    Oasis Part 13

    Given that we don’t know how long that the emergency will keep her we have a meeting on Thursday.  It was going to be Friday, but Helena would kill me if I missed my appointment and didn’t get the results.  Is it cowardly to want to ignore it?  To want to put it off forever?

    At least I have something to look forward to between now and then.  Tina’s company was refreshing, despite her tendency to mother, she would take my word for how I felt and we could get on with things.  The gals, as much as I loved them, were always waiting for the other shoe to drop.

    So was I.

    I cant help but still wonder what a publishing emergency is.  Do they stop the presses in those places?  Do authors pull out at the last minute?  Health department?  Rats?  Bats?  Cannibals?

    Okay, now I am getting silly.  And restless.

    My skin is humming and I just want to get out of the house, to ride my bike up into the hills.  Ride it on the side roads at 200m/ph and just… just.  Stop breathing.  For a single second stop breathing and start living.

     

     

    **********

     

     

    I take off my helmet, shaking my head to free my hair a little.  It’s a little humid out, so I don’t expect that to do much good.  I kick my leg over the seat and stand, tucking the helmet under my arm and walk through the doors of Xen, my sisters catering business and day-time coffee shop.

    “Morning Kaye,” I call as I walk up to the counter, “Kit in?”

    Kaye nods and points to the office in the back, “she’s taking a time out.”  She elaborates, fluttering over to serve a customer that came in behind me.  Waving my thanks I make my way to the office, interrupted by someone calling my name.

    Turning around I see Shane reclining back on a very comfortable looking chair, padded with arm rests.  Not the typical fair of the coffee shop, but the reasons become apparent when I notice the sling and bandaged ankle.

    “What in the hell happened to you honey?”  I question, kissing her on the head before taking a seat to the left of her.

    “That is a long story.”  I figured it might be, it was Shane, things were always more complicated then they looked.

    “It’s not like I have anywhere to be.”  I encourage, patting her free hand.  I was worried about her, and upset that she didn’t tell me, that no one told me my friend had been injured.  I would have… I live next door, she could have, and should have come to me.

    I know now was not the time for that.  I just wanted to know what happened, so I could help her.  To be there for her, like she has been for me.

    1. 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)

    2. 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*

    3. Deann, you forgot about me! Iam always here, a faithful reader, even if I don’t get a comment posted. I know I had one ready. At any rate, what happened to Shane? Let Bette take care of her, she needs to feel useful and to nurture. I think this Tina is ok so far!
