    Author Notes:

    Been waiting for you

    Bette sat on Tina’s couch, Angelica on her lap, as they both waited for Tina to emerge from her room, and Andrea to show for duty. She glanced at the clock on the wall, then turned to Angelica. "See? See how long she takes to get ready? You take after your Mama T."

    Angelica giggled.

    Bette glanced around the living room, and noticed the stereo system. "What do you say to a little music?"

    Angelica looked at her, puzzled.

    Bette made a mental note to pay attention to Tina’s intonation when she asked Angelica questions, and hopefully get the same nodding answer Tina always seemed to get from their daughter. "T, we’re gonna turn on your stereo."

    "Go ahead," Tina called back.

    Bette stood up, and carried Angelica with her to the shelf that held the stereo. She studied the interface, found the power button and the one that opened the CD changer. She glanced at the titles, frowned, and glanced at the CD cases that lined the neighboring shelves.

    Rolling Stones. Led Zeppelin. David Bowie. Prince. Sex Pistols, The Clash. U2.

    Then the 80′s rock, which Bette had always disapproved of.

    Bette glanced over her shoulder in the direction of Tina’s room, and then turned to Angelica. "This is what she’s making you listen to?"

    Angelica, however, was riveted to the CD cover of The Who’s Tommy.

    Bette shook her head, chose a Fleetwood Mac CD, picked up a CD folder from the shelf, and turned back for the couch as Rumours started its playlist. Seated, she turned to Angelica. "You prefer the music at Mama B’s house, right?"

    Angelica looked at her with a questioning expression.

    "You know, soul, R&B — the real R&B, mind you, back when it was a legitimate Grammy category." Bette pointed out. "Classical. Mozart, Beethoven, Handel?"

    Angelica giggled, which Bette took as a encouragement.

    "You know, your mom listened to a lot of Mozart when you were inside her. Didn’t any of that carry over?"

    Bette unzipped the folder, and examined the selection. Bette continued to go through the book. "Look at what she’s got you listening to. Genesis. Fleetwood Mac. Pat Benatar."

    Angelica shook her head.

    "That’s right, no, you should be listening to Aretha, to Nina Simone, Chet Baker. That’s real music."

    3. Wow Angelica has taste if she was entranced by The Who’s “Tommy,” even if she was only looking at the CD case. I was a music major, but I think I’d probably have more fun listening to Tina’s playlist. Oh, been waiting for you too because I’ve been missing this story. :)

    4. You just are spot on w/dialogue. You’re funny as hell. A bit sarcastic and snarky which is fine. I love this story. Could you post every day? Pretty please.

    10. Bette and Tina have such diverse music tastes, great choices. Angelica this little girl is just sweet. Tiff your story – always brings a smile to my face. Thank you.

    16. Absolutely nothing wrong with Bowie. He was a seminal(?) influence in my youth and went through some wide-ranging ch-ch-ch-changes over his career. It may be my prejudice as an American, but I’ve come to love his colleague, Iggy Pop even more. Not an American, are you, TD? We would have styled Peggy a great-aunt. So where are you from? And when do we get to the horizontal part?

    19. Love the way this chapter starts out exposing their differences and finishes with their common interest. :) While this chapter appears to be about musical tastes, it’s really about the things that bind couples together. Yes, it’s nice when you share musical tastes but when you don’t then you can both learn something – diversity it good. After all, the life of a couple is made up of a thousand little things and so long as you agree on the major life issues, like putting your family first, then the rest is really unimportant. Wonderful chapter… about music. ;)

    22. Andrea is a hoot. Loved the horizontal comment. Angelica has her mamma’s wraped around her fingers and does not even know it. I get the impression that Helena is not to keen with the whole Bette and Tina togetherness. Is she a tad jealous? I am so loving this story.
