A Thin Line – Chpt 34
“Oh?” I asked, surprised. “And what did she have to say?”
“Well, actually, she was apologizing,” Helena replied, watching my brow furrow inquisitively. “Tina said she’d had time to think about it, and was extremely sorry for verbally assaulting me in my office Friday morning. She sounded quite contrite.”
“I’m sure. She was probably afraid you were considering firing her,” I said matter-of-factly.
“You know I wouldn’t do that, don’t you?” Helena asked, apparently concerned with my perception of her.
I held her hand to my lips and kissed the back of it. I smiled.
“Yes, I know. But she may not,” I replied cynically.
“Bette, call her back. See what she wants,” Helena requested, picking up the phone and offering it to me.
Just then, the phone rang. We looked at each other startled.
I looked at the Caller I.D.
“It’s Alice,” I said to Helena. “Hey, Alice, what’s up?” I answered the call.
“I got somebody here that wants to talk to you. Say ‘hello,’” Alice said cheerfully.
I looked at Helena perplexed.
“Hello?” I said.
I heard a squeal of excitement. “Mama! Mama!”
My eyes lit up and I glanced quickly at Helena to share with her my elation.
“Angelica! Sweetheart! How are you, Baby? Mama misses you.”
“Mama! Mama! See you.”
Helena stroked my arm and smiled at me.
In the background, I heard Alice speaking softly with Angelica. “ Okay, baby, give me the phone. Let me talk to your Mama.”
I heard the phone fall to the floor.
“Alice? Alice?” I called out.
“You still there, Bette?” Alice asked.
“Yes, I’m here. What’s going on? Why do you have Angelica?” I asked excitedly.
“Um, well, Tina called me, ‘cause she has a report to do for Helena tomorrow. So she asked if I’d like to watch your little Boo Boo for a couple of hours. And of course, I said I’d love to. I’m gonna take her to the Planet to visit her Auntie Kit. You wanna join us?”
I was beaming. “Of course,” I answered her. Then to Helena I said, “Will you go with me to the Planet, to visit Angelica and Alice?”
“Of course,” Helena smiled.
“We’ll be there shortly, Alice. Okay?” I said.
“Yeah, okay. Shortly,” Alice answered. “See ya in a bit.”
“Oh! Alice?” I caught her before she hung up. “Do you have any idea why Tina called me this morning?”
“Uh, er, yeah, uh, I think I do,” Alice stammered.
“Alice! Why?” I asked impatiently.
“I gotta go. Angelica’s squirming. I’ll tell ya when ya get here,” she said, hanging up.
I stared at Helena as the phone fell silent in my ear.

I’m giving Tina the benefit of the doubt. She is truly sorry, wants to see Bette happy and she will not create a diversion for their relationship. That’s my fan fic
Oooh, wonder what Tina wants. I think she may want to get back with Bette, but she most likely wants to talk and apologize, I think. I’m looking forward to Helena giving Bette her surprise (I’m still presuming it’s the painting).
yeah I can’t agree with you more snQQpy Tina is certainly into something otherwise it won’t be Tina would it? PPS thx
Well, seems we all want to know what dear Tina is up to. It seems most of us are a bit dubious of her reason. I’m glad you seem to be taking this story where ever it goes.
Poor Tina she cant have what she had with Bette ever again. They both messed that up. thanks
That’s it? Your just gonna leave us hanging ? Oh, you are so bad….Post soon. It’s killing me not knowing what Tina wants. ( I feel like Alice when she get’s left out of the loop. LOL)
you know, i am certainly not a tina fan, but maybe, just maybe she is contrite and wants to say sorry..you know, like…bette, i know you cheated, but i got you back with helena and then then the coup de grasse was banging henry, but can you forgive me…bette’s reply, hell to the “NO”. but being the person that she is, i’m sure bette will say sure tina, i hope you find what you are looking for, but rest assured that it is NOT me!!! am i close? thanks for the post, PLEASE continue to post, love this story and it is so in you to continue writing it!!! THANKS!
ChocolateChild, I’m with you. There is no hope for Tina. She just keeps pushing Bette away. Maybe she can make amends–but what a cliffhanger you left us with!!!!!!!!!
Zheese…great writing. Maybe Tina is going to move away and take Angelica w/her?
*school teacher voice…very calm*…maybe …just maybe…Tina feels bad and wants to make things right. Maybe she had called Bette to watch Angelica but when Bette didn’t answer she made arrangements with Alice…we will see what Tina wanted after the commercial break…let’s not jump to conclusions.
zheese- you rae taking this teasing thing to a whole new level. Why did Tina call Bette? I’m dying to know. And i guess i was wrong about Helena buying that painting for Bette, unless she is waiting to suprise her w/ it in some big reveal later that day. To the planet they all go. Great at least i can count on Alice to spill thebeans about why Tina called Bette. post soon!
1st…….BRB
You have to update this soon! I just hoped Tina isn’t going to cause problems. PLEASE CONTINUE!
Tina probably wants bette back now. Just because she loves to play with Bette’s emotions
Looking forward to the day that Tina stops being a pain in my azz ….. I mean, Bette’s. Who cares why she is calling? Oh wait, let me guess; Bette’s happy and Tina detest that so why not call to upset her at the very least. She probably knows that they are celebrating their week long anniversary and just wants to mess it up.
Great! Now what does Tina want to tell Bette??
