“Popcorn.” she answered with a bowed and almost shameful head.
“Popcorn?” Tina asked with a smile at the thought that Bette could or would allow anything as close to junk food in her home.
“Yes, popcorn. I have weakness for popcorn with Tabasco sauce.”
“Uh, smoke flavored Tabasco sauce.”
“Yes.” Bette’s mouth hung open for a few seconds hoping to say something else in her defense but nothing came to mind. No one had ever questioned her about this, mainly because no one knew about it. The only person who did know was Marissa and she never really noticed enough of her environment to question Bette about it.
“I never would’ve guessed that you liked popcorn and Tabasco sauce.”
“Not all the time, just with the TV on the nights that I get off work.”
“It’s just that everything in your cabinet is grown and picked from a garden; your garden. You only eat organic food and I have not seen one thing out of place since I’ve walked through your door.”
Bette feeling self-conscious about her home all of a sudden looked around and to her it was normal for everything to be symmetrically placed and situated as it should be. The designated places were coordinated according to their relevance in her everyday usage, as it should be. Tina laughed at the look of concern on her face as she looked back and forth throughout her kitchen and living room.
“Don’t look so worried. I understand it I really do.” Tina said taking the sugar from Bette’s hand. Her soft fingers brushed over Bette’s and she instantly felt the warmth from them as they passed over hers. Tina used the small spoon in the jar to place some in the small container she’d picked up off of the table before heading into the kitchen. “It’s just a little startling to see someone so attentive to their environment as much as Rick was.”
“What?”
“Yea Rick he was the same way with the house, he’d have a conniption if something wasn’t placed back in order. He even had a three part system for folding his socks.”
“Really?” Bette looked at Tina while they walked back into her living room. “His socks?”

I’ve missed this story. Thank you for posting. Excellent.
Will Bette and Rick has some sort of kinship. huummmmm. More………….
love this story… and i also love the way they are becoming friends.. great job… pps
So glad you’re back. Love the story. Love their interaction and the way in which it is becoming easier for each of them to be in the company of the other. This is helping Tina so much to break that iron hold on the idea of not being a mother and it’s also helping Bette to see her patients as people and not only as medical subjects, especially Tina. The friendship is developing so slowly and it is allowing them to fully see the other person. Wonderful update. Thanks for posting.
So cute.
Thanks so much for posting. I’m glad Tina is able to open up to Bette about her fears and anger. The emotional intimacy seems to be melting Bette a little too.
Missed your story.Thank you for the update.
Now I remember this. PPS
Hey Nettababy03, That was wonderful. I love the gentle motion of Bette and Tina in this tale. They are every edging nearer each other. What was amazing was Tina’s confession that she was having this child for Rick and that she is totally overwhelmed with the reality of her situation. Becoming a parent is the most important thing most of us do. This is now hitting Tina hard. And then there is Bette; she is breaking all of her self-imposed rules and fratenizing with a patient. Instead of freaking her out this is opening up a new world. One Bette is beginning to like. I love that she shares so much with Rick – total control freak – and with Tina – fear of failing as a parent. I really can’t wait to read more of this magical adventure. Please post soon. Your Loyal Fan.
That was great!
