The blonde stood patiently second in queue at the counter, seemingly waiting for a friend as she held her cell phone in her hand like a security blanket, glancing down at it repeatedly. Behind the counter Marina worked, serving the customer in front and then thanking them as they stepped away, whereupon she stopped dead in her tracks and stared blankly back at the blonde.
Something about their body language made Bette sit up in her chair and start paying attention, Marina’s eyes were flaring as she looked away, the blonde saying something inaudible which only served to provoke things further.
They exchanged silent heated words, the blonde’s composure intact all the time before Marina threw down the dish towel she held in her hand and walked off, disappearing out of sight and out back.
Bette chewed on the end of her pencil thoughtfully, relieved when finally the blonde turned around and walked right past her without flinching an inch, sporting the same pair of opal eyes and knowing smile that had greeted her one morning through the bars of their gated apartment complex.
She sat down in the far opposite corner with a latte and a muffin, fiddling on her cell all the while as Bette hypothesised in her mind about this new person’s relationship with both Marina and Helena. Thinking that where Helena refused to give her any straight answers, Marina might be the one to provide them.
It wasn’t long before she left again, seeming annoyed that the person she sat waiting for hadn’t shown. She walked deliberately out of her way to pass right in front of Bette’s table and as she did so smiled, causing Bette to smile back in a confused, helpless way because she didn’t really understand what it meant.

“Who was that woman?” Bette asked, sitting down at the end of the counter whilst she waited for Marina to fix her another cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake.
Marina raised her eyes without looking up, “What woman?”
“Don’t give me that …” Bette replied, not buying the bullshit, “the blonde woman you were sending death threats to with your eyes!”
“They weren’t ‘death threats’” Marina sighed, sprinkling cinnamon on the top of Bette’s cappuccino. She passed it across to her, “You want the plain one or the one with the frosting?”

Ahhhgggg…Helena’s not the only one that won’t give straight answers. Well, now we at least know how Marina fits into the picture. Something happened with Evie and Helena feels in some way responsible. Oh well, I’ll have to wait until tomorrow for another piece of the puzzle!
Totally enjoying your story. You’ve got me completely intrigued.
Thank you for the lovely present, I’m touched and honored. You know, I like BettyV, but she’s gonna have to wait for her own birthday, I ain’t sharing! The flavor of this thing is far less A. Spelling than that of a couple of sinister romances that starred Barbara Stanwyck: Double Indemnity and The Strange Love of Martha Ivers. Both of them great films. I’m enjoying this.
ok, Ms. Sofasitte the way I figure it, it’s almost morning in your part of the world, and in my mind that means were close to getting another installment of this story, week-end and all maybe two, well anyway, Ms jigsaw I NEED MORE. Thank you. Md
oooooooh, i can’t wait to see you! i’m going to go outside and run around the block fifty times to burn off this crazy energy which is caused when i know that i’m going to see you soon. ok, i’m going to re-read this story…it really is good, and i like that things are unfolding in their own good time. brilliant love, seriously!
this chapter has left me more intrigued than ever. PPS!!
Mmm like a refreshing beverage this story works well on a Friday night.
(a referral may be needed)…Geezus, couch…you’re killing me here! I’ve had a really really really long and horrible day…so tired…and now drinking wine…and I’ve read this chapter like three times…And you’re effing killing me! YOU AREN’T ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS!!!! You are stimulating more!! Dagnabit! You’re evil…severely evil! :) (But I love it…despite the fact that it makes me feel excruciatingly stupid)…Gawwwwwwwwwd! Did Tina have a fling with Hel…and Evie kill herself?…or…did…Uh…What’s that number of that shrink? And I don’t wanna see Dr. Kennard…she’s scaring me! Evil! Pure, unadulterated evil, you are! :) Keep it coming…UMMMMM…not that I like evil…me not like that…but…oh…couch…you just really better give me some answers soon…puhleeze!! (And tanks to you for posting daily…I’m always happily surprised that you do…quite an accomplishment!) :) :) :) You are really really frustrating me! pfffffffffft :P :)
Once again I just caught up.I am utterly perplexed how Tina fits into the story. Umm isn’t against ethics to counsel somebody you had a prior relationship with no matter what kind.
Intrigue is an understatement here. Love your writing. look4ward to more.
Riddle me this…riddle me that…you sure do weave a tangled web.
hhhhhhmm mysterious, plz post soon…love Dr Kennard’s signature fuck me blue heels…this sounds like a tragedy of romeo and juliet proportions…keep bette safe, she sounds so naive…again pps.
ack, what happened to Evangeline, what happened??? This history repeating itself, I hope it’s not cause for serious worry… but whatever happened, it made Helena a chain-smoking recluse and Marina unforgiving. If it repeats itself, I fear for everyone involved… great, sofa, love the story. ta
hooked!!!!! looking forward to the update.
Very, very mysterious story… Just brilliant! When I started to read this chapter I was full of hope to get some answers to all those questions. And you know what? Now I have even more questions than I had before! You could throw in some answers every now and then, before we’re going to die from to much suspense! :-D And yes, you make my day every day you post ;-) Keep up the good work. More and PPS!
i love this storrrry…why didn’t my comment last night stick? i commented. grrr…anyway, i think this is sheer brilliant brilliance! i want to read more and i’ll wait patiently for it. reading this while watching Adaptation is a jolly good and mind bending thing to do. xoxox baby *smile*
