    Bette — Plan B; pt. 49

    Jess grabbed the phone on the third ring, sliding across the living room floor in stocking feet to grab the phone from its charger. I think the fact that we had such a large dinner slowed her a little, and kept her from answering the call more quickly. In a not-surprising move, she and the phone retreated back to her bedroom.

     

    We cooked, but I can’t say either of us did well at judging portions. Jess did do an amazing job at pulling things together though. As much as she says she doesn’t cook, I do believe she’s inherited some of that talent from Tina.

     

    “Ms. Porter,” Jess yelled out to me, “mom wants to make sure you’re still alone.”

     

    So I’m back to being Ms. Porter? I suppose I never truly left that spot. Maybe I just read too much into Jess’s short term cooperation. Maybe she was just very hungry.

     

    In any case, I picked up the extension in the kitchen. “Hello.”

     

    “Bette? How’s everything.”

     

    Is it possible that Jess has said something that I should know about? I’m going to guess no, and hope that I’m right. “Fine.”

     

    “What did you guys order for dinner?”

     

    Oh, Tina of little faith. “We cooked.”

     

    “Cooked?”

     

    “Yeah, mom,” Jess chimed in. “I did some amazing bruscetta, and then got Ms. Porter to help me make a pasta sauce.”

     

    There was a pause before I heard Tina’s skeptical voice. “Really?”

     

    “Just like she said.” Might as well vouch for the kid. After all, she is telling the truth. “Vegetables and everything.”

     

    “Vegetables. Really.”

     

    “Yeah, mom. It was great.”

     

    A touch enthusiastic, Jess. You don’t want to overplay.

     

    “And what does my kitchen look like?” Back to tentative on Tina’s end.

     

    Now’s where the fabrication is going to come into play. The kitchen looks, well, like two people who have little clue made a huge mess while preparing a relatively simple meal.

     

    “Don’t worry, mom, Ms. Porter promised to clean up while I complete my homework.”

     

    Scamp!

     

    “Jess?”

     

    “It’s true, Tina.” You are so going to owe me, Jess Kennard. “We made this deal.”

    1. I think I can smell some drama coming?? Hurricane who?? can’t wait to see where this is going P great as usual, and is this number 2 today I think you might have out done yourself, I hope you have some time off this weekend and spend a moment on yourself.

    2. That Jess sure is a scamp. Telling Tina about the ‘condemed’ buildings and then setting Bette up to clean up the kitchen – and the week is not even over yet! Tina’s trepidation that Bette had an ulterior motive seemed very real to me. They do need to talk, not being face to face for that sort of conversation only leads to an over active imagination when you can view body language and facial expressions.

      When you write, I get a very vivid picture of the characters…especially Jess. You write her character so wonderfully realistic it’s like sitting at the kitchen table watching it all unfold. Great job!

    3. Calm or the Storm….seems either way, Bette will be taken in by Jess! At least Bette does have the trump card named Tina!

      Tina has to remember to meet Bette somewhere near the middle….Bette is trying, I think….

      Please continue with the story….I’ll make sure you’ll be supplied with bon bons?!?

    4. what really Tina wants? that Bette stay at home while she works?? this is so not like Bette and i hope Tina knows that Bette is really trying to be there for her ans Jess but Tina is not the real problem Jess is and until she cant own her trust she has nothing, she is only a kid and this is Bette Porter..oh c´mom how hard it could be???…lol..amazing chapter..thanks :-)

    5. Loved the 3-way phone call. They almost seemed like a family. Thanks for giving them some calm, now it sounds like there is another storm coming. Bring it on.

    6. thanks for posting on a holiday weekend. love this dialogue. maybe jess can see bette not to much of a bad guy. yes tina has a right to be aprehensive but bette is still there trying, maybe she should cut her some slack. this was great, keep it going.
