Air Supply, Chapter 10
“I’m sure that’s none of my business…”
“I’m not talking about HER, Tina…” (Tina stares at Madeleine as the senior doctor’s voice reverberates in its intensity. There’s a knock at the door…)
“Come in…it’s open…” (Bette opens the door and enters but notices she’s interrupting…)
“Sorry Dr. Schmidt…Tina…I didn’t mean to interrupt…”
“Oh no…not at all…in fact, you’ve got great timing Dr. Porter.”
(Bette looks at her…) “Really? How’s that?” (Bette approaches behind Tina and then stands next to her, facing Dr. Schmidt.)
(Tina, having trained under Dr. Schmidt for so many years, is seeing where this is going. She’s angry…) “Don’t!”
(Dr. Schmidt’s eyes dart back…) “Don’t what Tina? I don’t understand…” (Bette is feeling uncomfortable, like she’s entered unfamiliar territory…)
“You know exactly what I’m talking about…”
“Ohhhh…and here I thought I was incredibly confused…go figure!” (Her tone changes from sarcasm to almost sounding like Bassey…) “Sit down Dr. Kennard, you too Dr. Porter…” (Bette sits almost immediately in one of the two chairs. Tina remains standing…) “Tina?”
“What are you doing?!”
“I’m basically ordering you to sit down…”
“Madeline please…”
“I’m not going to administer electroshock therapy doctor…so sit!”
“Dr. Schmidt I really take issue…”
“And I don’t give a rats ass, Dr. Kennard!” (Bette looks scared…she’s seen Dr. Schmidt like this only rarely…the last time was when Bette and Tina had broken up…those many years ago when Bassey thought Madeleine was going to pummel Bette for hurting her finest resident. Bette interrupts, softly…)
“T? It’s ok…why don’t you just sit?”
(Tina turns to Bette…) “YOU’RE one to talk!”
“What?”
“You heard me!”
“Am I missing something?”
“NO, I think you’ve been hitting your mark…every mark…nailing anything that moves…not missing a damn thing Bette…”
(Bette’s mouth is slightly ajar as her eyes dart back and forth at Tina’s, not quite sure what to think. Madeleine sits back…watching carefully. Bette’s confused…)
“Tina, what’s going on and what you do you mean? Nailing everything that…” (She’s starting to understand the reference…) “T, what’s going on??!! I don’t understand…I just saw you a little while ago and you were so gentle and supportive and…”

damn, those two women just too stubborn to admit the real truth
Wow! That was a great chapter!!!
Great, Great chapter. Wow
These two always have so much emotion between them b/c their love is so intense.
Mother McCree! The shit’s hitting the fan and the fan is on oscillate! Where’s my raincoat? Oops, shit, gotta go. I’m being paged to Bassey’s boardroom.
…and you’re complaining about Gumby’s cliffhangers!! Teases, the lot of you!
Jeepers, can those two ever stop hurting each other, and publicly too. PPS
Uh oh! Soooo bad, but soooo good. Hey Merlin so glad to see you posting your first one of 2008!!! A doozy at that. It’s obvious the feelings between this sensational couple runs very deep. If only they would just peel away all that superficial layers of bullsh*t and speak from the heart. They just might find that they both have been desiring the very same thing. Great stuff Merl, but….why the damn cliffhanger? LMAOO!!!! I know why. More soon.
Let’s throw some missiles at one another and see how much we can hurt each other. WOW! I wish that they could reach for each other instead of slapping each other. Brilliant writing!
I am so with lucybelly on this!!!! But still a Great Chapter!!!!! Thanks PPS
In my little TiBette world, Tina is the only one for Bette. Hope she sees that in your story, which is great by the way. So glad to see an update..+
Ouch…
Oh, dear. Things are getting messier by the second, cos they’re covering up what they obviously still feel for each other… they need to have an honest talk, maybe without the meddling of well-meaning mentors. Nice post, please continue soon TM. Cheers
YEAH MERLIN’S BACK!but do have to leave a cliffhanger? great update.. love this story;)
Damn……such drama! Please fix Tina’s broken heart. PPS!!
Hey Merlin: you are so on a roll with this one! I love your dialogue: very real, very human. Thanks for this story. Happy New Year!! Lin
Yikes. No matter what the universe, these two have lots and lots of angst. Am I getting it right? Bette cheated on Tina? They must both be very good doctors for their seniors to put up with such antics. Can’t wait to see what comes next.
Please dont say anything else about any one cliffhangers. you are bad to
Welcome back Merlin, you had me waiting for ages on this and now you leave me with this cliffhanger – thanks. I’ll email you tomorrow
Dang it, maybe you should lock Bette and Tina in that so honored boardroom to knock some sense into their heads.
