Tina returned to the master bedroom, hearing the sound of the raining shower water. Never in her life had she been filled with such a desire to be in the shower. Sharing a shower with Bette was one of the great pleasures in her life.
Within moments she was enjoying the warmth of both the water and Bette’s touch. They kissed under the downpour. They cleansed each other. They kissed some more. They heard the crackle of the baby monitor signal that Angelica was awake. They giggled as they played rock, paper, scissors to see who would get her. Tina, the reigning champion, stayed under the hot water while Bette put on a bathrobe.
The rest of the morning was fairly routine. Tina finished her shower and quickly fixed her hair, applied her makeup and dressed so that she could relieve Bette of Angie duty. She hurried down the hall and was handed a cup of coffee by Bette who kissed her quickly on the lips and headed back to the bathroom. Angie was already sitting in her chair, midway through her breakfast. "Good morning, sweetie", Tina said before kissing the top of her head and giving her a gentle squeeze.
She thought of the previous morning, remembering the frozen bagel, and cringed. This quickly inspired the creation of an omelette, light on cheese, thick with tomatoes and green peppers. Having that accomplished and waiting on a plate for Bette, Tina unplugged her cell phone from the charger and noticed that she’d received a text message from her assistant. She pressed on the key pad and began to smirk while reading it . "Oh, Bette", Tina giggled.
"Oh, Bette what?", Bette asked as she came to the kitchen, now fully dressed and coiffed. "Mmm. Omelette. Thanks, T", Bette said as she sat down to eat.
"You’re welcome", she smiled before glancing at the text and laughing. "Um, Bette? Did you ever call and cancel the flowers?"
"The flowers?", Bette asked.
"From yesterday. The flowers that came every half hour. You haven’t called them off yet, have you?", Tina grinned.
The bite of omelette on Bette’s fork dangled in midair as it’s owner froze. Remembering. Smiling. Eyes closing and head leaning back as the lightbulb came on. "Oh no. I forgot. Oh shasta!". That was for Angie’s sake. The substitution of benign words for curse words was often encouraged, but only sometimes employed. She continued. "I hate to ask but, how bad is it?"

When does the other shoe drop?
Red, honey, you are doing a fabulous job with this story. With the last bit of info from Faye it makes me a bit leary for the girls and Angie. That bastard would stop at nothing to stop anyone from doing anything to help Faye and Cora. However, he does need to be exposed and arrested. This is a mighty subject now with the possibility that the girls could be hurt. We don’t want that, now do we. Politics makes strange bedfellows has never been more true. PPS
WOW!!!! I do hope that nothing happens to B&T and there family. Thanks PPS
I’m glad they’re helping Faye and all, but still, I worry. B&T are ace, and so is this story. And lol @ the potpourri! I got that for Christmas once. It’s amazing how well I was able to fake that grateful smile. (Though I’m sure the 2 or so glasses of wine I had with Christmas lunch helped immensely.) I still have that potpourri, it sits, unused, on a closet shelf. One day, I’m sure I’ll have a potpourri-based emergency, and then…! That grateful smile will be real! Ah well, I’ll keep reaching for that particular star. I will say though that I am honestly grateful for your post, red, cos I love this story. Post soon, and thanks!
Mostly loved the morning scene. The Bette and Tina goodness..and playing with their little girl. Hope this Faye recon mission won’t be too taxing on their relationship and family life.. PPS.
I loved the morning scene too. As you (so beautifully) write them, Tina is truly the yin to Bette’s yang. Like others, I’m worried that the morally bankrupt would-be senator will screw things up for them.
Let’s rock and roll!
Expertly written; I stand in awe of your skill with the English language. Plz keep B, T and Angie safe. PPS
Scary and dangerous coming!
Well this has the possibilities of a great big mess. Lot’s of drama ahead. Love how the story is moving along. Hope Richard has his own “cleaners” available. Thanks for the post.
This is getting a little scary! B&T are so in tune with each other. I love it! PPS!!
Your writing is so descriptive that it captures me and helps me to visualize the scene. Brilliant. B & T are going to love their enemy, huh? That is such a strong verse from the bible and one that is difficult to abide by. I hope that they will be successful in their attempt to help Cora. In doing so, they need to keep their family safe and Mr. Buckley sounds like a sleaze. Any father that would put their own best interest before their own child is **and I quote*** “An obstacle that needs to be removed.” Make sure he is dealt with, will ya Red? PS.
