Great Unexpectations Chapter 8
Shane sat there, staring at Bette, trying to understand what she was hearing.
Bette continued, "I plan on having a lot of great times with Tina. A lot. But we will have some bumpy times too. That’s normal for any couple. We’re going to need to feel safe enough to have little spats in front of you guys without having to worry that we’re letting you down."
Bette studied Shane’s face as Shane was recalling events from the past and beginning to panic. "Oh my God, Bette. Is that why-"
"No Shane. Don’t even think it. Tina and I did a pretty good job of messing things up all on our own. But I do think that I didn’t confide in you because…", she paused, a little embarrassed. "Well, I knew you looked up to us. And I didn’t want to burden you with our baggage. But that was my fault. Not yours."
"Bette. I am so sorry. I had no idea", she teared up.
"Hey", she put her arms around her. "What did I just say? Not your fault. OK?" Shane nodded. "Good. Because, there’s something else. I need a favor."
"Name it."
"Can you kind of look out for Tina? A lot of our problems start when we stop talking to each other so… if you see me being distant with her, or shutting her out somehow, could you please just give me a swift kick in the ass?"
Shane laughed. "Yeah, and I’ll remind you of this conversation when you’re telling me to mind my own fucking business."
"I won’t, Shane. I promise", Bette paused. Then somberly realizing it sounded very Bette Porter indeed, said, "But if I do, then you’ll know I’m in trouble and that’s when I’ll need you the most."
Shane looked at Bette with smiling eyes. "It’s a deal. But you know what? I don’t think you’re gonna need me. I don’t know what it is, but things seem different this time. I’ve only been around you two for a couple of minutes, but it just feels different."
"I think so too", Bette smiled radiantly. "Thanks so much Shane. For everything. Let’s go see if our drinks are back yet", she winked. "Oh, and here", she said as she took some money out of her purse and handed it to Shane. "It’s the best fifty bucks I ever lost, too", she smiled turning to leave before Shane could protest.

OMFG!!!! WOW!!!!! this is getting real good. Thanks PPS
Just read this story.. the whole thing thus far. WTF is Faye Buckley doing? I loved the little Bette and Tina moments. Sweet.
Wow, Faye Buckley, I was expecting the usual Candace. This should be interesting.
What is Faye Buckleydoing at The Planet? How does she even know that place exists? Well, that has so much Drama Queen potential, it’s scary. Not exactly what B&T need at the moment when they’re really trying to make things work. Bette is so adorable asking Shane to keep an eye out for her. Is Tina going to ask Bette to wear her ring again? Maybe she’ll give Bette a new ring as proof of her re-commitment. Award or no award, your story is still captivating. Thanks for posting.
I HATE Faye Buckley ¬_¬ But B&T are so adorable. Like, so sweet :)
Our girls are officially back together and you throw in Faye Buckley, talk about a cold shower.
Nothing like an unexpected dose of über bitch to put the kibosh on a good night out. Other than the unwelcome appearance of that cow Buckley, this was a great chapter, red. Loved the group interaction (Dana is still a miss), and it’s a good thing Bette’s let in Shane on the fact that sometimes a swift kick to the fabulous Porter derrière is a necessity. Hard lines on not getting an award, but your writing’s a winner in my book. Thanks for the post, and more soon, please.
Great story and update. But is Faye “effing” Buckely not dead in your story? Oh my gosh, we really don’t need her right about now. Mercy. Get rid of her please before she causes huge problems. I was so happy when somebody shot her last year or was it 2005. Whenever, I thought she was gone for good. Anyway, love the story and the great big plus is that you have “our girls” back together. PPS
I was expecting CandyAss not Faye “Cold-hearted Biatch” Buckley!
OMG! WTF, I hope Tina was watching Bette walk to the bar so she can smack the hell out of that woman. She has some nerve even speaking to Bette.
hello…what is fay doing there? i always knew that she was secretly in love with bette LOL
“I won’t, Shane. I promise”, Bette paused. Then somberly realizing it sounded very Bette Porter indeed, said, “But if I do, then you’ll know I’m in trouble and that’s when I’ll need you the most. ” Great…Great..>Very wise! And Faye? Fuck! Wow!:)
From the divine Amy Winehouse, to that appalling Bloody Brain drink, to the even more appalling Faye Buckley, this chapter has it all! And it WAS great fun to read, especially the Alice-gets-punked bits. The evil Ms. Buckley is as rare as the dodo bird on this site, so I can’t wait to see what you do with her. Incidentally, for all the good it did her Lindsay Lohan should have said no no no to rehab just like Amy did.
OMFG!! Faye Buckley? What the hell is she doing there? Looking for her next victim to insult and abuse? If I were her, I’d RUN! The only reason Bettte didn’t put the “smack down” on Faye last time, was because they were on TV. But the camera’s not rolling now, BIIATCH!! Let the games BEGIN!!!LOL!
What the Hell is Faye Buckley doing at the Planet? I love how Bette confided in Shane and I love Amy Winehouse! PPS!!
dodadododododo,what is Fay going to do, Can’t wait. Md
You just threw a major twist into this story with Faye Buckley. What the hell is she doing in the Planet? Bette does not need this, but I will guarantee you that Tina will be standing by Bette’s side.
Holy hypocites!! Faye Buckley! No you didn’t! LOL. So glad the next post is already up…
This is really a wonderful story to read, but what the heck is Faye doing at the Planet, I look forward to the next installment please post again soon, sorry you got no award.
Bloody Brain? LOL Damn when was the last time we had Faye Buckley in a story? It’s been awhile. Bring it on!
oh no what a way to ruin your night; get the girls to deal to her…great update…commiserations about not winning but hey its the story and reader passion that counts so, so what? right on!!!!
OMG, well this should be interesting.
Good chapter, Alice is funny, what the hell is Faye Buckley doing here!
