This makes Tina smile as she goes on to explain her fears of
her mouth opened “You know I have known some bizarre people but she definitely
takes the prize. Do you think you will
need a restraining order?” Jackie asks.
“You know as odd as this sounds I think she is more after
Bette. Right now I’m just a tool to use
against her. I don’t know maybe that was
always the case. At this moment I don’t
really care, I just want to keep her away from my family.” Tina says with an
intensity that convinces Jackie that she will stop at nothing to keep her
family safe.
“Well I know some of these people who have been affected by
these stunts. It wouldn’t surprise me to
find out that there is a lot more to the stories than what appears in the
press. Why don’t you let me make a few
calls.” Jackie says as now she is also committed to this project.
***
Bette finished inspecting Tina’s car as the car guy had just
finished detailing it and had left it all shiny and looking like new. As Bette turned to pay the guy she was happy
that at least something had gone right today.
After her talk with Kit this morning, Bette felt particularly vulnerable
as if there was nothing she could pull off.
This put Bette in a foul mood the likes of which had not been seen
around the CAC in quite a while. The F
bomb became the favorite expression of choice for the day. Going back inside the CAC Bette walked past
James’ desk giving him the wave which was his summons to come to her office.
Once behind her desk Bette motioned for James to take a seat
as she wanted to plow through the remainder of the work presented there. The thought of leaving the office at a decent
time was still foremost on her mind Bette began making a dent in the pile on
her desk.
When the reality of what Kit knew and how she found out from
Bette, it took her aback. For some
reason instead of rejoicing in the knowledge that she had done something good
and others were about to find out, Bette’s mind had taken the other road of
thought. She became withdrawn,
disconcerted and thrown off balance. It
was as if this secret of hers had been a float that she had rested upon in the
stormy waters that had been her life for the last two years. Bette realizes now that she had drawn
strength from this good thing she had done that no one really knew about. Bette feared making it public, that somehow
with everyone knowing it would get tarnished somehow. All she knew for sure was that right now her
float had a leak and with that leak being
she just knew that soon that hole would grow to a gaping gash.
Deflated and feeling diluted somehow Bette buried herself in
her work today but the more she struggled the more she was actually creating
more work with her difficult attitude.
This all caused the day to drag by.
As James sat down he was wise enough to remain silent until spoken too
and then only say what was required.
After many frustrating words spoken under her breath Bette
finally admitted to herself that she would be better off stopping for today and
picking up everything tomorrow. Looking
at the clock it was after 5PM already and nothing she touched today was going
well. Bette finally had to admit it had
beaten her as she was going to throw in the towel and start fresh
tomorrow. “Ok” Bette stated.
“What was that?” James asked
half afraid of the answer.
“Uncle!” Bette responded in a fuller voice. Looking up at James she gives him the high
sign “I surrender today. I just seem to
be making everything worse. I think I am
just going to quit and come back fresh tomorrow.” Bette says as he smiles for
the first time that day.
“I second that.” James says quickly and then realizes that
maybe he shouldn’t have. The look on
James’ face alone makes Bette laugh the first good laugh she has had since
arriving at the CAC this morning.
“On that note I think I’m out of here. Let’s put this all away and start fresh
tomorrow.” Bette says as she grabs the first stack and places it on top of her
in box and the others she just pulls her drawer open and deposits them out of
sight. With that she got up and waved
goodbye to James and went home.
With her hand on the door ***** of her front door, Bette took
a deep breath in an effort to wash her day away. Taking that moment, Bette consciously let go
of her day. She didn’t want to walk into
the house wearing it. There had been so
many days like today when she had come home to this very door and didn’t take
the time to breathe before she walked through.
The thought of what was just beyond that door put the smile on Bette’s
face as she went ahead and turned the *****.
She was home.

WATCH OOU HELENA,HER COMES TINA TO PROTECTOR HER FAMILY….FABULOUS JOB ON THE CHAPTER..POST WHEN YOU CAN..BUSY LADY…..THANKS
Ah, poor Bette, least she’s recognising when things are getting her down, instead of keep plugging on regardless…. thats the new super sensitive side coming out more and more! Love it!
So glad Tina is doing the homework before she wades in on Helena – leave no stone unturned, then the bitch won’t be able to fight back!
I hope Helena is in New York during the end of August coz I’ll be ready to step on her head!
what can I say? I enjoy how you develop a story, and I can’t wait to see what you have in mind for Helena. I actually didn’t mind her until her pregnancy fetish became so obvious, but the way you’ve painted her character makes me very unsympathetic to her. Look forward to more as usual.
I like this post very much and esp Bette’s relaxation activities at the door. till the next one J.
I love this story, JWet but when it ends I will follow you to the next.
This is soooo good! Please post again soon!!!
Weel, it looks as though Tina has a plan….those slow to burn people can do the most damage….plus she has to be there so Bette won’t blow!
great chapter
the last two paragraphs were a wonderful summary of the changed Bette – hope she shares her feelings of the day with Tina.
Sweet! Bette is making a huge effort here. And as for Tina, I like the way she works.
Thanks for the update.
It’s very nice to you to ask about my story. I’m almost finished with a chapter and hope to post it soon. I marvel at how fast you write and how well. Only in my dreams!
How endearing is it that Tina moved her appointment so that she wouldn’t be away from home overnight? So sweet. The depth of their reconnection is growing.
Tina knows she has evidence. She knows that she could go after Helena. But, she was smart enough to seek counsel from a friend, if for no other reason to make sure two pairs of eyes saw the same thing. Corroboration is a great ally. I’m not sure Helena shouldn’t be just as afraid of Jackie as Tina or Bette. Jackie’s circle is expansive and she seems exceptionally loyal to those that she admires. I imagine some of those people are on that spreadsheet.
Now, will Tina really do something with all of that once Jackie has made some calls? Could be that Tina may just sit on this and launch a major attack at a later date when it may really matter. Then again, those were pretty nasty pictures that Helena exhibited.
Helena is like a virus – she’s nasty, irritating, doesn’t go away easily…but she can be struck down.
LOL. James should be thankful that Bette only game him ‘the wave’ and not ‘the finger’ given her mood! I want a James. He’s sweet, dedicated and hardworking…where can I get one?
The metamorphosis of Bette is a wonderful thing to see. I liked that she’s still holding her her leaving early promise.
Sad that Bette felt deflated by Alice’s investigation. But that seems so real to me. In the end, we all just want to know that we did the best we could, whether or not that effort is visible. For people like Bette that needed it to keep from imploding from guilt or to mend a broken heart, it’s tough to see that safety net slip away. She did it for truly altruistic reasons, with nothing expected in return. But if something should be returned, you don’t want it to be a effort tainted by other’s gossip.
Bette may have changed, but even the best of them fall off of the wagon every now and then. Alice had better watch out.
The fact that you can keep everything so fresh, even when it’s retold – as in Tina to Jackie, is amazing. The plot thickens and everyone is suspect as the one that could take Helena or Alice out. Figuratively, of course. Nicely done, yet again!
Love this Tina is trying to protect her family at all cost. This was awssome Waiting for payback time for Helena. Tina is pretty piss Now how will Bette stop Alice can anyone stop her mouth, Post soon
great great! Jwet I can’t wait for the next one!
Good chapter. This its getting more excited!
One Word – EXCELLENT! Keep up the great work! Your one of a kind i say!
Really love this story, looking forward to see how Tina will get back at Helena, so she can protect her relationship with Bette. Looking forward to your next chapter.
Fantastic chapter cant wait to see what TIna has in mind for Helena. I like this new Bette. B&T forever.
AWESOME!!!! Thank you for having someone post for you in your absence!!! Post soon.
looking forward to see how tina deals with helena to protect her and beete amazing chapter as usual and please post soon thanx byeness<3389375891347689274689
Hey Jwet I’m back I’m just so happy to read your Story again So anyway everything is fine for Me and my husband Compromise that’s why I’m still reading anyway I’m still catch up more to read your Story again Thanks Jwet I Love it Please continue Thanks for that Wonderful Amazing Story.
Great update Jwet; but I gotta tell you, I’m sitting here rubbing my palms together waiting for the paybacks to begin (insert sinister laugh here)!
how many miles is it from slc to ohio, lol. it sounds like so much fun. i need some fun right about now, anywho. j – you are on a different level on this board. your mind, your detail – its overwhelming. payback had better be one hell of a hugh ass bitch for hellno. but sad, bette losing some confidence, when she should be at peace for the help she has given to so many.
*sugh*. both as so fiercely loyal, makes your heart melt. do you need any help cooking, im a great cook. ;) post soon please.
Your touches are always a joy. Love what your doing here. Our Bette is really maturing.
hmm.. PAYBACK is a BITCH, I suppose Helena will be learning the new meaning of Payback…
Jwet, MOre please this story is so great.!!!!
UUUUUUUUUUUUhh Jwet NICE.very NICE. That move with Jackie helping out Tina in her persuit of Helena’s bad dealings, is just priceless–SUPERB my dear (or should I use Helena’s Darling–ha, ha).
I think that B&T should have a heart to heart and Bette should let Tina know how much keeping her actions private means to her. Alice needs to be tanking her lucky stars for the new maturing Bette, other wise she would be in Intensive Care already. As it is Bette may just cut her off. Please post again soon. After such a bad day, I think that Bette needs some T time, maybe a game of T ball (ha,ha,ha).
I need to lock myself in a cupboard for a month & then come out & read what you’ve written – even then It wouldn’t satisfy – not that I don’t enjoy your writing – I just always am left wanting MORE MORE MORE!
I hope that Bette doesn’t slip back to the old Bette. Looks like Helena is in for a downfall.
There’s no place like home * There’s no place like home. Home is where the heart is.
I’m kind of surprise that Bette had such a bad day just because Alice figured the foundation out. She should be glad that she has such a smart and caring (though very nosy) friend. She is looking out for them. She gave them the “helena” file.
I sense a nice heart to heart (hopefuly the entire family) discussion. Will we get that?
Your pig roast sounds a lot like our Hawaiian Roast Pig – Kalua pork. It sounds really delicious – or ‘ono’ as we say in the islands.
Thanks, saying it with a warm smile…for your story.
So glad Bette can see herself and realize she needs to take that breath before she enters it would have saved her alot of heartache if she had only done it sooner..But we would all love to not mistakes at least she is learning from hers.. Great story as always…Can’t wait to tthe next post…
OMG AWESOME!!!!! I really can’t wait for payback. WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND!!!! Wahoooo.
and there are no better place like home..and Tinas heart is Bettes home..i cant wait to see what Jackie will do..amazing chapter J as always thanks
K
Great chapter as always, just love it.
Hey Jwet, have now caught up on the last few chapters, very nice, what does Tina have in store for HP I wonder, what goes around comes around…
Thank you.
God I love this story! Your writing never ceases to amaze me. Can’t wait to see what Tina has planned for Helena. Don’t let Alice cause Bette to much heartache. Anxiously awaiting the next chapter!
