“I can’t believe you weren’t going to tell me that your sister had a baby.”
“What? No hello? How is LA? How are you, my youngest daughter who I haven’t seen in six months?” Carrie teased. She had expected as much.
Rose Kennard sighed exaggeratedly. “Are you at lunch with Tina?”
“No, something came up and Tina had to run. She said she would call you later.” Carrie was like all normal children. She lied facilely for her siblings to her parents.
“Is she ok?” Rose asked, suddenly concerned. “Where is Angelica?”
Carrie laughed at how quickly her mother had returned to behaving like Tina’s mother after so long an absence. Calling her on this seemed like a bad idea though. “She’s fine, mom. She and Bette had something to do. I’m not really clear on what. I have Angelica with me.” She was not about to tell her mother that Tina and Bette were likely having ***** as they spoke. That would have been a little too much for either one of them to handle.
“Ok,” Rose accepted her daughter’s explanation for the moment. “So, how is LA?”
Carrie laughed again. “I love you, mom. You know that?”
“Don’t make this hard, Caroline. It’s an emotional moment in my life and I’m going through menopause on top of it,” her mother joked. “Do you have anything else to say? Or should I hang up before you make fun of me some more?”
“Actually, mommy, there’s something I wanted to ask you about. Someone offered to buy the movie rights to my book”
When Tina pulled into the driveway she couldn’t help smiling at the Saab in front of her. Bette always beat her home if they were taking two cars. Bette argued that it was the superiority of the Saab as a vehicle and not her penchant for speeding when she was alone in the car that kept her ahead. Tina knew better. She had seen Bette burn rubber out of the driveway on more than one occasion.
Opening the front door, Tina found Bette perched leisurely on the couch. “What took you so long?” Bette asked.
“I cured cancer on my way home. Sorry, babe.” Tina closed the door and collapsed on the couch opposite Bette. “So, what was on your mind again last night?”

I see in our future a NC17. They are talking and the love just shines. thanks
Thank you! That was just perfect!
great chapter..give us more please
Great chapter, Iloved that they finally talked and I love the change in Tina’s mother. I see a visit from here mom further down the road. Now that they have talked about thier seperation, it will be much easier for Bette to face her family. Please post again soon.
Reading your story, I had the vision of you (and a few other authors on this site) in a select class of very bright, very precocious, advanced writers.
Your writing is so fresh, so witty, so clever. Ahhhhhhh…you are an definitely an overachiever, and here is your ‘A’! (air kisses on both cheeks – mm-wah mm-wah).
That Caroline Kennedy is a peach, isn’t she? She could be the most dysfunctional person in the world and be justified, but instead, she does good works, contributes to society, maintains the family name and carries on in the face of terrible tragedy. She is to be admired. You have good taste! Her namesake is a peach too – and so are you for coming back to this story!
*singing* So here we go now,
Holla if ya hear me though, come and feel me flow – I love that song. Thank you for putting a smile on my face today and taking me back – way back into time with that one!!
Beautiful what a lovely, love it. Now let see some loving of this 2. Post soon, thanks!
Another NC-17 in our future????
Hopefully a NC 17 chappy is coming hopefully.They needed to talk.Hopefully Bette and Tina will wear their rings again.
2 days, 21 chapters and my dog isn’t too happy with me I can tell you that! Let’s not start with the ppl in my life either, I think for the first time ever my voicemail is full!
I love this story. I love the words you use (cabal…metier…to name a couple, yeah I’m a cruciverbalist).
Carrie is adorable, wish I had a sister like that! But most of all I love this BnT. You’re the only writer, I’ve read, that is actually asking Tina why she came back home? I know if I were Bette I’d hate to think that my ex-wife only came back b/c she was sorry for me. So, I’m glad that you’re handling that.
As for Helena – she is the proverbial cross that we must all bear. I hope they figure out a way to crucify her…something tells me that Tina’s parents may play a bigger role in banishing that terror than we think.
Well, I do hope you post again soon and just know that I’ve added you to my fave authors listing.
sweet talks..i like i like. hehe~
