Chapter 7
Looking around the house, Tina wanted to give it one more look around to make sure all the windows were closed and the doors locked before she left. It would be two weeks before she would be back and she hadn’t planned on anyone checking in on her home while she was gone. The plan was for her to spend the day in her office, her flight to Vancouver not scheduled to take off until early evening. It would make for a long day but it was worth it to maximize her time. There never was enough hours in a day to get everything done.
The moment Tina arrived at her office the usual chaos began. There was a line up of associates waiting to see her. Tina thought she had dealt with all of these requests yesterday. “Does it ever end around here?” she says to herself.
It seemed that once again everyone knew she would be out of the office for a few weeks. This meant having to go through the proper channels for approvals. Getting a quick meeting with Tina today might mean shortcutting pages of paperwork. It was worth the chance for them. But for Tina the sight of all these people waiting to talk to her almost brought her to her knees. This was this aspect of her job she hated. She hated having to always weigh this need against another. She always was trying to judge in her mind which was a better way to spend the studio’s money. Tina knew she would feel compelled to listen to all the requests.
Just when Tina wanted to chuck it and run back home she thought of Angelica. She was the reason Tina put up with all of this. There was no one else to lean on to provide the life she wanted for Angelica. Just her and her alone, this was the path she chose all those years ago and this was the path she was determined to make work. Grimacing Tina took a deep breath and dug in telling her assistant, “Make sure I’m out of here in with plenty of time to get to the airport.”

Gosh don’t we all wish we could have a friend like Paige (insert sarcasm here). I think that Paige needs a big wake-up call and hopefully Angelica is the one to do it. Parenting isn’t easy, I think Tina feels that in this story to the nth degree. She made a bad choice and continues to aggravate it by not being upfront with Angelica about her ethnicity and past. In trying to maybe shelter her she’s made a bad choice? It’s hard when fears, emotions, and uncertainty cloud vision, even when it comes to kids! Thanks…great story!
Have you been brushing up on your skateboarding skills mate?? You have all the terminology, and I’m just wondering if you have been out in the halfpipes giving it some welly!
Thanks so much for the update. Very interesting…now it’s time for Angie to run straight to the new shelter where Bette will surely “connect” with her. :) PPS
Poor. What a tangled web we weave, and all that……………
time to run away from paige and meet bette and shane, angie can’t be alone and she needs someone
Wow! I agree with Probie on on Tina’s irresponsibility on exposing Angie to her Black culture. It’s an important piece of anyone’s life to know where they came from especially for persons of mixed heritage. As for Paige, drunks speak truths. She has been harbouring these thoughts for a long time and all the alcohol did was act as a catalyst. I hope Angie gets the good enogh sense to drop Paige as a friend. She does not need that negativity in her life, especially with her confused mind already. She is in desperate need of an intervention and unfornately Tina is not her right mind to give one at this point. P.S-Angie is so busted! Post Soon!
A post from you is always worth the wait. : )
You go JWET!!! I can totally understand Tina’s drive to provide the best for Angelica. Let’s remember that when Tina left after season one her heart was broken after her best friend and lover betrayed her. I can understand after that the determination to not only do it on her own, but to provide the best she could for Angelica. As far as not bringing any of the African American culture into Angelica’s life, well, that was a big mistake in my opinion, but again, this Tina is so proud, and so stubborn that she really wants to give Angelica the best she can all on her own. Just my mutterings! Thanks! Oh, and Paige? Ya gotta love jealousy and alcohol mixed together!
Great update. I can’t wait to see what happens next. Lol, Now I have this image of you skateboarding in my head.
Okay, I just got done reading this chapter finally. lol I love this chapter. Paige is not a great friend for Angelica. Angelica has to get rid of her before she hurts her worse. Anyways, I really hope that Tina doesn’t try to surprise Angelica in San Diego, but I have a funny feeling that she will. Shane is just being a great friend to Bette, and I hope that Bette isn’t keeping anything from her. Keep it coming. PPS
And Paige is Angelica’s friend? Some friend. She is purely jealous of Angelica because the guys are vying for her attention. I sure hope that Bette is not sick but just tired. Maybe a trip to SD will give her the kick she needs or maybe a trip for Angie up to LA will be the ticket for her.
That Paige needs to be spun around and slapped up the head by Aunt Kit!! Angie needs her mama Bette so much right now, adolescents are so very very vulnerable.
Poor Angie!
“Behind the eight ball” must be the phrase of the week. I just read it in allyemmerson’s latest chapter. XD Okay off to read this one now! :D
They both need Bette
Darling…Sorry for the delay…But here I am and if you allow me I´m going to kick Pages´s ass and tahn Tina´s! WTF she was thinking? Good as usual, darling. Thanks!
Paige is a sorry, spiteful shit. Tina’s just kind of sorry. You haven’t really made it clear what Bette is, sick or tired. Could it be that each has what the others need?
Oh what the hell? Angie, why didn’t you just knock the shit out of Paige? She’s drunk, she won’t feel it…till the next morning. Then laugh because she’s hungover and sporting either a fat lip or black eye. Or maybe both! I feel bad for both Angie and Tina. Why Tina chose to do the single mother bit I know not. More punishment for the carpenter? No idea. But what I DO know is Bette better not get fatally ill because I’d be sad and no one would enjoy me as a sad person.
What the hell is wrong with Paige? Angie should have kick the shit out of her. What the Hell is wrong with Tina? Please let Bette be OK. I so love Shane. Thanks Jwet Will Angie now turn up in LA?
Well that was wicked! It bad enough Tina chose to do the single mom thing and keep Angie from Bette, but to not expose Angie to her other culture is just irresponsible. I can’t believe in the big world that we live in, she couldn’t find positive black role models for Angie to get a sense of who she is. God she could have at least tried on her own. WTH!!! What’s that song “Smiling Faces”. With a friend like Paige, who needs enemies. She is just a jealous little witch and Angie needs to get as far away from her as possible. Guess it’s time for Angie to run away and make it to LA.
I feel bad for Paige. I have known some girls who needs lots of attention from boys; that doesn’t mean we can not be friends. To me, for Angelica to drop Paige as a friend says a lot about her lack of maturity; then again she is just 16! Can’t wait for the next chapter. Thanks!
Hey JWet, Wnat another wonderful chapter that was. Good to see that Angelica has her mothers’ presence on the dance floor. And what a Bi-atch Paige has turned out to be. Suddenly Angelica was a romantic threat and the worst of Paige oozes out and attacks her. Now, I do winder who Angelica will run into as she escapes. Do tell soon please. Tina is so wound up in her job and providing for Angelica that she has lost a sense of herself. I do hope that she manages to free up some vacation time and heads towards California to chill and recuperate. Shane is Bette’s rock here. Strong, steady and constant. I just hope that they meet Angelica soon. Many thanks for this awesome adventure. So many possibilities and magical writing. It is your talent that forces me to return time and time again. I do enjoy every minute of it. Your Loyal Fan.
Great update Jwet. I feel sorry for Tina and the hardships she faces by being a single mother. And Angie too … It’s time for them to meet Bette. Maybe Angie does first … PPS
Amen to what Jackiee1 said! PPS!!
Jwet…..What an excellent job!. I can feel Tina’s frustration. She wants to give Angie the best of everything but that means working like Bette did back in the day. Not enough time for family. Angie is pretty level-headed and doesn’t want to get involved in situations that she can’t handle. Paige is a little bit slutty and is jealous that Angie gets asked to dance more than she. PPS.
You described Tina as tired from making decisions with long reaching implications. She’s unable to set limits in her work and personal life so people including her daughter use her to get what they want. Keeping Angie’s origins from her and not supporting her heritage is cruel. It’s all building up to bite Tina in the butt. I hope Bette will be part of the solution. This was a great chapter and how about another soon.
