Tina intercedes, “Dr. Bassey I apologize, perhaps I chose to confront Bette at a bad time. I should have taken her aside instead of get into it as she was starting rounds. But I don’t appreciate being treated like somehow the psyche team’s almost irrelevant.”
Bette rebounds, “I didn’t say that.”
“Oh come on Bette…”
Bassey grabs her head, “Enough. Look it…I’m very displeased with both of you. I don’t know what this bickering is about, but it’s got no place here. Dr. Kennard, I’ll be discussing this with Dr. Schmidt, but for now, would you excuse us?”
“Yes doctor.” Tina looks at Bassey and then at Bette and leaves. Bassey is standing behind her desk and at this point she walks around and brings herself in front of Bette but just off to the side. “I think it’s time we continued our conversation from yesterday.”
“Ok, I…”
“Don’t interrupt.” Bette looks at Dr. Bassey and then looks forward. Dr. Bassey continues, “I don’t understand what you two think you were doing in there, but it’s unacceptable. I expect professional discourse not ‘tit for tat’, especially not in front of the residents and particularly not in front of the patient. What if the poor girl had woken up at that moment? Honestly Bette. Anyway, back to what I wanted to talk about yesterday…do you want to explain to me what the hec you think you’re doing with Tina’s resident?”
Bette turns and stares at Bassey, “What do you mean?”
“Bette, don’t play me the fool, I’m really in no mood.”
Bette wonders how Bassey could know…Bette’s eyebrows come together, “Dr. Bassey I really don’t think there’s anything to discuss and even if there was some issue I…well I think it’s private and not really anyone else’s concern…”
Bassey looks like she wants to throttle somebody and leans in towards Bette. Her voice is steady but not so nice… “Do you REALLY want to go there with me?” Dr. Bassey is almost insulted that Bette wouldn’t be open with her, especially since she remembers helping to pick up the pieces when Bette fell apart long ago.
Bette’s getting upset, “Look I’m sorry but first of all I don’t know why you’re so angry and I don’t know what you’re talking about and I don’t know why what I do on my private time is any of your or anyone else’s business…” Bette looks upset but she’s adamant… “What have I done wrong exactly? I really want to know…”
Bassey steps back a bit and leans on her desk. “Bette, it’s bad enough you’ve been making the ‘rounds’ as they say, but while generally speaking any doctor bedding half the professional female staff is neither my business nor do I give a rats ass, I do care that my senior resident is getting around a little too much, amassing an interesting reputation with every conquest, and now has decided to court a first year resident, which while stupid in and of itself, is not quite as colossally stupid as having an affair with a first-year resident who happens to be under Dr. Kennard’s direct supervision…and I sure as hec hope that you have some sort of explanation and that somehow Tina and you have come to an understanding about this…though from what I’ve seen she’s just a little sensitive these days where you’re concerned, if judging by this morning is any indication.”
Bette isn’t sure what to do or say. She’s surprised that Bassey knew about Amertadi, but she was conflicted about her interference. But one thing got her attention even more and she focuses on one thing Bassey said…and answers her… “She doesn’t know.”
“What?”
“She doesn’t know…Tina doesn’t know…”
Bassey glares at Bette and then shakes her head and starts chuckling as she walks over to the sofa in her office. She’s mumbling and laughing and sits as she seems to talk to herself. She looks at Bette who is waiting for the axe to fall. “Oh it’s ok…it’s not ME you have to worry about…you just wait until Schmidt gets wind of this…then I’ll just sit back and watch the proverbial shit hit the fan…and you along with it!

Boring B&T is better than no B&T, my friend. ;)
Well that was an interesting blowout. LOL I keep waiting for Bailey (or is it Bassey? O.o) to look at Bette and say, “Are ya dumb?”
Thanks Lamentamini! I can’t believe I had been inserting Bailey for Bassey! Someone had commented about it and it just stuck! So…we’re back to Bassey…:)
So tina is still having feelings for Bette again, I wonder what Bette is going to do w/that information…Tks T
i love this and i hope yu’l finish it but also remember “lost and found” yu have to cont. with it ok??
Loved the update, better & better…and its your longest one yet. You seem to be on a role and I love it…
E gads! Bette’s in hot water. I’m still hoping she & Tina will get back together.
OOO, can’t wait for the shit to hit the fan. Can you perhaps gives a glimpse of what happened when Bette and Schmidt almost came to blows? That sounds like it was pretty intense! Post soon! P.S-Don’t worry about the long post because I am sure we all love them! The longer the better, trust me!
Wow. This is all so intricate. I keep hunting for clues that Jane Doe has some special part in all of this. Great chapter. Thanks.
Dang that was good!!! Thanks!
Hey Merlin, What’s with the apology for the long post?? That’s just a positive for me… ten pages and I’m still wanting more. Seems the next chapter may provide Bette the poo sandwich she’s due, though Emma and Bassey gave her a nice appetizer. Sorry to hear about the hair… you didn’t show him a picture of Shane, did you?? Love the post.
Greetings and salutions to you, Merlin, Thank you so much for another fine chapter. I love the mix of characters in this tall tale. Good to see Bette being honest with Emma but then the fight with Tina showed that there was still a spark there. I am a diehard TIBetter and hope that these gals can rekindle their relationship here. Bette is simply playing the field until she realizes that she wants Tina and to get there relationship another try. I think that Emma’s desire to love Bette might just push her away. Good to see Bassey giving the gals a proper telling off for their ill-advised discussion. It did seem petty. Can’t wait to see wher you will lead me to but please but rest assured that I am in it for the long haul. Thank you so much for sharing this splendid story with me. Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is not blind nor deaf, Hospitals are a field of gossip. Bette should know better to date some that Tina is her boss. Put the shoe on the other foot,how would bette feel???? thanks for posting
I get the feeling that there is way more to Tina’s feelings towards Bette than Bette has towards Tina. I can’t wait to read what happens to Bette when she realizes that Tina does suspect and what the head of the department will do when she gets wind of this. I agree with Lamentamini, a boring B&T is better than no B&T. Besides I love boring, because boring can lead to a lot of free play (between B&T).
Hey Merlin,I just caught up on the last 2 chapters and wow. Something tells me that Ms Jane Doe will hold the key to getting our girls together.How can bette be so stupid and think that tina doesn’t know and that it wouldn’t bother her????????????? Tina knows that she is still in love with bette and bette knows that she is still in love with tina, otherwise she wouldn’t be sleeping with most of the female staff!!!!I look forward to the next chapter.
Does the hospital have a written policy about staff fraternizing? If not I still think Bassey and Schmidt should butt out unless they want to intervene as friends and mentors rather than bosses. Maybe Bette cruising the hospital hallways isn’t the most politic thing for her to do, but at the same time her playmates would have known what they were getting involved with. Tina needs to figure out what she realy feels. I can understand her confiding in Shane and I can understand Shane supporting her, but I was surprised to react in such an authoritarian manner.
Merl, Bette cannot be that dumb and blind. Tina doesn’t know (lol). I’m with Bassey on this one, just sit back and watch the sh*t hit the fan. This BAT triangle is so entertaining, although I feel sorry that poor Amertadi is way over her head with Bette. Either I’m not fully awake, or it’s getting a little confusing with all these BB&MM names(Bassey, Betty, Madeleine, Melinda). Thanks for the update.
He hee. Loved this. Was fun! So then lets see Bette hit the fan ;-)
