Oasis Part 20
Difficult for Helena given her penchant from a decent pair of boots. Even harder for Alice who couldn’t eat her favourite hamburgers.
It was family night, and it was hosted at my house as is the tradition, and the girlfriends came along. When they walked into my house and discovered my leather furniture, my jackets and the fact I was cooking steak they went insane.
Alice’s girl became a blubbering mess, crying about the life that I had snuffed out for my ‘comfort’; Shane politely pointed out that we eat the meat too, so it isn’t all about comfort. Even Alice laughed at that.
Helena’s girlfriend was a little more tricksy, but thankfully she didn’t spend long in my home before she was kicked out, but the threats of violence were a little much. As was the threats of killing my precious furniture.
“You know,” Tina mused, drawing my attention back to her. “For someone as observant as you, you spend a lot of time living in your head.” Yawning, she drew her legs up and under her, half relining on the large, plush chair.
I didn’t tell her, but that was my favourite chair in the whole house, and on beautiful rainy days I would drag it up to the window and curl up under a light blanket and read, or draw.
I couldn’t help the sheepish half grin that took over my face, “sorry about that.” I apologise in a tone I that implies I am more sorry about being caught then actually doing it. At least the tone of my voice is honest.
“Since you aren’t going to make up your mind, lets order take out and get down to business.” Back to that bossy thing. he distracted me then blind-sided me.
Isn’t their a crime against that. If there isn’t, there really should be.
“What do you feel like.” I hear myself offering. I don’t bring up the fact that I am not hungry, that would make Tina ask questions. I also didn’t expect her to listen to me.
She doesn’t see like someone who would back down, and I admire that in a person. I admire it even more when that spirit doesn’t have me in the cross-hairs.
Grinning like a cheshire cat she inclines her head towards me. “I’ll let you choose that since you know what’s good in the area.”

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
