Where You Go There You Are
Chapter 44
Bette looked over the pile off stretched frames and canvases growing in size just waiting for inspiration to make them complete. A fleeting stab of sadness struck her, Angelica would never be the one to grace these canvases with her brilliance. Well maybe she would have to do something about that by sending them to Angelica’s home. They spent the remainder of the day together completing the task they had started that morning. Alice for her part hung around for a time sprinkling the conversation with Alice euphemisms. That was the only way Bette knew how to describe the myriad of topics that came out of Alice’s mouth.
Alice realized after a while that Bette really did intended on finishing up her work, something that Alice didn’t want any part of, so with a final sigh, "You making dinner tonight Bette?"
"Yeah Alice that’s the plan. I plan on using this finger” holding up her index finger for Alice’s inspection, "to dial the number. I’d invite you to join us but don’t you have a family to go home to?" Bette asks reminding Alice that they had all been together just last night
"Yeah and we have a commitment tonight." Alice concedes letting her disappointment show.
Bette winks at her letting Alice know that she appreciates having the evening alone with Angelica. Bette wants to clue Alice in on Tina but is afraid of what might happen. No she thinks for now she’ll just give her an option. "Well if you’re not too busy in the morning come by and bring Dana."
Alice stares at Bette processing Bette’s last tidbit. It didn’t help when Bette wiggled her eyebrows up and down. This gets Alice’s curiosity going but having known Bette for more than a quarter century she knew no matter how much she prided pried she has already gotten all she was going to get. Bette never revealed anything before it’s time.
All that is left for Alice is to say goodbye for now. "Oh …well goodbye then, Angelica it was great spending the afternoon with you maybe we can finish that story next time."
Angelica for her part didn’t grasp the hidden conversation between Alice and Bette. For her the mention of the story brought a blush to her cheeks and immediate concern at what Bette might think if she knew. This left her embarrassed enough that she only mumbles her goodbye.

Hopefully Angie opens up to Bette. I also hope Tina gives her a bit more time, or at least agrees to stay awhile. Cannot believe from your other chapter that Alice has not figured it out.
it kinda bothers me that angie doesn’t seem to be thinking about how worried her mom could be since she hasn’t talked to her in a few days. wasn’t expecting another chapter today so that was a real treat. thank you!
It seens that Angie isnt to worried that her Mom is worryed about her. Just hope that Nette can get to the bottom of this before Tina takes her back home. Angie would just leave again. Ihope together that Tina and Bette can help Angie. Angie is Tinas life,hope she realize that she could have been Bettes also thanks
So good.
Ooooh, jury duty. My sympathies. I’m all for democracy and jury of peers and such, but that be painful. Literally. The worst was the courthouses in lower Manhattan, you know, the ones they’re always going in and out of on Law & Order. Massive cattle calls and not enough seats. When you did get one, chances were it was a wooden bench. At the time I didn’t have too much meat on my, uh, bones. It really did hurt! And I still smoked then and they still had a smoking room. More like a windowless pen. Not sure why I bothered to light my own, all you had to do was try to breath in there and you got PLENTY of nicotine. But boredom ruled, so we all lit up. You never saw a larger pile of butts. OK, so how is Bette going to get Angelica to spill? I know! Send over S. Epatha Merkerson!
Hope Bette has enough time to find out whats up with Angelica before Tina takes her away. Then maybe the two of them can figure out how to fix it. Thanks for the great posts. PPS
OMG, I won’t sleep tonight…..
Hey there my friend! I hope jury duty wasn’t horrible, but you better have gotten some writing in! Even if I don’t always comment, I am following your talented writing and want more! LOL! *HUGS*
WOW!!!! I just caught up. I love it!!! I just hope Angie does not run from Bette. Thank you
Excellent torture to leave us hanging there along with Angelica – hope you get the justice thing done really quick.
Great chapter can’t wait for the talk n hope Angie talk n listen to B:)PPS
i hope angelica will trust bette enough to talk to her
How goes the party? Lots of merriment; not to mention food and drinks! I’m so surprised that Angelica did not think of home and mom, since she also slip and made the comment about how her mom loves thai. Loving the story; mmmm, finish by Christmss, that’s just a week away….looking forward to more, more, more. Jury duty…good luck! Happy happy…thank you.
yeah those talks. dont wanna scare the kid or talk down to them, but want honest dialogue. sometimes very hard especially when kids want to please. never done jury duty. it would be a day off. remember theyre guilty!! thx
I was touched by the depth of Bette’s friendships with Alice, James and Shane. Alice had the best line “Bette never revealed anything before its time.” Now it’s time for Bette and Angelica to speak from the heart and reveal themselves to one another.
WOW 2 chapters in one night, that was awesome and I like itttt lol! Hope Angie feel safe enough to open up to Bette and she can help her. Please post soon when u have time my friend, thanks and have a good monday to u too!
