All the Small Things–Chapter 9
Kit gushed with excitement. “Ooh, baby girl, you’re in love!”
“I think I am, Kit.” Bette said. “To hell with what might happen, you know? I’m just… I can’t keep it inside anymore. And it’s bound to come up someday. I can’t go on like this.”
Alice then hugged Bette tightly. “Finally! I never thought you’d say it.”
“So, dinner.” Dusty said, drumming her fingers on the table. “You were saying something about planning a very special dinner for a very special someone.”
Bette then detailed her plan about having to pose as a delivery woman bringing Tina’s favorite dish and her favorite drink. Dusty then allowed Bette to use her motorcycle as Helena called in Tina’s favorite restaurant to ask if they could lend Bette one of their delivery vehicles. Shane, Alice, Kit, Max, and Jenny offered to get flowers, but Helena explained that it would be too obvious for Bette. As they finalized the plans, the motorcycle pulled up. Kit looked at her watch. It was already quarter to seven. Bette waved her goodbyes as Kit promised to drive her car home. The rest of the gang looked on as Bette drove the delivery vehicle back to her house.
“Kit,” Alice said, nudging her slightly. “Can you tell me where Bette learned to drive a motorcycle? Or was she abducted by aliens and replaced with someone happier?”
Kit sniggered a little. One of their biggest shared secrets. “I taught her how.”
Alice looked at Kit disbelievingly. “No.”
“Yeah-uh.”
“Damn. Lucky Tina.”
Tina paced around the living room, wondering whether she should call Kit, Shane, Jenny, or Alice. Bette was never home later than six-thirty these days, after she sold the gallery and got promoted to dean. She might have been busier now that she was adjusting into her position as the dean of the School of Arts at CU. She then decided to wait for a few minutes before calling Bette or anyone else. Tina went over to the refrigerator and got herself a Pellegrino.
Tina found herself smiling at the note that was on the refrigerator. It was her and Bette’s favorite way of communicating. Looking back, it was probably what made them friends in the first place. Bette was always the first one out of the house, so she would leave a note detailing where she was going, what time she might be home in the evening, and where Tina’s breakfast would be (usually on the table, and always Clusters with fruit and Pellegrino, every single day), and the notes always ended with a ‘Good morning’ and a smiley face. During the days when Tina would come home early, she would write back a note and take a nap or read in her room until she heard Bette’s footsteps come nearer to her bedroom. They would thank each other for the notes and then head on to the dining room for dinner, which consisted of a recap of their day.
Now it was different. Bette no longer was a friend to her. And as she continued pacing in the living room, she wondered how Bette would take it once she admitted her feelings.
The doorbell rang. Tina stared at the door. It would never be Bette. Bette never rang the door. She just keyed it in and went in. She then went up to the door and opened it. Someone wearing a helmet and a uniform from her favorite restaurant was standing near her door.
“Tina Kennard?” The person asked, looking from a piece of paper. She then handed a paper bag with the restaurant’s logo over to Tina, who looked even more confused.
“That’s me.” Tina stared at the package, the scent of her favorite dish already weakening her resolve to have it sent back. “I didn’t call your restaurant. This has to be a mistake.”
“No, it isn’t.” The person said again. “Enjoy your meal.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not comfortable accepting this if I don’t know who sent it.”
