The Journey 21
Bette’s Friday night
I haven’t been able to concentrate on anything else for the last 24 hours, other than the fact that Tina and I are still married. I haven’t spoken to Tina since Thursday night. I am sitting out the back waiting for Kit to arrive. We are going to have a bite to eat, then I am staying in for the night. Choco is sitting in my lap and I pat him with my left hand as I hold my drink in my right. I have a thought. I put Choco down as I make my way inside. I head to the art I bought while I was away. I bought a print of self portrait by Alice Bailey. I roll it out on the table and study it for a few minutes. The doorbell goes and I absent mindedly put my drink down to answer it.
Bette: “Hey, Kit, come on in.”
Kit: “Hey, baby sis, what are you doing?”
Bette: I close the door as Kit heads over to art work lying on the table. “Drink?”, I call out as I head for a refill. “I thought we’d just order in.” I return with the sparkling water Kit asked for and my neat scotch to which she raises an eyebrow.
Kit: “Celebrating or drowning the sorrows?” I look at Bette’s drink.
Bette: “Not sure yet. Kit, did you know Tina didn’t sign the divorce papers?”
Kit: I sigh. “Yes, and before you ask” I put my hand up to deter Bette from interrupting, “it was her decision, Bette. I thought she should be the one to tell you.”
Bette: I nod. I am not upset with Kit. I sip my drink as I think.
Kit: “Oh uh, I know why I am a singer and not an art critic, what is that ugly thing anyway?” I get up close to the print on the table.
Bette: “Kit.” I shake my head at her. “It is not ugly, it’s unsettling and ambiguous; that’s how it is meant to be. It is a print of Alice Bailey’s Self Portrait, painted in 1917.”
Kit: “Whatever you say, baby sis.”
Bette: “Really, come over here. Look closely, there is only half the face painted in, the other half isn’t there. See how there is no eye or mouth in this part?” I point out.

great cliffy! anywho, I hope Bette finally LISTENS to Tina. she hears but does not seem to comprehend too well in this story. I hope this changes so these two can work it out. all of this angst can’t be good for either, and especially not the baby.

Oh please don’t leave me hanging. you have to post really soon, like now please? I love it, great story.
Please it would never be ‘because I love you’. This would go against the laws of physics in this case Bette and Tina. It has to be a struggle for these ladies to get finally together. So I’ll wait patiently until it happens.

Ok when we asked for another chapter today I wasn’t expecting another cliffhanger!!! Lovely chapter, you keep up the great work!
You are so darn evil. Nice cliffhanger, and I’m glad these two are going to finally lay their cards on the table. Unless of course someones cell phone craps out.
maybe Bette can “fly” to Tina’s house immediately…that would do the job. hehehehe…another chapter soon pls..? this is great!
AHHHHHHHH come on … you’re killing me :) hehehehe …. so close yet so far (but alittle closer than farther) i hope … don’t u have off 2 days for the Jewish holidays, then Columbus and then Yom Kippur … hmmmm … do i see MANY chapters in the upcoming week. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
