Brief Encounter Chapter 31
Shane: Well, exhausting as it is, it turns out pretty damn well.
Bette: Hmm, partly true. But there are times I wish I could just sit back and let the whole thing play out and settle themselves.
Shane: You know you can.
Bette: No I can’t. You know that.
Shane: I also know that you can always try?
Yoda! That’s what Alice calls her and she’s right. I smiled.
Shane: What are you smiling about?
Bette: You. I’m imagining you in a Jedi outfit and GREEN and a foot tall.
Shane: Oh shut up!
Bette: I most definitely will. I should get ready for the airport. You know Shane; I think I’m going to take you up on that offer. I’ll cancel the limo.
Shane: Alright sure, even better.
The ride to the airport took forever. I cannot wait to get on the plane and be in New York. Not only cos I got my heart broken by Tina again, also cos I can’t have the delay at the gallery. In fact I can’t afford any delays.
Shane: Bette, don’t you think we should tell Tina, or at least Alice about you flying back?
Bette: Should I? I don’t think so. I mean everyone’s flying out next week right? Wait, are you saying Tina or Alice isn’t going to come?
Shane: No no no I wasn’t saying that. I was just saying, well you know how Alice is. It’s not that I’m scared of her or anything but I just couldn’t stand her nagging.
I laughed at this. Yes that is the classic Alice. Once a journalist always a journalist.
Bette: Yeah alright. We can tell Alice. But tell her not to come to the airport. I mean I don’t want to you know…
Shane: It won’t be a problem Bette I’m sure. We’ll just let her know so she won’t act so crazy when she finds out. I mean its ok for you cos you’ll be in New York by then. I’m the victim here.
I laughed again. These two just can’t keep it quiet.
Shane: Bette.
Shane just stared at me, with her eyebrows raised.
Bette: Huh? What?
Shane: Call Alice to let her know?
Bette: I thought YOU were going to call her!

they are totally behaving like two stubborn kids who won’t admit their feelings and won’t explain anything…i’m afraid Tina will refuse to go to NY because of Mel and for Bette it would be another confirmation that Tina doesn’t want her…drama, drama
I agree with Bettyvhall and betteandtinaforever, these two need to grow up. and as I said before, i have to go back and reread the whole mel thing, but tina is right, Bette needs to clean that up…as usual, I take Tina’s side. Thanks for posting…yeah….I still have another chapter to go before i catch up.
THEY NEED TO TALK AND WORK THING OUT!
I get so upset with those two. It like haveing two spoiled,stubborn children. Bette should have had the guts to speak to Tina and tell her that she was leaving. Now Tina might not go to NY.Yes been commenting since the beginning,sometime couldn’t comment but could read. Trying to make time again to read all and comment to all. Sometimes here lately didnt like the chapter but would read and not comment. Just not fair to the writer.If you can only say I read it thanks.. Off the bandwagon. thanks for posting.
hmmm…i’m going to have to go backwards obviously, like it, thx;pps
I finally caught up with the whole story. I too am very frustrated with these 2. Bette needs to just talk, and Tina should just ask Bette outright. Love the story though.
