Oasis Part 20
“All the pretty girls hmm?” Tina questioned from the archway that separated the kitchen from the living room, “do these girls ever eat?” I could tell she wanted to add more to the questioned, but she stopped herself just before. Probably a comment on my own eating habits, as I know even since the last time I saw her week ago, I have lost a significant amount of weight.
Does she think I am anorexic or bulimic? I hope not, a being thin isn’t something I have ever strived, for, I’ve always worked harder on being physically fit. That itself has fallen away, and will continue to do so for months to come.
“Solids only once a week.” I joke, cringing at the lack of actual humour in my words. My hands are sweating, why am I so nervous?
Tina giggled coming back into the room “I don’t know about you but I need some food.” Tucking her hair behind her hair she sits on one of the armchairs across from me, “I’m sorry I fell asleep on you,” she said sheepishly. “That isn’t why I came over.”
I smile at her, “and here I was thinking you heard about the comforts of my sofa and you decided to partake in them.”
A small grin graces her face, “yes. The stories of your home, and body have travelled far and wide.”
Scratching my head I am a loss of words, the cheeky woman just stumped me.
“We can eat now, which I think would be a good idea,” Tina explains as she eyes me carefully. I am aware of how thin I am Tina, thank you very much. “Or we can talk and then we can eat.”
Her cards were on the table, and now I got to choose whether I was in or out. We have talked on the phone much more then we have met in person, and everytime we have talked I never noticed that she could be so bossy.
So sure of herself, even in someone else’s home, that she would take control.
I think I like it. At least it’s an amusing distraction from the current problems that I am living with.
“Well?” She questioned, leaning back further into the leather of the chair. I remember when I first bought that chair, Helena was dating a woman from PETA, and Alice a vegan. Between them both they pretended to adopt the beliefs of the people they were seeing.

Tina’s right, Bette does spend a lot of time in her head, but it’s fascinating and really entertaining. Nice chapter, thanks for posting.
Hi there, dear sweet Deean! Bette’s body must certainly look fragile. The deterioration of her health is one of the reasons behind it. Also, the lack of meals ingestion is taking its toll. Ah, Bette needs to be more careful, as with the treatment she is going to receive, her immune system will require a large doze of nutritional elements, to overcome the secondary effects. We believe that Bette has not achieved the proper balance in her life; mentally, bodily and spiritually. Once she gets these essential basics, she might be able to reach the inner peace she has been looking for. Tina’s presence is a beautiful distraction and it is good to see that she speaks her mind. Bette certainly needs someone to get her out of her “own world” of thoughts. The book project is another incentive for Bette, as to focus on something else than her illness. Excellent chapter, dear friend. Looking forward for your next installment. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks.- Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick and Tias Adoradas to Patpez)
I think your Tina is the perfect person to bring into Bette’s life. She will bring her what she needs during the treatments and in her life, in general, a new friend and possibly a great love. I love your writing and can’t wait for more…pps
