A Walk on the Wild Side – Chapter 21
“Baby, I promise you that I will be careful. I have a permanent reminder of what happens when you are not careful..remember?” Tina grabbed Bette’s hand, which was still hooked onto the dashboard in a vice like grip.
“Promise me you wont come out here on your own once I’m gone” Bette pleaded desperately. “Promise me you will stay at the studio”
Tina sighed wondering if it wouldn’t be easier to lie. At least that way Bette could leave without worrying She thought. No, I can’t begin our lives with a lie. She isn’t stupid, she will know that I cannot resist coming back out here one last time. “Baby that’s a promise you know I can’t keep” Tina explained patiently. “But I promise you that I wont go anywhere without Vual by my side.”
Bette looked down at her lap, the cold fingers of fear gripping her heart tightly. “I couldn’t face it if I lost you now” she sobbed. “I just want you to collect up your work, get it shipped over, and join me as soon as you can.”
“I will baby, as soon as everything’s ready, I’ll be on the first plane to LA. Tina looked into Bette’s eyes hoping she would see the truth in her eyes. “I promise.”
The drive back to the National Park Rangers compound was spent on the whole in silence, both women deep in their own thoughts and fears about their soon to be enforced separation for a month.
Bette hardly noticed the spectacular scenery they passed, her mind on how she was going to cope on her own. I wonder what Franklin would say if I contacted him and told him I needed another month to secure the exhibit she wondered idly. But that would mean I would miss the opening of the Summer show.
I’ve never missed an opening in my life she thought. Even that time she had been struck down with pnumonia She had dragged herself out of her sickbed, and had single handedly ensured the opening had been the spectacular success it was. She felt the familiar buzz of excitement as she thought back to that night. She was the talk of the art world, In one single night her standing in the community had risen ten fold. No, she thought gently shaking her head, I’ve worked too hard to let someone take the credit for my work.

sayin bye is really, really hard. Bette should have been the one to turn back, T was being the sentimental one, and I liked that. Now she’s gonna run off to apologize to B (unless she “walks” into some unforeseen drama, being in the jungle and all….and then knowing how u like cliffies…hmmm). Ok so u didn’t give a date as 2 ur next post,….soooo maybe we’ll get 1 or 2 in another hour >>>>”hint, hint” LMAO!!!!
OMG Awesome T… Sad but awesome. I am home for a while resting. I know i am getting old when body parts start to fall off. ROFL… J/K. So glad to read your post. I think I missed one tho. Trying to catch up K. Later dude.
Hi TB. Love this story.
I guess Bette can’t help being an a**. Never let the sun go down with anger. Let them meet halfway?
you old softie you. ;) that was sweet. even the melt down. we understand where that came from. you know its ok to post more than once a day. (hint hint). did you have fun.
Damn that Bette and her type A persoanlity. I hope she’s feeling pretty shitty right now, she deserves to and I hope she thinks better of it and turns around and says a proper goodbye. Well done Ms tbsaver, great chapter as always :)
Yeah Tina go say good bye to Bette and tell her what you feel right now. Post soon, thanks!
Have you been taking lessons from “Flairforthedramatic?” Why must you leave us hang like this? You must know we can’t wait to read your next post. And just exactly how did Tina think Bette WOULD react? I guess you’ll have T just miss Bette before she gets on her plane. Oh, the agony.
Tina want get far,because Bette will turn back. Can’t leave your lover in angry. Love this story thanks
There went my heart again. Tina better make it to that damn airport…please post soon
K
Excellent chapter, I hope T gets to B in time to say bye or see you later. Love this.
I found it interesting that Tina would choose such a fragile time in their relationship to make a stand about saying good-bye. Emotions are raw for both of them, now is the time for reassurance and communication.
Very cute that Bette took Tina’s pillowcase.
Great chapter thanks for posting on Sunday as promised!!!! (if I remember correctly the last time one promised to post on a sunday and it took a month …|-)….;-> ) I know I can be a s**t.
Maybe the next chapter will be posted tomorrow… you have gotten very good with the cliff hangers & drama :-[
