“Come here” she says, patting her lap with one hand while the other encourages my head downward.
I finally give in and place my head on her lap. She runs her fingers through my hair. She knows that is one thing that calms me down. How ironic, that I should be the one providing comfort to her, yet she is doing that for me.
“Bette…..how are you?” she asks.
“Fine” I reply.
“Do I have to repeat the question?”
“No………I’m dealing” I reply, in a tone that clearly says ‘don’t push’ me”
I can hear her take a deep breath in and sigh. “I will let it slide, but we will talk about this” she said as she looked at her watch “I need to get back to Maggie…will you be okay?”
“Yes….I’ll see you later when we move your stuff in your new place”
We hug each other and hold onto one another for a brief moment before we head to our own cars.
As I get into my car, I get a phone call from Al.
“Where are you?”
“The boathouse”
“Don’t leave, I’ll be there in 5” Al said as she hung the phone up before I could reply.
I wait in my car listening to my CD when Al pulls up next to my car. She jumps into my car, the excitement apparent in her body language.
“I have something amazing to tell you”
“Good….good news would be good”
“I’m going to Burma with the U.N. for a year. I get an interview with Aung San Suu Kyi.
I san in shock for 2 minutes until Al shakes my shoulders.
“Isn’t that the Noble Peace prize winner?” I ask.
As I asked it, I received the look from her which basically said “I thought you were just a dumb jock” type of look.
“So ….how is being the number one pick of the Cleveland Assassin’s?”
“Damn Al, how do you know already? I have not said anything yet”
“It is the chart Bette”
“What is that? Another one of your crazy idea?”
“No…..the ball girl is sleeping with the strength coach, who told me”
My eyes just roll at the explanation. “I don’t leave for 2 weeks”
“Okay, so we need to definitely have a girls night out….how about next Monday?”

Hey you! WHO KEEPS WHO UP LATE AT NIGHT??? LMAO….hmm…let’s think about this. Who doesn’t SLEEP? LMAO! Actually I have told you before, you don’t keep me up, I have been up into the wee hours of the morning chatting it up with people. One gal is on the West Coast, so naturally when we talk, it is only 12AM there, and 300AM for me!! Wouldn’t it be something if we were all on the SAME time? Anyway, what can I say here that I don’t already tell you? The story is progressing nicely, great pace, good structure, and please……don’t give me any credit there sweetie, you are the creator of this fine story which you have given birth to. Keep em coming my friend. I have to jump in the shower now, it was a looooooong day. I have some rather humorous moments from my Grandfather’s funeral….all I kept saying was “only Charlie” I’ll share them with you when we chat.Take care my friend, and I’m loving it!!!!!!!!!!! PPS!
This was great! Your characters are evolving at a nice pace. Bette is ever the protector. I am glad she got the team she wanted….. Great chapter lady
once again great chapter and loving the characters that are coming into the story, continue please!!!
A great chapter, I love the Bette as the protector and I am looking forward to see her and Tina get to know each other real well if you catch my drift! ;-)
Hey Tylo, I read this chapter….then went back to read the others. Great job girl. Your writing has gotten better with each post. I’m enjoying your story….keep them coming. We can never have too many Bette& Tina stories…since IC doesn’t give them any lovin’
I’m a little on the lost side, but still a great chapter. Is it Saturday yet? Well, it’s still Saturday here but I mean in your story. lol
I really like the progress of your story, can’t wait until Saturday night! PPS.
The CAC stands for the Cleveland Assassin’s Centeer were they will play.. Sorry that was my mistake. Lament why r u lost? If u all have q ask but i might not answer them
Hey your Vols won. My alma mater did not even make it to the big dance. Pretty cool that you are bringing in AMC to your story but my favorite one is GH. Did you notice that daytime does such a better job of telling drama stories than the L word. Go figure, maybe they should hire someone from daytime to help them out. Maybe then we will get to see a B&T couple. I hope that Tina is on Bette’s mind and that their upcoming date is one that they never forget.
Great Chapter!!! Okkay, Bette got picked by the team that she wanted to play for but what about my girl Tina, where did she get a job at? Can’t wait for the next chapter.

A Great Chapter tylo!!!!! Your writing keeps getting better. I really like your story. Tina and Bette’s frist date can not wait. Thank you PPS
‘ Each trying to save the other from drowning…even if it is only for one night. ‘ That just absolutely left me speechless… PPS!
Hey its walks well its getting better with each post loving it and if it means less sleep so be it lol im not far behind you with about 5 – 6 but i need my beauty sleep fact i have a craving for olives right now :) keep up the good work x chiao x
Love it! You found the balance (“l’équilibre”, french word of the day lol), it’s funny but deep and touching at the same time… talent and imagination are yours, bravo Tylo!!!
Good chapter. Nice to see B&T are meet again and have lunch, and can’t wait to see their date on Saturday. Ok post soon please, thanks! Glad to catch up with your story and love it!
Great as usual. Looking forward to your next post.
I’m lost because I’m not sure who Binks and Maggie are and how they are connected to Bette. They were probably mentioned before and I forgot.
Like the AMC connection. Binks adds to the story well. Can’t wait for Bette and Tina to get together for a hot date LOL. The story is moving along great. talk to you soon :)
CALVIN & HOBBES!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA.. good one tylo
