Let it Ride- Chapter 10
Bette was somewhat dismayed when the younger girl didn’t even flinch. The calm she possessed was utterly foreign to the fiery, passionate Bette.
Helena switched her bag to the other shoulder and said, "Thanks. I’ve never seen you around this part of campus before."
She let her observation speak for itself and Bette grinned at the implication that she’d somehow managed to find herself in this part of the school because she’d been looking for Helena.
"I had a meeting with Professor Bhaer."
Helena nodded, questioning interestedly, "The professor of Bavarian folk music? Are you a fan?"
Bette felt herself grin at Helena’s question. It did seem a bit odd for her to be meeting with a specialist of such an obscure field. "Not exactly. The art department is working in conjunction with some of the music professors to put on a little festival around Christmas time."
Helena nodded with mild interest and she said to Bette in a thoroughly inviting tone, "Walk with me?"
———————————————————————————————
Dana slipped into the hotel room around nine. She’d stayed to watch the remaining matches after her shower but hadn’t run into Tina again. Her terse words were ringing in her head and Dana was already ashamed of herself.
Sighing in relief, she found Tina lying on her bed with her notes open in front of her. She looked up with a wary smile when Dana entered and she appeared as though she would apologize but Dana quickly rushed in, saying, "Oh, thank God. Listen, Tina. I really need to apologize for earlier. I acted like a complete ass with you."
Tina said comfortingly, "I’m sorry too. I didn’t mean to pressure you. Or suggest something that offended you. I’m wrong and I apologize."
Dana sat down on he bed heavily, saying quietly, "You’re not wrong."
Tina looked up and said uncertainly," Not wrong about what? Which part?"
Dana gave a rueful smile and wrung her hands before she stated haltingly, "All of it. Look, this is crazy. I don’t know why I trust you, but I do. And I – frankly, I need somebody I can talk to about this. If you’re comfortable. Because if you’re not-"
Tina looked over at Dana, who was still trying to come to grips with what she was trying to say. Getting up to sit beside Dana, Tina rubbed her shoulder soothingly and said, "Listen, Dana. I get it. Better than you think. "

OMG her last words had to be the Six Million Dollar man,,LOL. Frip that was awesome and now I want to know what were in those pills and what does Al have? And Tina is now aware of Dana’s sexualtiy but will she publish it or be a rewl friend and keep it quiet? And last we see that both Bette and Helena are hot and mad about one another,,,love it… I think that Dana should call AL her “Rock N Roll Queen” you know that is the name of the song, its so cool…great chapter Frip.
Six Million Dollar Man? Oh, geez…lol…”I don’t know if I want to slap you or kiss you.” I loved that…so much passion and fury, it’s intoxicating…pps
whooo hooo! i liked this one a lot. helena and bette are great, like their old selves. fantastic, and alice is an unfolding drama i wanna read more of. pps!
You are truly amazing. What a great chapter. Is there something higher than an “A” game? ‘Cause you hit it. Poor Alice! Thank goodness she has close friends who I am sure will rush her to a hospital. I trust you that she will be OK (maybe with a little drama). I hope those pills weren’t too bad — and that she learns her lesson about taking random pills! I have a feeling that Dana is going to feel pretty bad about not being there. They really do complete each other. What a great step for Dana, though, to come out to Tina. I wouldn’t object to any Belena lovin’. I know they aren’t soul mates (like Danish), but, I would like Helena to get some. Oh — and I had those doctors in college! I’m starting to think we may be from the same school. I had a doctor that just had envelopes of pills on his desk that he would randomly hand out. The muscle relaxers were quite nice. Apparently the doctors that were no longer competent for the football team got sent to the clinic. BTW: I’m actually more of a “Mother Goose” than an “Iceman” (hence my login name — actually based on Top Gun — yes, I am that old). Please keep posting. I am addicted to this story.
Thank you for placing the blanket on A while she napped. I guess I was too late to suggest some mega dosage of Vitamin C and Echinesia for her cold before bed. What did you give A, poor A, I hope she did not damage her liver or kidney. I love the way you wrote A’s dialogue. They were sharp & funny. What is going on? Tina’s sick too. Was there a epidemic? It was great to see T being so good to D right away. The exchange between B & H was great and you ended with another unbelievable cliffhanger. How do you do it? See, everyone loves your story and you are posting at “ludicrous speed” (remember “Spaceball”?). Your story is so awesome that I want to respond immediate after each post. Unfortunately I had to go out as soon as I saw the post. All day long I couldn’t wait to come home and read. Thank you fripster!
