Chapter 4

‘’This is Bette Porter & Tina Kennard’s Residence, we are not able to take your call right now, but leave a message and either Tina or I will get back to you’’ BEEEEEP!

‘’Tina, please baby if you are there,please pick up. Look I’m so sorry for fucking up, but I need to explain what & why I did what I did. We were flailing and I thought that you didn’t desire me anymore. We had stopped communicating on so many levels that I just thought that it was only a matter of time before our relationship broke beyond repair and I was a coward for not confronting our problems head on. You practically threw yourself into the center, coming home late, even working weekends that was supposed to be our time together, I just felt that you didn’t want to be near me anymore, so I did the same. I threw myself into work and I guess we just settled that neither one of us wanted to get back on track. We were sort of in no mans land, we just accepted that we were civil enough to each other so why rock the boat.

Then you went on that Dinah Shore trip with the girls and you came back sorta refreshed, but it was too late, I was already on that downward spiral. Baby please if you are there, please wait for me and we can fix this, we really can.

Baby none of this is your fault, it’s all mine. I’m the one that has fucked this up and I am the one that can make you feel better babe, please Tina give me one more chance to prove that I do love & desire you. Look I’m nearly home please be there…’’

Bette hangs up the phone and puts her foot down.

Meanwhile back at the house……..

Tina has collected a few of her things and left Bette a note by the phone…..

Tina stands there and listens to Bette on the answer phone, tears running down her face, wondering wheather to intercept the call or not,’’No’’ she thought. She just carried on listening hearing the pain in Bette’s voice, she slumped down against the wall holding her head crying
