A Walk on the Wild Side – Chapter 25
Dana stopped mid chew and looked at Bette in amazement, before becoming distracted by the coughing and choking to her right.
Alice spluttered loudly, choking on her food. “WHAT!” she exclaimed, looking at her half eaten pancake with mistrust. “No way, did you cook this!” She said looking at Bette accusingly
“How do you know Al?” Bette asked looking at Alice and shrugging her shoulders
“Well for a start off, we didn’t smell smoke, as we walked through the door, and wellIt..” She looked back at the food on her plate “Because it tastes good that’s why!”
Bette leaned forward, her fork in her hand, and reached toward Alice’s plate. “Well if you don’t want it Al, then I would be happy to finish it for you” Bette said playfully, digging her fork into Alice’s Pancake.
“Hey! Don’t even think about it” Alice exclaimed pulling her plate away from Bette’s grasp.
Shane watched her friends interaction a thoughtful expression on her face. Bette had felt different from the second they had walked through the door, and Shane had picked up on it immediately. Her face, so often carrying the stress she experienced on a daily basis was relaxed, her eyes twinkling with fun. Shane had put it down to the two weeks break she had enjoyed, but now she wasn’t so sure. Shane couldn’t ever remember ever seeing Bette so light and carefree, and now she was cooking.
Since when did she cook? Shane wondered, trying to remember a time when Bette had made such an effort. Despite their teasing, they all knew that the problem wasn’t the fact that Bette couldn’t cook, It was the fact that she didn’t want to. Why waste time in the kitchen, when there is a menu by the phone? She would say to her friends. Shane looked at Bette again, more closely this time.
Bette felt Shane’s stare, and turned to face her. “What?” she demanded. “Don’t tell me you are going to start on me too?” Bette questioned, her eyes shining brightly with mirth.
“Of course not” Shane said, lifting her coffee cup to her mouth and taking a long satisfying sip. “I was just wondering who she is?” She said looking into her cup, talking to no-one in particular
Bette looked down at her plate bashfully, a soft blush colouring her cheeks.
“What?” Alice asked confused “who, who is?” She looked at Shane her eyebrow raised quizzically.
“Bette?” Shane asked.
“Her name is Tina” Bette replied looking at Shane, her face lighting up at the mere mention of her name.
“Who’s Tina?” Dana asked looking backward and forward between the two brunettes. “Could someone please tell me what’s going on?” She pleaded
Bette looked around the table at each of her friends, and wringing her hands together nervously took a deep breath. “There’s something I want to tell you.”
Before Bette could start her explanation she was interrupted by the sound of her phone ringing inside the house. Excusing herself she went inside and picked up the handset
___________________________________________________________________
Tina put on the soft bath robe hanging on the back of the door, and gently rubbed her wet hair with a towel. She ran her comb through her hair, deliberately taking her time, trying to control her urge to run into the bedroom, and dial the phone number on the business card she held in her hand earlier.
Eventually she found herself sat back on the bed, phone in hand, and started dialling.

Interesting that Bette woukd have that dream when its the very thing that happened to Tina. Without having to go back and research thru chapters, didnt they already talk about this? Tina discribing the scars?

Wait a sec, is it Tina on the phone or will she be met with a busy signal? Or am I just overanalyzing this as usual? lol Great chapter, tbsaver! I’m so glad that Shane picked up on Bette’s happiness. Intuitive that one.
Wonderful chapter as usually just too short and want MORE!!!
Hmh….more chapters equals forgiveness OK…maybe 5 chapters this week.. what do you think? You can still sleep right? But actually I think I’m the one that needs forgiveness for my email challenges!!!!
GREEEEEAAAT!
I want everything that the gang has,plus what Tina has Guess You could send it by Prcel Post . Yes I want Bette. loved this thanks
Glad you’re back. For a few days there, I thought that perhaps you had been snatched up by one of the animals at the watering hole!
Very interesting dream that Bette was having. Was Bette her physical self, or one of Tina’s beloved lionesses? Cryptic indeed.
Tina’s nervous energy leapt off of the page. The picking up and putting down of the phone had me laughing out loud. I think I’m going to take a nice lavender bath tonight, thank you very much!
The banter back and forth between the gang was great. Dana, clueless as always…Alice, hyperactive as usual…and Shane, ever the observant one.
Oh yeah, and I think I’m going to have pancakes for dinner too.

I have spent my day catching up on all of your beautiful chapters. Your descriptions of Africa are breathtaking and so are your chronicles of the love bursting between Tina and Bette.

I do hope that it takes Tina less than a month to get to LA. Forget Bette, I don’t know if I can wait that long even if it is fanfic time.

Shane is very observant. I’m looking forward to Tina arriving in LA (maybe she has painted the elephant scene)
