Air Supply, Chapter 11
(Bette is still standing in her own little no man’s land as she continues to gaze at the same subject, sitting on the bench. She whispers… “what’s goin on? What the fuck is going on?” She’s not sure whom she’s asking…the blonde or herself…maybe both. Her beeper vibrates and she quietly walks off. Bette is tensing up as she enters the hospital and heads for the psychiatry department. She’s rarely ever paged to this area, and she remembers the number well, so she knows why she’s here. She knocks on an office door.)
“Come in!” (hollers Dr. Schmidt. Bette enters.)
“Dr. Porter, have a seat.” (Bette sits. She feels tired, very tired, numb, and…tired. Dr. Schmidt looks at her as Bette glances at her desk. Madeleine expected somehow to be angrier, somehow she expected that she would feel more agitation, but it wasn’t quite there…well…not entirely. She stands up and moves out from behind her desk as Bette sits. She walks over to the very comfortable old couch and takes a seat near the armrest. Bette isn’t sure where Dr. Schmidt has gone but assumes she’s getting something or whatever, so she doesn’t turn to look behind her and just waits for Dr. Schmidt to return. Madeleine shakes her head, realizing Bette is probably too afraid to ask any questions at this point.) “Yoooo hooo!” (Bette hears the voice and her eyebrows come together as she turns to look behind her. Dr. Schmidt waves.) “Come…sit here with me Dr. Porter.” (Bette sort of just looks at her.) “Well come on now, I’m not asking you ‘cause I’m lonely, it’s kinda an order!” (Madeleine shakes her head a bit as Bette stands, while a little uncertain of Dr. Schmidt’s disposition, and she heads over and sits down a few feet away.)
(Madeleine remains relatively calm and just intensifies her voice at first instead of raising it…) “I’ve been thinking to myself, Dr. Porter, what would Bassey…Dr. Bassey say? So…Porter, what the fuck were you thinking?!!! Geeezus Bette.”
(Bette almost whispers.) “That’s not quite what she said.”
“What?”
“Bassey…that’s not what she’d say…I know what she’d say because she said it to me already….”
“Oh. And what brilliant statement was that?”
“She laughed and basically implied I was in huge trouble once you found out. I actually was surprised she didn’t tear a strip off of me herself.”

Again, another great update….pls keep them coming!!
Your stories always fascinate me: such idiosyncratic characters with wonderfully exotic names! Thanks for coming back to this one. Lin
Maybe a break is what Bette does need. Maybe Tina needs a break also. I get the feeling that Bette has a lot of unsettled emotions towards Tina. Tina seems to be waiting on Bette and only reached out recently when it came to light about her resident’s co-habitation with Bette.
I think both the young doctors needs a break. Let Tina take the baby on a small trip.and Bette goes to the same place. thanks
please, someone do something with Bette and Tina so they’ll stop playing games and get back together already LOL
I think Bette is almost ready to break, I hope someone is there to catch the pieces. Brilliant update!
Cmon Merlin, your killing me!!!
