From Afar
Satisfied that Anna is safe and sound, Bette turns around
and heads out of her room towards the kitchen to make herself a light dinner.
Tina was back on the highway, traffic was light as she
thought about calling Bette. The length
of her day was beginning to get to her as the monotony of the highway was
lulling her into a sleepy state. Looking
down at her phone again she decided she was going to pull off to retrieve
it. Maneuvering over into the right hand
lane, Tina exits the next exit and pulls into one of those commuter park-n-ride
lots. Putting her car in park she
reaches down and grabs her phone.
Quickly dialing home Tina waits for the phone to start ringing.
Hearing the phone ring, Bette ran to pick it up before it
had the chance to wake Anna. “Hello”
Bette said breathlessly.
“Now that’s a voice worth driving miles to see.” Tina greets
Bette with.
“Tina, I was getting worried. Thanks for calling. Where are you?” Bette says all at once.
“Sorry, I had a little phone problems, namely I dropped it
and didn’t want to take the time to pull over and get it. I just wanted to get out of
How was your day?” Tina asked feeling rejuvenated already just talking
to Bette.
“Eventful, I’ll tell you all about it when you get
home. Will that be soon?” Bette says
happy that Tina is on the line.
“Actually I’m still a little ways away. I should be home in about two hours or
so. I just wanted to touch base and wake
up a little. It’s been a long day. A good day, but long.” Tina responds knowing
that Bette wasn’t going to be happy but not wanting to deceive her in any way.
Trying to control her frustration at Tina once again, Bette
stifles a sigh. “Ok than I’ll tell you
now. I had a so-so day. I met with Jack, that went well and we got it
all going.” Bette said happily.
“Really great that’s good new. Did Jack have anything else to say?” Tina
asks.
“Yeah but we can go over all of that when you get home.”
Bette says and then quickly moves on.
“The interviews were interesting but I really didn’t have anyone bowl me
over.
some great insight but over all I think I’m going to keep looking.” Bette
explains to Tina.

Jwet youre so mean to me.. it was necessary all that torture with Tina coming home?? i thought she would lose the car control any minute..lol..gezz..Bette with Anna was just cute..ok i have to prepare myself to next chapter????humm..what your evil mind is ploting???..lol..great..tender and scary chapter post soon thanks :o)
We all have those days but still the real focus is connection with those we love.. thank you, the story was a good reminder. And you know I adore Bette and Anna – so sweet.
Okay, i feel the drama coming on. For a minute there I though Tina was going to get into an accident! Great chapter as always.
Woo, I am so glad that Tina got home safe and sound. Bette is so loving and cute with Anna, please post again soon.
JWet,
And still the chocolate merry-go-round continues. Why is it something so bad tastes soo good?
So now back to this marvellous melodrama.
The simplicity of these last three chapters covering a single day demonstrates your talent and skills as a writer. You entrance your audience by making the mundane and uneventful, exciting and thrilling. I was thinking that there may be more to this day than previously foretold. Was Tina going to have a life-threatening accident? But not you had her drop her cell phone and portray the reality of her day along with this basic frustration.
It was so welcoming to have Bette at home and the mother hen with her concerns for Tina while Tina followed her demanding career and did the right thing for the foundation.
Questions include:
Why is it you plan to finish early and then someone makes it impossible to so? Why does someone rapping on your car window always scare the be-Jesus out of you? How come your phone is always just out of your range? Will Bette get Tina a Bluetooth “hands free” kit for her cell phone? Was Angelica teething or just missing her Mom? How wet did Bette did get herself while bathing the baby? Does Bette wear a hair net, curlers and an apron when she it the mother hen? How do you just sense when your lover has returned?
Enjoy your weekend as I hope it is wicked or wonderful or both.
Thank you as always.
Your Loyal Fan.
Tina is safe *a sigh of relief* This chapter was full of tension. You did a really great job with it. thanks
Whew!!! *makes a swipe across brow* If you were tryng to give me an anxiety attack you were successful! Shit! That was so ominous and “doomsy” I was uncomfortable as hell! Thanks jwet for that wonderful experience! lol! Now I’ll go walk on broken glass or shove toothpicks under my nails to mix up the fun!
Lovely chapter JWET..THANK YOU..
i get giddy when i see youve posted. i know that i will be richly rewarded.
“the warmth of her home hits her as she opens the door bringing a smile to tinas face. being home with her family is worth every minute of her long day.” know that feeling well. its the little things.
this chappy had it all. care, concern, love and tension.
take care this weekend and thanks.
Thank god Tina is ok you had us thinking all the way through the story that something was going to happen, I breathed a sigh of relief when she got home
It’s nice to see Tina gaining confidence in herself in her new position with the foudation. She is similar to Bette in that she too, loves her work.
Tina is a caretaker, and that came through again in her willingness to accommodate one of the meeting participants.
Kids can be pretty astute, I think that Anna’s routine was skewed when she was not able to see Tina the entire day.
I thought it was interesting that not only was Tina’s phone just out of reach, but so was Bette…at least for the day.
It seems that Bette and Tina need the physical proximity to each other for their communication to be the most effective.
Glad Tina got home safely and that the loooooooooong day has come to and end.
Bette is going to have a hard time finding a new assig. Helene is so full of her self. Payback is hell. Was worry about Tina driving home by her self. Just glad she got home. thanks
I’m relieved, just like Tina, that she is home. Another nice chapter. I still have that ominous feeling though…
geez..i kept thinking something was going to happen to Tina. It was a great chapter and can’t wait for the next.
As always such a wonderful story, looking forward to your next chapter.

okay I THANK U 4 NOT LETTING ANYTHING HAPPEN TO TINA!!!!!!!! U really had me there. POST SOON!!!!!!!!
I was holding my breath several times, once when “someone knock on her door”; again when she “took her legs off the brakes” reaching for the phone; again when she pulled over to call Bette and last when she pick up her hamburger and eating while driving! So, I’m so thankful that I can finally exhale when she walked into her home. aaaahhhhhh.
Wonderful warm feeling in my heart now. Thanks so much.
Would it be begging if I’m hoping for another chapter this week/weekend?????
