From Afar
Chapter 19 – Good Conversations
The second game turned into a blow out that couldnt capture Bettes attention. Not wanting to go to her empty apartment just yet, Bette went outside and sat on Shanes back step. Glancing over to her old house and pool area, Bette couldnt get thoughts of Anna out of her head. What a perfect little girl. When Bette closed her eyes she could see Annas pretty little eyes and smell that mixture of baby powder and lotion that makes that unique baby scent. If anything the encounter today just reinforced Bettes drive to make life better for the two women living next door. As Bette silently reviews her plans in her head, she knew that tomorrow the AuPair Agency would be at Tinas to present the choices for AuPair. While Bette had each investigated, seeing how they were young girls there really wasnt much to say about each one other then the kind of family life they grew up with. The problem was that Bette really had narrowed the list of twenty or so names down to four possibilities. These girls all came from great family situations, did well in school and showed promise of going on to higher things after this adventure of going to the US for a year. Bette didnt want to make Tinas decision, she just wanted to give Tina the extra tools to help her as she arrived at her final choice of one girl to watch over Anna.
Bette was on to other thoughts about her different projects for Tina and Anna as Shane opens up the back door to grab a breather. She still really hadnt asked Bette about last night and didnt know if she should. Seeing Bette on the steps, Shane figures that Bette must have stuck around for a reason and decides to broach the subject.
Hey Bette youre still here. Mind if I sit down? Shane sits as Bette just nods. Beer in hand Shane asks Bette if she wants one. Bette declines and sits looking up at all the stars.
Do you know how many nights I sat just over there looking up at these stars trying to figure out what comic force there was that allowed me to be such an *****? Bette muses to Shane.

Good God…I can’t believe you’re leaving us until Saturday. It’s only Wednesday…what am I supposed to do now?!!! Love this story…
This was very nice. Are you saying we can’t get our From Afar fix for several days? *sigh* Fine. Please continue as soon as possible.
SATURDAY! You must be kidding! C’mon don’t you have a laptop? I love the story, please continue!
Shane = kid in candy store w/au pair interview. (I’m just saying…and I won’t say it’s nothing pervy this time, but it’s a different kind of pervy.)
Each chapter is so good and this is so loving… What can I say more ? Just wait the next and say : thank you.
What do you mean no story for a few days…just bring it with you. I’m sure someone will have a computer you can use! I love how Shane has become Bette confidant.
No Don’t go GIRL…Great story.we will miss you….
I just love your story.Please keep going.
Thank you for letting us feel Bette’s protective love – it’s really endearing and is very true to her. Visuals here were great. I could just see Bette looking over at the house and thinking about Tina and Anna.
This is one of my fave stories, I love the way it’s going, I just pray it doesn’t all backfire on Bette
Jwet,
Say it ain’t so.
Have a great time and come back with loads of new ideas of where to take this story next.
LOL at Bette’s warning for Shane. It is true that Shane would be after any sweet young thing that comes her way.
I so love the Shane/Bette friendship…under the obvious differences they are a lot alike and do well to confide in one another. I look forward to your next post!!
I so love this story too. I’ll try to be patient. Is it Saturday yet???
It’s going to be a long time until Saturday…been spoiled by the daily postings…watch Season 1 maybe? Season 2 is just too sad.
Hope Bette is not try to control things to much. Tina seems to be doing fine on her on. Just let Bette be happy with what Tina is giving her for now.
Oh, no! No story ’til Sat?!! This is a real bummer…oh well, I guess I’ll just look forward to Sat. :(

I know my day just started (it’s 430 in the morning here in Hawaii) but it’s been great so far now that I’ve finally had the opportunity to catch up on some of my favorite fanfictions, especially yours!! Bette, I know she’s controlling, but to me it’s her love shining through. I actually quite fond of her overprotectiveness of Tina and Anna. Bette’s cute in this chapter…I like the fact that she’s opening up to Shane. Thanks Jwet, you rock!! Update soon please=)
