“Bette do you want to eat out or at home?”
“Ti you know I prefer to eat out at home.”
“Well that’s not gonna happen today.” Tina chuckled. “Do you want to have brunch at The Planet with everyone or do you want to eat lunch here?”
“Let’s go to The Planet. I’ll get Angie ready.”
Soon Bette, Tina and Angelica joined Alice, Shane, Helena and Jenny, they were all sipping their beverage of choice and waiting for their food, Angelica exhibiting less patience than the other women at the table.
“Hey porter, you look tired as hell was Angel sick last night?”
“Thanks Al. No she’s fine. I guess she’s just a little cranky today.”
“Just like her Momma B. So what’s the problem?” Alice asked.
“Whoever said that two people can sleep comfortably on an air mattress should be tortured.”
“It’s not that bad Bette, it’s better than a sleeping bag.” Alice defended herself.
“Why are you sleeping on an air mattress?” Helena inquired.
“With all the construction mess we couldn’t sleep in the bedroom and we like to spend weekends at the house so we can use the pool and can check up on the progress of our little construction/renovation project. Besides, Bette goes into withdrawal if she’s not around her art.”
Most of the construction was for the upstairs addition with some minor adjustments to the bedroom but due to some unexpected rainy weather during the week, the workers had started using the bedroom as a staging area and it looked like it was going to take more than a fresh coat of paint and the new furniture to make it right. It had barely been habitable before the sight of a table saw, lumber, construction equipment, and layers of dust coated surfaces barely covered in plastic sheets made Bette apoplectic with anger.
“I take it you didn’t sleep well Bette,” said Helena.
“No. I did not.”
“Why didn’t you move to the couch?” Asked Shane slightly bewildered that someone as smart as Bette wouldn’t think of it.
Tina choked on her coffee. She had recommended Bette do so several times and offered to move to the couch herself, but Bette had refused.
“Tina and I both traveled this week. I have no desire to sleep alone on the couch during the weekend.” Bette had suffered through many lonely nights while she and Tina were apart and frankly when they were back together after Angelica was born. Sleeping alone on the couch didn’t hold many fond memories for Bette. Now that that distance and loneliness was no longer a part of life it was bad enough that when they traveled she slept alone, sleeping with Tina beside her, their limbs touching, gave her a sense of security.

I was wondering a day or so ago when we’d hear from you again. Excellent chapter. I’m also one of the people who’d like more “WeHo West.”
Good chapter. Nice to see you back.
great story and glad to see another chapter…thanks!
Thanks for posting… I wonder which one of the friends will like the P.I. she seems to want to get to know Helena. I like this Bette & Tina…they are communicating more and more.
“Want Rebel Yell”, cried funnyone. Actually I never drank the stuff, but used to stock it for a certain someone long, long ago. But maybe Bette would be kind enough to spoon it to me anyway. I’m sure I could develope a taste for it. Another maybe for Bette to consider is setting up surveillance cameras on the “work” crew that is doing more drinking and destruction than renovation on her home. Or she could hire Tina’s PI. God, there’s surveillance all over the place. Just hope they don’t find that Joyce has a card hidden up her sleeve.
Oh yeah, before I forget: We want WeHo!
Welcome back! Missed your great writing with this story and WeHo West. I love both of them. Please hurry back with both if possible. :)

Missed your story. Glad to see you back. Loved the chapter.
I was glad that you posted. I was just thinking, not something that I do often, and wondering what had happened to you. I hope that you will be able to continue this story. I have enjoyed B&T reuniting and getting things back together. By the way I like Kathleen and I am sure that she will catch one of the girls.
Yay, Madcapper is back!!! Don’t stay away for so long. You are giving me hope for B and T that stupid IC is probably going to take away.
Good to see you back MC and this is good chapter. Love the way B&T have now, they are communicating more, Angel is cute. Kathleen seem nice and hot and I think she and Helena will be hot as a couple. Ok post soon please, thanks!
I LOVE this story MC. This was an excellent chapter and as usual your writing is supberb! You have a superior quality in being able to keep the drama and characters realistically sound. I especially liked the last sentence of this chapter…”Their enduring love defied logic and reason and for the most part instead of questioning the why, how, wherefore they were accepting it and each other with gratitude in their hearts.” It was grandly stated and as it should be. Thanks for continuing to write and for sharing your talents here, with us.
YEA Most excellent and to top it off West Ho may be coming to a post soon I’m in heaven. Now I think I’ll have some Rebel Yell and scurry off to bed happy. Thanks Mad it’s great.
you posted again! yes! what a good new! i hope you won’t let us without your story for so long. B&T are doing great, maybe they will have difficult situations but they will make it!
i love this story…thanks
Just catching up with your story… love this B&T, and this new PI Kathleen – tell us more! And as far as “my next post may be a long awaited (by a few) update to How the WeHo West Was Won.”… you may count me among those (not so) few. ;-)
That’s great as ever. But please try to not let us wait for too long. ;)
