Once inside, the three women stood awkwardly in silence waiting for somebody to make the first move. Tina scrutinized Faye’s face and was slightly disappointed that the mark of her blow did not still grace Faye’s cheek. Bette noticed Tina attempting to engage Faye in a stare-down and squeezed her hand. "You have a lovely home, Faye", she said as she looked around.
"Oh, thank you, Bette." Faye said before she turned her gaze to Tina and smiled. "Being a cold-hearted bitch pays very well." Tina was taken aback at her own words coming back to her in such a manner. She blushed slightly at the apparent lark that Faye seemed to be having at her own expense. She opened her mouth to speak but words were failing her. Faye laughed a kind soft laugh and said, "Relax. That was a joke."
Tina exhaled a small laugh herself as she loosened her grip on Bette’s hand. She was beginning to believe in Bette’s theory that there was no bad here. But what the hell is going on?
Bette’s apprehension was almost calmed until she spotted a disturbingly familiar man in the background. He was the man who’d restrained Tina at The Planet when everything hit the fan. He appeared to be in his late twenties or early thirties. He was muscular, tanned, and wore his hair in that sexy, messy style that was so popular with young Hollywood types. Achieving that look was usually accomplished with the use of various hair products and a flat iron. Bette, however, owed this man’s look to rolling out of bed after coming off a three day drunk. She’d received no special intelligence that led her to that conclusion, but it suited her and she was holding to it. She detested him immensely and bristled accordingly. Faye noticed Bette’s displeasure and looked to the man. "Richard. I think we’ll be fine." Richard read Faye’s expression and politely excused himself.
Remembering that she was the hostess, Faye offered her guests a drink. Bette and Tina opted for wine and Faye left them to themselves while she fetched it. Now alone, they nervously looked at each other. "I’m sorry, babe. This is bizarre", Tina said. "I know what you mean, T. But don’t be afraid, ok?" Tina looked into Bette’s eyes and smiled, "How could I be, with you here?" Bette smiled and caressed Tina’s cheek with her hand.

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.
