time, so you would be an reason for me to go to the city.
HMM so I want to be greedy so maybe you can give us both of your options. LMAO
but if you already have one written you should go with that one. IT would mean we would get more posts from you
i agree with asalways and seahurst. i will go wherever you lead. i look to see if you have posted. i love your visuals. your thoughts, your dialogue. *sigh* you leave me wanting more. thanks.
I know that we are in very capable hands, regardless of the direction you choose to take with this story. You are the artist…let YOUR inspiration lead you. I will, as others have said, gladly follow.
Your descriptions evoke such vivid pictures in my minds eye. I could feel the coolness of the cabinet against my naked back, I could feel the giraffe’s tongue on my hand, I could see the dust kicked up from the truck, I could feel the softness of Bette’s skin and the emptiness of Tina’s life until she was born again. Your style is a total body experience.
Looking forward to the next step in their journey.
You know I love this story…. I will follow where ever you choose to lead…. Begging again … PLEASSSSSSSEEEE post again SOON!!!!!!! OK I know it’s cheesy… You had me with I’m blind…LOL
Glad to hear things are good… just neeeded to check.
Love reading your story don’t often comment but yeah write about their journey.
I say stay with what you have already written, they could always take this trip later, say on a second honeymoon or a surprise anniversiry trip (i.e. reconnecting with one and other and some private time alone with each other). I fully understand you tripidation about delving into a particular (the art side) without losing your readers interest. I have the same problem when talking to friends and family about film, photography and Art (I have a dual degree in Art and Poli. Sci. and have been taking pictures since I was a teenager.). We could be looking at a program on TV and I will say something about the camera angle on mention something that is caught by a wondering camera shoot and they get all upset because they are caught up in the storyline; or I can go off on a tanget describing some of the technical aspects to taking a picture and my niece will give me this TMI look. But it is a risk you take when you deal with something that you are passionate about. It is kind of hard to rain yourself in. I look foward to the next chapter.
There is no way your chapters are “samey” and as already said, you lead and I will follow. This journey should never end! lol
Decisions, decisions, okay which ever way you decide to go i will always read…just like that school game you used to play when you were a kid, “Follow the Leader” even though sometimes it did get you into alot of trouble, LOL..
Thanks for the update TB, looking forward to more.
I want to hear about the art work but if you chose not to go with that it’s ok It was a little slow try hader next time like yesterday lol!!!!!!!!
I would definitely like to see a trip to see Dali’s work but that is up to you. You could always do it later. After some form of drama..it has to be coming. thanks for the post and such a wonderful chapter
Good chapter. This is beautiful for them and let see what’s next. Post soon, thanks!
That is way too big of a decision for us to make…This is your story and I love it. I will keep reading regardless of the direction you decide to take. In no way is this..”samey” what word is that anyway, def not one to describe you or this story!!!! You mix the correct amount of calm, suspense, NC-17, tension and everything else…Now it’s exciting wondering where you will take us…pls post soon….TKS
Great chapter, tbsaver. And as long as you keep writing, I’ll keep reading. ;) Take us wherever you’d like to go.
