    Author Notes:

    Chapter 93 – Freedom of Choice

     

    “Does Alice need a reason for anything she does?”  Bette asks the hypothetical question.  “If we could figure out what motivated Alice we could cure limp wrist disease!” Bette states flippantly.

     

    This makes Tina laugh as well as Bette but than Bette quickly gets quiet.  “I’m not ready for that detail to be made public knowledge.” Bette divulges in a quiet whisper.

     

    “Why is that Babe?”  It’s such a beautiful thing you’ve done.  It’s a part of you that not many people get to see.  You’re not ashamed are you?” Tina asks as she tries to understand Bette’s apprehension.

     

    “No No it’s nothing like that it’s hard to explain.  This project no it was more of a mission.  This mission became my life for a while.  It was this one good thing that I had when everything else was toxic.  I had poisoned everything I touched.”  At this Bette look away from Tina not wanting to convey the level of self-loathing she felt for herself. “This was my chance for something pure, untainted.  Something good that I haven’t violated in anyway.”

     

    Tina watches as Bette describes her good thing.  The obsession and passion touches Tina as she tries to understand.  “Babe you don’t really believe that you poison everything you touch? Tina asks as she is shaking her head.  “You know that’s not true.”

     

    “No I don’t but at a point I would have been hard pressed to see things any other way than that.” Bette concedes.  “I guess my point is creating this good thing saved my life.  It was my mission to create this entity that would give a leg up to others but when it was all said and done it gave me back so much more than I can ever explain.”

     

    Bette is at a loss for words as she tries to explain just what the creation of the MYV meant to her.  “My sanity, my self worth, my pride.  It helped me put those components into context.  All the pieces to the better person I wanted to become came from that effort.” Bette concludes as she attempts to explain just what significance this project had become to her.

     

    The more Bette revealed the more of her soul Tina could see.  “So the MYV became your salvation in a way.  Is that what you’re trying to say?” Tina asks as she is trying to help Bette.

     

    “Yes that is the simple answer.” Bette says now as she is again looking at Tina, letting her see the significance that this line of thinking meant to her.

     

    “So the fact that Alice is snooping around and knows bits and pieces disturbs you because ..”Tina begins to restate Bette’s feeling to be sure she understand but at the mention of Alice‘s name Bette quickly fired back.

     

    “ALICE … My God you know as well as I do with Alice knowing anything is like taking out a full page ad.  I might as well just do it myself and beat her to the punch.  You know she just won’t get that I don’t care about anyone knowing that it was me.  Who cares?  It’s none of anyone’s business.” Bette gets out forcefully as she is all fired up to attack Alice again.

     

    “Ok Babe.  Easy I can see that you are all ready to cause some bodily harm to Alice.  I have an idea.  Why don’t you let me deal with Alice?  I mean any interaction the two of you may have might not end with the desired results you are looking for.” Tina says as she has seen Alice and Bette get into it in the past and it was never pretty. 

     

    Bette just looks at Tina as she still seething with anger at the thought that Alice has been sticking her nose in her business.  As she just looks at Tina with her tender, caring face Bette realizes that she trusts Tina with all that she is.  “You know you are the only person on this earth that could get me to not do serious harm to Alice the way I’m feeling about her.  But I have faith in you Tina.” Bette says as she is trying to come to terms with letting Tina handle the ‘Alice problem’. 

     

    “But I can’t be held responsible for my actions if she gives you any grief at all.” Bette follows up quickly.

    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.
