Lifeless Chptr. 8
“I get that.” Bette said now sitting on the bench next to Tina, staring at her profile as she spoke to her. Tina was still talking while Bette let her eyes roam over the delicate drop of her nose the subtle curl of her upper lip, the face she was seeing now was softer than what she’d initially been introduced to before. There were still remnants of a broken woman behind those features just not as prominent as before. This Tina was more comfortable, easy, and warmer than the woman she’d met in the hospital.

“Bette, Sweetie are you coming to the show with us next week or what?” Carmen asked as she was slowly working her way through files that required her signature.
“I haven’t really decided.”
“Well Shane’s on her way to buy the tickets tonight.”
“You know what, you two go ahead, I think I just want to stay in for the night.” Bette knew she was telling a lie to her friend. She’d already planned a night of movies with Tina, for some reason she didn’t want Carmen to know. Like having these secrets from her friends meant more than she could comprehend, she liked having Tina as a friend who knew very little about her past, like maybe she could be someone else with her, or even be the person that she always wanted to be but never allowed anyone else to see.
……………………………
Bette had arrived at Tina’s house earlier than planned, as a joke Tina told her to come over at 5:10 because Bette always showed up at least ten minutes early. So here she was at Tina’s door at exactly 5:00, ready to knock on her door, the screen door was latched open and the front door was already partially open. Tina was sitting on the couch with her head resting in the palm of her hand.
“Hey.” The light from the setting sun caught Tina’s eyes perfectly and Bette was momentarily dazzled by the hazel flecks beaming at her.
“Hey, you’re not dressed?” She answered softly raising a foot to cross the threshold

“Yea, Bette says it’s good for me and the baby. She says there’s no reason I can’t stay fit during my pregnancy.” – nice to have Dr. Porter on call… hope the next appt. is soon ;-)
Hey, thank you for sharing. Will be awaiting your next updates. Love this story
Thanks for the post. Alice and Tasha need to lighten up and give Bette a chance.
I’ve been looking for an update to this story, then you provide two! Alice and Tasha’s suspicions and worries are coming from a place of love, but I haven’t seen any cause for concern. Bette’s friendship seems to be having a positive influence on Tina, and that can’t be a bad thing. Thanks for the double posts. :)
So happy to see you back posting. Congrats on the new job! Two fantastic chapters. I love the friendship you’ve developed with Bette and Tina. For different reasons, it’s exactly what they both need. Can’t wait for your next chapter.

Thanks so much for these updates. I was really missing this story. It’s so good to see Tina returning to life…smiling and laughing. I hope Alice and Tasha don’t discourage her from having this friendship with Bette.
alice and tasha need to get a grip… tina is a big girl and for now her and bette are just friends.. love this story… pps
I would say that Tina talks to Doctor Porter quite often but Bette even more so.

It is so good to see this story again! Thank you for writing it.
Thanks for the updates. Love this story. Alice and Tasha should be happy that Tina has another focus and isn’t quite as depressed as she was before meeting Bette. Bette’s friendship has had a very positive affect on Tina and that is just great. They get along well and the friendship is developing beyond that of doctor and patient. Excellent idea. Thanks for posting.
Very good!
