The Push and The Pull
The Push and The Pull
Bette lay in her bed. She shut her eyes tight and curled her legs up to her chest. She knew that she was alone and yet didn’t want to admit it to herself. She knew that if she took a deep breath in that she would be able to smell Tina’s perfume. No matter how many times she had washed this particular set of bed sheet that scent remained. Sometimes you just can’t get rid of the thing that you most want to rid yourself of. Bette stayed still a while longer. Maybe if she stayed in this position she would be rewarded for her tenacity. Somehow she doubted it but she could only hope.
Tina was just about to crawl into bed. Her hair was still slightly damp from the shower but she didn’t care. She was too tired to care. It had been a long night. One actress throwing a tantrum was one actress too many. Why did so many directors insist on doing night shoots? Didn’t they realise that she wasn’t as young as she used to be? They should also realise that it wasn’t her job to police shoots that were going horribly wrong. Tina pulled back the sheets. They smelt so good. That clean smell that you only got in the best hotels. She then smiled, despite herself. This was a company perk and she shouldn’t really complain. She was lucky to have this job and to do the thing that she loved.
Bette had to give in. She turned over and opened one eye. There it was. The empty side of the bed. She was tired. In the deep recesses of her mind she thought about how if she was tired of New York she was tired of life. Maybe she really was just tired of life then. Or maybe it was just the push and the pull. How long had it been going on for? She wanted to say ten years, but in reality it had been going on for much longer than that. In reality it had started the day that Tina had mentioned that she might like to have children. How that conversation had changed their lives forever, and not always for the good.
