Bette stopped the car by a curb and knocked her
forehead against the wheel. This isn’t happening. This couldn’t be
happening. Who is in charge of this unholy ***** called my life anyway?
A scream was bouncing around in her head, but she was suddenly too
tired to move.
“Bette? Bette? Are you okay?” Alice poked Bette’s arm.
“It’s over Alice. The adventure’s concluded. The
journey’s ended. I’m tired… I’m just so tired…It’s just…
everything’s gone wrong. Nothing ever goes right for me.” Bette’s
monotone was muffled against the steering wheel. Alice furrowed her
brow.
“Look Bette, we can’t give up now. You threw away
your shoes for God’s sake. And I skipped a really expensive dinner.
And… what about what feels right? Are you gonna give up on that so
easily?”
Bette looked up briefly, then let her head fall back
down. “It’s no use Alice. Even when I try to do something, things *****
up. It was better when I just waited for things to happen to me.
Nothing ever did… and I didn’t have to feel this disappointment,
frustration… this pain.”
“Shane!”
“Huh? What?”
“I could call Shane and ask for directions! Where
the ***** was my head?! Sit tight Bette, we’re gonna find Tina and when
we do, pray you don’t have the imprint of that wheel on your face.”
******
Tina clicked on the ‘send’ button and sent an email
to all of her loyal clients. The email informed them that as of
tonight, Tina would no longer be available. She was, at 28 years old,
retiring from the escort business.
Tina groaned as she straightened her back. She had
the house all to herself, as Jenny was out with a client. Tina wondered
how she could spend the evening. It was too early to sleep and nothing
good was on TV. She decided to check out the different universities
online. She also opened a window to browse the local community college.
She was just starting to get engrossed in reading UCLA’s course
offerings when she heard the doorbell ring.
“Maybe I’m amazed at the way you love me all the
time…” Tina opened the door and was surprised to find Bette, holding
out a bouquet of wildflowers and… singing?
“Maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you…” Bette
was looking at Tina with shining eyes. Tina could not look away. She
saw Alice out of the corner of her eye, playing an air guitar.
“Maybe I’m amazed at the way you pulled me out of time, hung me on a line…” Tina let out a sobbing laugh.
“Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you…”
“Baby I’m a girl and maybe I’m a lonely girl who’s in the middle of something…
That she doesn’t really understand… Baby I’m a girl and maybe you’re
the only woman who could ever help me… Baby won’t you help to me
understand…”
Bette smiled shyly and handed the bouquet to Tina.
Tears were trickling down Tina’s cheeks. Bette quickly wiped her hands
on her pants then brought them to Tina’s face.
“I’m sorry for the… dirt. I had to pull those out
of someone’s garden.” Bette whispered as she gently wiped the tears
away. Tina laughed and flung her arms around Bette.
“You didn’t pull these from the garden out front did you?” Tina sniffled into Bette’s neck.
“Uh… nooo…” Bette lied and hugged Tina tighter.
“Yes you did. I planted these, Bette!” Tina
pretended to be angry but it didn’t come across that well since she was
planting little kisses on Bette’s neck and shoulder.
“I’ll replant them if you want.” Bette whispered
into Tina’s ear. When Tina didn’t respond, Bette gave her earlobe a
tiny kiss.
“Is that Alice over there beside your car?”
“Oh yeah, we just came from a party.”
“How’d you get here? And how’d you know where I live?”
Bette gave a little laugh and leaned her head
against Tina’s. “It’s a very long and not very funny story baby…
Better told seated, or better yet, lying down.”
Tina grinned widely against Bette’s shoulder. “Oh really? Just how long is this story?”
“I think it might take me all night long to tell you…”
“Come inside then…” Tina disentangled slowly, took
Bette by the hand, and led her inside. Before the door shut behind
them, Bette glanced out at Alice and winked. Alice waved, gave her a
thumbs up, then got into the Saab. She drove home at a constant speed
of 30, doing so for Bette who just suddenly became her hero.
