    Reprisal Reprised- Chapter 9

     

    “No” she said, “I totally get the point.  I’m just telling you that the delivery could use a little work.”

     

    “You know what?  ***** you.  Next time you are in crisis mode, I’ll be sure to take the extra 30 minutes needed to go home first and practice.  Now, give me that” she said as she reached for the wine bottle.

     

    Bette began laughing, so much so that after a minute or two, Alice finally joined in.

     

    “You really are an *****.  You know that?” laughed Alice as she wiped a tear from her cheek.

     

    “Trust me, Al” said Bette as she too wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes.  “If there is one thing in this world that I do know, it’s that I’m an *****.”

     

    “They say the first stage is acceptance” chuckled Alice.

     

    “Well then” laughed Bette, “bring on stage two.”

     

    Leaning over, Alice filled Bette’s glass, subsequently emptying the bottle.

     

    “We need another one” said Alice as she plopped it down on the table.

     

    “You plan on staying here tonight?” asked Bette.

     

    “Bette, just ’cause Tina is back in town and has thrown your life upside down, don’t think that I am going to suddenly fall into bed with you.”

     

    “Well damnit” smiled Bette as she stood to grab another bottle of wine.  “You have managed to see right through me.  I will consider myself shot down, but” she said as she looked down at Alice, “since you don’t need to be driving, I still want you to spend the night.  But if you insist, and I’ll try to understand” she smiled as she faked a couple of sniffs, “you can take the sofa.”

     

    “Good, just as long as we understand each other” chuckled Alice as she watched Bette walk away.

     

    With Bette inside getting more wine, Alice took a moment to reflect on the conversation that the two of them had had over the last couple of hours.  She knew that things were going to be tough on Bette in the near future, but felt deep down that Tina was not here to hurt her again.

     

    She had absolutely no idea what it was that had driven Tina away, but she did know that Tina had never loved another human being like she had loved Bette, and that kind of love she also knew, did not disappear over night.

    2. wonderful perspective on Bette and Alice – now what’s the skinny on Tina don’t make us wait too long – it’s too intriquing. As always your writing is so so fine.

    3. I love your version of Bette! I’m glad that she’s learned a few things over the years. Al’s a good friend. Bette and Tina are lucky to have her around. Great chapter, skip! Definitely worth the wait. :)

    4. skippy, just dont playing us, k. bette sooo loves her some tina still. sending over al spot on. al will be the messenger that she was sent to be for bette. thanks. and soon please.

    5. Okay, I’m getting a warm fuzzy since one Bette Porter has such a big heart. I’m still wary of Tina though. Enjoyed the dialogue between Alice & Bette. Most endearing. Great chapter Skip!

    6. Thanks so much for this update. I loved the exchange between Alice and Bette, and you captured the electric tension between Alice and Tina, and their subsequent ease with each other so very well. This is a fabulous story–can’t wait to see where you take us with it.

    7. Boones Farm Select Oh the memory of a many of Boones Farm from my youth, I was laughing hard at the at one. Wonderful pace and sentiment in this one. Thanks so much for the story.

    8. Wow that was great and Bette does have a big heart for her to understand what it felt like to be alone and to know how hard that would be for Tina..Can’t wait to find out what kept Tina away..Please post soon and Good Luck with your Katrina survivor..You have a big heart also.

    9. Two great scenes between friends make this an excellent chapter. Bette has a surprising amount of empathy for Tina. I, too, am waiting to see how Tina will explain herself and how you will write it all in your superlative way. Thanks so much! Good luck with your new pet.

    10. Another wonderful chapter Skip. The dialogue in both scenes was perfect. Its nice to see that Bette still wants Tina to have support, even after she left her and went to NY.

    11. I glad that Bette asked Alice to go see Tina she has been there and knows how it feels. If yow need a friend,guess Alice and Shane would be it. Guess you will tell us why she left. thanks

    12. Tina has a ton of fences to mend, and I can’t wait to hear what she’s been up to.

      It was neat of you and your family to open your home to a pet left homeless by the hurricane. We all know that you and your inspiration have biggie sized talents, nice to know you have biggie sized hearts to match.

    13. Skipton,

      Another wondrous addition to this superb story.

      It is comforting to see that the support system is still in place for all of the gals.
      Even though they have all been through tough times the love, understanding and generosity is constant. These things are the measure of true friendship and bonding.
      It may be years since they last saw each other; the separation was sudden but the old habits like a pair of comfy slippers they just slip on and you soon forget you are wearing any.

      This has been poignantly crafted in this brilliant installment. It is a testament to the high quality and standard of your writing that so many fans are devoted to this fabulous fan fiction.

      These are intense and emotive times but through persistence and persuasion the rewards of reconnection are worth all of the short term turmoil and upheaval.

      I will be constant in my desire to follow this tale and will be here waiting and watching.
      Your Loyal Fan
