    A Few Small Repairs – Chapter 9

    “Don’t fondle the merchandise unless you’re planning to make a purchase.”

     

    Bette snapped out of her pensive state and looked up to find Alice smiling at her.

     

    “Oh, hi Alice” Bette offered with little enthusiasm.

     

    “Well from your tone I’m guessing you’re not in here perusing the fine wine selection in search of a celebratory drink”

     

    “Your journalistic instincts serve you well” Bette confirmed as she looked down at the bottle of red wine in her hand.

     

    “Drowning sorrows then?” Alice ventured a little further.

     

    “I’m not even sure” Bette said quietly as she looked up to meet Alice‘s inquisitive gaze.

     

    “OK, let’s start with the basics” Alice said before asking “Work or home?”

     

    “Home” Bette sighed.

     

    Alice‘s heart sank upon hearing Bette’s bleak response which complimented her dejected expression. It was immediately obvious that the local liquor store wasn’t the place for a conversation that Bette clearly needed.

     

    “I know this great little bar on the next block, you wanna go get a drink?” Alice asked.

     

    Mustering a weak smile Bette nodded in agreement. Alice could be a pain in the ***** but it was times like this that Bette remembered just what a good friend she was.

     

    “Are you going to buy that or what?” Alice asked as she nodded at the bottle of red wine still in Bette’s grasp.

     

    “Not right now” Bette said as she placed it carefully back on the shelf before Alice led the way to the closest bar she knew.

     

    “You go find a seat and I’ll take care of the drinks” Alice instructed as they entered the dimly lit bar. Finding a seat wasn’t exactly looking like a challenge given it was mid-afternoon on a Tuesday but Alice needed to call Dana and delay their planned retail therapy session.

     

    With the call placed to Dana and two martinis in hand Alice made her way over to the booth that Bette had chosen.

     

    “Jesus, Bette, you look like someone shot your dog. What’s going on?”

     

    “Tina doesn’t want children” Bette blurted out before she quickly added “At least I don’t think she does.”

     

    “Well have you tried asking her?” Alice offered as she raised her eyebrows to accentuate the question.

    1. I think Tee looked a bit too much into it. I mean, she’s a little over-sensitive. Bette was just trying to help. Tee should be moved, but tell Bette her thoughts directly. It may be a better way.

    2. Tina should have spoken to Bette about how she was feeling. Tina’s always telling Bette that she should open up and let her in emotionally; but, she not practicing what she preaches. Tina talks to Alice when she should talk to Bette. Bette was a bit insensitive, but she was trying to help. I guess I can understand both sides. They both need to talk to one another…really talk — openly and honestly. Thanks for the update. Merry Christmas…enjoy your holiday.

    3. See Alice can be good for more than just fun and funny games. But I still don’t think Bette was wrong here. Tina has been over the top about having a baby again.

    4. Maybe, they were both being insensitive to each other, but neither were in the wrong; save for Tina with her rude age comment. If Tina could have just expressed her true fears, then perhaps Bette wouldn’t have been so quick to provide a solution that ultimately caused more issues between the two. Happy holidays to you too!

    5. HG,Am back and ready to revel in your latest addition to this brilliant story.It was very pleasling to see Alice give Bette a big ole clunk on the head and get her sweet ass back on the straight and narrow towards Tina.Just like life it often takes someone else to show you the wood from the trees.Keep these little gems a-coming coz I’m a-waiting.Thank you,Your Loyal Fan.
