    Bette — Plan B; pt. 49

    “Bette? You dont have to be her servant you know.”

     

    “Tina, really. She did most of the cooking, and like she said, she’s doing homework.” Homework or something. It’s tough to tell when she’s shut into her room with the door closed. Best to give her her privacy, thoughI hope.

     

    “Okay.” She wasn’t buying it for a moment.

     

    “Jess, can I talk to Bette, privately?”

     

    “Okay.”

     

    I’m detecting more than a little disappointment in that response.

     

    “But you’ll talk to me tomorrow?”

     

    How often do these two separate? My guess, not too often.

     

    “Of course.” Reliable, reassuring Tina. “Take care, sweetie, I love you.”

     

    “Loveyoutoomom. Bye.”

     

    Careful, Jess. That almost sounded sincere. We’d hate to have that happen.

     

    “Bette?”

     

    “Yeah.”

     

    “Did she hang up?”

     

    “I’m not sure,” I admitted.

     

    Just then I heard a click on the line, and then Jess ran out and stuck the phone back in the charger. In another instant, she disappeared back into her room.

     

    “Now she’s hung up.”

     

    Just to be on the safe side, I thought it best to move the call out to the front porch. I’d have gone by the pool, but Jess has a window that opens toward the back.

     

    “How’s it really going, Bette.”

     

    “Everything’s fine.”

     

    “Really?”

     

    Well, besides almost getting hauled off into jail. But we won’t discuss that part right now. Maybe someday, I hope, I’ll get the chance to laugh about it with Tina. “Really.”

     

    “And you guys cooked.”

     

    “Hunger is a powerful motivator.” Might as well be fully honest on this point. “For both of us.”

     

    Tina laughed at this. How wonderful it was to hear her laughter. She didn’t appear to be holding back for a change. Perhaps the distance gave her a sense of safety.

     

    “How are you doing? How’s the project?”

     

    She let out a deep breath. “It’s insane, which is why I’m out here to begin with. But we think we can get things smoothed over and back on track and on schedule.”

     

    “That’s good.”

     

    “Jess said something about you visiting condemned buildings today.”

     

    Well, I have been waiting for a time to discuss plans. What better time than now? I hope?

    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.
