    Determined, Bette tries to take steps forward…to whatever life may hold for her and Tina.

     

    CHAPTER 9

     

    (It was as though the weight of her world had now amounted to only the burden of a feather, and no spastic thoughts and feelings occupied her mind’s eye or heart’s center.  Bette drove down the highway as she had come the day before, but she was now on a different journey, a wholly altered path, a road not leading her but a trail she would blaze into her life, her future and her destiny.  She was calm, yet almost euphoric. 

     

    Bassey’s appearance had been the crowning death knell on her recent sojourn in an angst- ridden life.  It’s as though Bassey’s reappearance was a catalystalthough, she thought, Alice and Rose certainly caused a final and haze-lifting catharsis.  Alice seemed to annoy Bette right into self-awareness.  She had finally let go and fallen apart, and now they had helped her rise again.  It all seemed a little silly nowthe long, drawn out process from then to nowdid it really have to be so difficult?  Alice was right, Bette had gone too far in her rationalizing and not far enough in simply feeling her deepest emotions.

     

    She thought about Bassey again.  She remembered the words between them.  She started to remember the last vestiges of their bittersweet relationship.  She recalled her words to Rose the night that she had made ‘first contact’ with Bassey “Rose, it’s as though I’ve never felt the human body before, as though I’ve never touched something quite like it ever.  I didn’t want to stop touching, caressing, sensing, stroking, kissing, holding herwhen she held me I felt reunited with my inner self.”  Rose sat stunned at her friend’s exposition that night.  However, the word “love”, Bette now recalls, never entered that discussionor subsequent ones.  It was odd, Bette thinks to herself, how no one ever came out and mentioned itas though they were just taking it for granted.  Was that her first love? 

     

    Regardless, was what she had now discovered in this woman she barely knew, whom she had seen all of three times, this ‘crow-bar lady’ as Alice calls herwas she the savior foretold by every fibre of Bette’s being, which enlivened her and moved her like never before?  If all her pain, her emptiness, anguish, confusion, and unhappiness this past long while was payment she was required to make so that the gods would give her a brief respite with this woman of incalculable affect on her body and soul, then it was payment she would gladly make all over again.  ‘I have to make this work,’ she thought.  If love had only been a figment of her imagination before, merely a jest played on her by higher powers, then surely now this had to be the real thingit had to.

    2. If its Alice please let her tell Bette she is moving to Japan. If it the Teacher shot her. {not really} get rid of her fast before Tina runs. This was way to short. thanks

    4. Wow..very lovely. Bette has gone through a metamorphosis of sort. After the intervention with Alice and Rose, she has become “aware” of what she wants in her life and the possibility of with whom. That was written quite lovingly, because it was as if Bette slowly moved the curtain of uncertainty aside and was finally seeing the possibilities open to her life. Well written. Bette and Elaine are going to be very good friends, the have a lot in common and they respect one another. That is really great to have in a friendship. Tina’s response or feelings towards Bette are soft, refreshingly innocent, and yet very intense. I cannot wait for how she progresses with her feelings towards Bette. You have certainly left us at rather a climatic moment. LOL. Hmmm, wonder who is knocking at the door? Thank you for this wonderful update, so glad you continued on with this amazing story. And I am grateful to “the weird little thoughts…” that started to plague you yesterday. Cheers.

    11. Wow Awesome…so now where are the rest of the pages…now your teasing us….I really enjoy the detail of your story, you don’t skimp at all and that allow more enjoyment for us readers…pls post soon…

    13. GULP! That build up was amazing, yet tender and cute. Bette really seems to be losing her cool around Ms. Tina. Thanks so much for deciding to continue with this terrific story.
