    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 5

     

    “Bette and Lee.”

     

    “What about ‘em?” asked Alice.

     

    “How are they doing?”

     

    “Fine, good” she said.  “I don’t really know.  Bette doesn’t talk a lot about her or that aspect of her life.”

     

    “Really?” asked Jenny.  “Even to you?”

     

    “Especially to her” laughed Shane.

     

    Ignoring Shane’s comment, Alice said, “She likes to keep that part of her life private.  Ever since Tina left her, she has never opened up about that stuff.”

     

    “That’s kinda sad” said Jenny.

     

    “Well, can you blame her?” asked Dana.  “I mean, her life was an open book for everyone to read after Tina left her again, and Bette was not exactly open about things before that happened.”

     

    Alice just nodded in agreement. 

     

    “I can understand that” said Jenny.  “You would just think that at some point she would want to open up again, you know?”

     

    “What’s the old expression?” asked Alice.  ” ‘Once fooled, shame on you.  Twice fooled, shame on me’?”

     

    “I don’t think that Tina was exactly fooling Bette, Al” said Shane.

     

    “No?” said Alice.  “Well, you coulda fooled me then, ’cause I think that she fooled us all, especially Bette!”

     

    “Al” Shane said with some frustration present in her voice.  “I don’t think any of us knows exactly what happened between the two of them and to speculate is pointless.”

     

    “Who’s speculating?” asked Alice.  “I’m simply calling it the way I saw it.  Nothing more and nothing less.”

     

    “And what exactly did you see?” challenged Shane.

     

    “Honey” said Carmen as she rubbed Shane’s thigh trying to calm her down a bit.

     

    “No!” said Shane.  “I would really like to know what the ***** Alice saw that would lead to her knowing so much about what went on between Bette and Tina.”

     

    “I am not saying that I know what went on between the two of them, Shane.  Jesus, what the ***** is wrong with you?” asked Alice.

     

    “Nothing’s wrong with me” said Shane, backing down a bit from her current position.  “I just think that none of us knows what went on and should just leave it at that.”

     

    “Let me ask you something Shane” said Alice, her temper beginning to rise.  “Since when did you become Tina’s big defender?”

    1. again you leave me on the edge of my seat….errr I’d like to get all you writers who think this is a good technique in one room….and well….do something to you all!!!! But I digress….GREAT chapter, pls don’t make me wait too long for the next….poor bette, I’m thinking that she’s gonna make this hard for our miss TK….and rightfully so..

    2. Phew, I just exhaled. You really wracked up the (delicious) tension as we waited for the big meeting. Well done, I say.
      T will be lucky if Bette welcomes her, IMO, especially with Kit running interference. It’s delicious – thanks.

    3. You have got to start posting much sooner. This story is getting so good, I can’t wait for the next chapter. Please tell us why Tina took off for a second time, I can’t wait to see where you take this. Wonderful posting…

    4. I was wonderin where u were, leavin me with that cliffie 4 soooooooo long!!!! Now I hope that it won’t be 2 long b4 they start talking and workin through their “stuff”, AND NOSEY ALICE STAYING OUT OF IT ALL!!!!!

    5. I think that Kit needs to mind her own damn business!!!!! I also think that Bette should have told Shelly that she would call her back!!! I don’t want her talking to kit, I want her to talk to Bette!!!

    6. i need greenteas tina right now to get my breathing calmed right now. my chest is pounding and i cant breathe. trying to unknot my stomach also. shit this was good. and im still know you are gonna kill us all before your done. thanks.

      Jumping up and down….giving you a ^5!! Now that’s what I’m talkin”bout! I couldnt breathe worth a damn!!

    8. Excellent chapter. I hope they can work it out but it seems like people are realy upset with Tina so it will be intresting to see where they go from here and if Bette can forgive Tina for leaving.

    9. I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until the chapter ended and I was finally able to take a breath. Damn, this is good. Bette must have been through hell when Tina left her.

    10. I also was sittting on the edge of my chair and holding my breath. Tina has a lot of explaining to do…I hope Beth listens. Everyone needs to step back and let Tina and Beth work this out…hopefully with the results we are all wishing for.

    11. OMG!! You’ve managed to make my heart feel as though it is in a vice!!! I am soooooo loving this story!!!! Please post something soon–I mean the next chapter, that is what I mean…and please hurry! Thanks:)

    12. At least Bette didn’t kick her out of the gallery, right?
      Question: does Tina still own half of the gallery?
      Why am I messing your narrative flow?

      Great chapter, I was waiting with bated breath all throughout.

    13. i know kit only wants the best for bette… so i hope she doesn’t ruin this for tina… kit has to understand the best for bette is tina… love this SKIP… please continue

    14. Seeing Tina was to Bette’s “dismay”, hmmm; I’m a BnT fan so I’d like to see them together, but Tina did leave twice, sneaking off the 2nd time and “slammed” the door on Bette twice in NYC…will Bette just welcome her back with open arms? bette’s heart is still raw, Tina is still an emotional mess, though most of that is anxiousness to know if she can still have a life with Bette, it will be too bad if she blew it by shutting Bette out; if she had only sent word..”I had to go, but I’m working on me to get us back”, her method was harsh and selfish..let’s get this show on the road POST!

    15. Loving this chapter. Please don’t let Kit stop what is about to happen and Please, Please don’t let Tina leave again and let Bette accept her back. They belong together.

    16. Skipton,

      You tantalize and then torment me with that ending. After all the build up I was desperate to see how Bette and Tina would react when then met for the first time again. You beautifully prepared the soil, laid the groundwork, started planting the seeds and now I have to wait to see how they grow.

      Not fair but wondrous written. You have, as always, captured all of the emotions perfectly. Tina’s nervousness and anticipation was palpable whereas Bette loss of consciousness was real.

      I can’t wait for your continuation of this marvellous melodrama.

      As Tina said “baby, I’m not going anywhere.”

      Your Loyal Fan

    17. More !! i want more !!! Skipton, you are the best writter here, that’s for sure ! I love yout style ! It makes me laugh, cry…you’re the best. You convey emotions so well…Thanks a lot for that !! i still have butterflies in my stomack !

    18. D-R-A-M-A in spades!

      I think you had us all collectively holding our breaths. That was like watching something in slow motion. I found myself wanting to reach out and hold Shelly back and throttle Alice.

      I thought for a moment there that Bette was fainting. I know that I would have.

      Excellent chapter. Always so well constructed.

    19. GRRRRRRRRRRRR.
      Because I love you and this story I will forgive you for this. Three pages and they…just…barely…
      Thanks! I am waiting for you next post. Soon?

    20. Hi Skipton,
      I just read all of your breathtaking chapters in one sitting. Well, almost one sitting. I got up to look out of the window at the firetruck bolting down the street. Then I got sidetracked and put another load of clothes in the washer – but since then, I’ve been glued to your story. You are an exceptional writer and this story is no different. The emotion in Shane’s character is heartfelt when defending B&T’s relationship to Alice & the girls. Kit’s concern when telling Shelly “to march out there and tell Bette that I’m on the phone and that I need to talk to her.” Is profound. I could feel the plates of protection for her sister sliding into place. And the description of the thought process with the dirty windows competing against seeing Tina was killing me. I think I lost all conscious thought too because I had to remind myself to breathe.

    21. Tina could go a long way by showing Bette some submissive body language: on bended knee or showing her soft underbelly would do for starters.

      I’m still wondering: what does she want?
