You’re my home – Chapter 22
You’re my home
Chapter 22
Bette was lying on the sofa -occasionally she would look at the clock on the DVD player. It was 9pm and by her reckoning Tina was about to start her 14th hour at work. In one way Bette was glad that this was only going to be for two weeks but she also knew from first hand experience how tired she used to get when she did work days that lasted that long. This was day two of Tina’s punishing schedule and already Bette knew that she and Angie were missing the blonde.
In frustration Bette got up and went outside with the intention of watering the plants. It was one of the chores that she had always enjoyed – standing in the cool night air listening to the hose as she watered the various pots and containers that contained flowers and plants that Tina had bought and cultivated. Even when she had lived alone Bette had been faithful to the old chore and in a way it had made her feel briefly close to her old life -the life she had lost with Tina. But now Tina was back and that had made her more determined to give her best attention to the plants in their garden.
She had been standing hosing the garden for about five minutes when she saw the door open next door and a slight figure walked towards the fence. A brief flicker of light gave the clue that it was Shane. Bette turned the hose off at the tap and walked towards the fence.
“Hey Shane “
“God Bette – you scared me “
“Sorry – you want to come over for a beer ?”
“I don’t want another ass kicking from Tina “
“Tina is still at work – any way – I want to talk to you about that “
“Okay – the house is pretty empty at the moment without – well its empty “
“Come on over “ Bette said
In a few minutes Bette and Shane were sitting with a bottle of beer each. Shane looked like hell Bette thought. It was obvious that the tongue lashing that Tina had dished out had affected her.

Jenny psychotic? Now THERE’S a surprise! Bette the matchmaker? Maybe she should become Tina’s kept woman, it would free up her time for what would have to be the arduous task of persuading Carment to go back to Shane.
I just love the way that you successfully cram so much depth into only 3 pages! Looking forward to seeing you in the spotlight. Bette the matchmaker, huh! Can’t wait to see if she’s able to find Carmen. PPS
I think Tina was every kind of wrong to have gone off on Shane the way she did, and in front of everyone as well. Who does she think she is? Shane isn’t the one causing problems for Tina’s movie. The responsibility for that is on Jenny, who is an adult. As for all the judgment from the group on Shane’s “inappropriate” behavior, I would like to know one time Alice ever thought twice about any impact her actions ever had on anyone..that would be never. Dana and Tonya come to mind, as well as what happened with the social worker, and how she screwed Phyllis, figuratively and literally, no matter what the repercussions to Bette’s job. Alice is not the poster child for thinking of others and emotional maturity. Helena is no angel, and don’t even get me started on Tina. She was wrong to have done such a thing to Shane, who has been her friend for years, and I want to see what SHE is going to do to rectify it,and soon, not just a lame ass apology, and not just letting BETTE find Carmen. I wish Bette would have had something to say to Tina,about what she had done, instead of apologizing for Tina to Shane, but I doubt that is going to happen. I would like Shane to not want to see Tina for a while.
Can’t wait to see how Shane is going to convience Carmen to take another chance at the most unattainable womanin North America. We know they belong together, but will Shane do her usual.I hope Carmen hasn’t found someone else. Tina will get over being so mad at Shane, she just needs a little time away from the set to get her perspective back. Great post. Post again as soon as you can. THANKS!!!
yippeeee, so excititng get Carmen back on the scene, I can barely wait,
That was great and love B&T. Yes carmen is gonna be back again and hope she will help shane to be good. Please post more, thanks!
Shane is like a child,doing things for the thrill of it and not get csght. Tina has a big work load right now. She needs a rest with her family and so loving from her wife. thanks
Carmen?? Can’t wait to see how that unfolds, and Angie being on the set of a movie, now that should be funny! PPS
i always thought shane would mess things up on purpose becuase she was comfortable at whatever level she is at and never wanted to go the next level. tina’s tongue lashing might have worked on shane.nice to see bette and shane talking and i do think tina and shane need to talk after filming is done! :)PPS
Bette on a mission to find Carmen. . .sound like good drama to me!
I don’t comment very often, but I just have to let you know how much I have enjoyed all of your stories. I have read fanfic since it’s beginning and always look for a post of one of your stories. I am looking forward to seeing you in the spotlight. You are a very gifted storyteller and just want to say thanks for all of the hours of entertainment over the years…..Thanks!!
Carmen? why don’t think this is gnna go well ith carmen coming back..i love how helena is with angie the bond is great.
You are The Drama Mama. Excellent writing per usual and I love that you seem to get so much depth and detail in 3 pages. No fluff, all substance. Very satisfying read.
Ally! Glad to see Bette trying to help Shane. So now she’s gonna find Carmen? Well if anyone can do it Bette can. Its great to see Bette and Tina working together too, can’t wait to see Boo on the set!! Great job as usually Ally!
Carmen would be great to have back. I never liked Shane except with Carmen/Shane. I don’t buy Jenny/Niki as any big love story. I don’t think they were ever in love. That doesn’t excuse Shane at all. I just think that pairing is dull as dirt. Anyway, just wanted to say I’d be happy if Carmen came back.
Ahhh, very interesting…Bette going after Carmen to match make them back together. Great update Ally, I love the direction that you’re taking with this story. Please update whenever you can!
Find Carmen and getting her back in Shane’s life should make for a very interesting time in Shane’s life now. I can hardly wait to see if Bette is successful in finding and convincing Carmen to come back, if nothing but to talk to Shane. Drama, drama, drama, you are the Queen. This is going to be very interesting. Post when you can and take care.
I am glad that Bette was there for Shane and really talked with her. I hope that Shane is truly ready to see how far she has fallen and is ready for the return of Carmen. Bette is so sweet and loving with Tina, it is nice to see her take care of Tina. I can’t wait for the next chapter.
