"I woke up and saw your note. Cute, by the way", Bette winked. The wink was probably supposed to put Tina’s mind, and stomach, at ease. It didn’t. "After awhile I went down to the beach to find you."
"Bette. Babe, please let me explain", Tina panicked. "It’s not what you think. I didn’t- "
"Shh. Tina. It’s ok." Bette caressed Tina’s wet hair. "I know it wasn’t your idea. I saw you slap him. It’s ok."
"It’s ok?" Tina asked, near tears.
"Well, not entirely ok. I think I might have to have a little talk with Richard. But you and I are ok. Ok?"
"Bette, are you sure?", Tina pleaded. "I don’t want what you saw to give you any doubts about me. You know I love you. And only you. I don’t want to kiss anybody else but you."
"I know", Bette said pulling Tina close. "Come here." She pulled Tina under the warm water with her and kissed her soft and slow. The knot that had been Tina’s body loosened itself and she gave herself over completely to the kiss. And to Bette.
*****************************************************
An hour before dinner Tina was preparing in the kitchen while Bette paced anxiously. She kept checking her watch and looking out the window. What if she doesn’t show? What then? Soon Richard knocked on the door. Bette opened it to his wide, beaming smile. He was nearly giddy. Helped along a little bit by Jack Daniels from the looks of it, Bette deduced. The urge to reach out and strangle him was surprisingly strong, but she brought it under control. An hour before meeting Faye’s daughter was no time to start infighting. "Richard", Bette smiled. "Come in." Hearing this exchange, Tina poked her head out of the kitchen to make sure they were playing nice.
"Bette, you look gorgeous", he said, leaning in to kiss her cheek. The smell of his breath confirmed with no uncertainty her suspicion that his happy hour had already started. "Thank you", she said politely.
"Hi Betsy", he called out cheerily to Tina. Bette turned and rolled her eyes. "Hi, Albert", Tina called back. Bette knew they would have to keep up the boyfriend/girlfriend charade and fake names for a little while. At least until they were able to tell Cora the whole story. But she didn’t like it. She didn’t like the familiarity with which Richard seemed to grant himself when it came to Tina. She also didn’t like the fact that she would not be a part of the dinner party. After a heated discussion with Richard earlier that day, it was decided that Bette would hide out in the bedroom for fear that Cora would recognize her from the infamous televised debate. But Bette insisted that the dining room and living room be fitted with cameras so that she could see and hear everything from a monitor in the bedroom. Now looking at Bette and reading an expression he’d been graced with once before, on the plane, Richard quickly excused himself to the bedroom to make certain all of the necessary connections were intact.

Damn Red, you always so that!!!! Stop when it gets to the good parts. I am so loving this. Thanks PPS
Ok Red, this is what we’ve been waiting for, please do not make us wait to long. Md
I’m sorry you’re bringing “Great Unexpectations” to a close, but I love how you’re going about it. The Betsy/Albert ruse was a hoot. It figures Richard would try to take advantage. Good thing Tina’s so handy with a fork.
Sorry to see this story come to an end but so happy they found her. Hopefully when she wakes, she will listen to them and take their advice, comfort and the protection they offer. This has been a very interesting story from the start, and believe me I had my doubts, as you well remember from my comments early on, that Faye was being honest and genuine. I believe I offered an apology somewhere in there for my comments but, if I did not, please accept my apologies now, I was wrong. You’ve done a wonderful job with this story. Please post soon.
I dunno what upsets me more, that this story is coming to an end or that Cora missed her mom by a few days. *sigh* I hope Cora stays, and lets them all help her. “Bet” let “Albert” off too lightly, with only a fork jab. That doesn’t matter though, once she sees to Cora, I think Bette is going to give Richard a thorough pummeling. Or at least I hope so. I take it Kit and T have something really good worked out (I have an idea what it is), I’ll be waiting to see. Great chapter, red, post when you can. Thanks!
u really had me going there. more when u can. Thx.
Hopefully Cora will forgive her Mother,and can peacefully morn her passing. Now it up to Bette and Tina to protct her from other evil thing that is lurking in the background. thanks so much for posting
shit, i’m kinda afraid to have dinner with you. stabbed in the leg? if i pass the salt instead of the peeper do i get a bread knife in the eye? another great update red but you and your damn cliffhangers. i’m curious where you’re going with this and don’t worry ladies, red is such a stickler for details that she’s got a long way to go before she can wrap all of this up. oh, she’ll threaten us and swear it’s almost the last one but it will drive her nuts to finish hap hazardly so don’t worry there is plenty of story left! lol. ok, red post when you can and you better have an even better story to tell after tonight…
Excellent update. Eagerly awaiting the next :)
They finally find her and now they have to tell her that her mother is gone. It sounds like Cora really did love her mother but was unable to live with all that had happened to her in her life. I hope that she allows Bette and Tina into her life. It would be nice to see her around the gang. I hate to see this end and I hope that you will continue to write after you have finished this story.
Brilliant, as always, red. This continues to be one of my favorite stories. Emotional as it was, this chapter also had me cracking up… Betsy and Albert, lovely couple! I wouldn’t have guessed at the onset that I would have felt sad that Faye didn’t have the opportunity to right things with her daughter. Look foward to reading Cora reaction to their story. Thanks for such a wonderful read!
This is so freaking good and we all waiting for this moment, so emotional and hope Caro will let B&T and R to help her and get her life safe. Please post more, thanks!
Great story …..still. Nice to see that there can be drama without it being between B&T.
As usual you’ve outdone yourself. However, the cliffhangers are killers. :) I am glad Cora didn’t take off before they could start to talk to her. I feel so bad for her and hope she will let them help her.
Great chapter! Tina stabbing Richard with a fork & him limping off was soooo funny. Hope B&T&R can help Cora now that they’ve found her. Thanks!
oOoO c’mon you gotta post soon, i read the whole thing in one night n now i want to know how it ends, its been awesome xx
