    Heartbeat – Chapter 7

    Previously…

    Tina accepted the pillow. It was still warm. “Thanks.” She placed the pillow behind her head and inhaled. The pillow smelled of Bette’s shampoo. Tina closed her eyes; the familiar smell of the shampoo lulling her to sleep.

    Bette turned to her side and faced Tina; her face was the last thing Bette saw before she fell asleep and for the second time their fingers entwined of their accord.

     

    Chapter 7

     

    Cardiologist, Dr. Sophia McAllister closed Bette’s chart. “Well, I was looking over the results of your 24 hour Holter monitor and it’s normal. You’re very lucky Elizabeth that it wasn’t a heart attack. When you were wheeled in the E.R. you showed all the signs.

    Bette adjusted her hospital robe. “When do you think I’ll be able to go home?”

    “Your labs came back normal. Seems the overnight stay was good for you.” Dr. McAllister glanced from Bette to Tina. “All I have to do is write the discharge orders and you can go home. But you need to take it easy. No stress.” Dr. McAllister turned to Tina.

    “Ms. Kennard, I’d like a word with you.”

    “Sure,” Tina turned to Bette. “I’ll be right back.”

    Bette watched Tina and Dr. McAllister leave her room. She didn’t like the way the doctor was looking at Tina. She was taking too much interest. Really no to eaves drop, Bette stood near the door to listen.

    Tina and Dr. McAllister stood in the hallway just outside Bette’s room. “Dr. McAllister.”

    “Skip the formalities, it’s just us. I thought you’re on vacation. What are you doing here?”

    Tina smiled at her friend. “I am on vacation. Today actually.” She and Sophia had become fast friends five years ago on their first day of rounds. They had dated for a few weeks and decided they were better off as friends than lovers and friends they have remained.

    “Is Elizabeth a friend of yours?” Sophia leaned against the wall and eyed her friend.

    Tina glanced at Bette’s room. “Elizabeth is Bette.”

    “Ahh,” Sophia smiled at her friend. “So, that’s Bette. You never mentioned she’s beautiful. I can see why you were in love with her.”

    “It was more than her beauty I fell in love with. She was everything to me…maybe could still be everything to me.”

    1. As for pacing – whatever suits you, I’m along for the read. So, am I reading that there was cheatin’ all over the place? Tina/Oscar and Bette/Candace? I got the impression from previous chapters that Bette couldn’t forgive Tina for the affair with Oscar, so maybe that was a misunderstanding on my part. In any case…bring on weeks at the beach house!

    2. Yay!!! Wonderful update, loved it. Hope something can happen for them this time. The garden shows just how much Tina misses her by recreating it. Keep the same pace if you will, it works well for the story. However, do whatever works for you. I think three weeks at the beach house would be a great time to renew their relationship since they most certainly still love ech other. Thanks so much for posting.
