Sue loved to serve chai tea. She stirred the water and the fragrance of herbs filled her small kitchen. I waited for her in the living room. “You look worried.” She observed and gave me a look from those witty, amiable eyes. “A penny for your thoughts.”
I rested my chin on one palm. “Company stuff, mainly.”
“Sweetheart, I know that look. Go on, what is it that you’re here on a work day morning.”
“Nothing can escape your eyes, Sue, I give you that.” I chuckled.
She didn’t respond to that, but slowly moved back from the kitchen, and sat down on the armchair next to where I was. Folding her thin, wrinkled hands on her lap. A kitten jumped on and nuzzled its pink nose to her clothes.
We stayed silent for a few minutes that way. I stroked the kitten and contemplated.
“Is it about her?” She suddenly asked, and right on point. Over the years, I came to her every time I felt the world was collapsing down on top of me. Most of the times, it was because of the unresolved issues about her, but I refused to talk about it, Sue understood, she just let me break down and took care of me.
“She uh… she is coming back—I don’t know if it’s coming back and I don’t know how long she’s staying… Just…”
Sue didn’t seem too surprised hearing it. “Well, I think it’s time, Tina. It’s been all these years. Maybe she’s ready to let bygones be bygones.”
“I don’t know. I don’t know if I’m ready.” I sobbed into my hand. The kitten jumped from her lap to mine as if it wanted to lend a paw to help too. But I picked it up and put it back.
“Give it a chance, for Angelo’s sake, Tina. You know you’ll have to face her sooner or later, as long as you hold half the custody of that boy.” She reasoned. Bette had the other half because Marcus made us both Angelo’s godmothers. Though she was never here, she paid the bills, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to send him to the finest pre-school and then a prestigious private elementary school.
I could relate to her point. For Angelo’s sake. Yes, I had sworn to do everything I can for my poor boy since the tragic day three and half years ago. If facing the memory of my own tragedy was an inevitable element in providing him the best, I’d do it without a second guess. Yet I just wasn’t sure that letting him get to know the person that would possibly never be around was the best option. “I know. It’s just… she’s never been in his life, and the odd is that she’ll never be either. I don’t want him to have the hope and be forced to let that go again.” I said, and then bit my lower lip for a few seconds, added. “I’m afraid to have hope and let go again too.”

My dear readers!
I just did a major change in my story telling. I changed from third person perspective to first person POV!
How do you like it? I want to know if you prefer this writing technique to the old one. It’s okay if you’d like me to return to third person view point. I’ll just rewrite this chapter and the next one.
And I know there are questions unanswered, things unresolved. But things will gradually work out.
Thank you for reading and please, COMMENT on this one because I need your direction.
Peace
woo！now I see the big picture here! You’ve handled well with the child part, so can we see the duo have some passionate action next chapter? I am hanging and waiting, thanks for the adequate updating!
Passionate action, huh, well, maybe not the next chapter immediately but soon, I guarantee.
There’s just so many emotions and complicated issues between the two.
I hope you’ll enjoy this more. I’m actually improvising here.
And I am reading “down to earth ” by browneyedgirl28,and she hasn’t updated it for nearly two months ,soooo frustrating!
Oh, I think I’ve read her stories. But lately I don’t have much time reading fanfic. I don’t know why, just have been busy here and there.
I won’t disappear for two whole months, nevertheless! :)
You did a great Job writing in first person! For me, i like third person versions more, but you don’t have to re write for me. I love the story and will read it in the version you give it us.
Wow, Bette was so cold, but i hope Angelo will warm her heart.
They are still married? Hmm…
Can’t wait for their diner meeting on Monday.
Thank you very much for the encouragement!
Bette is a bit heartless as she comes back. But kids, they have the power to capture one’s heart in no time. She will come around and set things right between her and her son.
Yes, still married. They have so much history together and it’s kind of difficult for them to give that up.
I hope you’ll continue to enjoy!
Well Bette is a bitch, but I understand that, but pleas you have to sort that. Please please.
Haha she is kind of bitchy in this chapter.
I will absolutely make her come around to her senses.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
Nice….a little disappointed by the turn of events, but I’m sure there are happier days ahead!
Yes, that I can guarantee! Thank you for reading and commenting!

Won’t be long! I’m working on it!
Thanks for the support!

Thanks for commenting! Please continue to read and enjoy!
RT,
The Past was kind of Bad, the Present is Slightly Good but the Future of Bette, Tina and Angelo seems going to be Better :)
Thanks for posting.

The past has some good memories in it, the present is complicated, the future, I promise, will be sweeter.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
That was great and the kid are so smart and cute, like him. Wow they still married, what a surprise, hope they will talk more and get to know each other again. Please post more, thanks
Yes, the kid is great! I wish I could have one of those in the future haha.
They are still married, and a lot of unresolved issues in their relationship.
Things will get better!
Thanks for commenting.
Threw me for loop completely. I would love to really the aftermath from when Bette heard Tina and her father conversation I mean after all these chapters thats what we been waiting for and the story just turn….but Shit I like this too I dont know I want it to be the way you written at first but its your choice and you are a brilliant, exquisite writer, I trust you lol!
On the other hand wow Bette was a lil mean but can you blame her for the way she treated Tina, I still can’t believe how many chances Tina had to tell her and didn’t, and Marcus died awe how sad, I would love to see them have another baby but im thinking ahead, and can’t believe Tina still in touch with her dad but family is family.
I guess im going to just see where this goes and enjoy every moment of it.
I know, it’s kind of a surprise isn’t it?! I was going for that kind of effect, actually. Besides, I can’t really go on with the confrontation anymore. That was just plain painful.
Bette is really mean here. She has her reasons to be, and you’re right, Tina not telling her the truth on so many occasions is one of them.
Marcus, oh I am sorry about him, too. But… to serve the plot…
They still can have another baby. Just it’s really too long in the future for them to talk about having another kid. They got to get back together first!
But it will all happen eventually!
Thanks for commenting. And I wish you’ll enjoy it more!
I understand Bette.Thank you for the update,PPS
Yes, she has the reasons to be mad. But she’ll come to her senses.
Thank you for reading and commenting! I’m working on it.
I love the story and will read whatever version you choose to write.
Thank you! You are very kind.
Ok, I’ll continue in the first person for more chapters and maybe I’ll return to third person perspective in later chapters!
