Not 10 minutes later I stand in the archway. Tina had set the pastries and bagels she had bought on a platter and had retrieved butter and cream cheese from my fridge.
“This is amazing,” I compliment, completely blown away. I hadn’t expected for her to do this, we were meant to be working on my book – didn’t that mean I supplied the food?
“It’s my pleasure.” She smiled, turning from the platters and leaning back against the table. “It’s a good thing I did too. Do you know you have nothing in the cupboards?” Tina asked me in shock. “Do you not eat?” The incredulous tone made me smile, despite me knowledge of why I don’t have food in the house. Well one of them.
“My sister owns a club and a catering company, she usually keeps me feed.” I respond feeling heat rise to my cheeks. Can we please please rewind about 20 minutes so I can wake up all put together?
“And for breakfast you were going to have…” She talks with her hands. Amazing. She turns and gestures with her arm, like a Queen addressing her kingdom – “there’s nothing here!” The way her voice rose with emphasis was adorable and I couldn’t help the giggles that followed.
“What?” Tina huffs in laughter, bring her hand up to her mouth and covering her face.
“Nothing, let’s eat.” I grin. It might be fun working with this woman.
We sat at the table and Tina heaped her plate with a variety of pastries and a single bagel. I still didn’t have much of an appetite so I was trying to determine a way that I could sit here and not make Tina feel uncomfortable, and to not seem ungrateful.
“Aren’t you eating?” Tina asked cautiously, pointing her knife to the food on the table, “Did you want something else? I’m sorry I didn’t think to ask what you ate. You’re so thin, maybe you just want cereal or toast,” She stammered nervously, upset by my lack of eating.
I reach over and grab myself a croissant. Pulling it apart and resting it on the plate. “Cream cheese please.” I sing, finding myself responding to her smile.
I cream cheese a corner of the croissant and take a bite, almost gagging on the mouthful. The idea of food hitting my stomach is tying it up in knots making me feel queasy. I chew slowly and swallow, following it up with the still hot black coffee Tina had also supplied.

Hello My Beautiful Dee… finally finding myself catching up… yeah I’ve been off for a bit but alas I’m back lucky you huh lol… so I am ready and able to take my place as your personal ‘Fanner’ if it means getting more of your incredible words… I completely love how perceptive and inquisitive Tina is towards our beautiful Bette, she sees between the lines, within the deepness of Bette and picks up on the small details that make up her character much like all the minute details you brilliantly place throughout your stories that truly make them flow and ebb like I am being given an pass to an intimate place within these characters lives… with your words and your writing I can hear music… I feel the emotions… I can experience life… love and hugs, always and forever, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick and Personal Fanner to the Incredibly Talent Deean)
Hi, dearest sweet Deean! We couldn’t help our huge grin during the scenes where Tina was around Bette. Just like we said earlier: a fresh breeze of joy is always welcome when your life seems hard and a good laugh surely enlightens your day. We snorted with the comment of the Scobbydo and power puff’s girls. Hahaha Oh, and the Incredibles movie is a hoot. We love it! We watch it often with our nephews. We are glad that Bette decided to leave the house and drop a visit to Kit. Anything to keep her away from being secluded. Her concern for Shaney’s injures, reminded us of a saying that goes: “Those who are willing to help, are the ones who really need to be helped”. Thanks for this amazing update, dear friend. PPS Hugs and kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)P.S. We are starting to enjoy your Tina. *grin*
