Great Unexpectations Chapter 19
Bette opened her mouth to speak. About to tell Tina everything. To tell her about the print she saw at Faye’s. About the dream. About Richard in the dream. She struggled for where to start. Her words did not come to her. Tina became frustrated and stood up. "Angie’s inside with Shane. I asked her to come over so you could take your shower. I have to go now. I’m late for work." Still not angry. Still cold. Still even-tempered. Still up shit creek. Tina began to walk away, towards her car.
"Tina wait", Bette pled. She began to speak, but again the words failed her.
"Bette. Just forget it. When you wanna let me in on what’s going on, you know where to find me", she said abjectly. "Oh, and I left you breakfast." With that, Tina headed for her car.
A spark of hope. She can’t be too mad. She made breakfast. She walked into the kitchen. She saw Shane attempting to feed Angie.
Shane avoided Bette’s gaze, not wanting to appear to be eavesdropping, but the patio door was open. They both knew it. She went to the stove, looking for perhaps some eggs. Or some toast. She found nothing of
the sort. She looked to the table for a fixed plate. Nothing. Instead she found an apple and a freezer burned bagel that was quickly defrosting on a paper plate in the middle of the table. The frozen bagel was a special kind of insult. Those were the emergency bagels, only to be used when fresh ones were not available. And sometimes not even then. Bette had kept them in her freezer for, god, she couldn’t even remember how long. But that was not the point. There was a sleeve of fresh bagels next to the toaster. And Tina knew it.
Ok, Bette. Figure out what the hell is up with that print and talk to Tina!! Just like that she’d come up with her entire agenda for the day. Work be damned.
Just like that she’d come up with her entire agenda for the day. Work be damned.
She leaned down to kiss Angie good morning and picked up the apple. "Guess this is my breakfast", she joked, looking to Shane.
"Guess so", Shane said, attending to Angie.
"Ok. I’m going to take my shower. Are you ok here?"
"We’re fine", Shane said slowly getting up from her chair. As Bette walked away Shane sidled up behind and smacked her squarely on the ass. Bette turned around angrily. Angie burst out into cackles of laughter and Shane couldn’t help but join her. "You told me to do it, Bette. Remember?"
Bette thought back and did remember. Smiling, she scolded her. "I told you to kick me, Shane. Not smack me."
"Well, you should be glad I didn’t kick you. I’ve got my thick boots on today."
"I guess I should be", Bette said as she walked towards her bedroom bath. She held up her hand, giving a backwards wave. "Thanks Shane."
Shane grinned and called out, "Anytime" before turning back to Angie who was still caught in fits of laughter.

Hey everybody. I don’t know why this is 8 pages. it should have only been about 3 or 4. I think the site is skimping on words per page or something. I’m sorry if you saw the 8 and were mislead to think it would be a longer read. out of my hands. -Red.
red….This chapter was wonderful. Betet better talk fast to Tina. PPS.
Redhorse, can I just say that you are one of the cruelest people I’ve ever met(?)!! Here I was thinking I would finally have the answer to what Faye really wanted and no longer am I searching for closure on that one. I am also now searching for closure on Bette withholding her thoughts/fears from Tina! JK. I love this story, PPS!
Oh that’s ok Red, I loved the idea of getting 8 pages of this story. What the hell does the fawn mean. Have I missed something or am I just too tired to think. At any rate, Bette is in a hell of a lot of trouble with Tina and she had better explain quickly. With flowers, candyb and champagne. Tina is pissed and been crying to boot. PPS
Red, you’ve got me so intrigued. I must say that Bette’s dream sucked, but Bette should have just told Tina everything. Tina would be relieved to hear what is actually wrong, because I’m sure that what Tina’s imagination has come up with is much worse. Here’s a big thank you that is owed to S! and another thank you to you red! Can’t wait for more!
What an excellent chapter! Thank you. By the way, I thump using my middle finger and thumb. Have I been doing it wrong my whole life? I think I have alot more power that way.
Aww. This chapter was sad. Still so much work to do on their relationship. PPS.
Great chapter. Buckley has awaken a lot of fears in Bette. Hope she shares with Tina.
Just loved the sprinkler scene… too funny. I’m no closer to figuring Faye out and must say that this peeping-Tom act she’s got going on is a bit creepy. What’s with her watching B&T?? Guess I’ll have to wait for the reveal… Love your story Red.
it was wonderful; so loving their interactions…hate faye with a vengeance for ruining their good tomes 2gether…and so soon…
shez!!! i meant ‘good times’ 2gether.
OK great chapter, but Bette better get it together quickly and let Tina in on whatever it is before the drama starts for them again. We really need to know what FB is up to so please don’t make us wait to long.
I’m anxious! What’s with this print? And Bette’s “breakfast” was Tina’s way of telling her she’s in the dog house.
Way to go Shane!! Bette needed that. She better find out her info & then get down on her knees and beg forgiveness. Quick!! PPS!!
I see those two going through a rough time soon unless the waves can be smoothed out. I can understand Bette’s dilemma but she somehow needs to say something to Tina. Bette’s dream really was weird and scary.
Hope drama not coming, let Bette talk to Tina!
Bette had better get Faye figured out… else Shane’s going to have to do a lot of ass-smacking. And LOL @ the “emergency bagel”… I have a freezer full of “emergency food”. Loved the chapter, red. Thanks
excellent chapter. bagels with freezer burns. painful. the dream was too. so far, bette has been able to overcome her various mind hurdles, so she should be able to deal with this one as well. or fear more freezer burns and shane’s boot. thanks!
Your stories are just so much fun….Spinklers, flicking Alice in the head, frozen bagels, and smacked in the a** to mention a few of the key moments. I have no idea where the Faye thing is going but am enjoying the ride to find out…of course, this is only because I have faith in the APW. (She will help Bette fix it, before she screws up. Right?)
LMAO@Shane! XD
Bette needs to get to her woman real fast and tell her what’s going on. I so love Shane. Thanks Great Chapter PPS
Poor Bette. She’s terrified of disappointing Tina, but she’s doing just that by not communicating. The sprinkler scene was a hoot! Can’t wait for the big reveal.
