Window of Opportunity
Chapter 31
Bette
The next couple days passed with Angie feeling better each day. Tina stayed with Angie on Wednesday and she and Alice spent time together. Alice bombarded Tina with questions about what was taking place with us but Tina didn’t confirm anything. I agree with Tina that we will get caught at some point so why not just enjoy without the pressures that will inadvertently be placed on us when Alice and the community know. Alice has been approached by women wanting information about me and my status for which she has tried to dissuade them in as she put it hopes of giving me time to get over Jodi. As she told Tina, she was buying her time and she better act on it soon or she would lose out. If she only knew that Tina didn’t need to act on anything. She had me completely and that’s how it should be.
Al and Tina prepared the lasagna together. Well, according to Tina, she prepared it and Alice drank wine keeping her company. They talked about the gift I had given Tina to the spa and Tina explained it to Alice as a way of me making amends. Alice was excited at the thought of getting away especially since it consisted of being with the girls and tried to convince Tina to have James watch Angie so I could go too. The wine made Alice more pliable and she gave that up when Tina asked her how receptive would she be to having Angie for a weekend with no one nearby to help out.
I need to make arrangements with her tomorrow to go to the cemetery to see Dana. When I suggested it at The Planet that was not just me trying to diffuse an emotional moment. I know Alice wants to go often but isn’t emotionally able to go by herself. No one except Suzanne knows that during the time that Tina and I were at our worst, I went to see Dana almost weekly. Dana had always been one of my biggest supporters. When she died, I lost someone who had never been anything but totally supportive to me and my efforts. Many thought that Dana was an airhead and at times she was but she also had a side that few ever saw. Because she was quiet, she was often forgotten when others talked. She took that time to be observant. She was one of the most insightful people I knew in matters that didn’t pertain to her own life. After she died and I started visiting the cemetery, I really started to examine myself and my life. That is the time that I seriously started looking into finding a good therapist and hooked up with Suzanne. Dana died much too young with too many unfinished dreams. It scared me that could have been me. It could have been me with Tina left not knowing that she was the love of my life and my life only had true meaning when she was a part of it. Dana’s death was the kick in the pants that I needed for myself to start working on myself. The results, although still a work in progress, are constantly making me a happier person.

:o … Bust my chops!? Yikes! Scary! Would be cheaper than collagen injections for producing sexy, pouty (or is that puffy?) lips though, eh?…heheh…Now, nag, where is that sweet, senstive, artistic-type writer I’ve come to appreciate? Have you resorted to taking lessons in belligerence from your un-scholastic Spawns of Satan? Hmmm…Let’s see…9 pages written after wine…an R rating…prolly makes it especially read-worthy…guess I’ll go take a looksee. :P Be back soon.
I can’t say enough how much I love this story. It is so sweet and loving and just the best. Thanks! Can’t wait for more.
Holy Sh*t! That chapter was the bomb! Wouldn’t even know where to begin to pick out my favorite parts…there are so many. Your style is uniquely yours, nag. Thanks for writing :)
