They enjoyed the next two days as they’d enjoyed the days previous. Much love. Much family time. Much more love.

Bette hurried around the living room gathering her purse and keys, readying herself for her visit with Faye. "Are you sure you don’t wanna come with me, Tina? I’d really like it if you would come." Tina looked at her watch and did not answer, instead walked into the bedroom. "Shit", Bette muttered. While trying to decide how to soothe Tina the doorbell rang. Bette opened the door and Alice promptly walked in.
"Hey, B. Ready for your big night?"
"What are you doing here Alice? What big night?"
"I don’t know. Tina called me yesterday and asked if I’d come over to sit with Angie. Didn’t she tell you?"
The look of confusion on Bette’s face answered Alice’s question. "Jesus, Bette. Don’t you two talk to each other?"
"Of course we talk, Alice."
"Who wants top doesn’t count, Bette", Alice quipped.
Bette’s laughter caught in her throat as she bit her bottom lip. "Watch it. Angie’s right there."
Alice turned and held out her arms to young miss Angelica. "There’s my girl!!" Angie ran to Alice and squealed. Alice scooped her up and whispered something into Angie’s ear. The child giggled in agreement. Tina emerged from the bedroom in fresh clothes and a grin and walked into Bette’s open embrace. Tina leaned her head back and accepted her soft kiss. "Oh, thank god, T. You scared me."
"Hey, you didn’t think I’d let you go over there without your bodyguard did you?"
Alice was too busy plotting the night’s activities with Angie to listen to Bette and Tina’s plans. She didn’t need to though. Any excuse to spend the evening with Angie was fine with her.
"Ok, guys. See ya later", she said as she practically pushed them out the door. Tina left first leaving Bette closest to the door when Alice began to close it. Before it closed all the way, she quickly opened it again and whispered devilishly. "It’s Tina isn’t it? Come on, you can tell me."
Bette blushed. "Goodnight, Alice. Thanks."

The Saab lazily made it’s way through the Hollywood Hills. Bette had one hand on the steering wheel and one hand on Tina’s thigh. Tina loved driving with Bette. Loved that Bette’s hand only left her skin when absolutely necessary to make a sharp turn. She thought back on how many years she’d been a passenger in Bette’s car. In all those years this was their primary position. Bette’s hand on Tina’s thigh. Tina’s hand on Bette’s hand. The only time it was not like that was when Tina was pregnant. Bette became an entirely different driver during Tina’s pregnancies. Her Type-A personality, under normal circumstances, carried over to her driving habits, meaning it was bad news for anybody on the road who didn’t have their act together. She was an aggressive passer, signaling if the mood struck her (it usually didn’t) and did not suffer lightly those who used the passing lanes to enjoy their lazy Sunday morning drives. She was impatient at lights, immediately honking if the first car did not accelerate at the change of the traffic light. She’d been known to yell out her window "Any particular shade of green, asshole?!" That was a line that she’d picked up from Alice. It had made her laugh the first time she heard it, and she quickly stole it for her own use.

i think i know where this story is going-i like it
Oh red, I’m so intrigued by your tangled little web… I’ll have to save my guess for the next chapter. Love your writing!
Faye Buckley is still a b_ _ _ _, and so is her mama. Thanks!
I’m even more confused than before, but will continue to read anyway. This is a very interesting tale. PPS
Great update and a little confusing. Still can’t figure what she is up to and I hope she is not planning to hurt the girls in some way. Maybe a foundation to help the LGBT community. PPS
Well, I’m officially not the sharpest tool in the shed because I have no idea what Faye is up to. I mean, I can guess that she wants to give something huge to Bette and Tina, probably the print Bette sold when she had no j-o-b but other than the obvious I’m dying, I’m sorry, I’ma jackass with a ton of money, I’m drawing a blank. Besides you are way to clever for something as obtuse as that so I guess I’ll have to wait and see like everyone else. Besides I’m too depressed to ponder it any further tonight! LOL.
Man this story gets more intriquing with each chapter. I get the feeling that Faye is dying or just maybe Faye may end up being Bette’s mom (no just kidding). Something is definitely up here.
Maybe I need something as obvious as Blue’s Clues cos this is all a bit Where’s Waldo? for me… I haven’t a Scooby as to what Faye’s up to. But natch, I can’t wait to find out! Still don’t trust her, her motives, or her throwing money at anyone affiliated with a Porter to buy away her guilt. Anyway, I really liked the description of Bette As Driver… it rang so true. I don’t think Bette As Passenger exists, and if she does, she must be fearsome. Excellent as always, red. Thanks for the chapter.
faye better give that print back; i still don’t like the lady.
If this chapter was to let us know what Faye is up to, you still have be stumped. But, that ok, it just means I’ll have to wait to see the connection between Bette and Buckley and why Buckley bought the Kiki Smith print. More to look forward too. Thanks for the update and PPS.
Great writing as always, but Faye’s intentions are a mystery to me. I get very bad vibes from her though.
Good chapter and what the hell is Faye up now!
so faye has kiki smith print…what’s going on? what secret is she hiding?
I am completely hooked! PPS
I have no idea where this is going, but I can’t wait! PPS!
I think you really have the characters and writing so connected realistically and I am definitely gonna put my ff vote in for you next time. It seems to me that you know the show inside and out and I can understand every nuance to your situations. Gotta say the best series I’ve enjoyed so far…..keep up the good word and oh yeah don’t take your time!!!!
Can’t wait to see what’s next. Love B&T’s easy and loving banter. Thanks for the post :)
I’m anxious to see where you’re taking this story. What is up with Faye? Please post again soon!
WOW!!! I so can not wait to see where you take this. I am hooked, Thanks PPS
Hum, I have a little problem. I’m french and I have absolutely no idea of what “a nestled potted fawn” could mean. And the web translations are awful, so would someone please explain this to me. Because I feel I’m loosing a big part of the story here…
I had a feeling that Bette saw the print she used to own. Are Faye’s hands cold and clammy because she’s dying? Please, I need more! PPS!!
I have no idea what Faye is up to.. But can’t wait to find out. Love this story. Angie has great taste in watching Blue’s clues. I used to love watching that with my son. lol
The mystery (reformed Faye or evil-as-ever Faye?) deepens, leaving your readers more hooked than ever. The inventory of Bette’s driving habits was brilliant! Kendra, it’s spotted fawn.
Kendra35, the fawn thing is the Kiki Smith print that Bette sold. :) No idea what Faye is up to.
