BETTE-Â “Should I ask?”
SHANE- “I’d prefer if you didn’t. Let’s just say we’re taking a break.”
BETTE-Â “Oh Shane…”
SHANE-Â “Don’t start…”
BETTE-Â “Hey, I’m not Alice…”
SHANE- “We can’t all be Alice, alas.” (Bette chuckles.)
(Tina is sauntering around enjoying her free time as the rain starts spitting here and there. She raises her multi-coloured ubrella, which almost shocks her when she opens it, and her cell rings.)
TINA- “Yes? Hello?”
JEFF-Â “Hey sis.”
TINA-Â “Hey, miss me already?”
JEFF-Â “Yep and I’m about to disappoint you.”
TINA-Â “Uh oh…”
JEFF- “Can’t do the gallery thing this week. In fact, neither can you.”
TINA- “What? Why?”
JEFF-Â “I forgot…mom called…aunt Beatrice is visiting from Pheonix and we gotta take her to dinner.”
TINA- “Aunt Beatrice???? Geezus Jeff.”
JEFF- “I know. I totally forgot she was visiting this weekend.”
TINA-Â “I really miss her, but…”
JEFF- “What’s the big deal Tina? We can go to the gallery anytime and they have receptions there relatively regularly. I’m sure your new friends will understand. And Beatrice doesn’t get to see us often and you know you’re her all time favourite.”
TINA- “Yeah, I know. She’s mine too. Damn, I was looking forward to it.”
JEFF- “What can I say. Sorry. But there will be other times, I’m sure of it. It’s just a reception, no big deal. You’ll catch the next one.”
TINA- “Yeah, all right. I’ll see you later for dinner.”
JEFF- “You bet. It’s on me.”
TINA- “Totally! Okay, bye.” (She hangs up and stands there under her umbrella, staring at her phone, not quite sure why she’s so annoyed, so disappointed.)
(A long rainy day past and Bette was happy to be headed home. Her feet ached and her mood was subdued. She got in and wasted no time dropping her things and heading for the wine. She felt edgy, so vibrant red wine would be the choice du jour. She placed herself on the sofa and her body only just began its slow descent from its high strung levels. She started toning down after the third sip. She stared blankly into the distance and again she saw images of Katherine, whom had never occupied her mind so much since their goodbye so many years ago. As she stared towards the window, it reminded her of the one in her bedroom and that night she thought she was headed down a long road of commitment…

T, as a seasoned author, you certainly continue to have a way with words. This was just one example of the depth of your writing: ” Katie breathes intently, as her body communicates to her radiating heart the beginning of its tempestuous journey, with tingles and traveling sensations that bring all her points of passion into a systemic chorus awaiting the rhythm of the coming melody.” Damn, you are one of the few able to capture that infinite abyss. Keep it up! ;- ))
I finally was able to sit down and read all four chapters at once. As the world of WeHo turns and as the feelings of want, need and disappointment surface. All the women seem lost or yearning for something just beyond their reach. Hopefully Bette and Tina can reach that goal of togetherness.
i hope tina doesn’t choose her aunt over bette…and bette have to stop remembering and go after tina
Aunt Beatrice is from Phoenix? I thought she lived in Mayberry. But anyway, why not dine with Aunt Bea and THEN go to the reception? Or even drag her along? Let Jeff chaperon her.
I got it, at times i think i’m blond (no offence ladies) Somehow i don’t think they will meet up tonight, but the planets are aligning for them, Merlin your the magican so wave your maqic wand!!!! opps please
Good chapter !
I’m right into this…Bette will trust her heart with T huh?
Just love reading your writing. Truly poetry in motion.
