    Chapter 93 – Freedom of Choice

    93 – Freedom of Choice

     As the shock of this revelation began to sink in to Tina, Bette realized that Tina hadn’t really been convinced to take the money yet, that the amount seems to have put it in a whole new light.

     

    Tina was pulling away from Bette to the point that they were no longer touching.

     

    “Why would you do that Bette?  That money was from your father!  You should keep it!” Tina exclaimed in a rather loud voice.  “I don’t want your or Melvin’s money!”

     

    Bette tried to calm Tina “Baby, it’s what I wanted to do with it.” As that was her reasoning, Bette was trying to get through to Tina but Tina wasn’t listening. 

     

    Tina is just appalled by the amount of money.  That much money was serious business “But Bette we weren’t even together, we weren’t even talking I hated you!” Tina now almost screams at Bette, as she can’t comprehend why Bette would give her that much money.

     

    “T it is only money.  I never wanted it.  I have always provided for myself.  You know me I have never wanted anything from Daddy but his love and respect and you know with Daddy you always had to earn his respect.”  Bette explains to Tina as she is looking at her pleading with her eyes. 

     

    “Bette that is an awful lot of money You just can’t give that kind of money away without expecting something back!”  Tina said in the heat of the moment as the thought hit her mind she voices it.  Gone is the filter which usually serves her so well in preventing such foolish talk.

     

    Bette felt like she had been slapped as Tina alluding to having strings attached made Bette straighten up on the couch.  Bette leaned forward as she tried to see into Tina’s eyes what she saw there made her gasp as if she had been hit in the stomach.  Tina’s eyes told her that Tina was talking from the heart.  ‘Does she really think I am that kind of person?’ Bette thinks to herself as she leans over her knees, suddenly not feeling very well her head shaking from side to side.

    1. And the plot thickens wow Alice is going to have a field day! im glad Tina understands that Bette doesnt have any motive behind her actions but can understand her needing time to take it all in! so as always looking forward to where its all going.

    4. LOL B….felt good being first, huh? LOL

      Anyway, moving right along….I am glad that Tina is accepting the money. Understanding that she needs time to process all of this means that she wont act like an ass about it.

      Alice….dear ole Alice. I hope no one has forgotten that Tina has to approve all of Alice’s articles and Alice had plans of slipping all the MYV info in with the rest of the stuff that needs Tina’s approval.

      What I dont get though is Alice’s unquestionable need to confuse investigating into interference.

      Great chapter Jwet!!

    5. im glad Tina is ok about the money but if she dosent want i sure can take it..lol..oh Alice you are in really bed sheets..great chapter post soon!!!

    6. If anyone can take care of Alice it Tina. . Alice doesn’t realize that she can lose good friend over her being nosey. My reply to people that ask a lot of questionis I really dont know or I didn’t ask. thanks

    8. wahbin – thanks a bunch. we woulda missed, no we woulda been climbing the walls if you hadnt posted for jwet. we need our fix. this chappy. thoughtful, insightful, wonderful. it would be nice to see bette take care of al but no violence from jwet, hopefully. tina will do it for her heehee.

    15. JWet,
      Great to be back and able to comment on your wondrous additions to this masterpiece.
      I have been MIA lately given workload and lack of resources however am now able to pass my judgment on these last chapters.

      Great to see that Helena’s comeuppance in building slowly, as Jackie too, is now involved. This is the best way to deal with an individual such as Helena. Just like the petulant child when all her toys are taken away will look for distraction in other areas and move on. I feel that there could be all sorts thrown out of her pram.

      As for Bette and Tina, You have clearly outdone yourself with the lyrical and beautiful explanation and realization of a truly selfless gift.

      Bette has grown so naturally in this story that her simple clarification that her desire to provide and support Tina and Anna via the trust was completely altruistic just seemed right and realistic.

      Tina’s initial horror at the amount was slowly eroded by Bette’s declaration. Being able to see things from Bette’s point of view was a delightful written as Tina consciously comprehended the truth.

      As for Alice, I see that there may be storms ahead but I hope that Dana will provide a safe and secure haven for her.

      Tina stepping in to deal with this is another important change and development in Bette and Tina’s relationship. It shows the trust is there completely.

      I think that Alice is only being led to the stocks and not the gallows.

      Today’s questions:
      What type of personal injury insurance and protection does Alice have? Fully comprehensive I hope! Has Tina been taking karate classes and awarded her first Black belt? Does Alice know? Will Tina think of a suitable way to pay Bette back for all of this money? Has Anna started her Christmas list yet?

      Can’t wait to see where this tremendous tale leads me to next.
      Please post soon.
      Your Loyal Fan.

    16. Thanks for posting. Tina’s reaction was strong, but understandable. They are getting to know each other again and Bette has some big stuff to tell her.

    17. So glad it looks like Tina’s going to come around and accept the money. Like she herself stated, Bette did it at a time when they weren’t even talking, and Tina basically hated her. Now Tina handling Alice thats gonna be good.

    20. Little by little the picture is becoming clearer to Tina.

      I’m happy to see that even though she shot off like a bottle rocket at first, she allowed herself the time to actually hear what Bette was saying. Great line by Bette that she may be Melvin’s daughter, she was not him. Very important point, not only for her – but for Tina as well. I’m glad that Tina put two and two together to realize that Bette put that money aside when they were not even talking! That alone should tell her that there were never any strings attached.

      I think all of Bette’s reasonings for having the money for Tina were valid. Just because you have money doesn’t mean you have to use it. But it can provide a little bit more peace of mind.

      Bette just keeps making great strides staying true to her ‘new’ self. That alone should be worth it’s weight in gold. To both of them.

      Alice should be happy that Tina volunteered to talk to her. There would have been nothing left of her if Bette had gotten to her! Now, will Alice heed Tina’s warning?

      Thanks wahbin for posting in Jwet’s absence. You have no idea just how happy that makes us!!

    22. I’ve just re-read this ‘cos last night I was reading it at 3 a.m. when I got home and was a little drunk and too tired to even put a short comment. I’m an addict LOL! Anyway, great chapter. Bette is a rock.

    24. Thank you, Wahbin and Jwet. This was a nice chapter, good insight into Bette and her reasons to do what she did.

      Poor Alice…I hope Tina can protect her!

      Thanks…..it’s always so nice to see a post from you.

    26. Alice does not know how close she is to losing a good friend, because Bette is at the end of her rope with her snooping into her private life. She has already warned her, but MS.Nosey just persist. Tina is her last hope. I am soooooo happy that Bette stayed and opened up to Tina and Tina understands. I am STILL patiencely waiting for Bette to tell Tina that she was thee when thier daughter was born, Tina is just going to melt. Great job Jwet, please continue.
