Chapter 35

Tina woke the next morning feeling tired, her dreams were invaded by one Bette Porter, she stretched in bed and looked at the clock 8:00am ‘uugh I so wanted to sleep in’ Tina put on sweat pants and a tank top, and put her hair up in a messy pony tail, she planned on lounging around until it was time to head to her mom and dad’s, she made coffee and some toast.

She was going to sit on the balcony in one of the lounge chairs and catch up on her reading. She walked outside book in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other, what she saw out in the sand made her stop dead in her tracks, there sitting on the beach, on her beach was none other than Bette Porter herself, she looked heavenly wearing white linen pants and a black very snug t-shirt she had her toes buried in the sand her hair loosely blowing in the wind. She looked deep in thought she looked like she belonged there, on her beach close to her.

Bette felt eyes staring at her, she had gotten there about 30 minutes before and knew Tina was asleep, she saw the sleek black Audi parked in the driveway, she smiled to herself, thinking how Tina still had a thing for Audi’s she figured Tina was home, and if she wasn’t she would wait here all day for her if she had. She prayed Tina was home alone and had not invited Helena to spend the night, she needed to talk to her without any interruptions or distractions. She decided to sit out on the sand until a respectful hour then she would knock on Tina’s door and pray Tina wouldn’t slam the door on her face.”

Alley had called Bette late last night and invited her over for dinner to celebrate Steve’s birthday, Alley had told her Tina had the day off and she would be attending that’s when Bette figured today would be a good day to talk to Tina, she didn’t want Tina to find out about her return from anyone but her.

Bette turned, placed her designer sunglasses on her head as hazel eyes met brown ones they both stood there for a second in place, both making sure their eyes were not playing tricks on them.
