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
“Oh, hi
“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?”
“I’m not even sure” Bette said quietly as she looked up to meet
“OK, let’s start with the basics”
“Home” Bette sighed.
“I know this great little bar on the next block, you wanna go get a drink?”
Mustering a weak smile Bette nodded in agreement.
“Are you going to buy that or what?”
“Not right now” Bette said as she placed it carefully back on the shelf before
“You go find a seat and I’ll take care of the drinks”
With the call placed to Dana and two martinis in hand
“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?”

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.
Nimble handling of a tricky bit of emotion.
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.
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.
i’m glad bette listened…now go back to tina and work it out…merry christmas
i’m with BP here — she’s desperately trying to do the right thing. great chap hackgirl — just brilliant
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!
f is for foshizzle!! dude that was badass i luv alice sumtimes..but i do think t got to c bettes view and so does bette for t…jesus so much drama!!
I was wondering when Alice would get involved. So communication’s still a problem, huh? Hopefully B&T’s next conversation will be less Q&A and more honest. Thanks for the insightful chapter.
yay..go Bette! this is real good..always love your story!
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.
