I Need My Best Friend – Part 9
‘James, could you give us a minute first?’
‘Sure Tina.’
Tina closed the door and turned back to Bette. ‘He didn’t need to know the details.’
‘After everything I’ve done how can you still try to protect me?’
‘I just didn’t think he needed the particulars. I need to tell you something.’
‘Okay.’
‘I called Foxworthy this morning about our appointment.’
‘Have you changed your mind?’
‘Yes. No, not about seeing him I just wanted to see if we could see him before Tuesday.’
‘And.’
‘He can see us in the morning, if you can make it.’
‘In the morning is fine.’
‘Nine o’clock good for you?’
‘I thought you were seeing him at nine.’
‘He’s going to see me at 7:30. Are you sure you’re all right with me changing it?’
‘As much as I’m dreading this I know we need to get started. I’m glad you didn’t change your mind. Now how about we take a look at what James has for you.’
Tina couldn’t believe all the information James had put together and how much interest Bette was taking in this. After James had shown her all the layouts Bette took her to the area they were thinking of using. Bette even wanted to have a hands-on area for the kids and was wondering about replicating one of her artists’ dinners so the kids could discuss their afternoon. Tina hadn’t seen Bette this excited about anything in a while.
‘Bette, why are you taking such an interest in this?’
‘I know you think it’s just so I can spend time with you and maybe at first it was, but now it’s just ‘
‘Fun?’
‘Yeah, a really nice distraction.’
‘You never answered me about dinner?’
‘You know the answer is yes, let me just get my things.’

Once they were in the car Tina suggested they go back to the house and order in. Bette went to change while Tina ordered dinner and then suggested Tina change and get comfortable too. It was such a nice night they decided to eat by the pool.

I am just getting caught up with this story its so good. I can understand Tina’s struggle and I know she will overcome the anger when she realizes her love outweighs the anger. GREAT story
that was great, I so agree it is about time. work it out
Very good, you had me hoping all the way, that Tina would budge just a little. Bette is on her way and has accepted her mistakes and is taking on the responsibility to recetify them. I will be waiting for the next chapter. I hope that it won;t be too long. Thanks
I was really concerned about the direction this post took. Thanks so much for the feedback. Sorry I take so long between posts.
This was so right on. Kudos to Bette for leaving at the end…she was both right to leave, and very brave to leave as well. Well done!!
One says that they are sorry, making attempts to change, showing remores, showing how much love they have for the one they love. Is all one needs to show. Tina wow she has to deal with that angier or she will lose out. Catch the next chapter.
I agree with abouttime. Bette has apologized enough and I’m sure it was difficult for her to just walk out but it had to be done. No more dancing around the guilt and the same issues. Its time to move forward and begin the healing process. Excellent chapter, asalways!
I agree with what everyone else has said. Good on Bette. Tina needs to sort herself out.
Bette was ready to face some of her issues while Tina isn’t. I do agree that in order for it to work, both parties have to be ready. Time helps a lot though in that duration, it’ll be like hell.
I found this a very emotionally powerful chapter and echo everyone’s comments regarding Bette’s willingness and Tina’s cowardice.
Thanks for posting!
good for bette! not just leaving, but explaining why she was leaving just shows the depth of her love. its up to tee now to do some soul searching.
great chapter, well worth the wait.
i agree with everyone else-it was time to go. Thanks for taking the time to write this great story
This is bloody brilliant. I do empathize with Tina and I do love Bette.
