I Need You Here – 9
Alice smirked. "You know, this whole father thing made me wonder if it’s time for me to try to fix things with my dad."
"I thought you still talked to him." Tina said, surprised.
"Oh, sure. But it’s more, ‘hey, dad. Oh, you’re still alive? Just making sure I’m still on your will. Okay, ‘bye." Alice shook her head. "Not exactly a relationship."
"I called my parents." Tina admitted. "When I got your message, I just felt this overwhelming need to call them."
"Really?" Alice leaned forward. "What did you say?"
"Nothing. I mean, what can I say?" Tina said, bitterness coloring her tone.
"And people say we form better communication patterns when get older," Alice quipped, prompting Tina’s laughter.
Proud of Tina’s laughter, Alice grabbed her hand and pulled it up. "Come on! Let’s get out of here."
"Oh, that I can’t do." Tina laughed, pulling her hand away from Alice. "I have some things I need to finish and send to my assistant before she flies back to New York today."
"Ooohh, she?" Alice asked, intrigued. She glanced around. "Where is she?"
"Down, girl. Alison’s out at the LA office, and no, you can’t meet her. Not to mention she’s straight."
"So? You were straight, once."
"No, Al. I mean she’s so *****," Tina made a clockwise motion with her index finger, as if on a scale, to indicate how ‘*****’ her assistant was, "she’s turned right back to straight."
"Ohh." Alice nodded her understanding. "So there’s nothing…" She pointed at Tina.
"No." Tina shook her head.
"But you have gotten laid in the past nine months, right?"
"Yes."
"Oh, really?" Alice grinned. "Who? When?"
"You want names and dates?"
"There are names and dates?" Alice asked, surprised. "There’s more than one? In nine months?"
"What, you expected me to just sit around and wait for Bette?" Tina asked, a bit insulted.
"No!" Alice said hotly. "I just… I thought you were, you know, a monogamous type."
"Well, I guess that’s just one more thing about Bette Porter that’s rubbed off on me." Tina remarked.
"Ouch. I think I just got cut from all that brittle."
"Sorry." Tina smiled apologetically. "And it wasn’t like that. It was what Ally likes to call ‘serial monogamy’."

Good chapter. Tina is between a rock and a hard place. She is gonna have to make a move though, she knows they love each other. Bette – well – at least she’s trying(via voicemail) even though she is obviously falling apart. How is she going to get through the wake and funeral? More please:-)
That was some great dialogue with Tina and Alice. Thanks.
