”I took care of the rent until the end of the year. And I paid yours and Shane’s tuition for next semester. How are classes going?” Bette asked as she put her arm around Alice’s shoulder
Alice took a sip of coffee and nodded her head.
”Good. I should make the deans list again. I can’t wait to graduate next semester. I can’t thank you enough for putting me and Shane through school and paying for our apartment so we can concentrate on our studies. You have done so much for us” Alice said laying her head on Bette’s arm
”I told you that I intended on taking care of you both. I was not going to let you two go back into the foster care system and Kit didn’t want that either. I am fortunate that I make enough money to keep you both going. But you two need to get jobs when you both graduate because I’m not forking out money after that” Bette said looking at Alice for confirmation.
”I know. I know. I plan to get a job at a local newspaper or magazine by the time I graduate. Shane already has a job lined up working with a CPA. Her conquests have been quite successful lately.” Alice chuckled
Bette chuckled as the door flew open revealing a lanky brunette making her way inside.
”Hey Shane!” Bette greeted as Shane threw her apartment key on the table and plopped in the chair beside the sofa propping her feet on the coffee table,
”Hey! I’m glad you are here. I wanted to ask you something” Shane said running her fingers through her short hair and looking at Alice.
Bette scoffed then nodded
”Ok? But I don’t know if I am going to like what you are going to ask” Bette replied.
Shane chuckled then cleared her throat.
”Well? I was wondering if you could help get us a car. I mean we are within walking distance to the campus and everything but Alice and I have to bum rides everywhere we want to go. And since you want us to concentrate on our studies and not work we don’t qualify or have the money to get one right now” Shane said as she sat sat back waiting on Bette’s reaction

Tina…Tina! Think girl…. Bette walk into your life 24 hours ago and you want her to start dating you? You want to be with her regardless of the circumstances and the fact that you feel so guilty about your actions of 20 years ago? Your way or the highway? Seems like a bit controlling and unreasonable. Being friends first sounds like a reasonable idea to me. Don’t you want to get to know this Bette…this woman who has been through so much trauma and accomplishment? Don’t you want her to know you? And to be sure that her forgiveness of your actions were well placed? Just making such a request would be seem a bit neurotic to me. Just go with the flow for a while, she going to be your mother’s live in nurse for a while. After making such a demand, some people would call the office and tell them to send another nurse. She may care for the girl you were, but she does not know the woman you are except that you are attracted to her but are feeling the guilt. What if after you have resolved your guilt problem, she does not seem so attractive any more? Hell, you’ve been a straight girl forever… are you really ready for this? Take some time to think about this…do you want to break her heart again?
Good story….cannot wait to see what happens next.
Totally agree with Martha. Not much to add. What starts in chaos ends in chaos. Take a breath, Tina. All is not black and white. It seems a little of the determined to get her own way Tina still lurks. She can’t change 20 years in five minutes. Is it love or to assuage her guilt? She can’t know. Yet. Interesting way to incorporate Alice and Shane. I like this story.
Agree with you and Martha. Tina wants to make up for lost time and “that is the “guilt” that Bette is talking about! She needs to want for Bette to really be healed from a broken heart. Hmmmm
Ditto to all of you. Tina’s reaction seemed very teenager-like but I’d say that her thoughts and emotions are all over the place after the revelation. She should go for a long walk to think, sit with her mother and tell her all of what was happening and going through her mind. Sometimes it helps to give voice to the things which are battling in the head. Grab the chance to have an honest friendship with Bette first, everything more will come naturally (or not) when the time is right.
Martha, Billy and DumplinT have captured my thoughts exactly. Tina would benefit from therapy herself to deal with the 9 year old guilt filled little girl and understand those confusing feelings before she embarks on any type of relationship with Bette or anyone. Glad she let Matt go, but she wasn’t honest with the reason why. She’s emotionally immature. I hope Bette’s sense of responsibility doesn’t push her to be with Tina prematurely. She’s got a lot of scars whether she is willing to admit it or not.
Great storyline. Looking forward to more.
On the same wavelength as Martha, Billy, Dumplin T and BAT here. This is a very nieve Tina and Bette can see it.
Love the connection between Bette and Shane and Alice and the storyline it gives us.
Looking forward to more so please post soon.
Stay safe
Agree with you about liking Shane, Alice and Bette’s friendship. She is well aware of the necessity of drawing barriers by telling S & Al that are going to have to find jobs and places of their own after graduation.
She doesn’t mind helping, but all of them need physical distance. Even Tina has an apartment as opposed to the easy option of staying in the guest house
Can´t wait for more.
