“What does that mean?”
Shane took a deep breath. She wasn’t going to comment on her observations unless it seemed like they might be welcomed. Actually, at this point, she wasn’t sure that they would be welcomed. But Bette was her friend. Tina was her friend. And Shane wasn’t about to let herself become the scapegoat for whatever was going on with the former couple.
“I just see things, you know.”
The defensiveness continued. “There’s nothing to see.”
“When you guys are in a room together your eyes are always on her.”
“It’s, well, if it seems that way it’s just coincidence.”
“Bette.” Shane leaned closer, lowering her voice. “You’re not just looking, you’re eye-fucking.”
Slow blink and silence coming from the other side of the table let Shane know that maybe she had been too blunt.
“I have a girlfriend, Shane.”
A girlfriend that you’re not eye-fucking, Shane thought. But she’d already surpassed what her friend might tolerate for the day. That thought on Bette’s current was not one to be shared.
“We know I’m not a relationship person.” Shane managed a smile at that thought, knowing if she didn’t find the humor she’d instead find the pain of her own history. “But I’m still Yoda.”
“Fuck.”
Maybe she had pushed Bette too far. “Look, Bette, forget I said anything.”
But Bette wasn’t even listening at this point. “Fuck.”
With the break in conversation Shane finally had a chance to take a big gulp of her coffee.
“Bette, I’m sorry about Tina. I’m glad she was okay.”
Lost in her thoughts, Bette rubbed at her forehead before speaking. “You won’t say anything.”
“C’mon.”
“No, you won’t say anything.” Bette shook her head. “I’m sorry. I’ve… school… nevermind. I need to go.”
With that, Bette stood, Dean Porter mode fully in effect. Again composed, she exited The Planet.
Shane took a moment to consider what she might do in a similar situation, two women in her house. She realized that maybe she shouldn’t analyze that thought too much. Such thoughts cut too close to the latest drama in her life.
Whatever.
Shane finished the coffee and considered ordering another. Then she might take the time to think about things. Later. So far, she hadn’t had enough caffeine.

Don’t you hate when the page breaks like this? This was very real, Pseud. I could see it happening just like that. And yeah, when it comes to eye-fucking,they do it the best, don’t they? Thanks!
Yoda knows all sees all and still manages to bring the drama to her own skinny ass. Thanks for a great response to last night. Who will Tina talk to?
I;m hoping that Tina talks to Bette, Like I said when Bette told Tina she was in love with Jodie ,that was a good excuse to get drunk,to try and drown her feeling for Bette. Eye=fucking that is a good one. thanks
I so sympathize with Shane. I gave up caffeine last July because it had progressed to hard core addiction. Eye-fucking. Great phrase. Oh Bette you’re so damn worried about what other people think, you’ve forgotten to worry about how you feel. Thanks Pseud!
there’s never enough caffeine LOL thanks, i like your little snipets from s5
Never enough caffeine indeed to keep up with these two women.
Excellent dialogue!!!! I could totally see them…in fact I could almost smell Shane’s coffee!! Thanks!
So good.
Bette has a PhD in misplaced anger. Enjoyed the post as always.

Hey Pseud, Thank you for this wonderfully written story. These little vinigettes are perfect self contained moments of time. Am loving them all. Many thanks for adding your spin on these recent events. How typical that Shane is the one to call Bette on her eye-fucking Tina every time they are in the same room. Awesome!!! More please. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
it’s about time someone called bette on her ‘looks” when she sees tina! bowing to yoda,lol still wanna hear tina’s side??? she must have one hell of hangover…:)
loved how you brought our bettes hoping no one notices the eye fucking. thx
Remarkably my internet has permitted me to read your story. Was Bette Cleopatra in another life? Cause she sure has spent a lot of time in de Nile. Must be hard work for such an intelligent woman to blind herself to the obvious. She’s built great big walls to hide herself from a great big hurt. Even Oedipus wasn’t that blind after that unfortunate needle to the eyes thing. However, I don’t think Bette’s problem is an Oedipus complex.
